2026 Hyundai Sonata review
Hyundai Sonata: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
9.1/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Hyundai Sonata sits near the top of its class. Comfortable front seats on long trips; efficient in mixed driving. Road noise on coarse pavement and rear headroom is tight for tall passengers, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $29,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.
