2021 Hyundai Sonata

SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE

Overview

One thing is for certain, the mid-size sedan segment is loaded with vehicles. While perennial favorites like the Camry and Accord continue with more of the same, the 2021 Hyundai Sonata breaks the mold and redefines what is possible. 

In its third generation, the Sonata is enhanced by overall improvements to safety, design, efficiency, and driving performance. Let's take a closer look at the Hyundai Sonata — the iconic four-door coupe slated to rewrite every law of attraction. 

The Perfect Ride For…

Everyone—especially those who want the sportiness of a coupe with the space of a sedan. Families love the Sonata because of the ample amounts of space coupled with a world-class suite of safety and driver assistance technologies. From the Remote Smart Parking Assist to the Available Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, this sedan is poised to be the safest and most technologically inclined vehicle you've ever own. Simply put, the Hyundai Sonata offers something for everyone and is an unmistakable value.  

Drive and Handling

When you get behind the wheel of the Hyundai Sonata you get a one-of-a-kind driving experience. From the moment you enter the vehicle, you'll recognize a difference. For starters, the available NFC Digital Key allows you to use your smartphone to lock, unlock, and start the vehicle. Best of all, you can share this digital key with other drivers and grant certain rights. 

Once you're behind the wheel, you'll enjoy a robust, front-wheel drive experience and remarkable handling. You can choose from two super-efficient engines:

• A standard 2.5L GDI DOHC 16-Valve four-cylinder that pumps out 191 HP and 181 lb.-ft. of torque. 
• An available 1.6L Turbo-GDI DOHC 16-Valve four-cylinder engine that delivers 180 HP and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. 

Regardless of the engine, the Sonata's 8-speed automatic transmission effectively delivers prompt acceleration and outstanding top-end speed. It offers an innovative Shift-by-Wire feature that allows you to seamlessly change gears with nothing more than the touch of a button. 

And as you're driving, the Smart High-Beam headlights will instinctively dim as vehicles approach and activate once the vehicle has passed. The 2021 Sonata is loaded with a full range of performance features designed to help you enjoy every mile and every turn. 

Key Features

Remote Smart Parking Assist

We've all done it — overlooked a tight parking spot due to the stress of maneuvering your vehicle into the withering confines. Fortunately, the Sonata uses cutting-edge solutions to detect parking spaces and will semi-autonomously park your vehicle in virtually any spot. Best of all, you can use this system — even if you're not inside. And when you're ready to go, this system can retrieve your vehicle for you. 

Blue Link Connected Car Service

Blue Link isn't just one feature — it's a suite of solutions designed to give you more control of your vehicle. Elevating telematics to new heights, the new Blue Link now allows you to personalize your remote start with total control over your ventilated and heated seat settings. 

Highway Driving Assist

Highway Driving Assist is a state-of-the-art technology designed to help you stay safer. Highway Driving Assist employs Smart Cruise Control and Lane Follow Assist to automatically keep your vehicle centered in the right lane and moving with the flow of traffic. This technology works to reduce the fatigue associated with stop-and-go traffic as well as long commutes. 

Alternative Options

For a more spacious option, take a look at the Hyundai Palisade. This full-size SUV offers on and off-road capability, along with the amazing value the automaker is known for. For something that falls right in the middle, the modern Hyundai Kona checks all the boxes. Its compact size and spacious interior make it easy to navigate even when you need to bring along the whole family and some cargo.
