What are the key strengths of the 2025 Hyundai Sonata for Canadian drivers?
The 2025 Sonata positions itself as the most complete mid-size sedan in its price class, with an MSRP starting at $29,499 CAD for the Essential trim. The primary powertrain is the 2.5L turbocharged engine producing 290 hp with an 8-speed automatic and optional all-wheel drive — a combination rare in this segment. The Sonata N Line (approximately $36,299) adds a sport-tuned suspension, optional Brembo brakes, and dual exhaust outlets. Trunk volume of 437 litres beats most direct competitors (Honda Accord: 473 L, Toyota Camry: 428 L). On the technology front, the 10.25-inch screen with CCNC interface and the full Hyundai SmartSense safety suite (autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring) are included as standard on all Canadian trims — a notable advantage over base trims of some competitors.
