6 TRIMS ABOUT THE HYUNDAI SONATA
Hyundai Sonata at a glance
The Hyundai Sonata remains a useful alternative to the flood of crossovers, offering three distinct personalities in one midsize-sedan body. The standard 2.5-liter engine makes 191 hp, the hybrid focuses on fuel economy, and the N Line’s turbocharged 2.5-liter raises output to 290 hp. All-wheel drive is available with the standard engine, while the performance-focused N Line remains front-wheel drive. Cariary sees the hybrid as the rational long-distance choice and the N Line as the enthusiast option, though its traction limits can appear under hard acceleration. The Sonata’s strongest qualities are still cabin space, clear technology and a high level of equipment for the price.
