The Hyundai Sonata Is the Premier Midsize Sedan

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.
