Interior Features
The new Hyundai Sonata has one of the most elegant interiors in its class. It features a simple design while incorporating high-quality materials throughout the cabin. While top trims get leather upholstery, entry-level models will have premium-cloth or leatherette seats. The power-adjustable front seats have heating and ventilation options, enhancing your comfort as you drive around Middleton, ID. You will also love the dual-zone automatic climate control feature, a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and a heated steering wheel.
Tech-wise, the new Hyundai Sonata has an 8.0-inch infotainment display as standard on entry-level trims, while high-trim models get a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Base models will support Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD radio, and Bluetooth streaming. As you move up the trims list, you will enjoy more enhanced features, including a 12-speaker audio system, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Blue Link.
Performance Features
The new Sonata offers three gasoline-powered engines and a hybrid option. The Hyundai Sonata SE and SEL models have a 2.5-liter inline-four engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It sends 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque to a front-wheel drivetrain. Fuel economy for models with this engine ranges at an EPA-estimated 28 mpg on city driving and 38 mpg on the highway. Despite having a similar 2.5-liter engine, the N Line makes the most power output due to a turbocharger. You will enjoy 290 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque sent to a front-wheel drivetrain via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
While providing a high performance rating, Hyundai offers a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four engine in the SEL Plus and Limited models to keep fuel economy low. The engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and sends 180 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque to a front-wheel drivetrain. Expect an excellent fuel economy rating with the 1.6-liter engine, which returns an EPA-estimated 27 mpg on city driving and 37 mpg on the highway. The hybrid model will enjoy 192 horsepower from the 2.0-liter inline-four engine paired with an electric motor and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Safety Features
Like the outgoing model year, the new Hyundai Sonata has an impressive list of safety features to protect you as you drive through Parma, ID. Apart from the seven-airbag system, you will also have a rearview camera, blind-spot assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking. In addition, the model offers a forward-collision warning system, lane departure warning, parking sensors, and lane tracing assist.
