2026 Hyundai Sonata Trims and Pricing: The Complete Lineup Guide

The 2026 Hyundai Sonata gives midsize-sedan shoppers around Ontario a genuinely wide set of choices: an efficient gas lineup, a fuel-sipping hybrid family, and a turbocharged performance model. For 2026, Hyundai simplified the gas trims to three — SE, SEL Sport, and N Line — after merging the former SEL and SEL Convenience trims into the new SEL Sport. The hybrid side offers three tiers: the new Blue Hybrid, the SEL Hybrid, and the Limited Hybrid. Below you will find every trim, every verified price, and the specs that set them apart, so you can match the right Sonata to how you actually drive.

Which 2026 Sonata Is the Best Value? A Look at the SEL Sport

For many shoppers, the SEL Sport hits the sweet spot. It replaces the previous SEL and SEL Convenience packages for 2026 and adds several desirable features over the base SE while staying just above $30,000 to start. Highlights include 18-inch alloy wheels, a wireless smartphone charging pad, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heated front seats. It is also the only gas trim that can be equipped with HTRAC all-wheel drive, adding all-weather traction for drivers who want it.

2026 Sonata Trim Feature Highlights

Each trim builds on the one below it. Here are the standout standard features that define each step up the lineup.

2026 Sonata Gas Engine and Performance

The SE and SEL Sport share a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The N Line steps up to a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder mated to an eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission for quicker, crisper shifts, and it is the only gas trim that comes with Hyundai’s Highway Driving Assist.

Inside the 2026 Sonata Hybrid Powertrain

The Sonata Hybrid pairs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a combined 192 horsepower. Rather than the continuously variable transmission most hybrids use, Hyundai routes power through a conventional six-speed automatic, which delivers a more familiar, connected driving feel with distinct gear shifts. The electric motor contributes 151 lb-ft of torque from a standstill for responsive around-town acceleration, and the system is self-charging — it recharges through regenerative braking and normal engine operation, so there is never anything to plug in.

2026 Hyundai Sonata Fuel Economy

Fuel economy ranges widely across the lineup, from the efficiency-minded Blue Hybrid to the performance-focused N Line. Adding HTRAC all-wheel drive to the SEL Sport lowers its figures slightly compared with the front-wheel-drive version.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
