Hyundai Sonata Named Best Car For The Money

The Hyundai Sonata probably had to trade in its trophy shelf for a whole storage unit long ago. It has raked in award after award for years, and continues to be the envy of its class.

Looks are Important

Have you noticed that the new generation of Hyundai Sonata is looking, well, not like a Hyundai? Well, these guys aren’t your mother’s design team and the days of being a wallflower are long gone for the Hyundai Sonata. If you find yourself ogling someone’s Sonata on the street, you’re not alone. Even the experts agree that the Sonata’s design is praiseworthy. The Chicago Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design gave the Sonata its 2014 Good Design award. Not bad for an affordable mid-size.

A Real Value

Cars like this usually capitalizes on their good looks, but not the drop-dead gorgeous but level-headed Sonata. An entry level price with affordable upgrades show that the Sonata is no snob. When this car showed up to the party, its class competition was blown away. Basically, you usually can’t get a car like this without spending enough to keep you awake at night. The experts also agree that the Sonata is generously priced. The Hyundai Sonata was named a 2015 Best Midsize Car for the Money, Best Car for the Money in its Class, and the overall Best Car for the Money by U.S. News & World Report.

Safety First

The Sonata was named a Top Safety Pick in 2014 and 2015 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This is no small feat either, because in order to make the list a vehicle has to fare well in high speed frontal crash tests, rollover tests, and side crash tests. Hyundai Sonata also earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the government’s auto safety watchdog, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

It’s Basically Just Awesome

There’s not really any category where you’ll catch the Sonata slacking off. Kelley Blue Book has named Sonata among its top family cars and Polk has called the Sonata “King of the Automotive Conquests.” It has won a staggering amount of these kinds of awards for being an all-around excellent vehicle for its great performance, excellent fuel economy, reliability, and engineering. It’s an Edmunds Top Rated vehicle and if you check out customer reviews you’ll see that it’s not just the auto critics that are singing Sonata’s praises.
