Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the fuel economy still impresses passengers.

2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid review
Hyundai Sonata Hybrid: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
8.6/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid sits near the top of its class. Efficient in mixed driving; comfortable front seats on long trips. Rear headroom is tight for tall passengers and some features locked to upper trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $32,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.3 of 5 from 3 owners
Replaced an older Hyundai with this one. Big step up in fuel economy; I'd like a little more rear headroom.
The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.
