2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid: MPG, luxury for a decent price - WTOP
WASHINGTON — The 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid offers good gas mileage and luxury for decent price. The Hyundai Sonata was redesigned for 2015, and less than year later, there’s another redesign of the Sonata Hybrid. We looked at the Limited last year, and not long ago I tested the Sonata ECO with a small turbo four-cylinder engine that managed 31. 5 mpg — good for a midsize sedan. The gas engine and small electric motor combine for 193 hp, which is more power than the Sonatas I drove in the past. The car has a regular automatic transmission, so it drives just like other Sonatas. The price of the Hybrid starts at around $26,000, and for a fully loaded one you can expect to spend around $35,500, which isn’t crazy money for a hybrid. The Sonata Hybrid looks mostly like any other Sonata except for the wheels, which give away that it’s a hybrid — they aren’t the most stylish. The car also sports Blue Drive badges — the name of the hybrid system. The rest of the exterior wears the redesigned look of a more upscale and conservative new Sonata, complete with the large grill inspired by the luxury Hyundai Genesis sedan.
