New Sonata Hybrid by Hyundai

The hybrid - gorgeously reimagined

In this world dominated by SUVs of all sizes, many people still prefer a stylish and high-tech four-door car. The design team at Hyundai had a next generation of car shopper in mind when they rethought the stunning Sonata Hybrid and equipped it with fantastic hybrid technology and fabulous styling and offered it at a price that will not break one’s budget. This new hybrid is a standout among its peers, with a low drag coefficient, grille with active air flaps, a rear spoiler, aerodynamic alloy wheels, and Hyundai Motor’s Solar Roof System that recharges the hybrid battery while preventing unnecessary battery discharge when the car is off.

Our Sonata Hybrid was dropped off at the start of a wet week in NYC and came equipped with a Smartstream G2.0 GDi HEV engine and a 6-speed hybrid automatic transmission. The car’s electric motor delivers a power output of 39 kW (51 HP) and maximum torque of 151 lb.-ft. of torque. Combined system power output is 192 horsepower and EPA estimated fuel economy numbers are 50 city driving, 54 highway travel, and 52 combined for the Blue trim but we got about a mile less do city driving.

roughly 680 miles of range

An Affordable Marriage Of Style & Tech

When talking tech our Sonata Hybrid had the best features including an electric parking brake, hands-free smart trunk, Qi high-speed wireless smartphone charging pad with cooling fan, standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, text-to-speech via Bluetooth®, heated and ventilated front seats and split-folding rear seats, but it was the optional smartphone-based Hyundai Digital Key that made us smile. Digital Key uses a dedicated mobile app, Near Field Communication and Bluetooth Low Energy technology to allow your new Sonata to be unlocked, started and driven without a physical key, via a smartphone. Sonata’s Digital Key also allows secure sharing of virtual keys with family and friends. Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.
