The 2010 Hyundai Sonata comes in three trim levels, all with essentially identical styling: GLS, SE, and Limited. Last year the Sonata got a light touch-up at the front and rear, with most of the sedan's sheetmetal carried over; that's fine as the Sonata is nicely proportioned, if a bit conservative. The 2010 Hyundai Sonata isn't anything special from the outside, but it has a top-notch interior.
Once a budget option, the Hyundai Sonata is now a legitimate competitor for the best midsize sedans. The current recession and slow car sales mean that many similar cars are available at a discount this year. Check out our best car deals page for details
Hyundai has certainly made an effort to keep the Sonata fresh. The 2010 Hyundai Sonata is a midsize sedan available in GLS, SE and Limited trim levels. The SE starts with the GLS's standard features and adds 17-inch alloy wheels with performance tires, automatic headlamps, a rear spoiler, a sport-tuned suspension, a tilt-telescoping steering wheel with steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, metallic interior accents, leather/cloth upholstery and an eight-way power driver seat.
The Hyundai Sonata Limited has the SE's standard creature comforts plus 17-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires, chrome exterior trim, a sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, full leather upholstery, heated front seats, wood-grain interior accents, dual-zone automatic climate control and the Infinity sound system. The standard engine on all Hyundai Sonata trim levels is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder good for 175 horsepower and 168 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the GLS, while a five-speed automatic is standard on the SE and Limited and optional on the GLS. Available on Sonata SE and Limited models is a 3.3-liter V6 producing 249 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque. The Sonata's fuel economy is slightly above average for a family sedan, with the four-cylinder returning 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined (21 mpg city with the manual), and while the V6 yields 19 mpg city/29 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined.
All Sonatas come with antilock brakes, stability control, front-seat side-impact airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and active front head restraints. The 2010 Hyundai Sonata scored a perfect five stars in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's front- and side-impact tests. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing, the Hyundai Sonata earned a Good rating (the highest) for frontal offset crash protection and an Acceptable rating (second-highest) for side-impact protection.
Hyundai interiors have improved greatly over the past few years, and the Sonata's new-for-2009 dashboard design is no exception. The Sonata boasts an adequately roomy backseat and a large 16.3-cubic-foot trunk.
In GLS and Limited trims, the 2010 Hyundai Sonata clearly prioritizes ride comfort over handling precision. In corners, significant body roll and completely numb steering will keep all but the most daring drivers from pushing the Hyundai Sonata's limits.
