Hyundai has released pricing for the 2025 Hyundai Sonata.
The Sonata will start at $27,800, including a $1,150 destination charge.
The base Sonata SE gets standard features like dual-zone climate control, four USB-C ports, and wireless Apple CarPlay.

Hyundai gave the Sonata sedan a thorough design refresh for 2024, and the lineup enters 2025 with a slight price increase across the board. The car is cheaper to start than last year with the reintroduction of the SE trim as the entry-level offering. The 2025 Sonata now starts at $27,800 (all prices include the $1,150 destination charge), making it $850 cheaper than the 2024 SEL.

The Sonata SE has the same powertrain as the SEL—a 191-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with the eight-speed automatic transmission. Standard features on the new base model include 16-inch alloy wheels, LED projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, and automatic headlamp control.

2025 Sonata Trim	2025 Price (w/ dest.)	2024 Price (w/dest.)
Sonata SE	$27,800	N/A
Sonata SEL	$28,900	$28,650
Sonata SEL Convenience	$31,950	N/A
Sonata SEL Hybrid	$32,150	$31,950
Sonata N Line	$36,400	$36,100
Sonata Limited Hybrid	$38,600	$38,350

Inside, the SE has dual-zone automatic temperature control, push-button start, wireless and wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and four USB-C charging ports (two front and two rear). Safety goodies include nine airbags, lane-keep assist, lane-follow assist, forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian and bicycle detection, and blind-spot collision warning with rear cross-traffic assist.

The rest of the trims in the 2025 Sonata lineup—SEL, N Line, and the SEL and Limited hybrids—see their prices increase by a few hundred dollars. Hyundai is also repositioning the SEL Convenience as a new, standalone trim. All-wheel drive is also available for the SEL, and the hotter Sonata N Line remains in the lineup with 290 hp, but it now comes with second-row console-mounted air vents. The hybrids continue to use the 192-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed gearbox.
