A midsize sedan that makes every mile count
Drive a Sonata
Five seats, up to 51 mpg, and more than 460 miles on a tank of gas — the Sonata keeps long drives simple.
The Hyundai Sonata is a smooth, comfortable midsize sedan, and MotorTrend singles out its roomy front row. Browse every Hyundai rental on Turo, then pick a gas, hybrid, or 290-hp N Line Sonata to match your trip.
On Turo, you book your Sonata from a local vehicle owner. Choose pickup or delivery, depending on the listing, and set off on your schedule.

Fuel-sipping range for the long haul
The Sonata Blue Hybrid earns up to 51 mpg combined (47 mpg city and 56 mpg highway). Gas models with front-wheel drive go more than 460 miles on a full tank — that's fewer gas station stops between you and your destination.
Room to stretch out
The Sonata gives you and four passengers real room to settle in. You get 104.4 cubic feet of passenger volume and 46.1 inches of front legroom, a stretch MotorTrend calls huge. Tall drivers and long highway days both win here.
Out back, the 15.6-cubic-foot trunk takes carry-ons, weekend duffels, or a cooler for a day at the beach. Need more length? Fold down one side of the 60/40 split rear seats to slide in longer items like a boxed lamp or folded stroller, and the other side stays up for a passenger.
Tech that keeps you connected
The current Sonata comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen plus Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Your maps, playlists, and podcasts move from your phone to the dash in moments. Hyundai lists wireless connectivity, so you can skip the tangle of cables in the cupholder.
Some trims add a panoramic curved display that pairs the touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster in one sweeping panel. Audio fans can look for the available Bose 12-speaker system — worth seeking out if your trip has a soundtrack. Check the listing to see which setup your Sonata includes before you book.
Stand out with a Sonata
The Sonata is a comfortable, efficient sedan for road trips, business travel, and everyday errands. Cover a long weekend of highway miles, pull up to client meetings looking sharp, or try one for a few days before you buy. On Turo's car rental marketplace, you choose the trim and the timing.
Top Sonata features
Three powertrains, one nameplate
Three standouts define the Sonata: its choice of powertrains, its driver-assist tech, and its sculpted styling.
The Sonata gives you three ways to drive, and each suits a different trip. The standard 2.5-liter engine makes 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic — steady, smooth power for commutes and errands. The hybrid delivers 192 combined hp and the lineup's best fuel economy for long, gas-light drives.
Want more punch? The N Line's turbocharged 2.5-liter engine makes 290 hp and 311 lb-ft, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard across the lineup, and the SEL Sport offers available all-wheel drive for extra traction when the weather turns.
Driver-assist on your side
The Sonata comes with tech that lightens your workload on long drives. Smart Cruise Control with Start/Stop comes standard, so you can ease off the pedals through highway traffic and stop-and-go slowdowns. It's a welcome assist on a long interstate stretch or a busy commute into the city.
Step up to the N Line or Limited Hybrid and you'll get Highway Driving Assist for added support on long highway miles. The Limited also adds a color head-up display that puts key info at eye level, so your focus stays on the road ahead. Equipment varies by trim and year, so check the listing to confirm what your Sonata includes before you book.
Sporty, sculpted styling
The Sonata looks sharper than ever after its 2024 refresh, which gave it sporty new front and rear ends. It's a sedan that looks the part whether you're pulling up to a hotel entrance, a dinner reservation, or a family reunion.
On N Line and Limited trims, Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium lets a compatible phone work as the key — one less thing to dig for in your bag at the end of a long day. Check the listing to see which trim you're booking and how access works for your trip.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Sonata
Get to know your Sonata
A little prep makes your Sonata trip easier: know your trim, learn the shifter, and understand what shapes the price.
Your Sonata's trim shapes the drive, so check the listing before you book. Hybrid models lead on fuel economy, gas models balance comfort and range, and the N Line brings 290 hp for drivers who want more punch. Features like the head-up display and Highway Driving Assist depend on trim, too.
Shopping around? Compare it with a Toyota Camry rental for another midsize sedan, or step up to a Chrysler 300 rental for full-size space. If you'd rather go electric, try a Hyundai Ioniq 5 rental.
Sonata driving tips
The Sonata drives like a familiar sedan, with one twist: the shifter. Its column-mounted shift-by-wire selector sits on the steering column instead of the center console, so find drive, reverse, and park before you pull out.
Pair your phone through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay while you're still parked, so navigation is ready before you merge. On the highway, set Smart Cruise Control and let it manage your pace. For long items, fold one side of the 60/40 split rear seats and keep the other for a passenger.
How much does it cost to rent a Sonata?
The cost to rent a Sonata on Turo depends on the trim, location, trip length, extras, and delivery you choose. Prices vary by listing, so compare a few before you book.
Planning a longer stay? Listings can include discounts on trips of three or more days, seven or more days, and 30 or more days. Explore long-term car rental options if you need a Sonata for a month or more.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
