Turnersville Hyundai Dealer

The Hyundai Sonata has long been one of the best midsize sedans sold in the United States. For 2018, the Sonata gets updates that solidify its place alongside rivals like the Honda Accord. With revised external and interior styling and updated suspension and steering, the 2018 Hyundai Sonata looks and drives even better than before. With a total of seven trim levels, you can buy a Sonata at a dealership like the Willow Grove Hyundai Dealer in just about any configuration you need, from a bare-bones model to a luxurious sedan outfitted with plenty of comfort and convenience features.

The Honda Accord is a midsize sedan that competes with the Sonata. Like the 2018 Sonata, the Honda Accord also gets a redesign for 2018. The Accord is only offered in five trim levels, so Accord buyers won't get the same degree of choice as Hyundai Sonata owners. Whether you've been contemplating buying a Hyundai Sonata at Willow Grove Hyundai, a Honda Accord, or you're not sure which model is best for you and your family, read on as we compare the two sedans head to head.

Price

Value is one of the strong points of all Hyundai vehicles. Whether you look at the invoice price or the MSRP, the 2018 Hyundai Sonata is less expensive than the 2018 Honda Accord. The invoice price for the Sonata is $21,141 and the MSRP is $22,050. Compare this with the Accord's invoice price of $21,573 and its MSRP of $23,570 and you'll realize that Sonata owners will save a little money compared with those who choose the Accord.

Interior Space

More space means more comfort. Whether you're a passenger or the driver, you'll want space to stretch out a bit and not feel cramped. The 2018 Hyundai Sonata has more passenger volume than the 2018 Honda Accord and has more space in just about every category, including front headroom, rear headroom, front legroom and rear hip room.

Brakes

Edmunds gave the 2018 Hyundai Sonata four-and-a-half stars for braking, while the Accord rated just four stars. Edmunds wrote: "The Sonata's brakes are easy to modulate in normal driving, making it easy to stop exactly where you want." The Sonata stopped in 119 feet from 60 mph in Edmunds' panic braking tests. The 2018 Honda Accord took 122 feet to come to a stop.

Noise

Everyone prefers a quiet cabin that blocks out noise from outside the vehicle. The Sonata is quiet, with practically no wind noise. The Accord is quiet when driving at slow speeds, but once it gets up to freeway speeds, you'll hear wind noise and noise from the tires.

Warranty

The warranty on the Hyundai Sonata is better than the Accord's. The Sonata comes with a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The Accord only gets a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

In the End

If things like lower price, more interior space, better brakes, a quieter cabin and an unbeatable warranty are important to you, you'll agree that the 2018 Hyundai Sonata is for you.
