Hyundai offers three versions of the 2024 Sonata: the base SEL, which starts at $27,500; a hybrid SEL, which adds $3,300 to the base price; and the sportier N, which starts at $34,950. The Sonata got a major revamp for 2024, including the addition of a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, an infotainment screen of the same size, a 12-inch heads-up display, and a 12-speaker Bose sound system (depending on the trim and available options). Under the hood of the Sonata N is a 2.5-liter gas direct-injected turbocharged I4 that produces 290 horsepower and whips the 3,534-pound four-door sedan from 0-60 mph in five seconds flat. The SEL hybrid won’t pin you to your seat as firmly but delivers an impressive 44 mpg in the city and 51 mpg on the highway.
Upgrading to the $37,200 SEL Limited Hybrid allows drivers to sit and wait while the car pulls in and out of parking spaces. The Limited also comes with an eight-way power driver’s seat, heated steering wheel, and blind spot monitoring. Even the more affordable versions are well-equipped. The SEL has an eight-way power-adjustable heated driver seat, dual USB ports, and optional wireless charging. All Sonatas come with Hyundai’s industry-leading 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty.
