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

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: The Sonata N Line should burn 8.8 L/100 km in combined driving, but we observed a fuel efficiency of 12.6 L/100 km on our testing loop.

Which Hyundai Sonata trim should I buy?

The 2025 Hyundai Sonata offers these trims:

• Preferred-Trend: This is the value-focused choice, with the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, voice recognition, and Bluelink connected services. It suits you if you want the core Sonata experience with strong everyday equipment.
• N Line: This is the performance-oriented trim, adding the 290 hp turbocharged 2.5-litre engine, dual-clutch automatic transmission, 19-inch wheels, sport-tuned suspension, rack-mounted steering, quad-outlet exhaust, 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel, on-board navigation, wireless smartphone charging, digital key technology, and an 8-speaker Bose premium sound system. It is the best-value pick if you want the most engaging Sonata.

What Hyundai Sonata do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more choice, more price competition, and a better chance of finding the trim and condition you want. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and more accessible pricing.

What is the Hyundai Sonata's resale value?

Most Sonata model years are down year over year, which can work in your favour if you are shopping used. The largest drops are concentrated in older and newer years alike, while a few years have declined only slightly. That creates a broad spread of value opportunities across the lineup.

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

Is the Hyundai Sonata safe?

• 2025: 10/10
• 2022: 9/10
• 2021: 9/10

Every 2025 Sonata has standard advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS). For the safest used buy, the 2025 model posts the highest confirmed score of 10/10.

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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −12.61% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −14.51%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.7% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 32.7%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $28,530 CAD. The Hyundai Sonata offers a roomy cabin, a comfortable ride, and a well-equipped feel 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: This year, the Sonata earned a “Good” rating in that evaluation, so the IIHS awarded the model a Top Safety Pick+ rating. According to a Hyundai spokesperson, the automaker improved rear-seat passenger protection and the car’s overall structural integrity.
• 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 2024 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.
