Grey 2025 Hyundai Sonata parked in a driveway.

These days, most vehicles that are sold are either SUVs or trucks. But what if you do not want one of those? Is it still possible to find a quality sedan? While many automakers have dropped these models from their lineups, Hyundai has not. In fact, this company continues to add new models into its fold, along with updating and improving tried and true models. The Sonata fits firmly into that latter category, as this sedan has now been around for decades. If you are looking for a fuel-efficient and nimble vehicle you will enjoy driving, you will want to check out the 2025 Sonata here at your Hyundai dealer near Pleasant Prairie. This guide goes over its features so you will see how it will meet all of your needs. 

Power and Performance

You will have three engines to pick from with the 2025 Sonata. The base engine is a 2.5L four-cylinder offering 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. If you want your vehicle with some more muscle, the N Line could be perfect. It comes with a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine that pumps out 290 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission. If you are after an eco-friendly model, you will want to consider the third option—a hybrid powertrain. This comes with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that combine to produce 192 hp. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available with the base engine if you want something that can deal with the bad weather that occasionally hits Pleasant Prairie.

Fuel Economy 

If you drive a lot, you will appreciate how thrifty the 2025 Sonata is when it comes to gas mileage. The base engine with front-wheel drive offers an EPA-estimated 28 MPG in the city and 38 MPG on the highway. With all-wheel drive, the numbers only drop slightly to 25 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. The N Line will give you 23 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway, which isn’t bad for a car with nearly 300 hp on tap. Finally, as you would expect, the Sonata Hybrid has terrific gas mileage, getting 44 MPG in the city and 51 MPG on the highway, as per EPA estimates. The three powertrain options let you dial in your preferred balance of power and efficiency to optimize your life behind the wheel.

Cabin Space

For an economical car, the Sonata has a sharp-looking and upscale cabin. While sedans do not always have a reputation for being big and spacious inside, the Hyundai Sonata has a large interior. The front row is extremely roomy, and the back seats also offer a generous amount of space, even for adults. Altogether, five people can fit nicely. The seats are comfortable and supportive and come with cloth upholstery. Manually adjustable front seats and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel are also standard. 

To enhance your comfort, you can add several amenities, including front sport seats with microfiber inserts, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, a rear-seat center armrest with cup holders, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. As for cargo space, the 2025 Sonata has a sizable trunk that contains 15.6 cu.ft. of space, and its wide opening makes loading and unloading simple. Plus, the rear seats fold down to give you more space for your stuff. On top of that, every trim has a hands-free Smart Trunk release that will open even if your hands are full and you can’t use the key fob. 

Tech Features

Hyundai always puts a priority on technology with its vehicles, and the 2025 Sonata will delight you in this area. The dashboard looks like one you would find in a luxury model, as it consists of a glass screen that houses two 12.3-inch digital displays, one for the driver gauges and the other for the infotainment system. This system is a joy to use, as it is intuitive and responds quickly to your inputs. There are also physical buttons to control the climate and stereo volume, and you can use voice recognition to operate it just by talking. Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a six-speaker stereo, HD and satellite radio, and USB ports in both rows. You will also get a 12-volt power outlet, Bluetooth, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start. 

Looking for more? Plenty can be added, such as a 12-speaker Bose audio system, a Wi-Fi hot spot, in-dash navigation, and ambient interior lighting. You can also get Hyundai’s Digital Key 2, which lets you replace your traditional keyfob with your smartphone and even share access to your car with friends and family. Hyundai Pay is also available, which makes it simple to pay for parking.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

Wherever you go in or around Pleasant Prairie, you will feel good knowing that your Hyundai Sonata is working to keep you and your passengers protected. All 2025 models come with Hyundai SmartSense, which is a suite of systems aimed at enhancing safety. This includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, which uses a camera and radar to detect cars and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. If a possible crash is detected, you will get an alert. If necessary, your Sonata can slow itself down and even bring itself to a full stop. With Blind-Spot Collision Warning, your blind spots will always be monitored. If a vehicle approaches from the side, you will get a warning. If you drift out of your lane without meaning to, Lane Keeping Assist is a feature that detects lane markings and will steer the vehicle back to where it needs to be. 

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is also included in the Sonata, and you will appreciate this when reversing out of a tight parking space. It will alert you if any cars are approaching from either side so you know when it is safe to back up. You will also get Safe Exit Warning, which will be very useful if you have children. It uses radar to detect passing cars when you are parked. If any approach, it will prevent the back doors from opening until they pass. Thanks to Driver Attention Warning, your Sonata can also keep close tabs on your driving. If it detects signs of fatigue, you will be sent a warning.

Upper trims come with even more safety systems, including Remote Smart Parking Assist, which allows your Sonata to pull into and out of parking spots even if you are standing outside of the vehicle. Simply use your keyfob to have your vehicle park itself in tight spaces. You can also get a Surround View Monitor that will give you a 360-degree bird’s eye view of your car and everything around it. That is a lot of features for such an affordable sedan.

Find Your Perfect Hyundai Sonata

Whatever you are looking for in your next car, chances are very good that the 2025 Sonata has it. This sedan is fun to drive, has lots of interior space, provides excellent fuel economy, and comes loaded with state-of-the-art features. If this sounds like your ideal vehicle, come down to Gurnee Hyundai to check out the Sonata in person. We will gladly show you every inch of this vehicle and answer any questions you may have. Best of all, you will be able to take this model out for a test drive to experience its excellent performance on the streets near Pleasant Prairie.

Looking for that perfect three-row SUV for hauling kids, friends, and family members around? The Hyundai Palisade is an excellent people hauler designed for the people and cargo you care about most! The great news is that you don’t have to travel far to find a Hyundai dealer near Pleasant Prairie. We carry all of the trims right here at our friendly dealership, and our team would love to help you decide which Palisade trim is right for your daily commute. For 2025, the Palisade is available in seven dynamic trims. Each one has a unique personality and offers distinct features, so let’s get to know this lineup and help you decide which Palisade will complement your drives.

#1 – SE

The SE is the starting trim, and it’s packed with features that Pleasant Prairie drivers will love. With seating for eight, it’s ready to transport a small baseball team or tons of friends. This starting trim has a bench seat in the second row and cloth upholstery throughout. The driver gets a six-way manual seat. 

Making extra room when you need it is a breeze, thanks to the sliding second-row seats with electric cargo-area releases. With these convenient split fold-flat seats, the SE is ready to adapt to your evolving cargo needs, making it perfect for running errands, going to sports practice, road-tripping, and more. 

The SE comes loaded with solid safety features, too. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection helps you avoid crashes with drivers, individuals on foot, and bicycles. Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist help you stay centered, while Driver Attention Warning notifies you if you need to refocus on the road. Parking Distance Warning – Reverse helps you squeeze into tight spots, and Blind-Spot Collision Warning lets you know when someone is in that hard-to-see area.

As for comfort, the standard Quiet Mode feature lets you mute the rear seat speakers. This helps children focus on homework or simply enjoy naptime. The reclining second-row seats also keep riders comfortable. All in all, the SE is a solid starting trim, and the other six trims build on it.

#2 – SEL

The SEL will build on the SE with a handful of convenience and comfort features we think busy individuals will appreciate. It gets you wireless device charging, so you can keep those smartphones powered on, even if you forget your USB cords at home. The driver enjoys an eight-way power adjustable seat for getting into that ideal position for long drives. Plus, you’ll grip a lovely leather-wrapped steering wheel. Acoustic-laminated front door glass creates an even quieter interior. Oh, and you get heated front seats to melt away the chill on winter days in Pleasant Prairie when the wind blows off the lake.

At the rear, you’ll find second-row captain’s chairs, so this trim seats seven passengers. If you have teenagers or often transport adults, they’ll appreciate these large, spacious seats and the generous aisle between them. At the very rear of the Palisade, you’ll get a hands-free smart liftgate with an adjustable height setting. This makes it easy to load up groceries, backpacks, and more when your hands are full.

#3 – XRT 

Like what the SEL offers, but looking for some head-turning, city-ready style? The XRT has a metropolitan style, perfect for those who commute into the city for work or recreation. It gets you exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels, a dark finish on the grille, and body-color door handles. The XRT also adds a couple of convenient features, like rear window shades, which are perfect for blocking out those late afternoon rays when riders are trying to nap or watch a movie on a laptop. A sunroof lets you bring in the sunlight when you want it. 

You’ll enjoy a couple of safety perks in this trim, too. The first is Parking Distance Warning – Forward system. The lower trims just had this technology in the rear, but with the XRT, you’ll have alerts in the front and back when you get too close to objects while parking. You’ll also get a Surround View Monitor with multiple camera angles for a comprehensive look around your vehicle. 

#4 – SEL Premium

We like to tell drivers that the SEL Premium is the mid-level luxury trim. If you want to remain in the wallet-friendly price range but also want to treat yourself, this is the trim. The front-seat passengers will be treated to ventilated seats, perfect for hot summer days in Pleasant Prairie. The driver also gets a heated steering wheel, so you’re ready for four-season weather. Plus, the driver seat and exterior mirrors enjoy a memory function. Whether your kids or the valet mess with the settings, the Palisade will remember your preferred positions. 

The second-row riders also get heated and ventilated seats in this trim, which is nearly unheard of at this price point. If you have finicky passengers who complain that the second-row HVAC controls aren’t enough, this might be their ideal trim. Third-row passengers even get USB-C outlets in this trim, so they can charge devices without bothering front-seat passengers to plug in for them. You’ll notice some additions to the safety features, too. The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system adds Junction Turning and Junction Crossing to help you avoid a collision when turning in an intersection. Evasive Steering Assist, Lane-Change Oncoming, and Lane-Change Side can help you avoid additional accident types.

#5 – Limited

Want a little more luxury in your life? Check out the Limited trim. You’ll upgrade to stunning leather-trimmed seats with a thigh cushion extension for the driver—perfect for preventing legs from falling asleep on long commutes. The heated seats extend all the way to the third row in this trim, so everyone will be comfortable on those cold winter days in Pleasant Prairie. 

This is a really cool feature of this trim: the Passenger Talk in-car intercom. It lets you project your voice through the rear seat speakers, making it easier to keep rowdy kids in line or simply ask the group where they want to stop for a snack. When everyone would prefer to listen to a podcast rather than have a conversation, the 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system can help with that. 

A couple of other perks make this trim a joy to be in. One is the dual-panel sunroof, bringing in uplifting natural light across the rear rows. The other is the 64-color ambient lighting system, helping you create an atmosphere that matches the mood (or helps put you in a better one). Rain-sensing windshield wipers are a nice touch, too, activating when those first drops start to fall.

#6 – Calligraphy

The Calligraphy is going to be the 2025 Palisade trim for you if you’re after some wow factor. Let’s start with the Ergo-Motion driver seat. It uses air pockets and massage functions to reduce muscle fatigue on long commutes. The microfiber headliner is another nice addition to create a more upscale cabin feel.

A digital rearview mirror helps you see footage from your rearview camera on your rearview mirror. However, the addition of the Remote Smart Parking Assist really steals the show here. It lets you direct your vehicle into a parking space when you’re not even in it. So you don’t have to squeeze into a barely-open car door to get in and out of your SUV in a tight spot. 

#7 – Calligraphy Night

The Calligraphy Night is for drivers who love the cool and mysterious look of a blacked-out vehicle. It gets you gloss black bumpers, a dark chrome grille, black roof rails, and even a dark aluminum console cover inside. Do you love everything that the Calligraphy has to offer, but want something that will turn heads? Check out this trim.
