The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Higher-volume years tend to be the easiest to shop because you usually get more listings to compare and a better chance of finding the right color, mileage, and price combination.

Most model years in the table are moving lower year over year, which can create better buying opportunities for used shoppers.

That makes recent model years especially worth watching if you want a newer Sonata Hybrid at a softer price.

The 2024 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2024, 2023, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
