2026 Hyundai Sonata - Sound, Exterior and Interior Walkaround

More Info: CRYSTAL CAR http://instagram.com/crystalcar_ru https://crystalcar.me/lexus/ 2026 Hyundai Sonata Price: $28.695–$39.495 Overview It’s a shame people have forsaken sedans in favor of SUVs when models like the 2026 Hyundai Sonata are simply nicer to drive, better equipped, and more fuel efficient than much of the high-riding competition. Not only that, the Sonata lineup caters to different shoppers with different needs with its trio of powertrains, ranging from a tame naturally aspirated four-cylinder to a thrifty hybrid to—our favorite—a muscle-bound 290-hp turbo four. In terms of handling and ride quality, this family sedan isn’t at the top of the class, but it’s comfortable and positively packed with driver-assistance and convenience features to make your life easier. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Engines: 191-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder (standard), 2.0-liter four-cylinder with one electric motor for combined 192 hp (hybrid), 290-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder (N Line) Transmissions: 8-speed automatic (standard), 6-speed automatic (hybrid), 8-speed dual-clutch automatic (N Line) Drivetrains: front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive The nonhybrid, nonturbo Sonata makes an adequate 191 horsepower from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder. It’s not the sharpest handler in its class—the Honda Accord is more engaging to drive—but it's still composed and sufficiently responsive. We also commend Hyundai for continuing to equip its family sedan with a smooth-shifting conventional automatic transmission instead of the engine-drone-inducing continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that other automakers have embraced. During our time with the 192-hp Sonata Hybrid, which pairs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a motor-generator, we appreciated its fuel-saving efforts but disliked its noticeable transitions between gas and electric power sources. As for the 290-hp Sonata N Line, it’s our favorite of the lineup, delivering fast and frugal fun. Late-model-year models benefit from a retuned eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and a revised launch-control system, which together make the N Line much more pleasant to drive in traffic and more consistent off the line. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo First Row: We have few complaints about the Sonata’s interior. The front row is more spacious than the Accord’s and the Camry’s, and the seats are comfortable and supportive. Material quality is also better than we’d expect for a sub-$30,000 sedan. Second Row: The back seat isn’t the roomiest in the segment, but average-size adults will be fine back there for hour-long trips. Cargo Capacity: The Sonata's 16-cubic-foot trunk is reasonably sized, capable of swallowing seven carry-on suitcases. We also appreciate the wide opening, as it makes loading easy.
