2024 Hyundai Sonata Trims Comparison
The Sonata has long been a popular choice when it comes to the sedan segment, and for good reason. It's stylish, sporty, and sophisticated-everything a consumer could want in a new vehicle. As a result, we're doing a 2024 Hyundai Sonata trims comparison post in this article. Keep reading to learn more.
2024 Hyundai Sonata Trim Levels and Pricing
The gas-powered variant of the 2024 Hyundai Sonata has two trim levels. Let's take a closer look at each model to see the various key features and price points.
SEL Trim
The entry-level SEL trim kicks off the Sonata lineup. It boasts a suite of advanced features and technology that give it an appealing presentation. For example, the SEL delivers a 6-speaker sound system, smartphone integration, a 12.3-inch infotainment monitor, and more. Additionally, the SEL has a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. As a result of these capabilities, the SEL comes with an MSRP of $28,650.
N Line Trim
Next up is the N Line trim. Complete with galvanized steel panels, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, multi-link rear suspension, and robust 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels, the N Line trim is a firm and sturdy sedan. It also comes fully loaded with an array of safety features such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, driveline traction control, a backup camera, and more.
Also, the N Line comes equipped with the 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The resulting output is 290 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Due to all these additional bells and whistles, the N Line trim has an MSRP of $36,100.
Choosing the Right Hyundai Sonata Trim for You
Choosing the right option among the 2024 Hyundai Sonata trims will be based on a few criteria. Everything from personal preference and practicality to your budget and even reviews from others can be useful metrics to help you make an informed decision. Let's explore some of those considerations.
Determine Your Budget
Before you call your dealership and attempt to book an appointment for a test drive, it's important to first know how much money you can comfortably spend on a new vehicle. Ensure that you set aside a certain portion of savings for the purchase. This will help you have enough wiggle room in your budget for other expenses and priorities.
Explore Various Trim Levels
If the trim you're interested in happens to be a little out of your price range, no problem. Try to see it as an opportunity to explore other options. So, make it a point to research and test drive different trim levels to see which one you enjoy the most. It's possible that the trim you were interested in doesn't quite do it for you the way another trim you initially had little or no interest in does.
Assess Resale Value
More than likely, your Sonata purchase will not be your "forever" vehicle. At some point in the future, you will probably want to sell it and upgrade. For this reason, it's important to know your vehicle's resale value so that you can get the most for it should you decide to sell it in the future.
Some criteria that affect a vehicle's resale value include:
- Maintenance and repairs
- Vehicle history
- Age and mileage
- The color of your car
- Interior and exterior conditions
- Aftermarket modifications
By understanding what your vehicle's resale value is, you make it easier on yourself to get the money you deserve for it when you sell it.
Consult Expert Reviews
Few things are more trusted than guidance from a genuine expert (or at least someone with some degree of personal experience). For this reason, consider consulting with an expert on the Sonata. Call your local dealership to ask questions, look at customer reviews, and, if applicable, ask friends or family what their experiences were with the Sonata if they ever owned one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many people have the same questions regarding the 2024 Hyundai Sonata trims. For this reason, we've compiled a couple of the more frequently asked questions about the Sonata.
What Unique Features Can I Expect with Each Trim Level?
The entry-level SEL trim, while not as well equipped as its N Line counterpart, still boasts an array of impressive features. For example, it comes with standard heated seats, a 12.3-inch infotainment system (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity), and the Hyundai SmartSense suite with an array of safety and driver assistance features.
On the other hand, the N Line is the more athletic and sporty version of the two gas-powered trim levels. As a result, if you're looking for a stylish vehicle that has a nice blend of athleticism, the N Line is more likely to be your speed. It also includes a more powerful engine setup as well as a comfortable leather-wrapped steering wheel.
How Do I Schedule a Test Drive?
Scheduling a test drive is easy. All you have to do is call your local dealership, speak to a representative, and ask to book a time to come and test drive your trim of choice. The individual on the other end will confirm your booking, and all you have to do is simply show up on the day and time of the appointment to test drive your trim.
