2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L - Car and Driver
The Sonata features Genesis-inspired styling, with a lot less flourish in the sheetmetal and a more restrained grille. 4-liter is the base model and there is a 1. 6-liter Eco model as well as a hybrid for fuel efficiency. Instrumented Test – 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid It’s not always easy being green. And for those buyers who do prioritize fuel economy, most hybrid models’ vaunted EPA estimates seem to be achievable only on flat terrain, at country-club speeds, and in mild weather. For 2016, the Sonata hybrid version 3. 0 (our name, not Hyundai’s) addresses some of those shortcomings. Hyundai tackled the fuel-economy issue by shrinking the previous-gen model’s 2. 4-liter four-cylinder gas engine to 2. 0 liters but added direct injection along with a bigger battery pack and a more powerful electric motor. EPA estimates rose from the previous version’s 36 mpg city and 40 mpg highway to 39/43 for our 2016 Limited test car. Observed fuel economy also notched up to 34 mpg under our leadfooted ministrations, besting our test results of the Ford Fusion hybrid (32 mpg) and Toyota Camry hybrid (31 mpg) but not the Honda Accord hybrid (41 mpg).
