Title: 2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Preferred-Trend
Post by: Blueprint on Jan 23, 2026, 04:59 PM
Yes, that's the full name - and the only trim offered. This is the same hybrid drivetrain that was available prior but was pulled from the Canadian market for a few years. Atmo 2.0 paired with a conventional 6-speed auto and front-wheel drive.

Matte silver paint looked sharp for the few minutes before it got grimed up with winter crud. Still a cool-looking car, although the greenhouse screams "Taurus" in profile.

Not as fun to drive than the Accord Hybrid, but not as "fleet" as the Camry.

5.2 l/100 km at the end of Day 1  :o
