There was a time when the four-door sedan was the most popular vehicle not only in America but the entire world. And while the sedan still exists in one form or another, it's gradually being replaced by the SUV, which has only skyrocketed in popularity as the years have continued. That said, the 2023 Hyundai Sonata brings excitement and cost-effectiveness to the table this year and breathes some new life into an old standard. And the advantages don't come close to stopping there.  

Never one to miss a chance to impress their clientele, the Sonata feels less like an economical sedan and more like a luxury vehicle when one gets behind the wheel. The interior, which is anchored by an eight-inch infotainment screen, has several details that we couldn't help but feel excited about. Metallic pedals and a highly-stylized gear shifter certainly inject some excitement into the vehicle, which offers quite a few exciting technology features as well. Adaptive cruise control and driver alertness detection are standard, as is forward collision warning and automated emergency braking. Pairing all of this with Hyundai's industry-leading warranty, you're given the very best in terms of quality assurance when on the road.
