2025 Hyundai Sonata Trims Comparison
Which 2025 Sonata trim does Edmunds recommend?
We think the Sonata SEL offers the best blend of features and value. It's also available with the base engine or a hybrid powertrain. The SEL Hybrid costs a little more, but its superior fuel economy should help you recoup the extra upfront costs after just a few years of ownership.
2025 Sonata trim level differences
The 2025 Hyundai Sonata is a midsize sedan available in six trims: SE, SEL, SEL Convenience, N Line, SEL Hybrid and Limited Hybrid. It's important to know how they differ since there are three available powertrains. The SE 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 front-wheel drive. Then there's the sporty N Line, with its turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder (290 horsepower, 311 lb-ft of torque). All-wheel drive is available, but only on the non-hybrid SEL.
