2017 Hyundai Sonata Used Price Estimates

We might be living in an era where crossover SUVs have become the new family vehicle of choice, but that doesn't mean you should overlook excellent midsize sedans like the 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The Sonata earned our "A"rating two years ago upon its redesign and it still holds up today.

For 2017, the Sonata remains unchanged, save for a slight reshuffle of some standard and optional features. And it's fine that Hyundai has left the Sonata well enough alone. The cabin is still cavernous and comfortable, with loads of room in the backseat for when you need to ferry the kids, their friends or adult friends. The Sonata also drives confidently, with a smooth ride quality and precise control that avoids that floaty big-sedan feel out on the highway.

You also get plenty of features for your money. Even if you pick the base model, you're not going to feel as if you're getting the short end of the stick, while the top-of-the-line Limited 2.0T has luxury-car levels of equipment.

The Sonata's technology features are impressive, from available driver safety aids like blind-spot monitoring and automatic emergency braking to large, crisp touchscreen displays for navigation and entertainment functions.

Remember, however, that the midsize sedan segment is full of strong competitors. The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are the long-running standard-bearers in this class for near flawless value and execution. But there are other excellent choices as well, including the handsome and well-rounded Ford Fusion, the stylish Mazda 6, the sporty Nissan Altima. and the Chevrolet Malibu. Despite this formidable company, the Sonata offers plenty of comfort, performance and value to make it a standout.

Standard safety features on the 2017 Hyundai Sonata include antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and a driver knee airbag.

All Sonatas except the base model also come with a rearview camera and Blue Link, Hyundai's emergency telematics system (includes roadside assistance, crash response, remote door lock control and monitoring features for parents with teenage drivers that include speed, geo-fencing and curfew limits).

Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on the Limited and Limited 2.0T models. Lane departure warning, automatic forward collision emergency braking and rear park assist are standard on the Limited 2.0T, optional on the Limited.

In ' simulated panic-stop testing from 60 mph, the Sonata Sport 2.0T stopped in 125 feet, an acceptable distance for midsize family sedans. The Eco and Sport models did the job in an even more impressive 119 feet.

In government crash testing, the Sonata earned a perfect five-star overall rating, with five stars overall for its performance in frontal- and side-impact crash tests. In crash testing conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Sonata earned the top rating of "Good" in the moderate-overlap frontal-offset impact test and a second-best "Acceptable" in the small-overlap frontal-offset impact test. The Sonata posted a "Good" rating for the remaining side-impact, roof-strength and whiplash protection (seats and head restraints) tests.

The 2017 Hyundai Sonata is a midsize sedan available in Base, SE, Sport, Eco, Limited, Sport 2.0T and Limited 2.0T trim levels. The Sonata Hybrid is reviewed separately.

Standard features on the base model include 16-inch alloy wheels, a rear lip spoiler, air-conditioning, cruise control, full power accessories, heated mirrors, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a 60/40 split-folding seatback. Technology features include Bluetooth connectivity, a CD player, satellite radio, a USB port and an auxiliary audio input.

Moving up to the SE adds automatic headlights, a rearview camera, a 7-inch touchscreen display, the Blue Link telematics system (with smartphone integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay) and Bluetooth audio streaming.

The Sport and Eco trims add LED daytime running lights, side mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators, simulated leather cabin trim and an eight-way power driver seat (with power lumbar). The Eco differs with a special fuel-economy-focused engine, while the Sport gets 17-inch alloy wheels, dual exhausts with chrome tips and unique body styling tweaks.

A Value Edition package for the Sonata Sport bundles a sunroof, keyless entry and ignition, a hands-free remote opening trunk, partial leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.

The Limited includes the Sport's features, but trades the sporty chrome and carbon fiber styling accents for a more refined look. It also adds unique 17-inch alloy wheels, LED taillights, leather upholstery, wood grain trim, a six-way power passenger seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, rear seat vents, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Driver aids include blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert systems.

The Sport 2.0T adds a more powerful engine, 18-inch wheels, sport-tuned suspension and steering, a rear diffuser with quad exhaust tips, sport seats, aluminum pedals, a flat-bottom sport steering wheel and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

The range-topping Limited 2.0T includes unique 18-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, adaptive xenon headlights, automatic high-beams, rear parking sensors, a lane departure warning system, an automatic pre-collision braking system, automatic engine stop-start, driver memory settings, a heated steering wheel, rear window sunshades, ventilated front seats, an 8-inch touchscreen display, a premium Infinity nine-speaker audio system and technology features from the Limited trim and the Sport's Tech package.

Many of the features from the Limited 2.0T are available as part of options packages on the lower trims.

All Sonatas are front-wheel drive, and all engines except the Eco are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

A 2.4-liter four-cylinder rated at 185 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque powers the base, SE, Sport and Limited models. At the test track, a Sonata Sport sprinted from zero to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds, an average result for this class.

The 2.4-liter four-cylinder Sonata returns an EPA-estimated 29 mpg combined (25 mpg city/36 mpg highway).

The 2.0T models come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 245 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. We recorded zero-to-60-mph acceleration in 8.3 seconds, a poor result considering its power advantage over the standard engine.

On the other hand, the 2.0T models return an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined (22 city/31 highway), and we managed to earn an impressive 28 mpg on our diverse 120-mile evaluation route.

The Eco features a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 178 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard.

Oddly, the Eco recorded an impressive 7.5-second zero-to-60-mph run, beating the 2.0T model by almost a full second. The EPA says the Eco will achieve 31 mpg combined (28 city/36 highway). We validated those figures with our own 32-mpg trip on the evaluation route.

One of the most striking characteristics of the 2017 Hyundai Sonata is the hushed way it goes down the road. This is a seriously quiet car. Dispatching road irregularities with smooth damping is this sedan's biggest strength, with well-controlled ride quality that's never harsh, regardless of trim.

Though the Sonata feels balanced in quick turns, it's not a very engaging driving experience. Even the Sport 2.0T trim isn't very thrilling, and it's especially hard to understand the disappointing engine performance given its impressive power output.

Oddly enough, the Eco model provides the most excitement. The smaller engine packs more punch than the base 2.4-liter engine and quicker acceleration than the underperforming turbocharged 2.0T. The Eco is actually our pick of the trio.

The Sonata SE's interior is fairly basic, but materials and build quality are on par with the class. The higher trim levels get plusher door trim and additional cabin accents for a more premium feel. Not surprisingly, the Limited trim, with its available two-tone color schemes and convincing wood grain trim, is particularly appealing. The Sport 2.0T features more thickly bolstered sport seats for added lateral support during spirited maneuvers.

What the interior design lacks in flash, however, it makes up for in clean, logical layout and controls. We appreciate dedicated buttons for primary functions like navigation, phone, radio and media, rather than burying those functions in a touchscreen menu system.

The 7-inch standard touchscreen is large enough to make selecting functions easy and fairly free of distraction while in motion, while the attractive 8-inch screen used with the navigation system features uncluttered, clearly labeled maps with easily readable text and crisp graphics.

The Sonata has more than ample passenger room for four adults. The front seats are well padded, supportive, and perfect for long-distance cruising. There's slightly less rear passenger room than some competitors, but only larger than average adults will notice.

At 16.3 cubic feet, the trunk is a little more generous than average for this segment, and the standard 60/40 split-folding rear seat is at the ready to add more cargo capacity should the need arise. Models equipped with the hands-free "smart" trunk opener automatically pop the trunk if the person with the key fob stands behind the car for more than three seconds.

A 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with 185 horsepower anchors the Sonata lineup as standard equipment. Paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission, it offers satisfying acceleration and decent fuel economy. But for those who want more, there are two choices. The "more power" crowd will gravitate to the 245-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, Hyundai's answer to the V6 engines from Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Those wanting "more economy" will want one of the two hybrid models, either the standard hybrid or the plug-in, the latter with up to 27 miles of EV-only range. The engine-choice Venn diagram overlaps on the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine in the Eco model, which offers solid horsepower, good fuel economy, and an unfortunately jerky-feeling 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Overall, the Sonata's comfortable and quiet regardless of what model you pick, and Hyundai has finally gotten steering feel down to where it's actually pretty good for this class.

VARIETY If variety is the spice of life, then the 2017 Hyundai Sonata lineup is an Indian buffet at lunchtime. Whether you want a budget-conscious 4-door, sporty-feeling family car, or a fuel-averse commuter, the Hyundai Sonata has you covered with its plethora of different models. APPLE CARPLAY AND ANDROID AUTO Even though both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are rapidly becoming the rule and not the exception, they're still both among our favorite features wherever they appear. The technology fully integrates your Android or iPhone into your car's infotainment system, giving you the same functionality that you're used to.

If the worst thing you can say about a car's interior is that it's not exciting enough, chances are it's a solid place to be. All Sonata models get a 7-inch touch-screen audio system that includes HD Radio, Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through the USB port, plus Hyundai's Blue Link telecommunications suite. While Limited models get leather and wood trim, every Sonata is a comfortable and quiet place to drive. Everything works well and is logically placed, and there are clever touches as well, like the intermittent-wiper speed shown on the 4.2-inch color display between the gauges.

Like the interior, about the worst thing you can say about the 2017 Sonata exterior is that it's a little bland. However, more "conservatively handsome" designs like the current Sonata tend to look fresh longer than more outré styling, such as on the previous Sonata. Still, it's not totally generic. We like the chrome line extending from the headlights down the flanks of the car, and Hybrid and Eco models benefit from unique trim designed to enhance aerodynamics and improve fuel economy.

Even the base-model Sonata SE comes nicely equipped. There are automatic headlights, an infotainment system with a 7-inch touch screen that includes USB and Bluetooth smartphone integration, plus a rearview camera. These add to features such as air conditioning, power windows with pinch protection, power locks, a driver’s blind-spot mirror, stability and traction control, and cloth seats. Other standard features include a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, and a 60/40-split fold-down rear seatback. Safety equipment comprises seven airbags, including a driver's knee airbag, plus standard stability control and electronic brake assist.

The best way to add features to a 2017 Sonata is to climb the model ladder, from SE to Sport to Limited. Sport adds a power driver's seat, plus an available sunroof and more. It also opens you up to the turbocharged engine, as does the Limited. Other available features include a 10-speaker Infinity sound system, smart cruise control with stop/start capability, automatic high beams, ventilated front seats and a panoramic tilt/slide sunroof. A particularly useful option is the hands-free trunk release; if you have the key with you and stand near the trunk, it automatically opens after a few seconds.

There are five drivetrain choices in the 2017 Hyundai Sonata, all of them 4-cylinder units. The standard 185-horsepower 2.4-liter inline-4 is more than adequate. If you need extra oomph, the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 and its 245 horsepower should suffice. The Sonata Eco's 1.6-liter turbo puts out less horsepower (177) but more torque (195 lb-ft) than the standard 2.4, and is available only with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic in the Sonata Eco. The two hybrid models -- regular and plug-in -- share a 154-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, but use different electric motors. The standard 2.4-liter engine is quiet, refined and plenty fuel-efficient, while the 7-speed automatic on the Eco makes this fuel-sipper surprisingly quick. Some 2017 models show slightly lower fuel-economy numbers this year, due to changes in EPA testing. 2.4-liter inline-4 (SE, Sport and Limited) 185 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 178 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/36 mpg (SE), 25/35 mpg (Sport, Limited) 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 (Sport 2.0T) 245 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 260 lb-ft of torque @ 1,350-4,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 22/31 mpg, 21/30 mpg (Limited) 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 (Eco) 177 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm 195 lb-ft of torque @ 1,500-4,500 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 28/36 mpg (7-speed automatic) 2.0-liter inline-4 + electric motor (Hybrid) 154 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 140 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm 38-kilowatt electric motor 51 horsepower @ 1,770-2,000 rpm 151 lb-ft of torque @ 0-1,770 rpm 193 net horsepower @ 6,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 38/43 mpg (Hybrid), 39/45 mpg (Hybrid SE) 2.0-liter inline-4 + electric motor (Plug-in Hybrid) 154 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 140 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm 50-kilowatt electric motor 67 horsepower @ 2,330-3,300 rpm 151 lb-ft of torque @ 0-1,770 rpm 202 net horsepower @ 6,000 rpm EPA fuel economy: 39 mpg (city/highway combined), 99 mpge Electric-only range (estimated): 27 miles Note: Due to changes in EPA testing to more effectively reflect real-world conditions, some 2017 models show slightly lower fuel-economy scores than their 2016 versions.

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of a 2017 Hyundai Sonata is about $ 22,800, including the $ 835 destination charge. The Eco is next on the ladder, starting just under $ 24,000, while the Sonata Sport is just over that figure. The Limited starts at the $ 28,000 mark. If you want a turbo you'll add $ 3,200 to the Sport, or more than $ 6,000 to the Limited, although the turbo adds a lot of standard equipment on the latter. Final hybrid prices haven't been finalized, but they'll likely stay close to last year's numbers, a little below $ 27,000 for the regular hybrid, and about $ 35,500 for the plug-in hybrid. Those prices are in line with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, with a slight price advantage overall. Check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others are paying in your area, and note that the Sonata's projected mid-pack resale value has been improving.
