Which Sonata does Edmunds recommend?
There's no bad pick here, but consider getting the Sonata Eco with its turbocharged 1.6-liter engine and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This combo is more engaging and fuel-efficient than the standard 2.4-liter engine. You don't really get any options to choose from with the Eco, but it comes equipped just like the SE model, which is to say very well indeed.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Hyundai Sonata Sedan
Driving
8.0Power in the top-of-the-line 2.0-liter turbo engine is plentiful for a midsize family sedan. The driving dynamics are spirited but not sporty. On the whole, it drives in a manner that the typical buyer will find satisfactory, but it doesn't change the game in any way.
Comfort
8.0The newly updated suspension is a big improvement over past Sonatas. There's the right dose of compliance to smooth out road imperfections, yet body roll isn't excessive — it's a good balance of compliance and control. The front seats deliver long-haul comfort and very effective ventilation.
Interior
8.0The cabin does the basics well, from accommodating various driver shapes to facilitating easy entry and exit. The placement of displays and controls is intuitive and easy to use. Even though this cabin isn't all-new, it still asks for fewer sacrifices than some newer sedans.
Utility
7.5There's little to complain about when it comes to the Sonata's everyday usability, which is aided by solid cargo capacity and no shortage of in-cabin storage options. It's as good as or better than what you'd get with the typical car in this class.
Technology
7.5While its infotainment isn't cutting-edge, the execution is sound and well-thought-out. The premium audio system might leave audiophiles wanting. It's decent but not exceptional. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard features, a nice attribute that's not universal in the segment.
