FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The Blue, SEL, and Limited are gasoline-electric hybrids; the SE, SEL Sport FWD, SEL Sport AWD, and N Line run on gasoline only. That split matters more than trim level alone — the hybrids return dramatically better fuel economy while the gas trims include the performance-focused N Line.

The Blue at $29,200 is hard to beat for cost-conscious buyers — it's a hybrid with 51 combined MPG, priced almost identically to the gas-only SEL Sport FWD ($29,150) that returns only 29 combined MPG. Unless you specifically want AWD or sport styling, the Blue's fuel savings make it the shrewder long-term buy.

Both share the same 191-hp I-4 and 8-speed automatic, but the AWD version adds all-wheel drive for $1,500 more ($30,650 vs. $29,150) and gives up a few MPG — 27 combined versus 29. If you're in a snowy climate, the AWD premium is reasonable; otherwise the FWD version is the more efficient choice.

The N Line's turbocharged I-4 produces 290 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque — significantly more than the 191 hp in the standard gas trims or the 192 hp in the hybrids — and pairs it with an 8-speed N Wet Dual-Clutch transmission rather than a conventional automatic. The trade-off is fuel economy: 27 combined MPG, on par with the SEL Sport AWD and well below any hybrid trim.

Yes — the Blue hybrid leads the lineup at 47 city / 56 highway / 51 combined MPG, and both the SEL and Limited hybrids return 44/51/47 MPG. Those figures put the Sonata hybrid squarely in contention with the Toyota Camry hybrid and well ahead of rivals like the Nissan Altima or Kia K5 on efficiency.

Both share the same hybrid powertrain, drivetrain, and 44/51/47 MPG ratings — the difference is content and price ($32,450 vs. $38,250). The Limited is the top-of-the-line trim, so shoppers paying the premium are buying features and finishes, not a different powertrain.
