It’s like drinking from a bottomless cup of coffee. There’s just no need to stop frequently and re-fuel with the Sonata Hybrid. A week-long test drive of Sonata Hybrid meant piling on the miles and driving by gas stations again and again. Hyundai’s 2024 hybrid sedan, essentially a carryover model, collects estimated mpg of 44 city and a whopping 51 highway. The four-door provides hearty legroom for front occupants (about 46 inches). And for travelers needing to bring along luggage and stop to shop for groceries, the open-wide mouth 16-cubic foot trunk makes loading and unloading easy.
The Sonata Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with a motor/generator to provide 192 horsepower. A 6-speed automatic transmission is mated to the hybrid engine. The tested Sonata Hybrid Limited features a long list of standard fare, including panoramic sunroof, heated side mirrors, heated/ventilated front seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, 12.3-inch instrument cluster and 12.3 inch touchscreen navigation system with AM/FM/HD radio as well as numerous advanced safety technologies. Base MSRP of the tested 111.8-inch wheelbase Sonata Hybrid Limited is $37,200.
