Performance

The Hyundai Sonata offers Ashland, OH drivers a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine as its standard offering, but you'll probably want to move up to the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine in the N Line trim to get 290 horsepower. That amount of horsepower surpasses the Toyota Camry, which comes up short of the Sonata with a maximum of only 232 horsepower in the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) model. The Sonata offers both a gas and a hybrid option, while the Camry is now available only as a hybrid.

Meanwhile, the Sonata has another edge over the Camry because every version of the Sonata comes with standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD). The Sonata's N Line engine's 290 horsepower also beats the Honda Accord, with a max of only 204 horsepower, and the Nissan Altima, with an even lower maximum of 188 horsepower.

Fuel Economy

The Hyundai Sonata is a stellar performer regarding fuel economy, with 38 MPG on Willard, OH highways, which matches the outstanding fuel efficiency of both the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord. In a city like Mt Vernon, OH, the Hyundai Sonata has an edge over the Nissan Altima, delivering 28 MPG compared with only 27 MPG in the city for the Altima. The Sonata Hybrid can achieve up to 52 MPG on Galion, OH highways, while the Camry Hybrid can reach similar figures, with up to 52 MPG on the highway

Design and Functionality

The Hyundai Sonata offers Crestline, OH buyers a variety of convenient and practical features, including a motion-activated hands-free trunk and liftgate, variable intermittent windshield wipers, automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot warning system, and rear cross-traffic alert. With 16 cubic feet of space in the trunk, the Hyundai Sonata beats the Toyota Camry, with 15.1 cubic feet, and the Nissan Altima, with 15.4 cubic feet.

The Sonata provides your Marion, OH family with split-folding rear seats that let you expand the interior space to accommodate larger items. In addition, it has a hands-free, motion-activated smart trunk lid as standard equipment, so the Sonata gets another edge over its competition regarding practical functionality.

Technology

The Hyundai Sonata scores a major win when it comes to technology, starting with its exceptionally large standard 12.3-inch touch screen. That display dwarfs the standard 8.0-inch touch screen in the Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima, and it has an even bigger advantage over the 7.0-inch standard touch screen in the Honda Accord. The Hyundai Sonata comes with standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, while the standard offering in the Nissan Altima is a wired system.

Warranties

A car's warranty says a lot about the confidence that the car maker has in the quality of its vehicles, and the Hyundai Sonata lights up the scoreboard in that department. The Hyundai Sonata comes with a class-leading five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, which beats the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord, and the Nissan Altima. All three of those competitors have a basic warranty that's only three years or 60,000 miles. So the Hyundai Sonata not only gives Wooster, OH buyers a considerably longer warranty, but it also provides them with a better night's sleep.
