2026 Hyundai SONATA: Where High Tech Meets High Fashion

Premium features at affordable prices

The Hyundai SONATA offers eye-catching style and interior tech at a starting MSRP of just $27,300[1]. It proves you don't have to pay premium prices to enjoy premium features. Add in America's Best Warranty[2] and 24/7 roadside assistance[3] for the first five years, and the SONATA is more than an affordable option — it's peace of mind that lasts well beyond the initial purchase.

Safety tech helps make parking and driving easier and safer

The SONATA's available driver-assistance features are designed to help prevent collisions before they happen. When changing lanes, the available Blind-Spot View Monitor[4] displays a live video of your blind spot in the digital gauge cluster when the turn signal is activated. The available Surround View Monitor[5] makes parking easier with a 360-degree top-down view, and the standard Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist[6] watches for oncoming vehicles behind you and can apply the brakes if necessary.



These tools can help make daily driving safer and less stressful, and in some cases are features typically reserved for luxury vehicles.

A warranty never looked so good

Hyundai offers America’s Best Warranty[2], giving drivers confidence long after they've left the lot. That coverage includes a 5-year or 60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, and 5 years of 24/7 roadside assistance.

Convenience without compromises


Hyundai doesn't skimp on tech for the SONATA. Even the base SONATA comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™[7]. Move up to the SEL Convenience trim, and you'll get wireless device charging, built-in navigation[8], and Hyundai's Digital Key 2[9], which allows you to lock, unlock, and start your SONATA with a compatible smartphone or smartwatch.

The Hyundai SONATA has stand-out looks inside and out

The SONATA has the kind of sleek styling that makes people look twice. The base SE trim, which debuted in 2025 with a lower starting price than previous models, looks and feels near-luxury. Inside, the interior is just as elevated. Gas-powered models offer premium cloth in either black or gray, which pair well with the black accents on the dashboard, doors, and steering wheel for either a luxe-looking black-on-black interior or a bold black-and-gray contrast.



The N Line trim takes a sportier approach with unique red stitching and microfiber inserts, while the Limited Hybrid trim introduces leather seating surfaces, including an available camel brown option with matching door trim and dashboard accents.





Trim-specific wheels that turn heads


Each SONATA trim comes with a unique wheel design that enhances the car's profile and reinforces its identity. Wheel sizes range from 16 to 19 inches, depending on the trim. The SE trim has silver spokes with etched detailing, and the SEL trim adds a black-and-silver floral-like "petal" pattern. The SEL Convenience trim sports a geometric pentagon with triangle accents, and hybrid models opt for a multi-spoked spiral design. The N Line's bold, trim-specific wheels have five double spokes, and the center is stamped with the "N" badge.

Dual displays for technology that wows

The SONATA offers an available dual panoramic display with over 2 feet of screen space. This consists of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen that sit side by side in a continuous panel for a total of 24.6 inches. The display is tilted toward the driver for easier visibility, reduced distraction, and easy-to-use functionality.



With its style, advanced safety features and tech, and America’s Best Warranty[2], the Hyundai SONATA offers far more than you'd expect at this price point. It's a great value and a smart choice.
