Should I buy a used Hyundai Sonata now or wait for the next model?

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $22,104. The Hyundai Sonata offers a roomy cabin and a relaxed, well-equipped character that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The Sonata’s base 191-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is unremarkable, although it does offer all-wheel drive (AWD) as an option for SEL models – all other Sonata and Sonata Hybrids have front-wheel drive (FWD), and the Sonata Hybrid sedan offers a similarly adequate 192-hp drivetrain, which benefits from immediate electric motor torque when accelerating from a standstill and can return an EPA-estimated 47 mpg in combined driving.
• Tech: All models have a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and, starting with the Sonata SEL Convenience, there's also a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel, while standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and the ability to connect two smartphones to the Bluetooth simultaneously.
• Safety: Every 2025 Sonata has standard SmartSense, Hyundai’s collection of advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), and Highway Driving Assist is standard on the Sonata N Line.
• Starting price: Across the entire lineup, pricing ranges from $28,145 to $38,945, including the $1,245 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
