What changed for 2027
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says not a thing. The Sonata carries over to 2027 without any changes from last year's model.
Pricing and powertrains for 2027
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) lists MSRP at $28,895-$39,795 across a standard 191-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder, a turbocharged N Line, and a 192-hp hybrid with high mpg ratings.
How it compares to its closest rivals
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says with the exception of the higher-performance N Line, the Sonata's road manners are generally bland, and their favorite midsize family sedan is actually the Honda Accord, which excels in its hybrid format and wows with sports-sedan moves.
MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) says although the Sonata has huge front-row legroom, some rivals provide more back-seat and trunk space: the Kia K5 matches its legroom and cargo, while the Honda Accord offers more rear legroom (40.8 vs 34.8 inches) and more trunk space (16.7 vs 15.6 cubic feet).

Record summary
What to know first
SE through SEL Convenience share the 191-horsepower base engine; N Line jumps to a 290-horsepower turbo, while the separate Hybrid branch (192 hp combined) is its own powertrain family entirely.
Model-year note
The N Line's 290 hp and the Hybrid's 192 hp come from two different powertrains, and neither figure applies to the other. Hyundai had not yet published U.S. 2027 Sonata trims, pricing or EPA figures at last check, though EPA has a 2027 filing for the family, so this page keeps the stable trim structure and output figures. A redesigned ninth-generation Sonata has been reported in Korean industry press for a home-market debut, with no confirmed U.S. timing.
