The 2025 Hyundai Sonata offers Norris drivers precisely what they need for commuting, and it provides the comfort, space, and tech that makes road trips fun. Being behind the wheel of this reliable midsize sedan is a true pleasure—never a drag or concern—and it is especially ideal for drivers with families. You'll have the confidence you desire, as well, thanks to the safety features that come standard. If you're in the market for a new ride, you should look seriously at the 2025 Sonata; its versatility is tough to beat, and it comes at a remarkably fair price. more As a Hyundai dealer near Norris, we've seen many customers succeed with this sedan, so we want to explain to you why it ought to be your next purchase, too. Simply, there's no category where this sedan doesn't outdo expectations; combined with its affordability, you'll only end up kicking yourself if you don't take advantage of what it has to offer. With both gas and hybrid powertrains, you'll also be able to choose your efficiency level. So, let's take a look at all this sedan has to give Norris drivers… The Sonata Will Propel You Across Tennessee Norris is a wonderful place to live, but we know that to get just about anywhere, you need to drive. In order to do so with confidence, you want the certainty that you have a great engine under the hood. Nothing ruins a trek to Knoxville like the sensation that your car's engine is struggling to keep pace, nor do you want a lazy response when you steer, especially when you're in the tight streets of the city; you want a quick, responsive ride. The good news is that the Sonata 2025 gives you precisely that. Its standard engine is an already peppy 2.5L four-cylinder engine that cranks out 191 hp. You can upgrade that engine to a turbocharged version that delivers 290 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. The better the horsepower and torque, the smoother those rides on the freeway will be, even at high speeds. You'll also have more capable acceleration, making merging onto the highway a simpler task; nobody enjoys dawdling on an on-ramp because their engine is not up to par. Thankfully, your Sonata will avoid such a situation. If you have the itch to drive a hybrid, not only does the Sonata have you covered, but it has a solid powertrain for you, too. With a 2.0L four-cylinder combined with an electric motor, you get 192 hp and stellar fuel economy figures. Speaking of which, let's take a look at how the Sonata makes for mileage… The Sonata Is Remarkably Fuel-Efficient Since we know Norris drivers are so often hitting the road, we also know that you need a vehicle that gives you great fuel economy. The Sonata delivers. In fact, we'd argue it does so twice! Why? Its price is extremely competitive compared to other sedans in its class, with the MSRP of its base trim at $26,650. Once you're enjoying its fuel efficiency, you'll be locking in savings for years to come, too, making this a doubly smart buy. The Sonata's base engine gets an EPA-estimated 28 MPG in the city and 38 MPG on the highway in front-wheel drive; in the available all-wheel drive, this powertrain gets you 25 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. When you consider how much highway driving occurs around Norris, this sedan's highway figures are clearly a massive benefit. The turbocharged version trades greater power for lower fuel economy, but only by a little, at 23 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. If you want the best possible fuel economy, then you'll want to seriously consider the Sonata's hybrid powertrain, as you'll get an eye-popping 44 MPG in the city and 51 MPG on the highway. At that rate, you'll almost forget where your local gas station is! The Sonata Offers a Lot of Interior Comfort Thanks to the comfortable cabin the Sonata provides, your journeys around Tennessee will be even more enjoyable. Hyundai knows that power and fuel efficiency are important, but they don't add up to much if you never want to use your sedan due to awkward seating or ugly furnishing. Thankfully, the Sonata's interior has the space you want so that you're feeling relaxed and the style that keeps you feeling cool. An available 9-way power driver's seat means that you'll be able to station yourself in a fashion that best suits your posture. This means you'll be plenty comfortable, yes, but it also improves safety; if a driver isn't sitting in a fashion to their liking, they are more likely to fatigue, which increases the possibility of a collision; with the right driver's seat, you'll be cruising with confidence and comfort. Better yet, your passengers can have 4-way seats, too, so that they are able to relax just as much as you. There are plenty of small touches to enjoy, especially on higher trims. Available dual-zone climate control will let you and your passenger enjoy different temperatures so that there's no disagreement about how warm or cool you feel. Wireless device charging can make it easy to keep your devices juiced even if you're taking a long road trip. Leather seating surfaces will make certain that your passengers are impressed by your sense of style, and an optional panoramic sunroof will add a dash of style and luxury to your ride. The infotainment system is controlled by a futuristic 12.3-inch touchscreen that is easy to use and impressively integrated into the dashboard. You'll be able to enjoy tunes and podcasts since Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make syncing your device to the Sonata no trouble at all. The Sonata Has Safety Features That Keep You Secure The Hyundai Sonata comes with safety programs that allow you to travel without stress. The SmartSense suite comes with Lane Keeping Assist, which alerts you if you're veering outside your lane; Safe Exit Warning, which lets you know if a car is coming before you open your door; Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which warns you of any vehicles behind you as you enter reverse; and many, many more. Our customers report to us that the SmartSense suite makes it feel like they have a co-pilot with them who always puts safety first. That's another reason that families, in particular, are huge fans of this sedan.

You work hard during the week to provide for yourself and your family; on the weekends, you deserve a vehicle that can help you turn loose and have fun. The refreshed 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz offers the performance and capabilities weekend warriors need in a compact, affordable package. more As the leading Hyundai dealer near Norris, Rusty Wallace Hyundai has the 2025 Santa Cruz for sale for Tennessee drivers who want to let their hair down. This small truck will be your vehicle to make the most of every day off—and it's a fine daily driver, too. Let's explore how the Hyundai Santa Cruz steps up its game for concerts, road trips, beach excursions, and other unforgettable weekend experiences. The Power You Need for Adventure After punching the clock all week, you want an adrenaline rush on the weekend, which means a weak powertrain can't be in the cards. The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz solves this with potent engines that emit a pleasingly throaty roar. The base 2.5L inline-four engine makes 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque, which is fine for cruising down I-75 with an EPA-estimated 30 MPG on the highway. If you want the hair on the back of your neck to stand up, the Santa Cruz XRT and Limited trims add a turbocharger that boosts output to 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque, which you'll feel every time you stomp the gas pedal. Both engines are connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission with Hyundai's Shiftronic technology, which lets you manually shift if you prefer. The transmission for the turbocharged engine adds a dual-clutch and paddle shifters for even smoother transitions. Great Towing and Bed Features You're usually not going on weekend adventures alone; you'll bring luggage, bikes, ATVs, air mattresses, fishing gear, and other toys. Hyundai knows this, and they designed the 2025 Santa Cruz for some of the best towing and cargo performance of any small truck. This compact truck has a hauling capacity of up to 5,000 lbs, which is enough to bring a boat to Melton Lake Park or cart a pop-up camper for overnight outings. For this, the Santa Cruz is prewired for four-pin or seven-pin attachments. Furthermore, its four-foot composite bed has so much more to offer than its 27 cu.ft. of cargo area. The bed has sidewall storage and a lockable under-bed compartment to increase capacity and help you organize. Heavy-duty D-rings let you hold everything in place, and the multi-functional tailgate with remote release allows easy access. There's also a factory-installed tonneau cover with utility tracks on most trims to protect cargo against the weather. Other standard and available features include side roof rails, a 115-volt power outlet, rear bumper steps, and privacy glass. Great Handling on All Terrain Norris drivers don't just want a truck that does well on dry pavement, hence why the 2025 Santa Cruz adapts to the road. Its HTRAC all-wheel drive (AWD) is available or standard with every trim, giving you much-needed traction to handle rain, dirt, and tight turns. When you choose AWD, there are up to seven drive modes that optimize the Santa Cruz. Normal mode is ideal for everyday driving, while Sport mode gives you more throttle and steering response. Snow, Mud, Sand, and Tow modes use special algorithms to keep the Santa Cruz sailing along in these conditions. Finally, Smart mode can automatically switch or combine modes based on driver input and what the sensors detect. Of course, these drive modes need a good suspension and chassis to take advantage of them. Hyundai thus outfits the 2025 Santa Cruz with a high-strength steel body, independent MacPherson front struts with coilovers, a self-leveling independent multi-link rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels. The result is a truck that handles like a car on the main roads yet tackles backroads and light off-road trails without a drop of sweat. The XRT trim adds all-terrain tires, a higher approach angle for obstacles, and front tow hooks to pull yourself out of trouble. Keep Comfortable As You Go Whether you're the only person on an adventure or you bring family and friends, everyone can get cozy in the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz. It has 41.4 inches of front legroom and 36.5 inches of rear legroom, which rank among the best in the compact class. The windshield is acoustic-laminated to help block road noise, and the driver's seat can be adjusted up to eight ways for a great fit. Most trims have dual climate controls, auto-defogging, and H-Tex leatherette seat upholstery. Thanks to all-LED lighting, which is unbelievably bright and outlasts traditional halogens, you can keep adventuring well into the night. All Santa Cruz trims have projector-style bi-LED headlights plus daytime running lights for maximum visibility 24/7. The low and high beams automatically turn on and off as needed so you can focus on the drive. Roof-mounted cargo lights are standard, and higher trims also have bed lights to see what you're loading and unloading during the night hours. Tech for Entertainment and Safety The tasty tech on the 2025 Santa Cruz will help Norris drivers become one with their journey. Feast your eyes and fingers on a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, which has built-in wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth streaming and hands-free calls, HD Radio, Bluelink+ remote access, and SiriusXM satellite radio capability. You can queue up great tunes or a Tennessee Volunteers basketball game in seconds. Premium features like a Bose speaker system, dynamic voice recognition, and the ability to pay for parking spaces from the touchscreen further elevate your tech game. The Santa Cruz is also at the cutting edge of driver assistance technology to aid you on any quest. Thanks to the Hyundai SmartSense suite, every Santa Cruz compact pickup has numerous standard driver assistance features; these include front collision assistance with pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alerts, blind spot collision warnings, lane-keeping assistance, lane-following assistance, driver attention warnings, safe exit warnings, rear occupancy alerts, and high-beam assistance. Other driver assistance features are available, such as advanced front collision assistance, blind-spot monitoring, highway driving assistance, and Smart Cruise Control. These are bonuses for a model that has scored a five-star NHTSA rating and an IIHS Top Safety Pick title, proving it's built to protect you wherever the weekend goes.

What intrigues you the most about the Santa Cruz? As the leading Hyundai dealer in Knoxville, we know the Santa Cruz's appeal is undeniable and well-deserved. This compact pickup defies convention in every way imaginable, from making history as Hyundai's first four-door truck to its unibody frame that heightens its efficiency and guarantees its SUV-like handling. The Santa Cruz showcases how Hyundai gives drivers the best of both worlds, with several notable updates for 2025 that add to its value and appeal. more #1. Bolder Styling With a Rugged Refresh Whether venturing into downtown Knoxville or neighboring areas like Karns, every outing will turn heads when you're behind the wheel of the 2025 Santa Cruz. From its unibody design to its history-making feat as Hyundai's first four-door truck, the Santa Cruz already garners plenty of attention. However, that attention skyrockets after its 2025 refresh. Hyundai transformed the Santa Cruz from a sleek pavement crawler to an athletic road warrior capable of handling life on and off the pavement. The 2025 Santa Cruz's rugged aesthetic is a culmination of updates, with many styling cues shared with the recently updated Tucson. The truck introduces a new front fascia complete with redesigned headlights and a menacing front grille, all complemented by new wheel designs and more vertical lines throughout the body that draw the eye upward. #2. Ready for Adventure in the New XRT Hyundai answers the growing demand for off-road-capable vehicles by expanding the Santa Cruz lineup with the XRT trim in 2025. The XRT readies the unibody truck for the trail, begging drivers to venture beyond the pavement and explore Knoxville's more rugged terrain. But how does the Santa Cruz XRT differentiate itself as the most adventurous? Slated as the fourth in the Santa Cruz's five-trim lineup, the Santa Cruz XRT is positioned below the top-tier Limited. Hyundai ensures the XRT exceeds expectations by proving it doesn't simply look the part of an adventurer but is competent on modest terrain. The Santa Cruz XRT accomplishes this with its increased approach angle, all-terrain tires, and HTRAC All-Wheel Drive that provides exceptional traction, all while the 281-hp 2.5L turbocharged engine delivers a steady stream of power. The Santa Cruz XRT has the potency and traction to explore new terrain, but its off-road components extend even further. The trim is instantly recognizable by its exclusive grille and front and rear bumpers, including integrated tow hooks in the front. The interior of the Santa Cruz XRT also features exclusive details and advanced technologies, like a Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor, which heighten your situational awareness and visibility on all types of terrain. #3. A Seamless Panoramic Dashboard Display The 2025 Santa Cruz introduces a significant update to its cabin that transforms the interior into a modern cockpit. Hyundai replaces the dual-screen infotainment system with a curved panoramic display that complements the redesigned dashboard and incorporates the sleeker, updated instrument panel. Depending on the trim, the Santa Cruz offers an immersive digital experience via a 12.3-inch driver information cluster and an all-new 12.3-inch touchscreen interface. The panoramic display enhances the Santa Cruz's cabin, but its benefits don't stop there. The system offers over-the-air software and firmware updates to ensure the Santa Cruz is operating with the latest technologies. For 2025, Hyundai makes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard on every trim while adding more convenience features, such as Hyundai Pay, a fingerprint scanner (for added security), Digital Key 2 Touch, and Bluelink+ Connected Car technology. These conveniences enhance your experience in the driver's seat by keeping you connected, engaged, and informed, whether you are running errands in downtown Knoxville or navigating your weekday commute along I-275. #4. Added Peace of Mind With New Safety Tech Hyundai's SmartSense safety suite is one of the most comprehensive in the industry, so how could it get any better? The 2025 Santa Cruz proves it's possible by expanding the suite with a Forward Attention Warning. The new addition complements many standard and available features, adding to the Santa Cruz's value and appeal for 2025. The SmartSense suite equips every Santa Cruz with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, a Blind-Spot Collision Warning, a Driver Attention Warning, and High Beam Assist. Other standard features include Lane-Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Safe Exit Warning, and Rear Occupant Alert. But what other features can you expect as you climb the Santa Cruz's five-trim lineup? Progressing from the SE and SEL to the SEL Activity, XRT, and Limited adds more advanced technologies. For example, mid- and top-tier trims add Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection; the Santa Cruz XLT and Limited also add a Blind-Spot View Monitor and Smart Cruise Control 2 with Stop & Go—a new addition for 2025, which is perfect for Knoxville and Karns drivers who spend a lot of time navigating congested highways since it can mitigate driver fatigue by adjusting the Santa Cruz's speed and steering. #5. Same Proven Powertrains With New Capabilities The 2025 Santa Cruz relies on the same proven powertrains, with Hyundai making one notable update for the year. The truck's standard powertrain is a 2.5L direct-injected inline-four engine that works with an eight-speed automatic transmission to produce 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. The pairing offers outstanding acceleration, making the Santa Cruz responsive and efficient with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 22 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on front-wheel drive models or 21 MPG and 29 MPG, respectively, with Hyundai's HTRAC All-Wheel Drive. For more excitement as you navigate life in Knoxville and the surrounding areas, look no further than the turbocharged 2025 Santa Cruz. Hyundai's 2.5L inline-four with a turbocharger skyrockets the output to 281 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque; the addition of an eight-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission puts paddle shifters on the steering wheel, giving you a physical connection to the turbocharged output. For 2025, Hyundai also introduces a Tow Mode, making it easier to take advantage of the Santa Cruz's maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. The Santa Cruz's turbocharged engine is only available with HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, making for a perfect pairing on trims like the XRT. The HTRAC system optimizes traction, giving you more control with its multi-mode system that fine-tunes the steering, throttle response, and other features to the situation and your performance needs. Moreover, the 2.5L turbocharged inline-four with HTRAC doesn't guzzle fuel, boasting an EPA-estimated 19 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway that guarantees you can go the distance on and off the pavement. Key Takeaways for the Santa Cruz's 2025 Update Hyundai introduced the Santa Cruz in 2022, wowing the world with its first four-door truck. Over the last few years, the Santa Cruz has earned widespread praise for its versatility, but Hyundai proves that its truck is only just getting started. The 2025 Santa Cruz introduces a more rugged design, an adventure-ready trim, and a tech-savvy interior that puts everything you need within reach without compromising its interior aesthetic. These updates are pivotal in keeping the Santa Cruz relevant and showcasing Hyundai's keen awareness of what drivers are looking for in a unibody truck. Hyundai's exceptional warranty coverage is icing on the Santa Cruz's already decadent packaging.

So, let's explore what makes this model stand out in a crowded field of competitors... Hybrid Power and Efficiency The 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid doesn't just stop at reducing fuel consumption; it redefines what you can expect from a hybrid SUV, powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter GDI engine paired with a high-capacity electric motor and a lithium-ion polymer battery. This powerful combination delivers a total system output of 231 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque. (Note that this same engine makes 268 hp and the same amount of torque for the PHEV setup.) Power is delivered through a 6-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive (AWD), giving you the right amount of oomph to get up and go. Speaking of the HTRAC AWD system, it adapts quickly to varying road conditions for optimal traction and stability. Even if you're cruising on rain-slicked streets or tackling rugged backroads near the Smoky Mountains, the Tucson Hybrid is ready to rise to the challenge. Its advanced suspension system further enhances ride quality, smoothing out even the bumpiest of roads. Add to that its strong towing capacity of up to 2,000 lbs, and you have a vehicle that's as versatile as it is efficient. But power is only half the story.

Its regenerative braking system recaptures energy as you drive, maximizing the powertrain's efficiency. Wherever you're headed, the Tucson Hybrid's balance of power and economy means you'll spend more time enjoying the journey and less time at the pump. A Cabin That Oozes Comfort The Tucson Hybrid's cabin stands out for its keen attention to detail and craftsmanship, as it provides generous space, high-quality materials, and intuitive features, making every moment on the road feel comfortable and connected. This cabin showcases a sleek and modern design, highlighted by a standard 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen display. With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, staying connected to your favorite apps, music, and navigation tools is streamlined. Hyundai also offers a premium Harman Kardon sound system for music lovers seeking top-tier audio quality. For extra convenience, the available voice recognition system lets you access essential features without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road. Comfort is key in this SUV, with available features like heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. The spacious second-row seats recline, allowing passengers to find their perfect position during long drives. There's plenty of cargo space when the rear seats are folded, creating ample room for everything from groceries to camping gear. An adjustable cargo floor and underfloor storage compartments further make organizing your belongings a cinch. Staying Safe With SmartSense Hyundai has long been a leader in automotive safety, and the 2025 Tucson Hybrid continues that tradition with a sweeping suite of advanced safety features. Hyundai SmartSense—the brand's collection of driver assist technologies—comes standard on this model, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind. Key features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, which can automatically apply the brakes if a potential collision is detected. Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist work together to help you stay centered in your lane; meanwhile, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist provides added visibility where you need it most. These features are incredibly helpful for safety, particularly in high-traffic areas. The Safe Exit Warning system is particularly valuable, especially to families, as it alerts passengers of approaching vehicles before they open their doors. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist detects and responds to vehicles in your path when you're in reverse. Hyundai's Driver Attention Warning system monitors driver behavior to provide alerts if signs of drowsiness or inattention are detected, making it an excellent feature for long road trips. Remote Smart Parking Assist allows you to park the Tucson Hybrid in tight spaces, even when you're standing outside the vehicle. For extra peace of mind, the available Surround View Monitor provides a 360-degree view of your surroundings, ensuring you can navigate tricky parking lots or driveways. A Design That Stands Out One glance at the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, and it's clear this SUV is made to turn heads. Hyundai's signature Parametric Dynamics design language is evident in the exterior aesthetics, characterized by angular lines, geometric shapes, and a prominent front grille that integrates LED daytime running lights.

The Tucson Hybrid offers several wheel options, including eye-catching 19-inch N Line Unique alloy wheels on the N Line trim that lend to its athletic stance. LED headlights and taillights come standard, providing excellent visibility and a modern look. Hyundai also offers a palette of vibrant exterior colors, allowing you to customize your SUV to reflect your personal style. The sleek design is functional, too, as the Tucson Hybrid's aerodynamic profile lessens drag, contributing to its high fuel efficiency. Integrated roof rails and an available hands-free smart liftgate add convenience and versatility, making it an ideal choice for those with active lifestyles.

When buying anything, we always want to get as much as we can for our money. This is why many drivers choose to purchase used vehicles—models with a reputation for sustaining quality across multiple years and hundreds of thousands of miles. With the SUV being the most popular auto class, many of these drivers specifically look at used SUVs for sale. more Here at Rusty Wallace Hyundai, we have a vast selection of used SUVs that encompass several makes and models and are among the best that the industry has to offer. Our used SUVs are held to high standards for quality, and many can provide you with economy and performance for much less than you would pay anywhere else. The following are seven picks we believe make for excellent pre-owned SUVs. The Nissan Pathfinder Few brands carry the reputation for innovation and quality that Nissan has built for itself over the years. Their fleet of cars and SUVs is among the most technologically advanced, and the Pathfinder is one of their best SUVs. Designed to be incredibly versatile, the Pathfinder suits that unique balance of performance and fuel economy that so many drivers are keen to take advantage of. The Pathfinder accommodates five passengers and has tuned a beefy V6 powertrain to get strong performance and conservative fuel consumption. A towing capacity of 6,000 lbs makes it ideal for recreation use and a reliable workhorse for people from all walks of life. The Pathfinder is easy to handle off the road as well as on it, making it ideal for the daily commute and any extracurricular activities you might have planned for the weekend. The Kia Sportage In recent years, compact SUVs have gained much popularity among drivers due to their tight dimensions and ability to offer all the advantages that larger models provide but on a smaller scale. The Kia Sportage is among the best-designed of these smaller-sized SUVs and is a favorite among many drivers who enjoy comfort, storage, and an agile means of transportation. ​​The Kia Sportage has an available turbocharged engine and can be found in either front- or all-wheel drive, so depending on your preference for handling, there's a version of this SUV that can satisfy you. Besides its nimble and agile nature, the Sportage offers a discernible amount of style and a refined interior that makes it as fun to look at as it is to drive. Kia's vehicles have a reputation for lasting well past the threshold of 100,000 miles, making the Sportage a wise and economical investment. The Hyundai Sante Fe Drivers in the market for something that supplies more seating and storage than some highly popular compact models can find it in the Hyundai Santa Fe. Hyundai's midsize offering checks all boxes regarding the various efficiency, comfort, and tech attributes drivers look for. The Santa Fe benefits from multiple savvy features accessible via its intuitive infotainment screen. It also has exceptional fuel economy figures (with both turbocharged and hybrid powertrains available), is smooth and agile on the road, and can handle the stop-and-go traffic patterns of city driving as well as rugged adventures off the beaten path. The Ford Escape The scaled-down and economical SUV segment we know today might not have achieved such popularity had it not been for the Ford Escape. Debuting during the early years of the SUV boom and designed smaller than the Explorer, the Escape proved that compact SUVs could be just as viable as their larger counterparts. The Escape is the ideal compromise between agile handling and exceptional performance, courtesy of a standard turbocharged engine that's conservative with its fuel consumption. With its smaller design, the Escape has no trouble getting around town while providing plenty of seating and storage. Ford's dedication to innovation also means that the Escape is outfitted with all the various technologies that modern drivers look for with their vehicles. The Jeep Grand Cherokee A notable aspect of SUVs is that their designs cater to a wide range of drivers with unique preferences. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the perfect example of an SUV that's just as known for its rough-and-tumble abilities as its refined sophistication. Jeep vehicles have refined interiors that are spacious and comfortable, and they have access to some of the most treasured tech features, such as built-in navigation and high-end stereo systems, which are perfect for drivers with a penchant for the finer things in life. With powerful powertrains and Jeep's renowned four-wheel drivetrain, the Grand Cherokee is one of the most distinguished and respected forces in the world of off-roading. The ​​Honda Pilot Midsize SUVs that have three spacious rows and plenty of room for cargo are often associated with domestic manufacturers such as Ford, Chevy, Dodge, GMC, and Jeep. However, many imported models—most notably the Honda Pilot—have proven to be just as capable of providing the same level of space and savvy. The Pilot can be outfitted to accommodate seven or eight passengers. Besides offering many of the practical items that drivers look for in an SUV, such as safety features to ensure peace of mind when traveling, Honda's three-row SUV is stocked with a plethora of tools to make any time spent behind the wheel enjoyable, such as high-end stereo systems and compatibility with Apple and Android products, assuring endless access to the technology that we use daily. The Subaru Ascent A common factor with many SUVs is that they can be equipped with all-wheel drive, but this is normally achievable for a higher price. Luckily, this is not the case with Subaru; as one of the most adaptable brands in the industry, Subaru has made a name for itself with its performance-oriented Boxer engine and its standard symmetrical all-wheel drivetrains, which grace the bulk of its entire fleet. This all-wheel drive can handle treacherous road conditions and facilitate off-roading experiences. Furthermore, the Ascent, which provides three rows of seating, is packed with a generous host of standard driving assistance features that some of its competitors would obscure behind higher prices and trim levels.

At Rusty Wallace Hyundai, we believe it should be easy, informative, and enjoyable.

Purchasing a car is a balancing act. You don't want to spend too much money, but you also want to make sure the vehicle you're getting is satisfying, accommodating, and reliable. Ideally, you'd like to have some higher-end design and tech features, but the most important thing is making sure you have a vehicle in good condition with guaranteed longevity ahead. We understand the discernment process. If you don't need a full-size vehicle for work or family, the best way to get nice features at an affordable rate is to look for a used sedan. more While a lot of people think of sedans as mere commuter vehicles, many models provide numerous and generous trim options, allowing for luxury features that rival many sports cars while still keeping the price within reason. Purchasing used can further reduce the price, and if you're strategic about your approach, you won't end up with a model that feels old or outdated. One of the best ways to get a great deal on used cars for sale is to purchase from a more recent model year, ensuring that you get new, up-to-date features while knocking a good chunk off the price of what you would pay for a comparable new model. If you jump right in and start looking at used sedans, you might be a bit confused and overwhelmed by all of the options on the market. So, to help guide your process, we've developed a list of great sedans to look for, all of which will provide an outstanding balance of excellence, efficiency, and affordability. Take a look below for some great options to keep your eye out for! The Hyundai Sonata The Hyundai Sonata is a prime example of a high-value sedan, as it offers premier comfort, technology, and safety features on top of having a price that pre-owned shoppers can get behind. The Sonata leans into Hyundai's finer side in terms of design, and anybody looking for the highest luxury and the best cost should look into the 2020 Sonata specifically. This iteration of the Sonata was a highlight of the year, making significant steps forward with the launch of the model's eighth generation. Leaning into luxury features in a way that was unprecedented for the Sonata, the 2020 model offers something more refined than previous ones, even going so far as to incorporate hidden lighting lamps, appearing as chrome textures when turned off and enlivening the vehicle when turned on. The 2020 Sonata also has plenty of up-to-date tech features, meaning you will be far from behind the times even when buying used. With a 10.25-inch HD touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, the 2020 Sonata will keep you well-connected throughout your drive. For any music lovers out there, the 2020 Sonata was the first model to collaborate with Bose, offering the best audio experience on the market. With highly advanced tech, a pre-owned 2020 Sonata will certainly never feel like an old vehicle. The Sonata has been one of Hyundai's best-selling nameplates for many years. The 2020 model shows why this is so: a luxurious, tech-forward driving experience in a sedan body at an affordable price. That's the ideal combination when it comes to nailing the balancing act of purchasing a used vehicle. The Hyundai Elantra The Elantra is Hyundai's other premiere sedan model. While it has many similarities to the Sonata, the main difference is that it is a bit smaller, offering a more compact maneuverability, which can be a positive for those living in urban areas where space considerations are a daily factor. The Elantra and Sonata, however, are very similar in terms of design and technology features, especially when comparing the 2020 Sonata to the 2021 Elantra. Just as the Sonata was released "all-new" for the 2020 model year, the Elantra was "all-new" for 2021, with its seventh generation debuting. Not only did the Elantra make significant progress for the 2021 model year, but it also introduced a completely new concept in the Elantra Hybrid. If fuel efficiency and saving money are your thing, the 2021 Elantra Hybrid is one ride you'll want to consider heavily. Able to reach an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 54 MPG combined, this highly efficient Elantra will be able to provide impressive capability, longevity, and long-term savings. While the cost of the hybrid may be a bit more upfront, the over-time savings on fuel will be huge, meaning that you can better manage your finances over the years. Hybrid driving is heightened driving, especially when you're in a sporty, design- and tech-forward sedan like the Elantra. Though the Elantra may have slightly smaller dimensions than the Sonata, it certainly keeps up in terms of style and capability. The Chevy Malibu The Chevy Malibu has long been known as one of the market's most popular sedans. First hitting the market sixty years ago in 1964, the Malibu has maintained a solid run throughout its life. As GM has announced that it is ceasing production of the Malibu—a huge loss for the automotive industry—this is a model you'll want to seriously consider pre-owned, as it will soon be a highly sought-after piece of automotive history. The key factors of the Malibu are Chevy's high-end design and award-winning in-vehicle technology. If you look over the Malibu's past several model years, you'll find some popular design-oriented variants, such as the Midnight Edition and Redline Edition. With the Midnight Edition leaning into the mystique of an all-black aesthetic and the Redline Edition focusing on fierce, sporty design, the Malibu offers some cutting-edge variants that will make your vehicle a place you want to be. These unique interior designs, combined with Chevy's industry-leading technology, will make for a great driving experience. With connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto going back several model years, even used Malibus will have you well-connected from start to finish. The award-winning Chevy Safety Assist suite—present on most used Malibus—provides innovative driver assistance tools, including enhanced automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, and others. The Malibu is a smart vehicle with exciting design variants. It's the perfect sedan for those looking for a reliable, trusted vehicle with a great reputation. Since Chevy won't be producing new ones anymore, now is the time to jump on a used Malibu! Finding the Right Model Purchasing a used vehicle is a balancing act, which can be achieved if you approach it strategically. By seeking out models that provide the gamut of all the features you're looking for, you can have it all under one roof. Purchasing used can also lower the price tag, allowing you to make sure your money is routed to where you most need it. Whether you're seeking a Hyundai like the beloved Sonata or Elantra or another model from a different brand, looking into the specifics of the design and tech features, as well as any options for maximized efficiency (such as a hybrid powertrain), will help you discover the best model for your needs and desires. With a little bit of research (and maybe a test drive), you'll be able to find a vehicle that strikes the balance and gets you the features you want at a price you can appreciate.

Three-row SUVs make excellent family vehicles. They have the extra seating and cargo space for the demands of an active life full of sports events, vacations, and the daily commute to work and school. Their fuel efficiency is better than their larger full-size siblings, and they make cost-effective yet highly satisfying vehicles for daily life. more If you’ve been looking at the Hyundai Palisade for sale, you’ve probably heard a bit about the Mazda CX-90 too. Both have seen success in the highly competitive three-row SUV category. Which of these is the superior choice for busy families on the go? The details paint a clear picture. The Basics Before we get into detailed comparisons, let’s take a look at the basic stats of the Palisade and the CX-90. As stated above, both are part of the three-row SUV category. The Mazda CX-90 is the next evolution of the CX-9, first appearing in 2023. The Hyundai Palisade is a few years older and first rolled off the assembly line in 2020. The 2025 Mazda CX-90 has an MSRP of $37,845 for the base 3.3 Turbo Select trim and climbs to $56,450 for the top-tier 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus trim. The CX-90 is only available in all-wheel drive but has two different outputs for its 3.3L inline-six engine. The EPA-estimated fuel economy is 24 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. The 2025 Hyundai Palisade has an MSRP of $36,800 for the base SE trim and reaches $54,100 for the top-tier Calligraphy Night trim, making it a bit more affordable than the CX-90. It is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and every trim comes standard with the same 3.8L V6 engine, so you won't have to pay more to unlock the vehicle's full potential. Seating & Passenger Space Having enough space for everyone is an important factor in a family vehicle. You won’t just be driving your kids, but your kids plus their friends, teammates, classmates, and quite possibly a dog. While both the Palisade and the CX-90 seat up to eight, the amount of space for those passengers is very different. The CX-90 has 141.6 cubic feet of passenger volume, while the Palisade comes in at 155.3 cubic feet. Passenger volume matters more than you might think. It’s the indicator of how much room the interior has for passengers to sit, no matter how many seats are present. Headroom is another of the most important indicators of comfort for your passengers. The Hyundai offers 40.7 inches, 40.1 inches, and 37.8 inches for the first, second, and third rows, respectively. With the Mazda, those numbers are reduced to 39.7, 39.3, and 36.9 inches, respectively. That’s significantly less and could make the difference between a comfortable ride and a cramped one. If we follow the number trail a little further, we see that the Palisade continues to shine in leg room with 44.1 inches in the front and 31.4 inches in the very back compared to Mazda’s 41.7 inches and 30.4 inches. The hip room and shoulder room measurements tell a similar story. Cargo Space Cargo space is another important factor when choosing a three-row SUV for your family. Let’s be honest; your kids, their friends, and even the dog come with gear that needs to be hauled from place to place. Plus, you need space to get groceries, bring home items for the house, and even toss in a few bags of soil for the garden. This another area where the Palisade shows its dominance over the CX-90 The Mazda comes with either a two-person or three-person third-row seating arrangement. In the variation with two passengers, the cargo volume breaks down to 15.9 cubic feet with all the seats upright, 40.1 cubic feet with the third-row seats folded down, and 75.2 cubic feet with both the second and third-row seats folded down. When the third row accommodates three passengers, the numbers change slightly to offer a maximum of 74.2 cubic feet. The Palisade offers a larger cargo volume. It breaks down to 18 cubic feet with all the seats upright, 45.8 cubic feet with the third-row seats folded down, and 86.4 cubic feet with both the second and third-row seats folded down. That’s a difference of over 11 cubic feet with the two back rows down. Convenience When you’re spending a lot of time in the car, even the smallest convenience features can make a big difference. Take USB ports, for instance. In the Mazda, there are four in the base trim––two in the front row and two in the second row. The Palisade has five, three in the front row and two in the second row. Another small but helpful touch is the extra mini pocket in the Palisade’s map pockets. The Mazda’s map pockets lack this upgrade. The bigger features matter too, of course, and add up to some serious quality-of-life upgrades. The rearview mirror on the Palisade automatically dims to help prevent the lights of any traffic behind you from causing distracting and visibility-decreasing glare. On the CX-90, the day/night dimming feature must be activated manually. The second-row seat also slides with the touch of a button in the Palisade, while it must be done manually in the CX-90. Who wants to put extra stress on their backs before a big trip? You’ve got better things to do with your vacation. Safety When you’re looking for a vehicle for your family, safety has to come first and foremost. We’re living in an era where every new model year brings new advances in automotive safety technology. To prevent collisions or mitigate their damage, most manufacturers now have their own driver safety assist suite (the i-ACTIVSENSE suite for Mazda, while Hyundai has SmartSense), but it’s not enough for a vehicle to have one of these suites. As with most things, the details are what makes the difference. The Mazda CX-90 has eight airbags: Dual front, front side-impact airbags and side-impact air curtains, and knee airbags for the driver and front seat passenger. The Hyundai Palisade raises that number to nine, with the following breakdown: dual front airbags, one driver knee airbag, two front-side impact, two second-row rear side, and two side curtain airbags. One airbag might not seem like a lot of difference until it’s covering a vulnerable area near your loved one. The Final Verdict While the Mazda CX-90 is a fine vehicle, the features it has are geared more toward professionals who want a cool yet sophisticated car, carpool commuters, and drivers who are looking to tow or offroad. The Hyundai Palisade has the room to comfortably drive around families, Little League teams, groceries, and sports gear without compromising passenger comfort or safety. Overall, it has the widest range of cargo space, comfort features, and conveniences that make time spent on the road easier. When you have an active family, you know that life can get complicated. One thing that shouldn’t be complicated is your vehicle. The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is here to help everyone and everything get where it’s going headache-free in a fun-to-drive, big-on-features package. Pay us a visit, and we'll show you just how well it can accommodate your family's needs.

When you know, you know—and large SUV buyers who refuse to compromise on safety, luxury, and style know that when it's time to decide, finding a 2025 Hyundai Palisade for sale is the best choice. Rated a nearly perfect 9.5/10 by the editors at Car and Driver, the Palisade delivers big on sophistication without breaking the bank. Hyundai offers the 2025 Palisade in seven distinct trims that range in price from the mid-$30k area to just over $50k, which means buyers can dial in the exact features and level of luxury they want. more Competing in the cluttered three-row SUV segment isn't easy, thanks to a segment that's full of well-known nameplates that have been around for decades. Ironically, that's one of the reasons the Palisade has shot to the top of the heap: buyers are tired of the same old models. They want variety, and the Palisade stands out for its well-balanced combination of utility and elegance. With comfortable seating for up to eight passengers, the Palisade works well for large families. If hauling a boat or a small RV is part of your lifestyle, Hyundai's largest SUV answers the call with a 5,000-lb towing capacity. The Palisade's whisper-quiet cabin is infused with technology, including a massive infotainment touchscreen (standard across all trims) and easy smartphone connectivity. Thanks to the automaker's industry-leading 5-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty, which includes three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance, reliability is all but guaranteed. With everything the Palisade has to offer, the only question left is, which trim is best for you? Standard Features on All Palisade Trims The 2025 Hyundai Palisade offers a feature-rich option for every buyer, including a surprisingly well-equipped base trim that incorporates several key convenience and comfort features. All Palisades include standard automatic headlights and High Beam Assist, which automatically switches between low- and high-beam settings so drivers can focus on the road. Heated side mirrors with integrated LED turn-signal indicators are also standard, as is a smart key—called a Proximity Key—that unlocks the doors hands-free as you approach the vehicle. Inside, the power one-touch second-row seat slides forward for easy access to the third row. All Palisade trims include the same oversized 12.3-inch touchscreen, along with available SiriusXM radio. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity are also standard. Buyers of any trim can activate the available Wi-Fi hotspot so the family can stay connected and entertained on weekend road trips. Hyundai also includes several standard driver assistance technologies—including Automatic Emergency Braking, which is fine-tuned to detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists—as well as parking assist and lane keeping assist. Extra Features Across the Trim Lineup You probably don't need multicolor ambient cabin lighting, but if you choose either the Limited or high-end Calligraphy trims, you can choose from 64 different colors to align with your mood. A dual-panel sunroof also comes standard on the three highest Palisade trims. While not unique, the sunroof fills the entire cabin with natural light. Also included in upper trims is an in-cabin intercom system, which will come in handy when the siblings need a referee and you don't have time to pull over. Also worth mentioning is the 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system, standard on the Limited and Calligraphy trims. QuantumLogic Surround Sound is custom-tailored to the Palisade's cabin, and it has Clari-Fi Music Restoration Technology, a patented tool that analyzes and corrects audio content for a more crisp, dynamic sound. An estimated 90% of the nuance of digitally compressed music is lost during the compression process; Clari-Fi restores that lost audio detail, even for satellite radio. The SE Hyundai's most affordable Palisade trim, the SE, comes with a powerful 291-hp V6 engine, seating for eight passengers (including a second-row bench seat), and a massive 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with standard navigation. LED headlights and Daytime Running Lights keep you visible to other motorists and illuminate the road with precision. Small finishes, like the brushed chrome door handles, add a touch of elegance to the Palisade SE's exterior. The SEL As Car and Driver's choice for the best value and most efficient configuration, the SEL adds H-Tex seat trimming, a fast-charging wireless smartphone charger, and available all-wheel drive. You can also use your smartphone as a digital key when you select the SEL. For added safety, parents of little ones and fur babies will appreciate the standard Advanced Rear Occupant Alert, which uses sensors to detect movement in the rear seats and alerts the driver once the vehicle is parked and the engine is turned off. The XRT Moving up to the mid-range Palisade XRT unlocks a handful of extras that punch up its curb appeal. Standard 20-inch trim-exclusive wheels and a dark front grille give the XRT an edgier look. Hyundai also adds a standard Parking Distance Warning system that works in forward and reverse, alerting you when you're approaching an obstacle as you park. A standard Surround View Monitor offers a bird's-eye 360-degree view of the area surrounding your vehicle—a super helpful feature when squeezing into a tight parking space. The SEL Premium With an MSRP in the mid-$40k range, the SEL offers standard second-row captain's chairs, which is a great choice for families with older kids who like a little extra elbow room. In addition to 20-inch alloy wheels and Hyundai's handy Surround View Monitor, the SEL Premium also adds a Blind-Spot View Monitor, which displays a live view of both blind spots (driver and passenger) to assist with changing lanes. The Limited Are you looking for more high-end luxury features without passing the $50k threshold? The Limited achieves both, coming standard with leather seating and heated third-row seats, which might help tamp down sibling squabbles about who gets stuck in the very back. Also standard on the Limited trim is a 10-inch head-up display, which projects key driving data, such as rate of speed and navigation cues, at eye level on the windshield in full color. The Calligraphy The penultimate Hyundai Palisade, the Calligraphy, embraces luxury with standard buttery soft Nappa leather seating surfaces in black or beige, upscale 20-inch wheels, and a futuristic driver's seat that takes comfort to the stratosphere. Called the Ergo Motion Driver's Seat, this seat has seven air pockets, which adjust to optimize driver posture and stave off fatigue. The seat also has a massage feature that targets the lumbar, pelvic, and side areas, and there's also a stretch feature that can actually stretch the driver's back—a feature that can only be appreciated once you've experienced it. The Calligraphy Night Adjacent to the top of the Palisade's trim range is the premium variant, the Calligraphy Night. With all the standard luxury and convenience features found in the Calligraphy, Hyundai adds a range of exterior finishes to punch up the drama. These include a dark chrome front grille that matches the standard dark chrome rear bumper, unique 20-inch black liquid wheels, and a completely black interior with microfiber suede seating surfaces. A 2025 Hyundai Palisade for Every Buyer With seven trims to choose from and a price range that remains affordable, especially compared with the competition, the Palisade offers buyers who need a three-row SUV a competent, luxurious option with the best warranty in the business. Combining reliability with fun-to-drive features and a spacious cabin, Hyundai delivers an SUV that fits just about any lifestyle. Car and Driver said it best: "It's difficult to find glaring faults in the 2025 Hyundai Palisade." The Hyundai Palisade ticks the versatility box with its configurable cabin, seating for up to eight, and cavernous cargo area, not to mention the standard trailer pre-wiring and sway control system, which makes hooking up the boat and heading to the lake house a breeze. Opt for all-wheel drive—available on all trims—and your Palisade will own the road in inclement weather. Hyundai's largest SUV will get you and your family and friends where you need to go safely and in style.

The Santa Cruz SE & SEL The first two trim levels, the SE and SEL, both come with an inline four-cylinder engine, which will give you 191 hp and 181 lbs of torque. Front-wheel drive with an eight-speed automatic is standard, as well as drive mode selection. The two trims with this engine can tow up to 3,500 lbs and have an independent suspension. They differ, however, when it comes to things like comfort, convenience, and tech. The SE comes standard with projector BI-LED headlights, high beam assist, a lockable under-bed storage compartment, a multi-functional tailgate, front dual USB ports, and a six-way adjustable driver's seat, among other features. The SEL builds on that to include side mirrors with LED turn-signal indicators, heated side mirrors, a proximity key with push button start, power driver's lumbar support, heated front seats, and Sirius XM Satellite Radio. Many drivers opt for the first trim level because they don't want all the bells and whistles that come with higher trim levels.

Folks who live in Powell know the value of a safe and economical vehicle. Whether you are commuting every day for work in Knoxville or are ferrying the kids to Powell Station Park, you are going to want a vehicle that you can rely on. The 2025 Hyundai Tucson is the ideal compact SUV for all types of Powell drivers, which is why it is the right one for you. Hyundai has been offering the Tucson for discerning drivers since 2005, with the current model part of the fourth generation, which started in 2022. That was also the year that Hyundai expanded the lineup to include hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, giving Powell drivers even better fuel economy than the already impressive numbers of the Tucson. more If you are looking for a Hyundai dealer near Powell, then Rusty Wallace Hyundai is the place for you. We are an authorized Hyundai dealer featuring the full lineup of new models, as well as an extensive inventory of used Hyundai vehicles to choose from. We are right in Knoxville, just a short drive from Powell, so you can stop in any time and make your next vehicle a 2025 Tucson. New Style Cues The most noticeable change in the Tucson for the 2025 model year is its exterior. The grille and front bumper have been given a more chiseled appearance, making the Tucson look more sporty and aggressive. In addition, the wheels on the Tucson have a more geometric pattern, which carries over the new styling from the front bumper. Finally, the designers at Hyundai have made the Tucson even more aerodynamic than before. This is in keeping with how Hyundai emphasizes form alongside function. Two Hybrid Options The standard engine on the 2025 Tucson is a 2.5-liter I-4 gas engine. This comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The top-tier Limited trim of the Tucson has column-mounted Shift-by-Wire and paddle shifters, allowing you to emulate a manual transmission without having to deal with working a clutch and stick shift. This engine has a dual overhead camshaft configuration, giving you 16 valves for the Tucson's four cylinders. The engine features Idle Stop & Go, which will shut off the engine when you come to a stop at a light or in traffic and then restart it when you take pressure off the brake pedal. This will help reduce fuel consumption and emissions when idling. The engine uses a combination of direct injection and multi-port fuel injection to deliver 187 hp at 6,100 RPM and 178 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM. The Tucson comes with a choice of front- and all-wheel drive. Choosing front-wheel drive will give you improved fuel economy, with the front-wheel drive Tucson providing an EPA-estimated 28 MPG combined. If you opt to add the available HTRAC all-wheel drive, you will get improved traction, especially in inclement weather. The Tucson with all-wheel drive will give you a solid 26 MPG combined; this is the kind of fuel economy that most commuters crave. For Powell drivers looking for exceptional fuel economy, Hyundai offers the 2025 Tucson with two different hybrid powertrains. The standard hybrid features a 1.6-liter turbocharged I-4 gas engine with an electric motor. The plug-in hybrid adds a 13.8-kWh battery pack with the benefit of recharging the battery at home or on the road at a public DC Fast-Charging station. Exceptional Cabin Space The Hyundai Tucson's category may be compact SUVs, but there is nothing compact about this model's interior. The cabin seats up to five, providing a truly spacious 108.2 cu.ft. of room to stretch out in. The Tucson may be the most well-balanced model in its class, with a near-perfect apportionment of space between the front and back rows. The front row has 38.3 inches of headroom and 41.4 inches of legroom, while the passengers seated in the back are sure to be pleased with 39.5 inches of headroom and 41.3 inches of legroom. This is why the Tucson is ideal for young families in Powell, as well as retirees who want a little extra space in the back when taking the grandkids out for ice cream. Heated front-row seats come standard on all trims of the 2025 Tucson except the base SE, which will come in handy on cold mornings. The Tucson Limited adds heated rear seats, as well as ventilated front seats, for added comfort on warm days. You also get very comfortable seating surfaces on the Tucson that vary depending on the trim level. The SE and SEL have cloth seats, while the SEL Convenience and XRT trims feature Hi-Tex trimmed seats.

This intelligent system monitors vehicle inputs more than 100 times per second to perfectly determine the right amount of torque required at each wheel. It can instantly redistribute power between the front and rear axles to help you remain in command on slippery, wet, icy, and snowy roads. Not many drivers think of a midsize sedan as a vehicle capable of managing a variety of road conditions, but the Sonata defies that expectation. You’ll also enjoy the drive mode selector in the SEL. It allows you to choose between Normal, Sport, Smart, and Custom modes. Normal mode will balance performance and fuel economy and is the mode you will likely use most of your time. Sport mode boosts driving dynamics for a more thrilling behind-the-wheel feel, while Smart mode improves fuel efficiency. On the driver assist front, the SEL trim comes standard with a generous suite of features. With features such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Smart Cruise Control, and Blind-Spot Collision Warning, the SEL is more than ready to help you stay alert and avoid common collisions in a variety of environments.

The driver and front passenger will enjoy heated front seats, and everyone will sit on premium cloth upholstery. The SEL trim also has a convenient hands-free smart trunk release.

As you can see, there is nothing basic about the base-level trim. 2024 Sonata N-Line The N-Line is the Sonata’s performance-oriented trim. If you are looking for a nearly track-ready model that will offer a thrilling behind-the-wheel experience and striking styling, consider this fun and exhilarating trim. In this trim, you will jump up to a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which has an impressive output of 290 hp. You’ll enjoy a wet dual-clutch transmission that uses oil to lubricate the clutch plates and maintain the ideal temperature for critical performance components at all times.

It is compatible with certain Apple, Google, and Samsung devices. Additionally, you may share the key with up to three other drivers.

It offers an upgraded interior, including leather seating surfaces, a leather steering wheel, and a leatherette-wrapped dashboard. It has a panoramic sunroof, but it also has rear side-window sunshades for times your passengers want a cool and shaded cabin. You’ll even enjoy rain-sensing wipers that can detect the first drops of rainfall and automatically turn on in response. You’ll listen to your tunes, podcasts, and audiobooks on a Bose premium sound system. You can continue to create the vibe you want using the 64-color ambient lighting.
