2016 Hyundai Sonata review

1. Helpful driver assistance features

If you're looking for a vehicle that offers the best of both convenience and technology, the 2016 Hyundai Sonata boasts an array of features that make it a standout among other sedans. Highlights include adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and lane departure warning, all of which can provide an extra layer of confidence out on the road. Plus, this car features a rearview camera and rear park assist, giving you peace of mind in tight parking lots.

2. Spacious and comfortable cabin

Drive or be driven comfortably in the 2016 Hyundai Sonata. The spacious cabin can comfortably accommodate up to five passengers with room to spare. The padded front seats and spacious rear offer enough legroom and headroom to make long road trips and afternoon cruising as hassle-free as possible. The cabin is also designed with luxury-style amenities that you'd expect in a sportier ride, such as heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an easy-to-use touchscreen and control center.

3. Balanced performance

Balancing performance and time spent refueling, the 2016 Sonata includes a 2.4L four-cylinder engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 178 lb-feet of torque. The SE trim with this engine gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.

There's also the option of a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder engine, increasing horsepower to 245 and torque to 260 lb-ft. The best part? The impact on your mpg is minimal as the more powerful engine still gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. This makes the 2016 Sonata a great option for long commutes or road trips.

4. User-friendly technology
