hyundai sonata review 2015

The 2015 Hyundai Sonata is the sensible shoes of mid-size sedans—comfortable, roomy, and surprisingly well turned-out, just not one for back-road heroics.

Cabin space is generous front and rear, the boot is family-holiday big, and the ride favours calm over corner-carving, which is exactly what most buyers actually want.

Equipment levels were strong for the money at the time, with a clear infotainment layout and proper ergonomics; newer tech like phone mirroring arrived later, so check the spec of the car you’re eyeing.

Engines are smooth and relaxed rather than thrilling, paired to a conventional auto that does the job without drama, and refinement on the highway is pleasantly hush-hush.

Weak spots? Steering feel is lukewarm and the chassis gets flustered when rushed, plus tyres and alignment matter for ride quality—test one on coarse-chip roads.

Overall, it’s a quietly competent commuter with big-car comfort and small-drama running costs, which is rather the point.
