The new 2017 Hyundai Sonata is now firmly ensconced in the top tier of midsize family sedans, with refined gppd looks and top-notch fuel economy and safety ratings. The Car Connection recently reviewed the Sonata and particularly likes both its performance and interior design.

The base Sonata's 185-horsepower 2.4-liter inline-4 and the twin-scroll turbocharged, 245-hp 2.0-liter inline-4 are free-revving engines that deliver their power fairly quietly and almost free of vibration. With either engine, you get a 6-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual controls and quick, smooth shifts. All Sonatas get a three-mode driving selector. According to The Car Connection, the Sonata's biggest improvement in this generation is in ride quality. It's settled at any speed, and compliant. Sport versions get slightly stiffer tune and bigger tires. In either case, the steering isn't entirely communicative, but it's responsive enough.
All three Sonata powertrains perform well on the EPA cycle. The Sonata Eco's 38-mpg highway rating drops to 31 mpg on the Limited. There's really not a bad pick here.
