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

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: standard advanced driving assistance systems, including forward collision warning with intersection assist, pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, voice recognition, and the ability to connect two smartphones to Bluetooth simultaneously.
• 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 black leather, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard advanced safety systems. It suits you if you want the most accessible way into the updated Sonata.
• N Line: This is the performance-oriented trim, adding a 290 hp turbocharged 2.5-litre engine, a dual-clutch automatic transmission, 19-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, rack-mounted steering, a quad-outlet exhaust, navigation, wireless charging, digital key technology, and an 8-speaker Bose audio system.

What Hyundai Sonata do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Sonata years with the most listings are 2022, 2024, and 2018.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they combine broad availability with strong value, giving you more choice across prices and trims. They also often sit in the sweet spot where equipment, comfort, and market pricing line up well for used shoppers.

What is the Hyundai Sonata's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the Sonata lineup, which can work in your favour if you are shopping used. Most model years are posting double-digit declines, so buyers are seeing meaningful price relief rather than small adjustments. The smallest changes are still negative, which means values continue to soften across the board.

The 2017, 2022, 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.
