What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Hyundai Sonata?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Preferred trim gives you LED lighting, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an 8-inch touchscreen, and adaptive cruise control, while higher trims add a panoramic sunroof, leather, ventilated front seats, a Bose audio system, and larger displays. The N Line stands apart with sportier styling, unique wheels, and performance-focused hardware.
• Powertrain: The Sonata starts with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder, moves to a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder in Sport and Luxury, and tops out with the N Line’s turbocharged 2.5-litre engine, wet dual-clutch automatic transmission, sport suspension, and tuned exhaust. All versions are front-wheel drive.
• Safety package: Every 2022 Sonata includes forward collision avoidance assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, driver-attention warning, automatic high beams, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic alert, Rear Occupant Alert, and Safe Exit Warning. Highway Driving Assist lane-centring assistance and a blind-spot view monitor are standard on N Line and Ultimate Hybrid.
• Infotainment: Base models use an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while N Line and Ultimate Hybrid trims upgrade to a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless charging, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: NRCan combined fuel consumption ranges from 7.7 L/100 km on lower trims to 8.8 L/100 km on the N Line, and the test vehicle averaged 7.7 L/100 km.

Which 2022 Hyundai Sonata trim should I buy?

The 2022 Hyundai Sonata is offered in 4 trim levels: Preferred, Sport, Luxury, and N Line.

Here's the short version:

• Preferred: This is the value pick if you want the lowest entry point without giving up key comfort and safety features. You get heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, and the full standard safety suite, making it the best-value trim for most shoppers.
• Sport: Choose this if you want a more upscale look and feel without jumping all the way to Luxury. It adds a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, satellite radio, and larger wheels.
• Luxury: This is the trim to target if you want the most comfort-focused version of the regular Sonata. Leather seats, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and the Bose audio system make it the most premium non-N Line choice.
• N Line: Pick this if you want the most character and the strongest performance. It adds the turbocharged 2.5-litre engine, sport suspension, wet dual-clutch transmission, tuned exhaust, larger displays, wireless charging, and Highway Driving Assist.

The safety package is strong across the range, but the N Line and Ultimate Hybrid get the better LED projector headlight rating, while other trims use LED reflector headlights.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Hyundai Sonata?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can be choosy if you shop carefully.

• Deal availability: 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 139 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.84% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $21,020 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Hyundai Sonata's resale value?

The current average of $21,022 CAD sits slightly below last year's $24,120 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Sonata is currently a buyer-friendly used car, but it also means a future seller may need to price competitively to stand out. The year-round range shows there is still room for values to move within a fairly tight band, so condition and trim will matter a lot when it comes time to resell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Hyundai Sonata safe?

The 2022 Hyundai Sonata gets five stars for overall crash protection from NHTSA, and the IIHS gives it top "Good" ratings in all six crash tests.

It earns five-star ratings for overall crash protection from NHTSA, with four-star front crash protection and five-star side crash protection and rollover resistance. It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The Sonata comes standard with forward collision avoidance assist with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, driver-attention warning, automatic high beams, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic alert, Rear Occupant Alert, and Safe Exit Warning. Highway Driving Assist lane-centring assistance and a blind-spot view monitor are standard on N Line and Ultimate Hybrid.

One caveat is that IIHS crash-avoidance testing rated the LED projector headlights on the N Line and Ultimate Hybrid as "Good," while other trims with LED reflector headlights received a "Marginal" rating. IIHS also rated the child-seat anchors as "Acceptable."

Should I buy a 2022 Hyundai Sonata or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.84% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 stands out for tremendous value, exceptional quality, and a sporty N Line variant.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $18,834 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $21,022 CAD average.
• It is a credible choice for drivers who want a fun-to-drive sedan with passenger and cargo practicality.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around used buy, the 2022 is the better starting point thanks to its value, quality, and trim range. If your priority is spending less upfront, the 2021 is worth a look, especially if you want a practical sedan with a more engaging personality.

How does the 2022 Hyundai Sonata compare to the 2022 Kia K5?

The K5 has a higher share of good and great deals, but the Sonata’s broader inventory and stronger value positioning make it easier to shop.
