The Hyundai Sonata is one of the most value-packed sedans in its class and offers modern tech, excellent safety ratings, and class-leading warranty coverage.

Cons

<ul>
<li>AWD limited to one trim</li>
<li>Rivals have more seating space</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Hyundai Sonata is powered by a 191-horsepower 4-cylinder engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD), or optional all-wheel drive in the case of the SEL Sport trim. This side of the Sonata is more about comfort and fuel economy than precision and speed, which we can get behind without a qualm. Overall, it’s an agreeable experience.
Drivers who want more muscle to call on occasionally, the N Line has a turbocharged engine, which puts out a hearty 290 hp through a wet dual-clutch 8-speed automatic transmission, a tweaked suspension, and 19-inch wheels. A sports sedan in this class from a mainstream brand is increasingly rare, so the Sonata N Line brings some welcome adrenaline to this practical segment.
In addition to the turbo engine, the N Line trim is the only variant of the non-hybrid Sonata that comes with Highway Driving Assist. It doesn’t allow hands-free driving, but it is one of our favorite semi-autonomous highway driving systems. It keeps the Sonata a safe distance from the car in front of you and centered in your lane while feeling very natural.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Hyundai Sonata’s base engine returns up to 28 city/38 highway/32 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 25 city/34 highway/28 combined mpg with all-wheel drive. These efficiency ratings are about the same as those of the Kia K5 and the non-hybrid Honda Accord.
It’s worth mentioning that the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid nets up to 47 city/56 highway/51 combined mpg, which is about the same as the Camry and a little better than the Accord Hybrid.

Sleek Exterior

Exterior

With its refresh in 2024, the Sonata adopted what Hyundai calls the Seamless Horizon Lamp, which spans across the front end and is echoed by a bar of red across the tail. It makes this midsize sedan look stylish and high-tech without sacrificing its value and practicality.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Panoramic curved display 
This feature houses a digital gauge cluster and an infotainment screen in one sleek display giving the Sonata’s cockpit a high-tech and driver-centric theme.
Wireless smartphone connectivity 
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard on every 2026 Sonata. This makes it effortless to bring your maps, music, and more to the screen in the car without taking your phone out of your purse or pocket.
N Line model 
Want a sedan that’s practical and affordable but also fun to drive? The Sonata N Line strikes this balance nicely thanks to a 290-hp turbo engine, plus a sporty appearance package to match.
Highway Driving Assist 
This semi-autonomous driving system uses features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot monitoring to make highway driving safer and more relaxed. It only comes in the N Line trim.
Available AWD 
Although it’s limited to just the SEL Sport trim, we appreciate that all-wheel drive is optional in the Sonata, adding confident all-weather traction to this practical sedan.
Hyundai Digital Key 2.0 
This feature enables access for multiple drivers, using a phone app or a key card. It’s standard in the N Line trim.

High-Tech Interior

Interior

We’ve been impressed with the technology of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/">Hyundai</a> models in recent years, and the Sonata is no exception. Dual 12.3-inch displays span the dash; one is a digital gauge cluster, and the other is the central infotainment display. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard across the board.
The front seats are all-day comfortable, and the top N Line trim gets unique, sporty seats with H-Tex and microfiber upholstery. Other niceties that come with the N Line model include rear seat vents, a sunroof, and Bose audio.
The rear seat space is below average at 34.8 inches, but it’s certainly roomy enough for kids. If you’ll regularly have adults in the back seats, they’ll appreciate the extra space in the Camry or Accord. We noticed the trunk has a nice, wide opening that makes it easy to load and unload. It measures 16 cubic feet, which is more trunk space than the Camry but less than the Accord.

KBB Editors' Overview

The Hyundai Sonata doesn’t have the sales numbers of the big guys in this class, but it’s an appealing choice in midsize sedans. For starters, its sleek design makes it look not quite like anything else in this class. Its beauty is more than skin-deep. Inside is a comfortable and high-tech cabin, and the Sonata boasts top-notch safety ratings and the best warranty coverage in its class. Further compounding its practicality, this sedan is available with all-wheel drive (AWD), and there’s even a turbo engine option, making it more exciting to drive. There’s also a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/sonata-hybrid/">Hyundai Sonata Hybrid</a> that gets up to 51 mpg, which we review separately.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-mid-size-cars/">midsize cars</a>, including the Hyundai Sonata.

The 2026 Hyundai Sonata is priced at the lower end of midsize sedans. It’s close to the mechanically similar <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/k5/">Kia K5</a>, while the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/accord/">Honda Accord</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/camry/">Toyota Camry</a> are a little pricier.
Before buying a Sonata, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Hyundai Sonata resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

The two lower trims of the non-hybrid Hyundai Sonata are powered by a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that routes power to either the front or all four wheels.
The sportier Sonata N Line is powered by a gutsy turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 290 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
There are no better warranties in the mainstream milieu than those offered by Hyundai. The new-car warranty is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first. The powertrain is covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The Sonata currently holds the highest accolade of Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). Granted, so do the Camry and Accord, but it’s still an impressive award. The Sonata also took the maximum 5-Star overall score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>).

What's new for

Hyundai simplified the 2026 Sonata&#8217;s trim lineup. The old SEL and SEL Convenience trims are gone and replaced with the SEL Sport trim with desirable features like 18-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a wireless charging pad, and available all-wheel drive.

The 2026 Lexus RX offers a compelling mix of refinement, technology and value, making it a benchmark among midsize luxury SUVs.

<ul>
<li>Awkward infotainment system</li>
<li>Small cargo area</li>
</ul>

The RX 350 employs a turbocharged engine generating 275 horsepower, with front-wheel drive (FWD) as standard or all-wheel drive (AWD) available as an option. We&#8217;ve found this version of the RX responsive, efficient, and easy to drive. The cabin remains quiet and composed, even in stop-and-go traffic.
The RX 350h hybrid sacrifices a bit of performance (246 hp maximum output) for significantly better fuel economy. The 366-hp RX 500h, on the other hand, delivers more power and sharper handling thanks to upgrades in the suspension, steering, and all-wheel-drive system.
The 304-hp RX450h+ balances the power and economy mission while adding an impressive all-electric driving range on top. Despite having less horsepower than the RX 500h, and a continuously variable transmission, it’s only about 0.3 of a second slower from standstill to 60 mph, with a time of 6.2 seconds.
Fuel Economy
The RX is more efficient than many of its competitors, returning 25 mpg combined with FWD and 24 mpg with AWD. By comparison, the Genesis GV80 and Audi Q7 average 22 mpg combined, while the Cadillac XT5 nearly matches the RX with 24 mpg combined.
The RX 350h hybrid improves fuel economy to 36 mpg combined with standard AWD. The RX 500h, also AWD, focuses more on performance but still manages 27 mpg combined.
The RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid leads the pack with 83 MPGe and up to 37 miles of electric-only driving when fully charged.

Modern Exterior

The RX’s exterior design is sleek and contemporary. It’s a familiar look and its popularity suggests it continues to resonate with buyers. The F Sport Design package adds visual flair with specific front and rear styling, exclusive wheels, and special trim accents.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 
Standard across the lineup, wireless smartphone integration keeps things tidy and convenient &#8212; no cables required. Wireless charging also becomes standard for 2026, allowing users to ditch the cords entirely.
Traffic Jam Assist 
While not fully autonomous, the RX can manage low-speed traffic with automated steering, braking, and acceleration under certain conditions, perfect for stop-and-go driving.
Gorgeous color palette 
The RX offers a wide range of exterior colors, including Caviar, Cloudburst Gray, Copper Crest, Grecian Water, Iridium, Incognito, and Ultra White. Interior options include Macadamia, Palomino, Peppercorn, and Rioja Red.
21-speaker audio 
The Mark Levinson surround-sound system delivers crisp, immersive sound through 21 speakers.  It’s one of the best in this class.
Phone as a key 
The RX can recognize your smartphone and use it as a digital key. You can lock, unlock, and start the vehicle without taking your phone out, and even share access with friends and family.
Automated parallel parking 
This system takes the stress out of parallel parking by controlling steering, throttle, and braking using 12 sensors and four cameras, allowing the RX to essentially park itself.

Luxurious Cabin

Lexus always delivers on interior luxury. The RX’s 2-row/5-passenger cabin is quiet, well-appointed, and thoughtfully designed. Seats are supportive for long drives, and the layout is intuitive without feeling cluttered.
Rear-seat legroom measures 37.4 inches, about average for the class. Cargo space behind the second row is 29.6 cubic feet, which trails the Genesis GV80 and Lincoln Nautilus by about five cubic feet, but is comparable to the Cadillac XT5. Folding down the rear seats opens up 46.2 cubic feet, still less than the 60 to 85 cubic feet offered by some competitors, and about level with the Lexus NX, a substantially smaller SUV.

The 2026 Lexus RX continues to be one of the top-selling luxury SUVs in the United States for excellent reasons, including its quiet cabin, plush interior, and ample standard equipment. The RX is also affordable to own, having previously earned the Kelley Blue Book <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/rx/2024/cost-to-own/">Lowest 5-Year Cost to Own</a> award in its class. For luxury and practicality in a relatively affordable package, the RX is a great choice.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating the current generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-luxury-mid-size-suvs/">midsize luxury SUVs</a>, including the Lexus RX.

The RX enters the segment at a competitive price point, starting from just $51,175. Higher trims push into the $60K+ range, which is typical for this class. Rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/gv80/">Genesis GV80</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volvo/xc90/">Volvo XC90</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/q7/">Audi Q7</a> start at around $60,000, while the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/acura/mdx/">Acura MDX</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lincoln/nautilus/">Lincoln Nautilus,</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cadillac/xt5/2024/">Cadillac XT5</a> start at around the $50,000 mark.
Before buying a new Lexus RX midsize SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values are above the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<li>Comfortable ride quality</li>
<li>Fuel-sipping hybrid options</li>
<li>Low ownership costs</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Minor feature updates</li>
<li>New Premium trim for RX 450h+</li>
</ul>

The 2026 RX offers four powertrains. The RX 350 features a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard; all-wheel drive (AWD) is optional.
The RX 350h hybrid pairs an electric motor with a 4-cylinder engine to achieve 246 hp and 233 lb-ft of torque. That&#8217;s less powerful than the RX 350, but more efficient and comes with AWD as standard. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is deployed here.
The RX 500h hybrid ups the ante with 366 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, plus a 6-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD. It’s quicker than the RX 350 and nearly as efficient.
The RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid delivers 304 hp and an EPA-rated 37 miles of electric range.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Lexus RX comes with a 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty. A 10-year/150,000-mile warranty covers the hybrid battery, with an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty backing any other hybrid components. All RX models also come with a 1-year/10,000-mile complimentary service plan.
<h3>Safety</h3>
Although the 2026 model hasn&#8217;t been crash tested yet, the functionally identical 2025 Lexus RX received mostly 5-star marks from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>). The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings">IIHS</a>) named the RX a Top Safety Pick for 2024, but updates to front overlap testing methods saw lower scores for 2025. Contributing to the safety of every Lexus RX is the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. It bundles features like automatic emergency braking, lane-tracing assistance, road sign recognition, all-speed adaptive cruise control, and more.

The 2026 Lexus RX receives small enhancements for this model year. F Sport Handling and F Sport Performance trim can now be paired with the available Appearance Package. Wireless phone charging is now standard across the lineup. The 2026 RX also sees the introduction of the Premium trim for the RX 450h+ model.

$23,500 - $28,499

$23,500 - $28,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The Subaru Impreza is an affordable, spacious, and practical compact hatchback with standard all-wheel drive (AWD).

<ul>
<li>Most rivals are more efficient</li>
<li>No manual transmission</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Subaru Impreza is powered by a 152-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with a CVT automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. A familiar staple of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/">Subaru</a> models, it produces sufficient thrust to make piloting an Impreza an enjoyable enough experience. It can come off a bit coarse if you’re not used to Subaru’s trademark flat engines, but its refinement levels are above those of earlier Impreza generations.
Even more refined is the gutsier 2.5-liter boxer engine that powers the Impreza RS. This turns up the heat with 180 horsepower and is an easy upgrade to recommend if your budget allows it. That little extra power is noticeable; it drives a little smoother, and the fuel economy is about the same between the two engines.
Perhaps more significantly, the refined Impreza boasts outstanding ride quality. Subaru stiffened the chassis a bit in the 2024 redesign, which allowed the use of softer springs and firmer shock absorbers. The result? We find the Impreza a practical compact hatchback that’s remarkably comfortable on long trips but quite capable on twisty pavement.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2026 Subaru Impreza is rated at 27 city/34 highway/30 combined mpg with its base engine. All three of those numbers drop by one with the bigger engine in the RS, making a negligible difference in fuel costs.
The Impreza is about as efficient as the Mazda3, but the Honda Civic Hatchback and Toyota Corolla Hatchback get 34 and 35 combined mpg, respectively. The Civic Hatchback has a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic-hybrid/">hybrid option</a> that gets up to 48 combined mpg and is priced close to the Impreza RS.

Sporty Styling

Now that the Subaru Impreza only comes in the Sport and RS trims, every model has a distinctly sporty look to it. Both trims have stylish 18-inch wheels with a dark gray finish, and the RS trim adds extra black exterior accents. A nice addition for 2026 is the new Citron Yellow Pearl paint option.

All-wheel drive 
A Subaru hallmark, with active torque vectoring to deliver the right amount of drive to each wheel for optimum grip and stability, all-wheel drive is standard in every new Impreza.
EyeSight 
The Impreza’s EyeSight driver assist includes forward collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering.
Infotainment system 
Subaru fits an 11.6-inch touchscreen into every 2026 Impreza, which is accompanied by wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration.
Paddle shifters 
Although they’re not a replacement for a stick shift, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters in the Impreza enable a manual mode with eight preset gear ratios, creating a more engaging driving experience.
RS model 
Rolling on a sport suspension, wearing unique exterior treatments, bringing extra safety tech, and producing 180 hp, we think the RS is worth the extra cost.
Harman Kardon audio 
The Impreza RS offers an optional Harman Kardon 10-speaker, 432-watt premium audio system, which brings music and podcasts to life.

Functional Interior

In typical Subaru fashion, the Impreza has a functional and practical interior that’s low on frills. The quality and durability are good for the price point. The interior’s centerpiece is a vertically oriented 11.6-inch infotainment display. The big icons are easy to manage, but this system is already feeling a little dated compared to some rivals. At least wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard, and the HVAC controls still use physical buttons.
Interior space in the Subaru Impreza is great for a compact hatchback. 36.5 inches of rear legroom and class-leading 38 inches of rear headroom make it one of the most accommodating back seats for taller adults in this class. There’s 20.4 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats and a whopping 56 cubic feet with the back seats folded down. The Impreza is among the roomiest compacts in its class, but the Civic Hatchback has a little extra cargo space and rear legroom.

The Subaru Impreza is the offbeat brand’s most affordable car, and it brings with it many of the charms that people love about the brand. Some Subaru hallmarks like strong safety ratings and standard all-wheel drive are accounted for, plus it has the frugality and practicality of a compact hatchback with adult-friendly interior space, even in back. The RS trim turns up the fun while keeping it fuel-efficient, and a few options like a sunroof and Harman Kardon audio system make it more premium than you might expect.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-compact-cars/">compact cars</a>, including the Subaru Impreza.

The 2026 Subaru Impreza starts at $27,790 for the Sport trim and $30,690 for the RS model.

</table>

The starting price of the Subaru Impreza is a little high compared to the rest of the compact hatchback class, but remember, it ditched its base trim this year. It’s similarly priced to similarly equipped cars in this class, like the hatchback versions of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic/">Honda Civic</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-hatchback/">Toyota Corolla</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/mazda3/?bodystyle=hatchback">Mazda3</a>. Notably, the Impreza is one of America’s most affordable vehicles with all-wheel drive.
Before buying an Impreza, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Subaru Impreza resale value is a little above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<li>Citron Yellow paint option</li>

The Impreza Sport is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 152 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. This horsepower is about the same as that of the Civic and Sentra; however, it’s less than that of the Corolla and the class-leading Mazda3.
The RS has a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates a more spirited 180 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. Both have a continuous variable automatic transmission (CVT) that sends power to all four wheels. Unfortunately, there’s no manual option like there is for the sportier versions of the Civic, Corolla, and Mazda3.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Subaru’s current new-car warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. The powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, which is typical for the class. Subaru offers free routine maintenance for the first two years or 24,000 miles.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) gave the Impreza the top “Good” rating in every category of its testing except the moderate overlap front crash test, where it got a “Marginal” rating. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) gave it the top 5-Star overall safety rating. The Subaru Impreza is well-equipped with standard safety features. The standard EyeSight safety tech suite has a wider camera view, automatic emergency braking, and advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering. Emergency Lane Keep Assist is included on models equipped with blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert.

What's new for 2026

This year, the 2026 Subaru Impreza lineup is simplified with only two trims: Sport and RS. The old base trim has been discontinued. Citron Yellow Pearl joins the color palette as a new premium paint option, and there’s a new Auto Vehicle Shutdown feature that turns off the engine after idling for 30 minutes. Additionally, a new Emergency Lane Keep Assist is now standard in RS and optional in Sport.
