• Reliability (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Hyundai's recent reliability scores have been strong, and the hybrid powertrain, while more complex, has generally proven to be dependable. Expect a solid performance over the long term, backed by a good warranty.
• Maintenance (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  While routine maintenance costs are generally reasonable for a hybrid, potential repairs for specialized hybrid components (like the battery or electric motor) can be more expensive than a conventional gasoline vehicle. However, these are typically covered under warranty for a significant period.
• Technology (5)

  Hyundai consistently impresses with its technology offerings. The SEL trim includes a user-friendly infotainment system with a large touchscreen, excellent smartphone integration, and a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance features that are both intuitive and effective.

  4 out of 5 stars
  Interior comfort is a strong suit, with well-cushioned seats and ample space for front and rear passengers. The ride quality is refined, absorbing most road imperfections effectively, contributing to a relaxing cabin environment.
• Dynamics (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The 2025 Sonata Hybrid SEL offers a smooth and generally responsive driving experience for a hybrid sedan. While not overtly sporty, it handles daily commutes and highway cruising with confidence. The transition between electric and gasoline power is seamless.
