Even before Hyundai refreshed the Sonata’s design, we were smitten with the sedan’s versatility, comfort, and affordability. Now that they’ve released the redesigned Sonata, we’ve found even more to love.
Here are three of our favorite things in the all-new Hyundai Sonata:
1. It’s A Technophile’s Dream
The number of standard and available tech features in the Sonata makes it one of the smartest and most entertaining vehicles on the road today.
Watch it Park Itself
There are many drivers out there who are astoundingly awful when it comes to parking their car. It shouldn’t be so hard to park inside the lines, right? Thanks to Hyundai engineers, those tight squeeze spots are now available with the push of a button on your Smart Key.
Your Smartphone on Steroids
Now your Android phone can do even more than play your favorite audiobooks and playlists. Hyundai Digital Key replicates your key fob on your smartphone. When you want to lend your Sonata to a family member or a friend, send your digital key right to their phone. Sorry, Apple fans, the Hyundai Digital Key works using Near-Field Communication, which is only available on Android devices.
2. So Fresh, So Clean
Not only did Hyundai design the Sonata’s interior with the clean lines and soft-touch surfaces of those high-falootin’ European sedans, but they also engineered it to keep looking great.
Clutter, Be GONE!
An uncluttered dashboard and console give the Sonata a refined look and feel. And with cubby holes throughout the cabin, you won’t be bothered by gadgets, devices, and other items rattling around the car.
No More Pine Tree Air Freshener Dangling From Your Mirror
If you really want the premium sedan experience, you can get leather-appointed seats in the Limited trim for under $35,000. But if that’s not high on your list of priorities (or you’re vegan), Hyundai’s YES Essentials cloth seats are stain and odor resistant. So, if you’re prone to spilling your Frappuccinos in the car, you won’t have lingering stains or sour milk odors to remind you.
3. Oh, the Money You’ll Save
What we love the most about the Hyundai Sonata is you don’t have to spend a lot to get a lot. It’s arguably the most feature-rich sedan available, especially when you factor in three years of free maintenance. Here are more reasons why we think it’s an excellent car for money-savvy shoppers.
Driver Assistance Features that Work Overtime
You don’t have to shell out more cash for top trim levels to get must-have safety features such as Rear Occupant Alert, Smart Cruise Control, and Forward Collision-Avoidance. You get that on every Sonata model.
Ready to Kick Big Oil to the Curb?
You may not be able to give Big Oil the boot entirely, but with mileage in the 38 highway MPG range, you’ll spend a lot less at the pump. And the Hyundai Sonata comes in a hybrid model with an available solar panel that can take you from Los Angeles to Santa Cruz and back on a tank of gas.
Yep. We Stan the Hyundai Sonata
The Hyundai Sonata is innovative, thoughtfully designed, and crafted to deliver years of comfort and reliability. And, compared to its European and Japanese rivals, you get a lot more premium features for your money. If you’re looking for your next daily driver, it’s definitely worth checking out.
