Overview
The 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a stylish midsize sedan that serves as the brand's largest hybrid sedan. It's positioned above the smaller Elantra Hybrid and Ioniq Hybrid.

The Sonata Hybrid comes with an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 52 mpg combined driving in the base Blue trim and 47 mpg combined in the higher trims. For comparison, the non-hybrid Sonata with the base 2.5-liter engine is rated at 32 mpg combined.
Besides its good looks and efficient powertrain, the Sonata Hybrid comes with many standard advanced driver aids and lots of optional tech features, including one very unique feature: blind-spot view monitor (camera views of blind spots on each side of the car). The hybrid sedan also has a large cabin, comfortable ride and an easy-to-use infotainment system. Put it all together and you've got a pretty compelling pick for a hybrid.

Great
8.1
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Driving experience: 0-60, engine & performance
7.5/10
How does the Sonata Hybrid drive? The Sonata Hybrid is adequate from a performance perspective. Acceleration feels good off the line but tapers off once you're rolling. Essentially, it feels zippy around town but may take some planning to pass cars at freeway speeds. In Edmunds' testing, our Sonata Hybrid test car covered 0-60 mph in 8.3 seconds. That's about as quick as the Camry Hybrid but a little slower than the Honda Accord Hybrid.
Around turns, the Sonata Hybrid feels balanced and controlled. It's also easy to drive around town. The six-speed automatic transmission is quicker to downshift than the continuously variable transmissions in the Accord Hybrid and Camry Hybrid. In general, the Sonata Hybrid drives a lot like a regular car, which could be a high point for some buyers. The brakes also feel pretty natural without any of the hybrid weirdness that can stem from blending regenerative and regular braking processes.

The brakes also feel pretty natural without any of the hybrid weirdness that can stem from blending regenerative and regular braking processes.
Comfort: seats, ease of use, and getting in & out
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Sonata Hybrid? The Sonata Hybrid is a pretty comfortable car, but it isn't perfect. The front seats have a nice shape to them, but we found the padding a bit stiff, which can reduce your comfort on long trips. The outboard rear seats are nice and cushy, but the middle seat is stiff and uncomfortable.
Ride comfort is a high point and strikes a good balance between being compliant and controlled. The Sonata Hybrid's suspension absorbs impacts well without being overly floaty or soft when you take on curvy roads. The climate control system blows strong and cold at its max and is very effective at regulating cabin temperature in auto mode.
Surprisingly, road and wind noise is higher than average. It's not bothersome or loud, but you know that it's there. There's some engine noise at freeway speeds as well.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The Sonata Hybrid's interior is intuitive to learn. The center stack controls are easily reachable for both driver and front passenger. The sharp and responsive 10.25-inch infotainment screen is also easy to read and use.
There's plenty of interior room for front occupants, and rear legroom is among the best in the segment. Most drivers will find that it is easy to settle into a comfortable driving position due to the decent range of adjustments in the seat and steering wheel. Visibility is good to the front and sides. But rear visibility is a little impeded because of the thick rear window pillars, sloping rear roofline and high rear deck.

But rear visibility is a little impeded because of the thick rear window pillars, sloping rear roofline and high rear deck.
In-cabin tech: infotainment & phone integration
8.5/10
How’s the tech? The Sonata Hybrid is loaded with tech and everything works pretty well. It leads the segment in infotainment screen size and response. It also has a segment-first solar panel roof that charges the hybrid battery when the car's moving or parked. Smartphone pairing and integration are excellent for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and they work with the wide-screen format. The screen is also great when using the available surround-view camera system while parking. The voice controls work well with natural speech commands for radio, navigation and phone.
The advanced driving aids suite is comprehensive, and the aids work well in concert. The warning sensors can be sensitive but never annoying. The instrument panel features unique sideview cameras when merging into the left or right lane.

Storage: cargo space & space for small items
8.5/10
How’s the storage? There's a good amount of storage in the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. It's easy to load things into the cargo area. The trunk is deep and broad, has a wide opening, and the hybrid battery doesn't intrude too much. Having rear-seat access levers in the cargo area is a plus.
Inside, there's plenty of storage to keep small items. The center console area alone has plenty of spaces for multiple phones, electronic passes and other items. The console itself is about 5.5 inches deep, and the cupholders are sizable enough for larger cups and bottles. As for installing child safety seats, there's plenty of room in the rear for even a rear-facing seat. The lower car seat anchors are somewhat buried in the upholstery, so installation can be a little tedious.

MPG: gas mileage & fuel economy
8.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Sonata Hybrid SEL, our test car, has an EPA estimate of 47 mpg (45 city/51 highway). That's right about what the other top-performing midsize hybrid sedans get. A trim-matching Camry XLE is rated at 46 mpg, while the Accord is at 47 mpg. We averaged 47.1 mpg in our test car during our mixed-driving evaluation route, which indicates the EPA's estimates seem to be spot-on.
Hyundai also offers an optional solar panel for the Sonata Hybrid. It covers the length of the roof between the windshield and the rear glass. It directly charges both the 12-volt battery and hybrid battery pack, and Hyundai says the solar panel can potentially power about 2 miles of extra driving per day. Toyota offered a solar roof on the Prius in the early part of the last decade, so it's not an all-new idea, but the Prius' panel could only power the climate control system.

Value: cost, features & warranty
8.5/10
Is the Sonata Hybrid a good value? The Sonata Hybrid delivers on Hyundai's strong value proposition, giving you a lot of features for your money. The Limited trim level, which is the model we tested, validates its top-level price with exclusive features such as a solar panel roof and a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Warranty coverage is also fantastic, as Hyundai provides a five-year/60,000-mile limited warranty and a 10-year/100,000-year powertrain warranty.
The interior and exterior build quality looks pretty good too. The assembly is precise, though Honda and Mazda manage to do interiors a bit nicer. Perhaps it's the dominant gray interior texturing that still looks a little cheap.

Wildcard
8/10
Whether you enjoy squeezing the most miles from every gallon of gasoline or having a hybrid that's enjoyable to drive on curvier roads, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a willing partner. It's big on visual appeal too. It looks sporty, sophisticated and futuristic at the same time. It's a head-turner in a fairly vanilla segment.
2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid trim level differences
The 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is available in three trim levels: Blue, SEL and Limited. All trims are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired to a hybrid system and a six-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid powertrain produces 192 horsepower. All-wheel drive is not offered on this front-wheel-drive sedan.
Which Sonata Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?
If having the most efficient trim (Blue) isn't a priority, then we recommend going for the SEL trim because it comes with the long list of standard features found in the base Blue trim and adds some additional comfort and tech features such as heated seats, a Bose audio system, and a wireless charging pad.

Absolutely Amazing Car for the money..
5 out of 5 starsMatt Clark, Realtor, 02/24/2022
2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)
I have a black limited with black leather, I researched every brand, BMW, Honda, Toyota, Kia, Lexus, Infinity, Mazda etc. This car has more tech than I could ever dream of for the price I paid. I actually said to dealers of high end luxury cars "Ok, so what can your $50, 60, 80, 100k car do that is so amazing?" I would put this car up against any luxury car and for the price and fuel … mileage, and warranty, I wouldn't take anything else. (now it is SLOW compared to a V8 Mercedes or BMW, but that car is NOT going to get 45-51 MPG. I love it, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Battery goes into deep sleep

2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)
I loved this car at first. We parked at the airport for long term and by the fifth day I could no longer communicate using Bluelink. I contacted Hyundai. They told me that Bluelink was suspended because the battery went into a deep sleep automatically after sitting for a few days. I was told by Hyundai support that I would need to have it serviced each time it sits for a few days. This … is happening to other owners of the same car. For us, when we arrived back at the airport, two weeks, our key fobs would not work. The car was dead. We had to manually unlock it which required disassembling the door handle. Tried to start it, no response. The battery had to be jumped. Hyundai is refusing to discuss this with me and offer a fix. On a Facebook forum, other new owners are having the same issue and are in the process of arbitration with the lemon law process in their state, as Hyundai has admitted that they designed it that way. For another owner on the forum their battery could not be jump started and they had to get car towed to dealer. My car only has 6000 miles and it is broken, other new owners are experiencing the same according to the Facebook forum. This is with a solar roof which should keep a trickle charge to keep battery from going into deep sleep.

2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)
Only had this vehicle for 2 weeks and purchased it because of its safety reviews and many safety features. I traded from a Jeep Renegade to this and this handles the road better than the Jeep. The issue I'm having is poor customer service from Hyundai and from the dealership. There's a noise that comes on at around 50mph plus my wife says it's from the front left-hand side I'm hearing it … from there as well as from the rear. The other issue is with Blue Link, Hyundai does not seem able to assist or maybe they are overwhelmed, also the dealership is unable to assist as they say it's too new and they don't know enough in order to assist. The dealership is Weisner in Conroe Texas, they appear to be very disorganized and not interested in any form of Customer Service.
Stylish and Luxurious

2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)
This is a great car with all the bells and whistles. I have a limited edition and has great technology that is pretty easy to use. The ride is really smooth and the performance is outstanding. And, it looks good while also being stingy on the gas. I'm currently getting over 45mpg and it's still going up. I did have to learn to drive it somewhat assertively to ensure the battery continues … to charge and you get the best fuel economy. I started driving it VERY conservatively thinking that would promote higher mpg but it didn't. I've only had the 2 months so I'm still getting used to everything but I love it thus far. I had a 2017 Sonata Hybrid Limited prior to this car and it was so dependable.
