2026 Hyundai Sonata Trims
SEL Sport (Gas) — now with available AWD
The new SEL Sport replaces last year’s SEL/SEL Convenience structure and can be had in FWD or AWD. That means extra traction for slushy Norwood mornings and confidence merging onto I-95/Route 1.¹ ²
The entry gas model with the 2.5L (FWD), standard 12.3" touchscreen with wireless phone projection, and SmartSense driver assists—great for shoppers seeking the most affordable way into Sonata.¹
Sonata Hybrid — commuter calm, wallet-friendly mpg
EPA-estimated 44 city / 51 highway / 47 combined mpg helps tame stop-and-go on the Southeast Expressway and longer loops up to Boston.⁶ ⁷
N Line — the spicy one
A 290-hp 2.5L turbo with an 8-speed wet DCT and performance programming turns on-ramps into grins. Front-wheel drive only keeps it light and lively.¹ ⁸
