2015 Hyundai Sonata review

1. You’re looking to go further on a tank 

One of the boast-worthy features of the 2015 Hyundai Sonata is its thrifty performance. If you have a long commute, you’ll love that the 1.6L model gets an EPA-estimated 36 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg for city driving.

2. Upgraded engine 

The most noteworthy feature of the 2015 Hyundai Sonata is that it has the option of 1.6L, 2.0L, or 2.4L four-cylinder engines depending on the trim. These engine options mean it's easy to find something that fits your needs. The 2.4L four-cylinder, which has 185 hp and 178 pound-feet of torque, powers the SE, Sport, and Limited models. If you’re looking for maximum power, the Sport 2.0T comes with a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine, producing 245 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. 

3. Comfortable ride 

If you’re looking to stretch out and enjoy the ride, you’ll find it easy to relax once inside the 2015 Sonata—even if you’ve been blessed with height. Front-row legroom in most of the trims is 45.5 inches and headroom is 40.4 inches. The backseat has 36.5 inches of legroom and 38 inches of headroom. This year’s model has an emphasis on comfort and thoughtful design with standard features that include multi-level heated driver's seat and passenger seats as well as multi-level heating for the rear seats. 

4. Stylish interior 

Drivers looking for a buttery-smooth ride will love the trims that feature black or brown leather interior. Leather accents throughout the interior—like the doors and steering wheel—give the 2015 Hyundai Sonata a sophisticated look. Driver features like dual illuminating vanity mirrors, storage pockets in abundance, and overhead storage make it easy to get “fixed up” before you step out of the vehicle. 

5. Great cargo space 

This midsized sedan is great if you’re looking for a roomy interior while seating five. You’ll get 16.3 cu-ft of cargo capacity while all the seats are up and in place. There’s an option of a split-folding rear seatback if you have large items to transport. Caregivers will appreciate child seat anchors, rear door child locks, and passenger airbag occupant sensing deactivation.
