5 reasons to buy the 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid

1. Plenty of interior space 

Whether it’s groceries, luggage, or five people, you’ll appreciate the spacious interior of a 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid. So, stretch out and enjoy all 116 cu-ft of passenger volume and all the head and legroom it creates. For example, there are almost 36 inches of legroom in the rear and 38 inches of headroom, enough that even taller passengers will fit. Finally, stash small personal items in the pockets and cubbies that add efficient storage to the interior. 

2. Comfortable seating and quiet ride 

Sit back, relax, and enjoy a quiet and comfortable space while taking the 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid on your next trip. Up in the front, the driver’s seat is supportive, power-adjustable, and well-padded, maintaining comfort on long trips. Additionally, seating in the second row is just as comfortable, with good support and soft cushioning. Finally, good sound insulation, a quiet powertrain, and dampened suspension keep most of the outside noise from entering the 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid passenger space. 

3. A good list of standard features 

A good list of in-demand comfort and technology features are standard in a 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid, so you won’t have to look for the top trim to get the options you want. For example, stay connected with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration. Or keep warm on cold days with a heated steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control. Lastly, gain an extra set of eyes with blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts. 

4. Go further between stops for gas 

One of the benefits of a PHEV like the 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid is getting more miles between fill-ups. Because the gas engine and electric motor work together, a 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid gets an EPA-Estimated 39 mpg combined fuel economy.

However, if the conditions are right and you have a full charge, the 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid can drive up to 28 miles on electricity alone.

5. A luxurious limited trim 

Treat yourself to luxurious touches and technology in the top-trim 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid Limited. For example, enjoy soft leather seat surfaces throughout the cabin while heated and ventilated front seats keep you comfortable. Plus, woodgrain trim and accent finishes elevate the interior look and feel. Or, enjoy a suite of driver assists, including adaptive cruise control, which takes the strain out of long highway drives. So, let the 2019 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid Limited elevate your daily drive.
