Used 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a five-passenger midsize sedan that is available in three trim levels: Blue, SEL and Limited.

Blue
The base model is well appointed with feature highlights that include:

  • A 192-horsepower hybrid powertrain
  • Six-speed automatic transmission
  • LED headlights
  • Keyless ignition and entry
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Six-speaker audio system with satellite and HD radio
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

All Sonata Hybrids also come with:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Hyundai and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Rear-passenger reminder system
  • Drowsy driver monitor

SEL
The midtier trim adds several desirable features, such as:

  • Hands-free trunklid
  • Hyundai digital key functionality (an app that lets you use your Android phone as a key)
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Wireless device charging pad
  • 12-speaker Bose audio system

Limited
This top-of-the-line trim adds plenty of luxury, tech and safety features that include:

  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Roof-mounted solar panel
  • Leather upholstery
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Head-up display
  • 10.25-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Sonata Hybrid and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Highway Driving Assist (enhanced lane-keeping assist functionality)
  • Rear collision mitigation

Which Sonata Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

For most people, the base Blue trim will easily satisfy. But we suggest stepping up to the SEL trim for the best value of the Sonata Hybrid lineup. It's not much more than the base model and comes with a collection of features that make the Sonata Hybrid feel a bit more special.
