2026 Hyundai
SONATA Hybrid

As one of the first mainstream gas-electric sedans, the Sonata Hybrid has earned its place in Hyundai’s lineup of comfortable and efficient vehicles. After a two-year hiatus, the economical Blue trim has been brought back, giving buyers a low-cost yet well-outfitted choice with exceptional fuel economy reaching up to 56 mpg on the highway. The next trim up, the SEL, now comes with a panoramic sunroof, while the top-of-the-line Limited pleases its occupants with heated and ventilated front seats and leather upholstery. America’s Best Warranty remains in place, covering the 2026 Sonata Hybrid with five years/60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper protection and 10 years/100,000 miles on the powertrain. Buyers and lessees also receive three years/36,000 miles of standard scheduled maintenance and five years of roadside assistance without a mileage cap.
