Hyundai remains solidly in the sedan business, signaling its commitment with cars like the 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.
Going toe to toe with midsize heavyweights like the Toyota Camry Hybrid and the Honda Accord Hybrid, the Sonata Hybrid brings Hyundai value to the fight. It’s a blend of advanced styling, cutting-edge technology, and passenger comfort.
Not to mention the excellent fuel economy, a class-leading warranty, and impressive standard driver aids.
Other than adding Remote Smart Parking Assist as an option for the Limited trim, there are no changes to the Sonata Hybrid for 2022. This technology allows drivers to park in tight spaces from outside the car.
Every Sonata Hybrid uses a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and electric motor to generate a combined 192 horsepower. Engine production reaches the front wheels by way of a 6-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. See 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid models for sale
2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Blue (starting at $27,050)
The entry-level Blue grade is the Sonata Hybrid’s most fuel-efficient trim. It delivers an EPA-estimated 50 miles per gallon in the city, 54 mpg on the highway, and 52 mpg in combined driving.
Standard are LED exterior lights (headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights), 16-inch alloy wheels, an 8-inch touchscreen, and a 6-speaker audio system, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
Other standard convenience features include keyless entry with push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and the Hands-Free Smart Trunk, which fully opens automatically when the key fob is close by.
Every Sonata Hybrid comes with a suite of driver aids, including adaptive cruise control with start-stop, forward-collision warning with emergency braking, blind-spot alert, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-change assist, lane-keeping assist, lane-follow assist, and high-beam assist.
To increase content, you really need to move up to the next trim level. The options list is short, consisting primarily of dealer-installed accessories.
Adding the $1,005 destination fee to the base price brings the total to $28,055. Financing this amount with no money down for 60 months at a 3% interest rate translates into a monthly payment of $504. See 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Blue models for sale

2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid SEL (starting at $29,800)
Although the SEL and Limited grades use the same powertrain as the Blue grade, their estimated mileage is less. The numbers drop to 45 mpg city, 51 mpg highway, and 47 mpg combined.
We think the SEL is the sweet spot among the Sonata Hybrid’s three grades.
Building on the Blue trim’s standard equipment, the SEL adds or replaces features with 17-inch alloy wheels, upgraded LED taillights, heated outboard mirrors, and power-adjustable heated front seats.
Other enhancements include a 12-speaker Bose audio system, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and rear-seat HVAC vents.
After adding the $1,005 destination fee to the SEL base price, the total cost is $30,805. Your monthly payment would be $554 when financing for 60 months at a 3% interest rate with no money down. See 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid SEL models for sale
