Question 1

What engines and trims are available for the 2022 Hyundai Sonata in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Hyundai Sonata is offered in Canada with two powertrains: the Smartstream G2.5 GDI 2.5L naturally aspirated engine producing 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque (on Essential and Preferred trims), and the Smartstream G1.6 T-GDI turbocharged engine producing 180 hp and 195 lb-ft (on N Line, Luxury, and Sport 2.5T trims). The top-spec Sport 2.5T trim features the Smartstream G2.5 Turbo four-cylinder producing 290 hp and 311 lb-ft — the most powerful sedan in its segment in Canada — paired with an 8-speed DCT. Canadian MSRPs for 2022 start at approximately $28,499 for the Essential 2.5L and reach approximately $43,999 for the Sport 2.5T or Luxury. All trims are front-wheel drive. The 2022 Sonata gains the Digital Pattern upgrade on Preferred and higher trims, including full-LED digital headlights with door-opening welcome projections onto the road surface.

Question 2

Is the 2022 Hyundai Sonata a good family sedan choice in Canada against the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Sonata (from $28,499) is competitively positioned against the 2022 Toyota Camry (from $28,495) and the 2022 Honda Accord (from $31,350). The Sonata stands out with the boldest design of the trio — the Sensuous Sportiness body and full LED signature headlights win over style-conscious buyers. Technologically, the Sonata 2022 includes a 10.25-inch screen with standard SmartSense driver assistance and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility from the Preferred trim. Hyundai's 5-year/100,000 km full warranty is superior to Toyota (3 years/60,000 km) and Honda (3 years/60,000 km), a strong argument for Canadian buyers. The Camry retains an advantage on resale value (typically 5 to 10% higher after 5 years) and the more fuel-efficient hybrid option. For buyers who value style, technology, and an extended warranty at a similar price, the 2022 Sonata is a very well-justified choice.

Question 3

What are the financing and maintenance costs for the 2022 Hyundai Sonata in Canada?

Accepted Answer

At the time of its launch in 2022, Hyundai Canada regularly offered attractive financing programs on the Sonata: rates from 0% on 48-month terms or 1.49% on 72-month terms during promotional periods. For a 2022 Sonata Preferred at approximately $32,000, monthly payments over 72 months at 1.49% worked out to approximately $470 per month. Maintenance costs are among the lowest in the midsize sedan segment: oil changes recommended every 10,000 km (approximately $80 to $120 at a Hyundai dealer), annual service approximately $250 to $400. The Sonata uses a timing belt rather than a timing chain for the 1.6T and 2.5T engines, requiring a preventive replacement (approximately $600 to $900) at recommended intervals. Original-equipment tires in 225/50 R17 or 245/45 R18 sizes cost between $180 and $280 each at Canadian retailers. The 2.5L combined fuel consumption of 8.7L/100 km represents an annual fuel cost of approximately $2,784 for 20,000 km at $1.60/L.
