Trims

The 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid comes in three trims, which is just enough to offer variety while not overwhelming consumers with too many choices. The basic Blue trim has all the essential comfort features while keeping things simple and boasts a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $27,950. If you’re looking for more advanced features, consider the SEL with an MSRP of $31,300. The Limited is the highest trim level and delves into luxury territory with its MSRP of $36,250.

Engine

All 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid trims feature a 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine that works with a 39 kW permanent magnet high-power density motor and 270-volt lithium battery. The system produces an impressive 192 combined horsepower and plenty of torque to give you the power you need. On its own, the electric power output is 51 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque.

Fuel Efficiency

The Blue trim has excellent fuel efficiency, as it gets 50 mpg in the city and 54 on the highway for a combined EPA estimate of 54 mpg. The fuel efficiencies of the SEL and Limited trims are comparable, as these models get 45 mpg in the city and 51 on the highway for a combined EPA estimate of 47 mpg.

The model’s good fuel efficiency largely stems from the advanced powertrain design, featuring an active airflap and rear spoiler. The sleek exterior also allows for a .24 drag coefficient that helps prioritize fuel economy.

Performance

The 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid only offers front-wheel drive, so you might want to look elsewhere if you’re in the market for all-wheel drive. Six-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC technology and paddle shifters allow for a smooth driving experience. You’ll also appreciate the ability to customize your ride with Drive Mode Select.

As for the suspension and chassis, you can expect a unibody construction, a front suspension with MacPherson struts and coil springs, and an independent multilink rear suspension. All of the features help create exciting rides, as does the Motor-Driven Power Steering system. Additionally, a curb-to-curb turning diameter of 35.9 feet makes it easy to navigate in smaller spaces.

Exterior

The 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid’s goal of balancing performance and fuel efficiency is obvious as soon as you look at the vehicle. Despite being a four-door sedan, the car has more of a coupe-like design. The carefully crafted proportions result in a seductive silhouette. The aggressive exterior also has a sporty and aerodynamic appearance you can customize with color options like:

• Onyx Black.
• Hampton Gray.
• Ultimate Red.
• Curated Silver.
• Portofino Gray.
• Serenity White.
• Carbon Blue.

Interior

The Blue and SEL trims come with either a black or dark gray interior with cloth seats. If you upgrade to the Limited trim, a dark gray/camel interior becomes an additional interior option with leather instead of cloth seating. The interior cabin seats five people and has a passenger volume of 104.4 cubic feet. The total interior volume is 120.4 cubic feet that you can take advantage of by leveraging the 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback. As for the trunk, it provides a respectable 16 cubic feet of storage space.

Comfort

Front passengers enjoy 40 inches of headroom, 46.1 inches of legroom, and 57.9 inches of shoulder room. Back passengers are also comfortable thanks to 38.4 inches of headroom, 34.8 inches of legroom, and 56.1 inches of shoulder room. Advanced features like heated and ventilated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a heated steering wheel, and a power eight-way adjustable driver seat optimize the driver’s experience. Additionally, you can take advantage of the Integrated Memory System to save your driver seat and side mirror preferences.

Everyone else stays comfortable thanks to air conditioning and dual automatic temperature control. Automatic passenger windows are available on the higher trims, while automatic driver windows are standard. If you want to enjoy the outside air in another way, opt for the Limited trim to get a panoramic sunroof. You’ll also appreciate the available dual USB charge ports, wireless device charging, and ambient and LED interior lighting.

Entertainment and Technology

All 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid trims come with HD radio, SiriusXM, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. The Blue has an 8-inch touch-screen audio display, while the higher trims come with a 10.25-inch navigation touch-screen display.
