Overview

Written by automotive expert Josh Jacquot

3/9/2026

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.

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 Toyota's Camry is another well-known sedan, but the current iteration is getting a bit outdated.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.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Nick Yekikian

Good

7.9

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Hyundai Sonata on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Sonata drive? We tested the Sonata Hybrid. 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 a bit slower than hybrid versions of the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry we tested.

The Sonata's brakes stop smoothly and have suitable power for emergency situations. But although it's easy to drive around town, the Sonata feels lazy most of the time. It meanders along roads, the tires give up grip quickly, and the steering feels remote and exceptionally artificial. If a rewarding driving experience is a priority, the Sonata N Line will no doubt be more your thing.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Sonata? The Sonata Hybrid is a pretty comfortable car, but it isn't perfect. The front seats have a nice shape, 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 comfortable 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? There's plenty of interior room for front occupants, and rear legroom is similarly generous. Most drivers will find that it is easy to settle into a comfortable driving position thanks to the range of adjustments in the seat and steering wheel. The Sonata's center controls are intuitive to use and easy to reach. The same goes for the sharp and responsive 12.3-inch touchscreen and its on-screen menus and buttons.

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.

Buying Tips for the 2024 Hyundai Sonata for March

Here are some valuable tips for buying and negotiating the best deal on a 2024 Hyundai Sonata:

The Edmunds True Market Value for the 2024 Hyundai Sonata is significantly lower than the MSRP, giving you an 16% savings on average. This means you could save between $4,461 and $5,823 depending on the trim, so keep this in mind when negotiating with the dealer.
Consider looking into the Sonata N Line trim, where buyers are saving around 16.6% off the MSRP. This trim offers the most significant savings in terms of percentage off MSRP among all trims, making it a potential value opportunity.
If you are interested in a new 2024 Hyundai Sonata, there are 68 new cars available nationwide, but supply varies by trim. For example, there are only 1 new N Line model compared to 34 SEL models. More SEL models present means there might be more room for price negotiation on this trim.
When shopping for a used 2024 Sonata, you’ll find the lowest displayed dealer price starting at approximately $19,540 for the SEL trim. This could be a great price point for those looking for a used vehicle deal.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The Sonata is loaded with tech and everything works pretty well. It leads the class for standard infotainment screen size and responsiveness. Smartphone pairing, which works wirelessly for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, is quick and easy. 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 Sonata's collection of advanced driver aids 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

8/10

How’s the storage? The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid's 16.0 cu-ft of trunk (cargo) room is less than the Accord Hybrid's 16.7 but more than the Camry Hybrid's 15.1, and there's a good amount of practical storage. The trunk opening is wide, has a good liftover height, and there's not much of a drop into the cargo area. Thankfully, the hybrid battery doesn't intrude too much. The rear seat drop-down levers, which are conveniently located along the top outboard areas of the trunk, are great to have; the pass-through is broad, but has a hump that leads up into the cabin.

Inside, there are plenty of storage areas 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 LATCH lower anchors are well-labeled and easy to access. However, the upper part of the anchor is a little tight, so installation can be a little tedious. The upper tether locations are equally easy to find and access on the shelf underneath their marked plastic covers.

Fuel Economy

9/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Sonata Hybrid SEL, our test car, has an EPA estimate of 47 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That's right about what the other top-performing midsize hybrid sedans get. We reached just over 51 mpg in our test car during our mixed-driving evaluation route, which is even more impressive because most of our test cars slightly underperform compared to EPA numbers.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Sonata a good value? The Sonata delivers on Hyundai's strong value proposition, giving you a lot of features for your money. Warranty coverage is also fantastic, as Hyundai provides a five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper 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 Toyota manage to do interiors a bit nicer. The dominant gray interior texturing and the chintzy tan plastic used as a dashboard treatment cheapen the look and feel of the Sonata's interior significantly.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Sonata used to lead the midsize sedan class for style, but Honda and Toyota have recently built hybrids that are more enjoyable to drive. The Sonata maintains its comfort and tech-forward nature but loses out to the competition that have clearly moved the ball forward. It's still a solid option but no longer the pick of the litter when it comes to fun and enjoyment in this class.

2024 Hyundai Sonata trim level differences

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. Compare the 2024 Hyundai Sonata trim levels in-depth.

Which Sonata trim 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.

Smooth driving . Great city and highway driving. Safety systems like my wife’s Mercedes E350. Drivers assistance, emergency breaking, lane tracking. I drive 24,000 miles a year. The car comes with the standard 10 year warranty. I have driven German cars for the last 35 years.. It was time to buy a more reliable and less expensive expensive car. I couldn’t be happier.
