2022 Hyundai Sonata

What Is the 2022 Hyundai Sonata?

The front-wheel-drive Hyundai Sonata is a sleek, modern, five-seat mid-size sedan. Engine choices include a standard 191-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder; an available 180-hp, turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder; and a 290-hp, turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the N Line trim level. A conventional eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, while the 290-hp four-cylinder gets an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. The Sonata offers 19.8 cubic feet of trunk space, according to Cars.com’s cargo measurements.

A gas-electric hybrid powertrain goes in the Sonata Hybrid, which is EPA-rated up to 52 mpg combined. Sonata competitors include the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry.

What’s New on the 2022 Hyundai Sonata?

There’s a new Night Edition for the performance-oriented N Line trim that features a unique spoiler and special wheels and badges, but there are no other significant changes.

Should I Buy the 2022 Hyundai Sonata?

The Sonata is a spacious and well-equipped family sedan with distinctive styling and more available high-tech features than some competitors. The car’s push-button console gear selector doesn’t free up any extra storage space, however, and we wish the 10.25-inch touchscreen had a tuning knob.
