Hyundai has stated multiple times their goal when producing vehicles is to maximize the value for the money you are getting when buying one of their vehicles, and the 2021 Sonata this year is no different. For years, the Sonata has offered family & travel goers a perfect solution for those needing safety, technology, and modern design wrapped up into one package. With sharp and prominent curvatures that wrap from the tail bumper all the way to the front fender & headlights, the Sonata features a ton of interesting, quirky features that make it truly standout for what’s offered in Hyundai’s package. A new tire setup and newly-introduced trim line have been shared with the public, offering consumers one of the best all-around sedans in the market.

Engine Performance & Street Statistics

During our testing, we find the 2021 Sonata lacks just a tad in the handling department, needing a little work on offering a smoother, more refined riding experience. However, the Sonata is still easily one of the fastest family sedans we have tested this year, with the N-Line expected to reach 0-60mph times in less than 6 seconds thanks to the new 290-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder & dual-clutch transmission being offered.

 

As far as we know, there are 8 models being introduced with the 2021 Sonata, ranking from low to high tier versions they go: SE, SEL, Blue Hybrid, SEL Plus, SEL Hybrid, N-Line, Limited, and finally, the Limited Hybrid. We believe the SEL Plus is the best route due to the affordable price range of $29,305 and a slew of features/parts that make it a solid choice, such as the 180-hp turbo-four cylinder engine, 19-inch rims, and enhanced all-season tires. The conventional automatic transmission even in the standard model offers a smooth eight-speed transitioning experience that also does a great job of fuel-saving.

Interior Features & Design

One great thing we love about the inside cabin and features that are included is it feels like you definitely get more than what you pay for. The materials and overall design theme provides a spacious yet complexly feature-packed interior while the cabin itself feels upscale & ergonomic. It only offers a mere 16 cubic feet of cargo space but we were able to fit up to 7-8 carrier bags, which should be more than enough for short trips and such.

 

The standard models feature an 8.0 inch multimedia display with more expensive models like the SEL & Limited models carrying a premium 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Leatherette and microsuede upholstery, back-seat air vents and USB ports are installed throughout the SEL Plus model. If you opt to go for the “Tech Package,” a 12-speaker Bose stereo, 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, panoramic sunroof, and a semi-autonomous drive mode are all included for an even better, premium driving experience.

Fuel Consumption & Economy

The powertrains throughout Hyundai’s 2021 Sedan are more than efficient enough to keep you from regularly visiting the gas station. In fact, the hybrid models such as the Blue Hybrid, are capable of reaching gas mileage of 50mpg in the city and 54mpg on the highway. The base 2.5-liter engine has estimates of up to 28/38 mpg city/highway while the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine sacrifices around 1 mpg in both categories.

Our Final Thought

Hyundai isn’t messing around when they say “value for your money.” The minimum price of the Sonata at $24,995 (SE model) is a solid affordable price point that rivals many competitors such as the Toyota Camry & Honda Accord. On the other hand, the higher end models such as the N-Line & Limited Hybrid reach up to $36,000 for a large list of advanced safety features, solid engine performance, and a clean, feature-packed interior. Regardless of what model you choose, the Sonata is a great choice for those who want a feature-packed ride delivering an upscale experience at a price that won’t break the bank.
