The 2020 model year lineup is finally completed thanks to the unveiling of the all-new 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this month. We’re super stoked about the all-new Sonata Hybrid, as it adopts many of the same cosmetic changes and more as its gas-only sibling, plus even more! In fact, one of its trim levels even offers best-in-class fuel economy in two different categories! That’s why we figured we’d go ahead and compare the updated sedan to some of its segment competitors, so check out how they fare against one another below.
