Hyundai Sonata
The Sonata midsize sedan emphasizes safety thanks to Hyundai’s SmartSense advanced driver assistance features. It also offers four different powertrains starting with a 2.5-litre engine rated at 191 horsepower. A turbocharged 1.6-litre unit (180 horsepower) drives the Sonata Sport, while a 2.5-litre turbo (290 horsepower) can be found in the Sonata N Line. For better fuel economy, consider the Sonata Hybrid, which impresses with a combined 5 L/100 km. AWD is missing on all models.
