Explore the Hyundai Sonata at Preston Hyundai of Boardman
The midsize sedan segment may have shrunk, but the Sonata keeps making a genuine case for itself with bold styling and a cabin that still feels like a step up from the segment's reputation for playing it safe. For 2026, Hyundai simplifies the trim lineup rather than reinventing the car. Preston Hyundai of Boardman carries the gas-powered Sonata for Mahoning Valley drivers who want a genuinely stylish sedan at an accessible price.
A Simplified Trim Lineup With the New SEL Sport
Hyundai has merged the SEL and SEL Convenience trims into a single new SEL Sport trim for 2026, cleaning up a lineup that had grown a bit cluttered with overlapping configurations. That consolidation makes shopping the Sonata more straightforward than in recent years.
A Carryover 191-Horsepower Engine
The base Sonata SE and new SEL Sport use a carryover 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. It's a proven, well-understood powertrain that doesn't require a learning curve for returning Hyundai owners.
Standard Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Every 2026 Sonata comes with standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a genuinely convenient baseline that removes the need for a cable on every drive. It's part of a broader approach that keeps meaningful technology from being locked behind the priciest trim.
A Design That Still Stands Out
Styling remains one of the Sonata's strongest selling points, both inside and out, with a modern design that helps it stand apart in a segment often criticized for playing it safe. Since its 2024 refresh, the Sonata has kept a bold front end and distinctive rear styling that still turns heads.
A Genuinely Spacious Interior for the Segment
The Sonata's cabin offers more space than many shoppers expect from a midsize sedan, a detail that matters for families cross-shopping it against compact SUVs. The 2024 refresh brought a heavily updated interior and, in some trims, a new column shifter that frees up center console space.
A 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty
Every Sonata is backed by Hyundai's 5-year/60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, among the strongest coverage available in the midsize sedan class.
