Hyundai Sonata

Price $24,749 – $43,999
Fuel consumption 5.3 – 10.4 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 77%(view ratings)
The Sonata falls into the mid-size sedan segment, which is without a doubt one of the most competitive on the market. To hang with the category big boys, the Sonata relies on modern, sophisticated lines and, especially, an equipment level that is tough to match for the price. This year, there's a rechargeable hybrid version that optimizes fuel consumption. It takes three hours to fully recharge on a 220-volt current and a little more than nine hours on a 110-volt current.
