Nissan Altima vs. Hyundai Sonata

The 2020's era of Nissan Altima and Hyundai Sonata has been a back-and-forth race for supremacy between the two. With a pair of similar vehicles from reputable manufacturers, how do you know which is the superior sedan to suit your needs? Check out our breakdown below to learn how the... spoiler... Nissan Altima beats out the Hyundai Sonata.

Best Parts Of The New Nissan Altima

The Nissan Altima is one of the most reliable sedans for the open road. It sports a potent 188 hp @ 6,000 rpm with its innovative class-exclusive VC-Turbo Engine. Armed with a colossal 12.3" infotainment screen and the marvelous zero gravity seats pioneered by Nissan, the Altima has all the best interior features. Finally, the Nissan Altima is armed with Pro Pilot Assist safety features, ensuring its NSTSA five-star safety award.

Pros Of Owning A New Hyundai Sonata

Hyundai has always ensured the Sonata was sleek and stylish inside and out. With several technology features, such as wireless phone charging, and device connectivity, the Sonata is trying something new and diverges away from the Altima's more iterative and refined design. Further, Hyundai has one of the best ten-year/ 100,000 miles powertrain warranties that any other distributor does not replicate.

Sonata And Altima Similarities

Before picking apart the differences between the Sonata and Altima, it is vital to note the features both car models have as a standard. These include the following:

  • Android Auto
  • Apple Car Play
  • Seats Up To 5
  • Over 15 Cu Ft Of Cargo Space
  • Additional Cargo Space With Flip Down Back Row Seats
  • Identical Combined Gas Mileage (The Altima has one mpg more on the highway)
  • Keyless Entry and Ignition
  • Several Trim Variants
  • Close Base Price (Sonata retails for $25,100, and the Altima has an MSRP of $25,290)
  • Similar 5-Year Ownership and Maintenance Costs

Breakdown Of Differences Between The Nissan Altima And The Hyundai Sonata

What makes the Sonata or Altima the better choice? The answer comes down to the little details rather than any glaring problem with one or the other. The Hyundai Sonata has robust features and a slightly superior engine in terms of power and torque. Although both of these advantages of the Sonata are small. In contrast, the Altima has several important factors that lead it to superiority over the most recent iteration of the Hyundai Sonata. These differences where the Altima proves superior are:

  • Better infotainment and a larger screen
  • Improved drive quality
  • Larger gas tank
  • Improved safety feature with Pro Pilot Assist
  • Recently redesigned exterior
  • The best seats on the market
  • More expansive and with better leg/headroom

While the ultimate decision is which features you want more, the Altima tends to offer more than the Hyundai Sonata. That's not to say the Sonata is a lousy car in any respect, it has to be good to stand so close to the Altima, and either can be an excellent addition for a daily driver or fleet vehicle.
