The facelifted 2024 Hyundai Sonata will start at US$ 27,500 in the United States and top out at US$ 37,200 excluding a US$ 1,115 delivery charge. While the starting price is higher than the 2023, this is because Hyundai has dropped last year’s entry-level SE, meaning the range now starts with the SEL. Driving the entry-level Sonata SEL is a 2.5-liter GDI four-cylinder engine that is expected to produce the same 191 hp and 245 Nm of torque as last year’s model. The 2023 Sonata had started at US$ 25,450 before delivery while the SEL was US$ 27,975 excluding delivery, meaning the 2024 Sonata SEL is slightly cheaper than the 2023 model.
As standard, the Sonata SEL has an 8-speed
automatic transmission driving the front wheels but for customers willing to
pay an extra US$ 1,500, it can be optioned with all-wheel drive in the SEL AWD
model. The range then includes the new SEL Convenience available from US$ 30,550
with the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder, eight-speed auto, and front-wheel
drive.
Those seeking some more punch can order
the 2024 Sonata in N Line guise. This model starts at US$ 34,950, a small
increase over the US$ 34,825 starting price of the 2023 model. It retains the
same 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder expected to push out 290 hp and 421 Nm of torque while coupled to an eight-speed dual-clutch
transmission. Unfortunately, the Sonata N Line is not available with all-wheel
drive.
Two hybrid variants are offered. Prices
start at US$ 30,800 for the Sonata HEV SEL with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder
hybrid system. We don’t yet have power and torque figures for this engine but
know it is paired with a six-speed auto. The most expensive Sonata model is the
HEV Limited, priced at US$ 37,200. Hyundai has not yet detailed all of the
upgrades enjoyed by the Limited over the SEL. All 2024 Hyundai Sonata models
include a 5-year / 60,000-mile limited warranty and a 10-year / 100,000-mile
powertrain warranty. Sales will start in the first quarter of 2024.
