The 2018 Hyundai Sonata receives a much-needed injection of style.
Pros More stylish than before Relaxing, comfortable ride quality Flexible engines Android or Apple, your interface is OK Roomy interior
Cons Light on personality Sport isn’t all that sporty Limited customization options Interior a little downmarket
one might consider Hyundai’s refreshed 2018 Sonata the brand’s rerelease of its seventh-generation mid-size sedan that was launched for the 2015 model year. That Sonata was a nice enough family four-door that failed to catch on with the buying public in the same way that its slinkier predecessor did; Hyundai is hoping this updated version will climb higher up the sales charts.
Pros Quiet cabin, easy-to-use infotainment system, standard blind-spot monitor.
Cons Dynamically dull, 1.6T engine limited to Eco trim, active-safety features not available on all models.
The 2018 Hyundai Sonata had been restyled inside and out and receives updates to its suspension and steering aimed at improving ride quality, response and feel.
PROS Solid list of standard features and tons of available tech Spacious interior accommodations and generous trunk space Excellent user interface receives a more upscale redesign 10-year powertrain warranty offers peace of mind
CONS No options available on Edmunds' recommended Eco model Slightly less rear legroom than the segment leaders Top turbocharged engine trails performance of its competitors Lackluster power from base engine

For 2018, Chrysler has shuffled the 300's features and trim level names, but otherwise the car remains mechanically the same. The V8 engine was previously available across the board, but it is now offered on just two trim levels.
PROS Cabin is quiet, with an upscale look and feel Available V8 engine suits the car's personality well Touchscreen technology interface is easy to use
