At Hyundai, value continues to reign. Wayne Gerdes – CleanMPG – Mar. 1, 2015 2017 Hyundai Sonata SE with the 6-speed AT (Eco shown) - $22,710 to start incl. mats, D&H while offering owners a 28/38 mpgUS city/highway rating. It is large – the largest D-segment at 106.3 cu. ft interior and 16.3 cu. ft cargo, quiet, comfortable, rides and handles competently, tons of std. features, and is reasonably efficient. Besides those accolades, where it really shines vs competitors is the value. This $22,710 true full-sized vehicle can be picked up for less than $19k just about everywhere. Me? I am partial to the ECO – also available for just under $19k and Sonata HEV/PHEV variants available for less than $21k and $24.5k if you qualify for all the incentives respectively.
