The 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid costs $ 28,725 in base Blue trim and reaches $ 36,275 in top Limited trim, the brand announced on Wednesday. The mid-size hybrid sedan is more expensive than the $ 26,575 Honda Accord Hybrid but cheaper than the $ 29,385 Toyota Camry Hybrid.
The 2020 Sonata Hybrid ekes out a bit more highway fuel economy than the Camry Hybrid, with an EPA-rated 50 mpg city, 54 highway, 52 combined. The Camry Hybrid is rated at 51/53/52 mpg, while the Accord Hybrid has ratings of 48/47/48 mpg. The Sonata Hybrid SEL and Limited variants get 45/51/47 mpg, just as SE and XLE Camry variants drop to 44/47/46 mpg.
Powering the Sonata Hybrid is a 150-horsepower 2.0-liter inline-4 with a 51-hp motor for a total of 192 hp. The power is routed through a 6-speed automatic transmission. A 1.62-kwh lithium-ion battery drives the motor and gets a small boost from an available solar roof that can add about two miles after six hours in the sun, Hyundai says.
