See Why Critics Love the 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

Exceptional Fuel Economy

The 2021 Sonata Hybrid leads the pack in terms of fuel economy. It is almost unrivaled with its combined EPA estimated 48-52 mpg, depending on the trim you choose. Real-world tests reveal that these fuel ratings hold true for everyday driving scenarios. The available solar panel charges both the 12-volt battery and the hybrid battery pack, adding around two miles of driving a day.

The Innovative Solar Panel Roof

Buyers looking to really max out their fuel ratings should consider adding the available solar panel roof to their vehicle. It spans the entire length of the roof, from windshield to windshield. It can charge the hybrid battery back and 12-volt battery at the same time. Hyundai is focused on using this technology to make this vehicle as eco-conscious as possible.

User-Friendly Technology

Many newer vehicles use technology to integrate modern amenities into the overall driving experience. With Hyundai, this technology is unmatched. The infotainment system utilizes an 8-inch touchscreen which comes standard, or the 10.25-inch screen that comes standard on the top Limited trim, and is made optional on the SEL trim.

Making an 8-inch screen standard is industry-leading, and the extra size is used well with its well-laid-out menu and easy-to-navigate controls. Smartphone app integration also comes standard across the lineup, allowing you to seamlessly connect your compatible smartphone through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Stream music, make calls, and follow turn-by-turn directions with your favorite navigation app.

Plenty of Advanced Driving Aids

The 2021 Sonata Hybrid comes standard with a huge list of advanced driving aids. This extensive list includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, a drowsy driver mirror, a blind spot monitoring system, a rear passenger reminder function, and lane keep assist.

Blind spot monitoring is an especially popular feature that is not typically included on lower trim levels among the competition, but Hyundai makes it standard on every model of Sonata Hybrid. These driver-assist features definitely add to the overall incredible value of this vehicle.

Comfortable Ride Quality

The 2021 Sonata Hybrid has a ride quality that is absolutely above average for this segment. This sedan is remarkably compliant and highly controlled. The well-tuned suspension absorbs bumps with ease, and it feels quite agile on winding roads or in crowded places.

The 2021 Sonata Hybrid impresses in multiple ways, from its excellent fuel ratings to its completely futuristic glass solar panel. This hybrid sedan is a top contender in its segment and is set to continue to be a driver-favorite for years to come. Come take one for a test drive today at Crain Hyundai of Fort Smith and see why critics love this hybrid sedan.
