Why it stands out

The 2017 Hyundai Sonata stands out as a midsize sedan that aimed to deliver a lot of car for the money. In its seventh generation, it was positioned as a tech-forward and efficient sedan with an affordable price tag, and it came with generous standard equipment. For 2017, the Sonata used the 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine making 185 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, while the 2.0T and 2.0T Ultimate trims used a turbocharged 2.5-litre four with 245 horsepower and 260 pound-feet. Both used a conventional six-speed automatic and were front-wheel drive.

It also offered a strong mix of comfort and technology for the class. In 2017, standard equipment included a tiny 3.5-inch LCD screen, alloy wheels, Bluetooth, and a tilt-and-telescope wheel, while optional features could include leather upholstery, navigation, blind spot monitoring, and more. The Sonata’s systems and structure earned it a Top Safety Pick designation from IIHS from 2011 to 2013, and later in the model run the optional 8-inch touchscreen offered Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Hyundai also improved the interior quality and materials, making it feel more expensive and premium than its price tag suggested.

At the same time, the 2017 Sonata has two important drawbacks that shoppers should keep in mind. Consumer Reports gives the 2017 and 2018 models well below-average reliability ratings, with issues centred around excessive oil consumption and premature wear in the “Theta II” engine family. It is also vulnerable to theft, which can mean high insurance premiums and extra precautions. Even so, its affordable pricing, roomy cabin, and long list of features make it appealing to buyers who want a well-equipped used sedan without spending a lot.
