How Does the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Stack Up Against the Competition?
Searching for the perfect everyday car for your drives around Longview and Center, TX? The new 2025 Hyundai Sonata is a great choice, offering a classically styled midsized sedan with modern looks and tech features. Here at our Nacogdoches, TX Hyundai dealership, we know what makes the Sonata and our other new models the best options in the Whitehouse and Jacksonville area. To give you an idea of how our new Hyundai models compare to other vehicles, we're looking at the new 2025 Sonata and some of its closest midsized sedan competitors.

Hyundai Sonata vs Kia K5
- With identical engines and horsepower and torque outputs, there isn't much separating the performance dynamics of the new Sonata and K5 sedans. But with Hyundai's midsized sedan eking out a bit more fuel economy than the Kia model, you'll want to pick the Sonata to get the most out of your daily commuting in Kilgore and Longview. Furthermore, a Sonata Hybrid is a great alternative in a familiar package, while the K5 is exclusively a gas-powered sedan.
- You have to really look close at the standard and optional features to separate the similar Sonata and K5 sedans, but with Hyundai's model, you'll have more luxurious appointments and upgrades offered. These include leather upholstery offered with the Sonata, where only faux-leather is an option with the K5. And in earlier and more affordable midrange trims of the Sonata, you'll have access to ventilated front seats, which you'll want for hot summer driving around Nacogdoches and Kilgore. For the same ventilated front seats in the K5, you'll have to spend more on a top trim.
- Some other features exclusive for the Sonata and not available with the K5 are the standard rear spoiler on the Hyundai sedan, creating a more aerodynamic and smoother driving experience. You'll also have rain-sensing wiper blades with the new 2025 Hyundai Sonata, adding more convenience.
Hyundai Sonata vs Toyota Camry
- Going up against one of the most popular vehicles of all time, it shouldn't surprise Carthage and Jacksonville drivers that the 2025 Hyundai Sonata is more affordable than the new Toyota Camry. The lower starting price and more affordable midrange and top trims give you more budgetary wiggle room here in Nacogdoches, allowing you to invest more in a higher edition with more features.
- While the newest Camry is now exclusively a hybrid model, the Sonata remains a gas-powered midsized sedan. However, there is a hybrid variant available and choosing that setup of the Hyundai brand's flagship midsized sedan actually helps you earn better fuel economy than the Camry.
- For added convenience, the new Sonata provides a slightly larger trunk than the new Camry. This gives you the ability to fit more stuff in the back while its modern and sleek cabin design is far more forward thinking than the classically refined interior of the new Toyota Camry.
Hyundai Sonata vs Honda Accord
- With performance outputs and fuel economy nearly identical, it's worth considering how both of these new midsized sedans handle and drive on the roads of Longview and Carthage. The 2025 Honda Accord uses the now-popular CVT setup, while the Sonata sticks with a traditional 8-speed automatic, giving you a better feel for accelerating and seeing how your car responds to highway slopes and other conditions.
- Again, where the popular Accord features a practical and traditional cabin feel, the Sonata offers excitement from every angle inside. The modern, sleek design with available upgrades like leather upholstery makes an otherwise classic four-door into a futuristic everyday driving machine that's filled with the latest Hyundai tech features, appointments, and amenities.
- Speaking of tech, having the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration apps be wireless in the Sonata is a great way to reduce clutter from cords and cables inside. The new Accord offers those systems but require you to plug in your smartphone.
