Used 2008 Hyundai Sonata for SaleNationwide

The 2008 Hyundai Sonata is a value leader, offering a long list of standard equipment.

The Hyundai Sonata is an elder of the mid-size sedan segment, but its smooth styling, excellent equipment, and strong value still make it a compelling option to consider. The 2008 model has been updated with new features for the SE trim level, a premium stereo as standard equipment for the Sonata Limited trim level, and standard SiriusXM satellite radio across the lineup—except for the GL manual base trim.

For the 2008 model year, the Sonata is offered in three trim levels: GL, GLS, and Limited. Two engines are available as well: a 162-horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 234-hp V6 engine. A five-speed manual transmission is standard for models equipped with the four-cylinder engine and a four-speed auto is available. V6 models come with a five-speed automatic transmission. All Sonata models use a front-wheel drive (FWD) drivetrain.

The Sonata is targeted at new-car buyers who are value-conscious and need a reliable sedan with a great warranty. It competes with the Nissan Altima, the Honda Accord, and the Toyota Camry, among others. It slots into the Hyundai lineup above the smaller and cheaper Elantra, but below the full-size Azera and recently launched Genesis luxury sedan.
