2023 Hyundai Sonata vs Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

If you’re in the market for an efficient, budget-friendly, and feature-packed midsize sedan, both the 2023 Hyundai Sonata and 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid should be at the top of your shopping list. Both vehicles are sophisticated sedans with a large array of tech and safety features, but the main difference lies underneath the hood. Here is a side-by-side comparison between these two Hyundai sedans from the experts at Blaise Alexander Hyundai of State College, PA.

Hybrid Vs. Gasoline Powertrain and Performance

These two Hyundai models offer plenty of similarities, including an upscale cabin and many standard features, but the key difference is the powertrain. The gasoline-powered 2023 Hyundai Sonata comes standard with a 2.5-liter MPI/GDI four-cylinder engine that cranks out 191 horsepower. This engine is also fuel-efficient in addition to being powerful. If you upgrade to the top trim, the powertrain is a turbocharged four-cylinder good for 290 horsepower.

Looking at the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, this electrified vehicle comes standard with a hybrid gas/electric powertrain good for up to 192 horsepower. Because of its hybrid powertrain, the fuel-efficiency numbers are even more impressive than the gasoline-powered Hyundai Sonata.

Another key difference between the two models is the fact that the Hybrid version has a regenerative braking system that sends brake energy to the electric battery, recharging it in the process. As a result, braking will feel different between the two models.

Interior and Technology

Both versions of the 2023 Hyundai Sonata include a long list of standard features, including:

• 8-inch dynamic touchscreen
• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
• Six-speaker premium stereo

However, the 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid has a slight edge on standard equipment. For example, a dual-zone automatic climate control system is standard on the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid but optional on the gas-powered Hyundai Sonata.
