What Hyundai Sonata do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Sonata years with the most listings are 2022, 2024, and 2017.

What is the Hyundai Sonata's resale value?

Most Sonata model years are showing double-digit year-over-year price declines, which is good news if you are shopping used. The steepest drops are concentrated in newer and mid-cycle examples, while a few older years are falling more slowly. That pattern gives you room to find stronger value across much of the lineup.

The 2017, 2022, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Hyundai Sonata now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −13.14% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −14.76%.
• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 35.1% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $22,290 CAD. The Hyundai Sonata offers a roomy cabin, a comfortable ride, and a strong value proposition that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The Sonata’s base 191-horsepower, 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine is unremarkable, although it does offer AWD as an option for Preferred-Trend models. The Sonata Hybrid sedan set to arrive in 2026 offers a similarly adequate 192-hp drivetrain, which benefits from immediate electric motor torque when accelerating from a standstill and can return fuel economy as low as an estimated 5.0 litres per 100 kilometres in combined driving.
• Tech: All models have a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and the N Line also has a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel. Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, voice recognition, and the ability to connect two smartphones to Bluetooth simultaneously.
• Safety: Every 2025 Sonata has standard advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS). The highlights include forward collision warning with intersection assist, pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high-beam headlights. Additionally, the Sonata has standard lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Starting price: Pricing starts at $36,019 for the Preferred-Trend and $42,619 for the N Line trim seen on our tester, including the $1,975 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2022 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
