Midsize Car Matchup: The Hyundai Sonata Takes on the Toyota Camry

Looking for a stylish midsize sedan with spacious seating and a wealth of standard features? The new Hyundai Sonata is an outstanding value for Rockville, MD drivers because its competitively priced despite having one of the nicest interiors in its class. The new Toyota Camry has been a long-time leader of the pack among midsize cars, but the Sonata more than holds its own against its rivals. Fitzgerald Hyundai has taken the time to compare these two vehicles so that people in Baltimore can decide which sedan is better for them.

Performance Comparison

  • The Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Camry both have two gas-only engine options, while the Camry offers a third hybrid powertrain. Arlington, VA drivers will appreciate that the Sonata's available turbocharged four-cylinder motor gets 27 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. The Camry's optional 301-horsepower V6 engine only gets 22 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

Interior Comparison

  • The Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Camry both have well-built cabins with attractive materials. The Sonata's interior is more elegant and clutter-free, while the inside of the Camry may be a bit too busy for some people.
  •         
  • People in Washington, DC who pack a lot of luggage or sports gear for the road will prefer the Hyundai Sonata. Its large trunk has 16 cubic feet of cargo space, and its opening is broad and square to simplify loading bulky items. The Camry's trunk is only 14.1 cubic feet in base models, and 15.1 cubic feet in higher trims.

Comparing Technology Features

  • Both the Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Camry have responsive, user-friendly infotainment systems. Rockville drivers will like that the Sonata comes with an 8-inch touch screen that can be upgraded to a 10.25-inch unit. The Camry's standard touch screen is only 7 inches long, though you can opt for an 8-inch version.
  • The Hyundai Sonata offers a 12.3-in digital instrument display that turns the whole gauge cluster into a screen and the Hyundai Digital Key, which can turn your Android device into a key that can lock, unlock, and start the Sonata. Neither of those features are available in the Toyota Camry.
  • Both the Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Camry are loaded with standard safety tech, including adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, forward automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, lane departure warning and lane keep assist. But people in Baltimore will appreciate that the Sonata also comes with lane tracing assist and driver attention monitoring. Those two features are not available on the Camry.

Warranty & Price

  • The Hyundai Sonata is more affordable. Arlington drivers would have to pay $900 more to purchase the Toyota Camry's lowest trim than they would to buy the Hyundai Sonata's base model.
  • Hyundai covers the Sonata with one of America's best warranties. People in Alexandria will feel good knowing that the Sonata is backed by a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The Camry only comes with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
