Used 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is available in three trim levels: Blue, SEL and Limited. All are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired to a hybrid system and a six-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid powertrain produces 192 horsepower. The Sonata Hybrid is only available in front-wheel drive.

Blue
The base Sonata Hybrid is well equipped with these features:

  • 16-inch aluminum wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Hands-free-opening trunklid
  • Cloth seats
  • Keyless ignition and entry
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Bluelink connected services
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Automatic high beams

All 2023 Sonata Hybrids also come with the following advanced safety features:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Hyundai and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your path while you're in reverse)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle in its lane)
  • Rear seat reminder (alerts you to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Rear passenger safe-exit system (can prevent a rear passenger from opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)

SEL
The midlevel trim adds several desirable upgrades such as:

  • 17-inch aluminum wheels
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Hyundai digital key functionality (an app that lets you use your Android phone as a key)
  • Heated and power-adjustable front seats
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Navigation system
  • 10.25-inch touchscreen
  • Wireless charging pad
  • 12-speaker Bose audio system

Limited
This top trim adds the full complement of available luxury, tech and safety features:

  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Leather upholstery
  • Leather dash
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Head-up display
  • 12.3-inch digital instrument panel display
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Sonata Hybrid and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Blind-Spot View Monitor (supplements blind-spot monitor with camera views of the blind spots on each side of the car)
  • Highway Driving Assist (enhanced lane keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control functionality)
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Remote Smart Parking Assist (using the parking sensors, the system can back into or pull out of a parking space by using the key fob)

The 2023 Sonata Hybrid does not offer any optional packages.

Which Sonata Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

If having the most efficient trim (Blue) isn't a priority, we recommend the SEL. It adds more comfort and tech features such as heated seats, a Bose audio system, a larger touchscreen and a wireless charging pad. It also offers the digital key feature, a neat party trick that lets you use an Android phone as a key.
