NEW FOR 2016:

- All-new model.

For 2016, hybrid technology migrates to the latest generation Hyundai Sonata. The midsize sedan gets the same styling, interior, and chassis changes that the conventional model launched last year. It will also be joined by the brand’s first plug-in hybrid version, which will go on sale later in the year.

The latest Sonata Hybrid boasts a stiffer chassis, and a considerably smoother ride thanks to a re-tuned suspension setup. Although the exterior design has a few more corners than the outgoing model, it has less drag. The aerodynamically optimized bodywork has active grille shutters to help the sedan cut through the air with a coefficient rating of 0.24 – a figure that’s best in class.

Under the hood, the Sonata Hybrid now features a smaller 2.0-litre direct-injected motor in place of the older 2.4-litre engine. To compensate, the Sonata Hybrid features beefier electrical components – the 38 kW (up from 35 kW) electric motor is fed by a 56 kW / 1.62 kWh lithium-polymer battery. Total net horsepower is comparable to the old model – 193 hp vs. 199.

For the Plug-in version, Hyundai has upgraded the electric motor to a 50 kW unit, while the battery pack has an increased capacity of 68 kW / 9.8 kWh. Compared to the standard Hybrid, the Plug-in has slightly more juice on tap at 202 hp. In terms of all-electric range, the Sonata offers up 34 km of pure EV driving, and takes about five hours to charge from flat on a 110-volt outlet, and 2.5 to three hours on a 240-volt plug.

Though the standard Sonata Hybrid can’t quite match the Camry Hybrid in terms of in-city fuel economy, it handily trumps any other midsize hybrid on the highway. It’s also a considerably more practical machine – its 60/40 split folding seats fold completely flat into the floor, and trunk space leads the segment at 380L. The larger battery pack of the Plug-in model sees trunk space drop to a still-appreciable 280L, though the rear seats do not fold down.

The Sonata Hybrid is available in three trims: Base, Limited, Ultimate.

The Plug-in Hybrid is available exclusively in Ultimate trim.

The Sonata Hybrid includes 16-inch aerodynamically optimized aluminum wheels, LED daytime running lights, LED brake lights, power heated side mirrors with LED turn signal indicators, proximity key with push-button trunk, hands-free trunk release, power windows with driver’s auto up/down, automatic headlights, cloth upholstery, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, six-speaker AM/FM/CD player with USB port, auxiliary port, Bluetooth, and a 5.0-inch touchscreen display, 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster display, reverse camera, cruise control, windshield wiper de-icer, dual-zone climate control, blind spot monitoring system, lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and selectable drive modes.

Hybrid Limited adds 17-inch aluminum wheels, rear side roller blinds, leather upholstery, leatherette dashboard and door trim, adjustable heated rear seats, auto-dimming rear-view mirrors with integrated garage door opener, 60/40 split folding rear seats, aluminum door sill plates, LED interior lighting, seven-speaker premium audio system, panoramic sunroof, and an 8.0-inch display screen with navigation.

The Ultimate model builds on Limited with bi-xenon headlamps with high-beam assist, lane-departure warning, forward collision warning, eight-way power driver’s seat, six-way power front passenger’s seat, driver memory seat, ventilated front seats, nine-speaker Infinity premium audio system, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, electronic parking brake with vehicle auto-hold, and rear park assist.

The Plug-in Hybrid includes all the content of the Hybrid Ultimate, and adds a plug-in charging cable with port, but loses the rear folding seats, panoramic sunroof, LED interior lighting, adjustable rear head restraints, rear window sun shades, and rear console air vents.

Recall Information

Safety recalls issued by the manufacturer and Transport Canada for this vehicle model.

Recall #

Date

System Affected

Model Years

Manufacturer Recall #: R0180 (11D021)

Units Affected: 178064

Type: Safety TC

Details:

Issue: 
Hyundai Auto Canada is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. 
Note: This only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L Nu GDI engine. For the Sonata model, only the Sonata Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models are affected by this campaign. This is an expansion of R0180 (Transport Canada #2021-575). Any vehicle that received a software update under campaign R0180 does not require this update. 

Safety Risk: 
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of an accident. An engine failure could also create the risk of a fire. 

Corrective Actions: 
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module. 
Note: Hyundai recommends that you should always follow the correct vehicle maintenance schedule, which is printed in the Owner's Manual. If you experience unusual engine noise, reduced power, or a check engine/oil warning light, Hyundai advises you to immediately visit a Hyundai dealership to have your vehicle diagnosed.

Manufacturer Recall #: R0199 (11D206)

Units Affected: 30525

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, an intermittent problem could cause the turn signals to activate in the opposite direction from what a driver intends. For example, when the driver uses the right turn signal, the left signal could turn on. 
Note: For 2016 and 2017 models, the Sonata Hybrid and Sonata Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models are also affected by this recall.  

Safety Risk: 
Turn signals that do not work properly may cause confusion and could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Action: 
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealer to update the Smart Junction Box software.

Manufacturer Recall #: R0180 (11D021)

Units Affected: 152924

Type: Superseded

Details:

This recall was replaced by Transport Canada Recall No. 2022-244. 

Issue: 
Hyundai Auto Canada is conducting a Product Improvement Campaign that provides an update to the engine control module to detect potential problems before an engine fails. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. 
Note: This only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L Nu GDI engine. For the Sonata model, only the Sonata Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models are affected by this campaign. All vehicles previously included in TC # 2021-034 are now part of this new campaign. 

Safety Risk: 
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of an accident. An engine failure could also create the risk of a fire. 

Corrective Actions: 
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the engine control module. 
Note: Hyundai recommends that you should always follow the correct vehicle maintenance schedule, which is printed in the Owner's Manual. If you experience unusual engine noise, reduced power, or a check engine/oil warning light, Hyundai advises you to immediately visit a Hyundai dealership to have your vehicle diagnosed.

Manufacturer Recall #: R0195 (11D153)

Units Affected: 15963

Type: Compliance Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a part in the trunk release latch could fail. If this happens, the emergency trunk release located inside the trunk compartment may not work properly. This could prevent a person that is trapped inside the trunk from opening it. 
Note: For the 2016 model year Sonata, only the Sonata Hybrid is affected by this recall. 

Safety Risk: 
If a person is closed inside the trunk compartment, they may not be able to get out. This could create a risk of injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the trunk latch assembly.

Manufacturer Recall #: R0177

Units Affected: 14549

Type: Safety TC

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles equipped with a 1.6 L GDI, 2.0 L GDI, or 2.4 L MPI engine, the connecting rod bearings could wear prematurely. As a result, there could be an abnormal knocking noise from the engine and/or the oil pressure warning light may turn on. If you continue to drive the vehicle with worn connecting rod bearings, the engine could fail. An engine failure would cause a sudden loss of power with an inability to restart. In some cases, a damaged connecting rod could puncture the engine block and cause an oil leak. 
Note: For the Sonata model, only the Sonata Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models are affected by this recall. 
Additional Note: Engine compartment fires can happen for many different reasons. In some cases, there is too much damage to find the cause of a fire. 

Safety Risk: 
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Oil that leaks onto a hot component could cause a fire. 

Corrective Actions: 
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer for an engine inspection test, to determine if there is bearing damage. If damage is found, the engine will be replaced. Dealers will also update the software for the engine control module. 
Note: Hyundai recommends that you should always follow the correct vehicle maintenance schedule, which is printed in the Owner's Manual.
