Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on powertrain: the base SE returns 28 city/38 highway mpg, the turbocharged N Line drops to 23/32, and the hybrid trims range from 44/51 mpg (SEL, Limited) up to 47/56 mpg on the Blue trim.

Yes, but only on the SEL Sport AWD trim with the 191-hp gas engine; every other configuration, including all hybrids, is front-wheel drive only.

All 2026 Sonata trims, gas and hybrid alike, share a 15.6 cu ft trunk, so cargo capacity doesn't change based on which engine you choose.

The Sonata's sibling K5 shares its platform and hybrid tech, while Toyota's Camry and Honda's Accord also offer hybrid variants; Sonata differentiates with the 290-hp N Line's turbo I-4 and dual-clutch transmission, a performance tier those rivals' mainstream trims don't match at this price point.

Both use the same 191-hp/181 lb-ft 2.5L I-4 and 8-speed automatic, but SEL Sport FWD starts at $29,150 versus the SE's $27,450, and SEL Sport is also available with AWD for $30,650.

The hybrid Blue trim starts at $29,200, just $1,750 above the base gas SE, making it a relatively low-cost way to jump from 32 mpg combined to 51 mpg combined.
