Always as attractive, the Sonata soldiers on in 2013 without any major changes. Hyundai improves the equipment list, eliminates the manual gearbox by keeping only the six-speed automatic, adds a slightly more powerful GLS trim and lowers the price structure. All Sonata versions use four-cylinder engines, a naturally aspirated 2.4l or a turbocharged 2.0l. The hybrid version, who drives just like its gasoline brethren, remains in the shadows.
Pros
- Advanced hybrid technology
- Guaranteed elegance
- Balanced road handling
- Good spaciousness
- Interesting ergonomics
Cons
- Stiff suspension
- Average tires
- Steering too assisted
