Hyundai Sonata
Select a Year
(22 available)Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
For 2012, the Sonata Limited gains a 3-piece panoramic sunroof, while all trims receive Hyundai's Blue Link infotainment and safety system. Cars equipped with navigation also come with HD radio.
There's a new mainstream mid-size sedan in town, and it's going to force Honda and Toyota to step up their games.
In a nod to improved fuel economy, Hyundai has added its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine to the SE and Limited trims. A V6 is still available on all but the base GLS model. Auxiliary audio and a USB input jack are now standard on all trims.
The Sonata gets a comprehensive – and much needed – mid-cycle update for 2009. The architecture is the same, but it has a completely reworked interior, upgraded engines, minor exterior revisions, different spring rates and larger front and rear stabilizer bars.
If ever there was a car that proved that if you build it well, they will come (and buy it), it's the 2012 Hyundai Sonata. The Sonata was once was just a low-priced midsize sedan with a great warranty, but the current Sonata has taken the market by storm. From its stunning sculpted exterior, to its modern and feature-filled interior, to a suite of powerful yet fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engines, the 2012 Hyundai Sonata hits every target with pin-point accuracy. Up against heavy hitters like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, the Sonata comes out smelling like rose, and a very inexpensive rose at that. Its engine uses the latest gasoline direct-injection technology to deliver some of the best fuel economy figures in the segment, and there is even a hybrid model to appeal to the super-green consumer who still needs the practicality of a big, roomy sedan.

"I get 32 mpg winter and 37-39 mpg summer. With all the room I need being 6'5" my wife 6'2" and my 18 year girl at 6'1" best leg room and hip room really room for 5 adults. Also I can drive 575-610 per tank. It is a little buzzy with concrete roads."

"I bought 2012 Hyundai Sonata 2.0 Turbo in 12 Aug, 2011. It is the best vehicle I have ever seen, driven. It came with a navigation-moon roof pack. I drove the car from OK to MI around 1000 miles and it gave me 37 MPG on overall trip. It has 275 hp, powerful and faster than anything on the road, smooth, reliable, comfortable,economic, etc. I paid $28,500 for this brand new car and I think it was the best deal in my life compared to price-satisfaction base. I am a young guy and this car is created for me:). I have no idea about other different hp, engine versions of this model but I strongly recommend 2.0 T with navigation - moon roof pack, do not think, just buy it. Every future that you think comes standard with this model. Besides, you will have the best warranty options in US such as 60.000 miles/6 years bumper to bumper and 100.000 miler/10 years power train. Wowwwwww..."

"I traded my Mercedes Benz Slk 230 in for the Sonata SE and it was the best move I have ever done.the SLK was getting 22 mpg around town with super unleaded the Sonata I am getting an awesome 28 mpg with regular unleaded. Remember I said intown driving. Car rides just as smooth as my moms 2001 Deville has more gadgets than her Deville and didnt cost half as much as either her Deville or my SLK. As for as performance the Sonata SE handles just as well as the Mercedes C300 sport, has about the same take off too and has all the standard features that the Mercedes C300 has as optional. I will say that the Mercedes handles different because it being RWD and the Sonata being FWD. The styling of the Sonata is a nice combination of Mercedes and Lexus minus the price. If this is the direction that Hyundai is going, they will soon be leading the car industries. Trading a Mercedes off and getting a Hyundai to replace it... and I would suggest it to anybody."
