The Distinction of the Hyundai Santa Cruz

The brand new Hyundai Santa Cruz for 2022 is now released and available for sale in most markets. This highly anticipated vehicle from Hyundai has left many wondering, is this vehicle a truck or an SUV? By looking at the distinct look of the Santa Cruz, it’s easy to see why people are questioning this. Rest assured that this is the first truck produced by Hyundai and it is unlike most midsize trucks in the market. Hyundai has combined a midsize truck, with the feel of an SUV, that is more comfortable and comes with some towing power. 

Performance Of The Hyundai Santa Cruz

When buying any vehicle, we want to make sure that it is going to come with the performance we need or desire. The Hyundai Santa Cruz comes with some pretty good specs and upgrades that we are sure will interest you.

Under The Hood Of The Hyundai Santa Cruz

There are two different powertrain options available for the Hyundai Santa Cruz. The standard powertrain option comes with a 2.5 liter, 4 cylinder engine capable of producing 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. Not bad although the upgraded powertrain comes with a turbocharged 2.5 liter, 4 cylinder engine capable of producing 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. This difference is noticeable and we feel you will have greater satisfaction with this Hyundai truck by going with the upgraded powertrain option.

Towing Capacity

The true measurement of any truck lies in its ability to tow a payload. This midsize truck has the capacity to tow up to 5,000 pounds! That’s quite a capacity considering that this truck is not designed to tow farm equipment or concrete. This should be more than enough tow capacity for everyday use.

Fuel Economy

The fuel economy of the 2022 Santa Cruz is on par with other midsize trucks. The standard powertrain option delivers an average 21 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway while the upgraded powertrain option delivers an average 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. The turbocharger is going to use a little more fuel within the city but you also get that needed power boost when you must have it.

Inside the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

If you have ever driven a Hyundai before, you know that Hyundai does not cut corners when it comes to the interior of the vehicle. The new Santa Cruz is no different. Critics are saying that the Santa Cruz has one of the “nicest cabins” of any midsize truck. The Hyundai truck is only available as a 4-door crew cab making it easy for passengers to enter and exit the truck. It is the first midsize truck to have a fully digital gauge cluster. The seats are comfortable and the interior design makes this truck feel larger inside than it really is. 

Infotainment Center

The infotainment center on the Santa Cruz is big. 10.3 inches to be exact. And, it’s connectivity is up to the level that you would expect from Hyundai. Wireless pairing to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, Hyundai Blue Link services (free for the first 3 years), and a multitude of apps to make your ride easier and more enjoyable. Want an upgraded sound system in your Hyundai truck? Upgrade the sound system to an eight speaker Bose and feel like you are in an IMAX theater.

Hyundai Santa Cruz Safety Features

Like most other Hyundai vehicles, the Santa Cruz is ranked as being very safe. Mainly due to the driver’s assist features that come with it. Some of the features include:

• Driver attention warning
• Adaptive cruise control
• Blind spot monitoring
• Rear cross-traffic alert
• Forward collision warning
• Automated emergency braking
• Lane keeping assist
• Lane departure warning

For a complete list of safety features on the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz, we encourage you to visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) website.

The Hyundai Warranty

Hyundai has the best vehicle warranty in the industry. That same warranty will apply to the Hyundai Santa Cruz as well. Here are a few highlights from that warranty.

• 5 year/60,000 mile Limited Warranty
• 10 year/100,000 mile Powertrain Warranty
• 3 year/36,000 mile Complimentary Maintenance Warranty

Visit our website for more details about the Hyundai warranty or you can find more details on Hyundai’s website.

• The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe is considered one of the best family SUVs on the market.
• Depending on chosen engine, the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe will get 40-44 mpg.
• The Euro NCAP gave the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe a five star rating.

2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Overview

The new 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe is a fierce competitor as well as a spacious, comfortable family SUV. It has a stylish exterior and a comfy, lavishly-equipped interior. It is a great alternative to the array of large SUVs on sale today and, as a result of its upgrades, premium rivals will be looking over their shoulders at the Santa Fe. The 2021 upgrade brings things up-to-date thanks to its hybrid technology.

Engines, Performance, & Drive

Rated 3.8/5 Stars by AutoExpress

This car is going to take care of its passengers when maneuvering over difficult roadways, surface imperfections, holes, and bumps. The standard self-leveling suspension makes every trip and adventure a relaxing experience. Low-speed trips are a bit lower quality when it comes to how fidgety the SUV can become, and there is the slightest bit of wind noise at motorways speeds.

The four-wheel drive system has a drive mode selector to help set up its drivers for most road conditions. In Eco and Sport modes, the Santa Fe modifies a range of drivetrain parameters to suit your adventure, and the Comfort mode creates a softer experience for the driver and passengers. There are also Snow, Mud, and Sand modes for those types of off-road terrain. 

The only negative found is the heavy steering that stays that same regardless of driving mode. 

Both of the Santa Fe hybrid models share their turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine with the Ioniq hatchback. The four wheel drive will reach 62mph in 9.1 seconds in the mild-hybrid. In the PHEV version, it reaches 62 mph in 8.8 seconds, and the 2020m diesel models reaches 62mph in 9.5 seconds but has a higher top speed at 127mph.

MPG, CO2, & Running Costs

Rated 3.5/5 Stars by AutoExpress

Because of the high weight of the new Hyundai Santa Fe, it’s a lot to move around and impacts the overall economy. Buyers can expect an average of 40mpg and CO2 emissions in the 151-170g/km range.

With the 2WD mild-hybrid model, you are looking at around 44.1mpg and 40.4mpg for 4X4.

If we move up to the PHEV version, we can benefit from both exceptional fuel-efficiency AND extremely low CO2 figures. (that is if we keep the battery charged) 

Insurance costs could be slightly higher than those of the Santa Fe’s closest rival. The potential for depreciation in this vehicle isn’t the best we’ve seen. The new hybrids are still to be confirmed, but we think they’re likely to be similar. After 36 months of ownership, a top-spec four-wheel-drive Premium SE model is predicted to lose just over 46% of its value when it comes time to trade in. 

2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Interior, Design, & Technology

Rated 4.0/5 Stars by AutoExpress. 

The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe has a much bolder appearance compared to previous models. A larger hexagonal grille, new LED headlamps, and a new lower bumper design sets it apart, along with the LED light bar connected to the tail-lamps and a redesigned rear bumper. 

Wheels range from 17 to 19-inches and the colors have its usual array of silvers, greys, and blacks along with splashes of color with Lava Orange, Stormy Sea blue, Horizon Red, and Rain Forest. All paints have a metallic option as well and all models get chrome and dark chrome exterior trim.

The interior has a spacious cabin with new drive mode control and push button gear selector. There is also very comfortable seating and a 10.25-inch infotainment screen OR a 12-inch configurable digital instrument cluster for hybrid models. The switchboard can seem overwhelming at first, but it’s pretty easy to manage and most get the hang of it pretty quickly.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the range and the touchscreen display features crisp graphics and tons of functions.

All of these things together give the 2021 Santa Fe a fashion-forward appeal.

Practicality & Comfort

Rated 4.0/5 Stars by AutoExpress.

All Santa Fe models come with the standard seven seats, but this model specifically seems to have a pretty tight back seat–most suited for children. Finding comfort behind the wheel is easy with the fullest range of electric adjustment, and visibility is not a problem with a larger glasshouse and the rear camera. The Premium SE has a 360-degree camera system if you’re needing even more.

There are many clever interior features including a spacious glovebox, useful cubby holes throughout the cabin, a storage compartment in the front, cup holders in both the front and rear, and two USB slots and a 12V power outlet in the rear as well. 

The Santa Fe offers a ton of headspace and knee-space in the first two-rows and the middle can easily fit three adults side-by-side-by-side. The third row, though, seems to be the only space lacking. If you have children, though, this would be perfect for that space. 

Reliability & Safety

Rated 4.0/5 Stars by AutoExpress

The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe was awarded a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP. They scored 94% in the ‘Adult Occupant’ category and 88% for ‘Child Occupant Safety.’ Part of this rating is due to its selection of standard safety equipment. This includes Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system, pedestrian detection capabilities, hill start and descent control systems, and lane departure warning. Ultimate models add rear-cross traffic alert and blind-spot detection systems to that list as well. 

All Hyundai models come with an unlimited mileage, five-year warranty and the 2021 Santa Fe is no exception! This warranty is amongst the very best in class. Especially if you’re planning to keep your vehicle for more than the average 2-3 years. 

Our Final Thought On The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: This is THE family SUV. With all of its accessories, and the plethora of standard safety features, competitors don’t stand a chance.

At Tulsa Hyundai, we are passionate about providing the best car-buying experience possible. As Tulsa, Oklahoma’s premier Hyundai Dealership, we have all the cars for sale you could possibly want and need to get started, or continue along, on the car-buying adventure!

• Hyundai is now a proud sponsor of Sabado Fútbolero.
• Univision and Hyundai released a new hashtag to celebrate #BecauseFútbol
• Hyundai has developed 3 different TV spots to commemorate different cultures who love soccer.

---

Hyundai Is Inspired By The Culture And Love For Fútbol

Fútbol has always played an important cultural role across the world and especially in Latin America, and it is an inspiration to people of all ages. The culture of Fútbol brings friends and families together to root on their favorite teams. The love people have for this sport is incredible and remains an outlet of cultural pride. For many, the best way for them to celebrate their cultural roots was through soccer. In light of this amazing sport, Hyundai has decided to join forces with Univision Deportes as a sponsor of Sabado Fútbolero, which is Saturday Soccer.

The Growth Of Soccer Community and Culture in the U.S.

Soccer in the United States has grown immensely over the past few decades, especially because of the rise in the Latino population. From the aspect of Latinos moving to a country where soccer is the 4th or 5th most popular sport rather than 1st, soccer provides a community and a way for Latinos to feel close to home. It is also a way for parents to show their young children their pride and love for the country they grew up in, in hope to pass down that same passion of the sport. 

Hyundai & Univision Recognize Passionate Sabado Fútbolero Audience

Hyundai and Univision have launched #BecauseFútbol to display the pivotal force Latino’s and Hispanics are towards soccer’s growing influence. This campaign features three new Spanish-language TV spots. It highlights the fan rivalry between Chivas de Guadalajara and Cruz Azul. The hashtag perfectly describes the fan base. It allows Hyundai to join in on the spirit and passion people have for soccer, to “entertain fans and connect. Throughout the TV spots, there is a custom penning sequence from the collaboration with Univision and logo placements in various scenes and graphics. There is also social content and a call-to-action to inspire fans to share their passion on social media and show the world the reason they love soccer. 

Hyundai’s Campaign Celebrates Car & Fútbol Culture

As mentioned earlier, there are three TV spots that were published around July 31,2021: A BBQ with Rivals, Cookie from Abuela, and When Lemonade is not for Sale. This campaign was executed by Hyundia’s agency, INNOCEAN USA. Hyundai Dealerships embrace and love this campaign because of the sense of community soccer provides Hispanics. It goes the same way when you purchase a Hyundai car. Hyundai’s community allows individuals to feel welcome. They can relate to one another with something as simple as the vehicle they are driving. 

The Individual TV Spots on Sabado Futbolero Exemplify Different Rivalries

Each TV spot tells a different story. The first one, A BBQ with rivals, is the epitome of a sports rivalry between family and friends. The spot is comedic and displaying fans are passionate about their team. They are always up for some friendly rivalry fun. The next one, Cookies from Abuela, is another perfect example of rivalry. Abuela refuses to give her granddaughter a cookie because she is clearly supporting a different team  that despite age difference and familial relations nothing will get in the way. The last one, When Lemonade is not for Sale. Which is another comedic example of the culture of rivalry between all generations.

What’s amazing about all of these spots is that consumers and viewers do not have to speak or understand Spanish to enjoy these placements of ads. On social media, people share the hashtag in efforts to not only celebrate soccer culture, but also show why people love their Hyundai cars. This campaign was successful in many ways that inspired the community while promoting Hyundai Cars in an intentional and enticing way.

A BBQ With Rivals | Hyundai | Sábado Futbolero 

Cookies From Abuela | Hyundai | Sábado Futbolero

When Lemonade Is Not For Sale | Hyundai | Sábado Futbolero

The Wide Community of Sabado Futbolero & Hyundai Cars

Just like Sunday Night Football, Saturday Soccer has the same importance and love that Hyundai is visualizing through their campaign. It is a known fact that sports bring people together in unexpected ways but soccer exceeds all other sports when it comes to love, loyalty, and a sense of togetherness. Despite the huge rivalry between fan bases, soccer is a tight-knit community where individuals feel welcomed and their passion for soccer fuels excitement. For Hispanics and Latinos, soccer is an outlet to celebrate their culture and proudness of their home country. Hyundai’s #BecauseFútbol is inspiring with a comedic element that entices consumers to purchase their vehicle when in the market. At the end of the day, sports will always be there to bring joy and community to all individuals.

• In addition to producing cars, Hyundai also produces big rigs using the XCIENT fuel cells.
• Hyundai’s XCIENT Fuel Cell truck is one of the best eco-friendly, hydrogen powered trucks on the market.
• 46 XCIENT Fuel Cell Trucks can travel a little over a total of 466,000 with reduced carbon emissions by 585 tons.

---

With the changes in widespread viewpoints on controversial topics, the world has been changing at a rapid pace. Companies all over the world are trying to keep up with the global demand. That demand being for eco-friendly products, low carbon-footprint machines, and much more. Hyundai is staying up with the demand with hydrogen powered trucks.

XCIENT Fuel Cell Truck: Globally Expanding

Hyundai has been a top contender recently for their eco-focused designs. Also, Hyundai’s implementations that have been released for an exciting new fleet of hybrid and electric vehicles. One of these, being a hot commodity in the market right now, the XCIENT Fuel Cell Truck. With exciting new improvements to the overall design and performance of this eccentrically modern machine, Hyundai is looking to be one of the best choices for eco-friendly semi-trucks that are ready for the future. Let’s check out what some of these upgrades are planning out to be:

Design Updates

A linear and bold ‘V’ shape of chrome details and multi-dimensional mesh patterns have been added to the exterior of the truck, adding a simple yet attractive touch to the overall look with no adjustments to any negative spectrum on the resulting performance. The blue point color lining the grille mixing with the decal graphics perfectly visualizes the truck’s fuel cell use of eco-friendly, hydrogen energy. The new and improved grille design utilizes the multi-dimensional mesh patterns to allow better airflow and a fashionable new look to rival modern competitors. The XCIENT Truck is available in a 6×2 rigid body configuration to complement the 4×2 option. So getting up hills, over rocks, and such will be even easier.

Performance Improvements

The XCIENT Truck is equipped with a 180-kW hydrogen fuel cell system. This system has two 90-kW fuel cell stacks specially modified for improved fuel efficiency & durability. An available 350-kW e-motor with maximum torque of 2,237 is also available for those who want better dynamic driving performance. 

Hyundai has installed seven large hydrogen tanks to offer a total storage capacity of 31 kg of fuel. Many truckers need more fuel than that, which is why a 72-kWh-powered set of three batteries provides an additional source of power to keep with your demands. While the maximum driving range of the 2021 XCIENT Fuel Cell is set to be around 248 miles, refueling a full tank of hydrogen only takes about 8 to 20 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. These numbers are more than enough for many drivers to quickly refuel and get back on the roads. 

Making A Difference You Can Count On

With the launch of the enhanced model, Hyundai plans to accelerate the global advancement of its heavy-duty fuel cell truck on a whole new level that we expect is going to make a big change to the transportation industry within a couple of years. Hyundai has managed to ship out a total 46 of XCIENT Fuel Cell Trucks to Switzerland last year with the cumulative driving range of those trucks in operation reaching over 750,000 kilometers (466,028 miles)! And it did more than just save fuel too, over that distance, the hydrogen-powered trucks have reduced carbon emissions by an estimated 585 tons compared to diesel-powered vehicles. 

According to CEO of Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility, “We are very confident that we will see XCIENT Fuel Cell trucks on the road in other European countries next year.” They also plan to showcase the XCIENT Fuel Cell Trucks to the North American market this year. By talking with several local governments and logistics businesses to start multiple joint ventures for distributing across the country.

• The 2021 Hyundai Tucson has been released and has a starting price of $24,885.
• The 2021 Tucson can go from 0-60 in 8.8 seconds making it one of the fastest SUVs on the market.
• You can expect to get 24-28 mpg depending on if your are driving in the city or highway.

---

Talk about a lot in one package! The time has finally come for Hyundai’s 2021 Tucson to be a part of your garage. While it may not offer as many premium options and materials as its siblings, the Tucson offers a variety of stylish interior and a smooth ride. Buyers get to choose between a 164-hp 2.0-liter or a 181-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with either front- or all-wheel drive. Coming in at a starting price of $24,885, Hyundai’s Tucson is a great all-around compact SUV for those who need the basics with a modern touch.

Engine & Performance

This year’s model is offered in two different engine types. First, a 164-hp 2.0-liter spitting out an average of 150lbs of torque. Second, a 181 hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine outputting 181lbs. Both have been tested to move the Tucson at a standstill form 0-60mph in 8.8 seconds. Making for a pretty strong number for the value of the car. 

While the handling isn’t the best, it still provides a sharp, responsive ride when turning corners in a city setting. The phenomenal suspension pairs with high-performance brake calipers and a weighted steering wheel to provide a “sporty” experience that soaks up all the harsh environmental factors, which is great for daily driver use if you happen to have a ton of potholes or beat-up roads near your area. 

Fuel Economy & Pricing

Surprisingly for a crossover SUV, the fuel economy for Hyundai’s new Tucson is nothing to rave about. The EPA has rated the Tucson to be capable of 23mpg in the city and 28 on the highway, although, we find that it offers a modest 26 in the city and 29 (average) on the highway during our tests. Overall, they are not crazy impressive numbers, but it still beats many of their competitors while offering a solid starting price point. 

For information on the models available and their pricing, a helpful graph is included below: 

Driving Safety Updates

As one of the best in its class for safety, this Tucson has some of the best compact SUV ratings. Hyundai’s compact crossover earns accolades from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Admiring its strong showing in crash tests. The Tucson earns five stars for both front and side crash testing. Also receiving a 4.5 for roll tests, beating out last year’s numbers by just a hair. 

Standard driving assistance and safety features included with this year is a long list. Including: automated emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and driver attention warning. If you want even more for an optimally safe ride, blind-spot warnings, pedestrian detection, and automatic high beams are all available as well. 

Interior Technology & Entertainment

Inside the cabin of this compact SUV is a simple infotainment system. It comes with Apple Carplay & Android Auto compatibility that will display media information and a list of other driving stats. The Limited and Ultimate trim levels feature an 8.0-inch touchscreen with an in-dash navigation heads-up display. 

With a beige and black color interior color theme and simple yet intuitive design, the Tucson manages to provide a luxurious and high-end experience. It perfectly matches the exterior styling choices. According to Hyundai, the fabric seating that comes standard with most of the trim levels resists staining, repel odors, and reduce static thanks to its inter-woven stitching design. The ultimate and limited trims also offer leather stitching and seats as a standard for those who are not a big fan of interior cloth materials. 

Our Final Thought

Overall, Hyundai’s 2021 Tucson is proving to be a worthy competitor in the compact SUV market. With a low price point and a big list of safety/entertainment features, the Tucson is one of the smoothest SUVs ever.

• The 2021 Hyundai Sonata is looking to enter the luxury class market.
• Many comfort features and exterior sleek styling upgrades have been made to the 2021 Hyundai Sonata.
• The base price of the 2021 Hyundai Sonata is $23,000.

---

A prominent grille with sleek, sharp curvature makes the front of the car truly stand out on the road and the upscale interior features, with seating space, offer more than what many family sedans include nowadays. This gives you the option of hitting the roads for a much-needed solo speed drive or those long family road trips throughout the beautiful state of Oklahoma. 

Sleek Styling

Style has always been a one of the focuses for Hyundai and their family sedan lineup. The design used for this model truly stands out thanks to its slim, finned tail lights and low-cut roof structure. This gives the Sonata a sporty look with plenty of room. Not too much, though, under the car for sharp and responsive turning. The 16-inch alloy wheels and bright LED headlights have also been integrated in this year’s model. This makes driving during difficult weather conditions as safe as making a trip to the local grocery store. 

Looking inside, sleek HVAC controls, premium cloth upholstery, and a spacious dashboard, the design of the Sonata will leave you with a “luxury feeling” that never goes away, regardless of how much you drive. The two front seats are fully power adjustable with up to 4-6 positioning options. The back seats have a ton of legroom. The seats are able to be put down, utilizing the enormous space of the trunk . 

Overall, with around a 16 foot length and 3,200 pound weight, the 2021 Hyundai Sonata is a champion offering luxury sedan features without compromising on a sporty style.

Road-Worthy Technology

Technology is one of the areas where the Sonata truly shines. An 18-inch touchscreen system with Apple Carplay & Android Auto, USB ports, and wireless bluetooth connectivity have been upgraded for a better entertainment experience. With responsive, simple-to-use controls and useful wireless media playback, listening to music or changing the temperature will never require you to take your eyes off the road again. 

The higher models also provide upgraded features for those who want even better and more convenient technology like remote keyless entry, suede leather upholstery, 12-speaker premium surround sound, 10.25 inch LED infotainment screen, and heated/cooled front seats.

Luxury Comfort

The Hyundai Sonata isn’t called a “family sedan” for no reason. Hyundai offers over 16 cubic feet of trunk space. This is plenty of space for you to stuff it full of the family’s luggage or two weeks of groceries. Space for five adults, it reserves most of its space for the driver/passenger seating. Offering over 46.1 inches of front leg room. As mentioned, the SEL models are capable of providing power driver adjustable seats, heating/cooling integration, and much more. The back carries around 34 inches of legroom space. 

Superior Safety

The NHTSA awards the 2021 Hyundai Sonata five stars overall and the IIHS recently called it a Top Safety Pick. But the Sonata offers more than just good reviews. Hyundai equipped the trim models for this year’s sedan with plenty of safety features. Features that not only rival worthy competitors, but offers a value for the dollar that is hard to match. Standard features for all of the models include automatic emergency braking, active lane control, adaptive cruise control, hands-free bluetooth system, high-beam assist, and daytime running LEDs.

For those who decide to go with the more premium trim options, safety features like blind-spot monitors, surround-view camera system, parking assistance, safe exit views, and a heads-up-display showing detailed & live vehicle statistics are also available.

Powerful Performance

While it may not have been the main focus of innovation for this model, the 2021 Hyundai Sonata still delivers plenty of under-the-hood performance to go with all these safety and luxury features. The base models come with a 2.5-liter inline-4 that spits out around 191 horsepower with 181 pounds of torque. An available 180-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder is also out now, offering a solution for those who have a racing itch on the streets. While driving, the Hyundai feels smooth and quick for its size, usually with no road sounds or bumps felt during a trip. Thanks to its low to the ground design, alloy wheels, and sport tuned transmission shifting, the Sonata is the perfect midsize sedan offering a true “sport car” experience.

Fuel Economy

Currently, Hyundai only sells the 2021 Sonata models in two versions, gas, and hybrid. The SE Sonata trim with an inline-4 earned an EPA rating of 28 mpg city, 38 on the highway. As well as a 32 overall combined. Having to compensate for the higher performance engine and quicker acceleration shifting, the turbo-4 upgrade checked in at 27/37/30 mpg. According to Hyundai, an optional solar panel roof is also available. This is only for the hybrid models and will provide up to an additional 700 miles of driving distance!

If you’re on a budget, but enjoy luxury, then the 2021 Hyundai Sonata is for you. It carries a competitive base price point at $23,000. It offers plenty of safety, performance, and luxury features to go around. And with all of the new innovations coming out in modern cars, the Sonata has competitive selling points. While some other midsize sedans may offer models with more space or speed, the Sonata is easily one of the top 2021 cars to purchase.
