A Local Perspective: Driving the Sonata Hybrid in Indiana
If you log serious miles across Eastern Indiana, the Sonata Hybrid is the ultimate tool for keeping money in your pocket. For faculty at Ball State University or professionals making the daily trek down I-69 to Indianapolis, the aerodynamic Blue trim's 51 MPG combined rating means far fewer stops at the gas pump.
But fuel economy is only part of the story. Unlike other hybrids equipped with loud, droning continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), the Sonata Hybrid's 6-Speed Automatic Transmission provides smooth, confident gear changes when you need to quickly pass a semi-truck on the highway. Plus, with a full 15.6 cubic feet of trunk space, it is just as capable of handling your weekend grocery hauls around Muncie as the standard gas model.
