byJosh Jacquot^{Correspondent
Josh Jacquot is an automotive journalist at Edmunds.}

Pros

Comes loaded with many helpful standard technology features
Roomy interior with ample storage
High fuel economy from the Sonata Hybrid
Sonata N Line's sporty performance

Cons

Not as comfortable as some other top sedans

What's new

Refreshed styling, inside and out
Bigger and improved center touchscreen
All-wheel drive becomes available
Part of the seventh Sonata generation introduced for 2020

Overview

Hyundai's play with the 2024 Sonata is a familiar one: Offer more car for the same or lower price than rivals and back it up with a warranty no one else can match. And it works. Few other midsize sedans supply the abundance of tech and driver assist features the Sonata offers for the same money. Accompanying this year's thorough refresh is a simplified model lineup that improves the base Sonata's standard equipment and eliminates one powertrain.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Hyundai Sonata SEL 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.52 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: 2024 Sonata gets a big update

You can spot this year's Sonata by its distinctive-looking styling. Up front is a full-width headlight bar and a more aggressive-looking lower grille. Inside, Hyundai added a single curved display that houses a digital instrument panel and a new 12.3-inch touchscreen. The touchscreen supports wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is a new addition for 2024. The 2024 Sonata's lineup is also revised. Last year's base SE trim has been discontinued, leaving the former midtier SEL trim as the least expensive way to get a Sonata. The previous turbocharged 1.6-liter engine is also gone. For 2024, your powertrain choices are the base 2.5-liter engine (which now is available with all-wheel drive), the fuel-sipping Sonata Hybrid and the sporty turbocharged Sonata N Line that makes a robust 290 horsepower.

Competitors to consider

It's worth your time to check out other top midsize contenders that include the Honda Accord, Kia K5 and Toyota Camry. The Accord has long been a sales success; it was redesigned last year and has a new look and an available hybrid powertrain. Toyota's Camry is another well-known sedan but the current iteration is getting a bit outdated. Finally, there's the Kia K5. It shares a lot of technology features and mechanical bits with the Sonata, though you can't get it as a hybrid. Among this group the updated Sonata easily stands out. Check back soon for our test team's full report.

Which Sonata does Edmunds recommend?

Get the Sonata SEL for the best blend of equipment and value. It's available with the base engine or a hybrid powertrain. The SEL Hybrid costs a little more but you should be able to recoup your costs after just a few years of ownership thanks to its superior fuel economy.

Hyundai Sonata models

The 2024 Sonata is a midsize sedan available in four trims: SEL, N Line, SEL Hybrid and Limited Hybrid. It's important to know the difference between them since there are three available powertrains. The SEL is the mainstream Sonata. It comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder (191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque), an eight-speed automatic transmission, and either front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. Then there's the N Line. It's the sporty Sonata and it has a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder (290 horsepower, 311 lb-ft of torque). You can't get all-wheel drive with the N Line, however.

The SEL Hybrid and Limited Hybrid trims use a 2.0-liter four cylinder engine coupled to a six-speed automatic and a hybrid system to produce a total of 190 horsepower. These hybrids are also front-wheel-drive only but get the best fuel economy of the lineup. Keep reading for more information about the hybrid and the Sonata's standard and optional features.

Comes respectably equipped with:

17-inch alloy wheels

Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

2022 Hyundai Sonata SEL 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

Purchased a 2022 Sonata SEL. The styling can be polarizing but I think it has a great look from most angles. The SEL is the sweet spot in the Sonata line.

2024 Hyundai Sonata First Impressions

byCameron Rogers

•1/25/2023 (updated 8/30/2023)

What is the Sonata?

While midsize sedans are quite practical, they aren't known for their jaw-dropping sheetmetal. On sale since 2020, the swoopy, seventh-generation Hyundai Sonata sedan is a breath of fresh air from its conservatively designed competitors. And for 2024, it's going to get a whole lot weirder (in a good way).

The transformative spaceship-like styling might tell a different story, but the 2024 Hyundai Sonata really is an evolution of last year's model. The rear end, for example, features the same upturned spoiler that melts into the taillights. But up front, the gaping catfish maw is jettisoned in favor of a full-width headlight bar and a sharp lower fascia that — dare we say it — brings to mind the Lamborghini Urus.

If you like the look, you're in luck, as this appears to be Hyundai's new design language. The slim, wide light bar with trapezoidal elements in the air dam was first previewed by the 2024 Kona, and we expect to see it adapted to future Hyundais as well.

What's under the Sonata's hood?

The Sonata's base powertrain continues to be a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that drives the front wheels. While Hyundai hasn't disclosed its power output just yet, we believe this engine is a carryover, so expect it to pump out 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. New for this year is an optional all-wheel-drive system, so driving in areas with inclement weather will be less of a white-knuckle experience than before.

Unfortunately, the turbocharged 1.6-liter that gives midtier versions of the current Sonata a performance edge will be dropped from the lineup. That means you're rolling with the base engine until you reach the N Line variant, which adds a turbocharger. Again, output hasn't been confirmed yet, but we expect it to squeeze out the same 290 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque as the current Sonata N Line. The Sonata Hybrid that we review separately also returns for 2024.

How's the Sonata's interior?

The Sonata's cabin is roomy for adults of most sizes up front, and even though the roofline sweeps dramatically downward, the rear seat has good headroom, too. Note that if you want to fit 6-footers in the back comfortably, you might want to skip models with the panoramic sunroof. No matter which trim level you select, legroom abounds in both rows. And since the 2024 Sonata is a heavy refresh and not a full redesign, these attributes should carry forward.

The cabin in last year's Sonata looks nice, but upon closer inspection, the layout isn't quite as intuitive as, say, the new Honda Accord. And some rivals have nicer materials to boot. As with the exterior design, however, everything is set to change in 2024.

Images of the new Sonata's interior reveal a cabin that looks bright and airy with the ivory upholstery option, which pairs nicely with the new light-colored wood trim. Other enhancements include the transmission selector — which is now a stalk on the steering column, rather than buttons next to the cupholders — and a single curved display that houses the digital instrument panel and 12.3-inch touchscreen. All in all, the 2024 Sonata's passenger environment looks to be a little more luxurious and techy than its predecessor.

How's the Sonata's tech?

We've been asking for it for years, and the Hyundai deities have finally smiled upon us — every version of the Sonata will come with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. These wireless applications were standard on the entry-level Sonata, but if you opted for any other trim, you'd get a larger screen with navigation that required a wired connection for AA/AC playback. This decision to exorcise content from the more expensive trim levels has always confounded us, and we're happy that Hyundai has finally included wireless compatibility across the board. The 2024 Sonata also adds over-the-air update capability for the infotainment system, but it's the wireless phone connectivity that we're most excited about.

Edmunds says

The Hyundai Sonata gets a major makeover for 2024. Not only does the styling update provide a more cohesive and futuristic design, but the improved interior and wireless smartphone connectivity across the board should pay dividends day to day.

•1/25/2023 (updated 8/30/2023)

What is the Sonata?

The Sonata is Hyundai's midsize sedan. It offers a wide range of powertrain options, from a base turbocharged model to an effective and enjoyable hybrid to a performance-oriented N Line model with 290 horsepower. Despite its upscale looks and wide array of trims, we can't help but find fault with some of the interior fit and finish and the car's admittedly jittery ride quality.

Rumors have percolated online alternately that Hyundai could kill the Sonata amid flagging sales or give it another face-lift. We have no official word on the Sonata's fate, but if it does get the latter for 2024, we wouldn't be surprised to see its flashy, eyebrow-like daytime running lights replaced by a new, more squared-off face with the headlight clusters moved lower down into the front bumper area, along the lines of the new Kona, which was just redesigned for 2024.

If there's a refresh, we'd also expect the Sonata to come with a slew of tech updates that would include Hyundai's Highway Driving Assist 2 functionality, as well as its recently updated digital key and a Wi-Fi hotspot. All of these features recently made their way into the new Palisade, and since the Sonata is Hyundai's biggest sedan, we'd be surprised if they weren't available here too.
