5 reasons to buy the 2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

1. Decent fuel-sipping performance 

If you’re looking for a fuel-sipping vehicle, the 2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid can help decrease how often you have to stop at the gas station. Thanks to the hybrid powertrain, it gets an EPA-estimated 35 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.

The EPA estimates the 2015 Sonata will manage around 684 miles total range before you need to add to the tank again.

2. Good acceleration 

If you want a family-friendly midsize sedan that can get you up to highway speeds quickly, the 2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will make you smile. You’ll note the little jump you get when you hit the gas pedal in this hybrid vehicle. The 2.4L four-cylinder engine takes you from zero to 60 in eight seconds. It’s no sports car but its acceleration is good for passing maneuvers and highway merging.  

3. Comfortable ride for your crew 

The 2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid has roomy front seats—45.5 inches of legroom—and space in the back for adults too with 34.6 inches of legroom. There are six-way manual front seat adjustments and four-way manual passenger seat adjustments. Multilevel heated seats for the driver and passenger are standard. There are plenty of storage options in seatbacks and on car doors, and the cargo capacity is 12.1 cu-ft, likely big enough to pack for an overnight trip. 

4. A quiet ride 

Hyundai crafted the Sonata Hybrid to offer a serene, smooth driving experience, characterized by its quiet interior. In case you weren't aware, hybrid cars are quieter in general thanks to their electric motors. Backseat passengers will appreciate that the pothole-studded street doesn’t disrupt their nap thanks to the four-wheel independent suspension and multi-link rear suspension. 

5. Plenty of driver features 

The 2015 standard version of the Sonata Hybrid includes a standard rearview camera, HD Radio™, CD player, satellite radio, alarm, anti-theft system, and touchscreen audio controls. It also has heated mirrors, power mirrors, an MP3 player, a hands-free communication system, and integrated turn signal mirrors. Look for the Limited trim for options like a sunroof, dual moon roofs, smart device integration, premium audio, and a navigation system. This Limited trim comes with heated leather seats.

The 2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is praised for its impressive fuel economy, smooth ride, and quiet cabin, though some reports note cabin noise at higher speeds. Customers appreciate the spacious interior but find the tech features outdated and acceleration underwhelming. Maintenance costs are noted but seen as fair given its efficiency.
