What Hyundai Sonata do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Sonata years with the most listings are 2016, 2024, and 2022.

What is the Hyundai Sonata's resale value?

Most Sonata model years are down year over year, which creates more room for used buyers to find value. The largest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while the older models show smaller changes and therefore more stable pricing.

The 2015, 2017, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
