Electric miles, hybrid freedom
Drive a Sonata Plug-In Hybrid
The Sonata Plug-In Hybrid runs up to 28 miles on electricity alone (EPA), then its 2.0L hybrid takes over. It's a midsize five-seat sedan built for the 2016–2019 model years, so you're booking a well-equipped example from a local vehicle owner. It's a smart Hyundai rental pick when you want gas-free daily drives without planning your trip around chargers.
Booking takes a few taps. Pick a listing, set pickup or delivery, and manage the rest of your trip in the Turo app.

Plug-in power for every errand
The Sonata Plug-In Hybrid runs up to 28 miles on electricity alone (EPA), thanks to a 9.8 kWh battery and a 50 kW electric motor. It rates 99 MPGe, and you get 39 mpg combined once the battery is depleted. That means no range anxiety — when the charge runs out, the hybrid keeps you moving.
Comfortable midsize cabin
You and four passengers get a roomy midsize cabin with comfort built in. The 2019 model comes standard with a heated steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control, so you and your front passenger each pick a temperature. The Limited trim adds ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, and driver-seat memory — handy when you share the driving on a longer trip.
Plan your packing, though. The battery takes up some cargo space, so the trunk measures 9.9 cu ft. Soft-sided bags fit more easily than hard-shell suitcases, and the back seat can take any overflow when it's just two of you.
Connected tech
Your phone moves right onto the dashboard. The 2019 Sonata Plug-In Hybrid's standard 7-inch touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for your maps, playlists, and messages. Built-in navigation is standard for 2019, too, which helps when you're exploring somewhere new.
Hyundai's Blue Link connected-car system rounds out the standard setup. Step up to the Limited trim, and you'll find an 8-inch touchscreen, a wireless charging pad for compatible phones, and nine-speaker Infinity audio. That combo turns long highway stretches into a proper listening session.
Stand out with a Sonata Plug-In Hybrid
The Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid suits commutes, city stays, and weekend trips built on short hops, with hybrid range for longer drives. It's also a real-world test drive of plug-in life before you buy one. Browse car rental on Turo to find one near you and see how charging fits your routine.
Top Sonata Plug-In Hybrid features
Quick Level 2 charging
Three things set the Sonata Plug-In Hybrid apart: quick Level 2 charging, driver-assist confidence, and a smooth hybrid drivetrain.
The Sonata Plug-In Hybrid charges in about 2.7 hours on Level 2 and 8.7 hours on a household outlet. A 3.3 kW onboard charger and an SAE J1772 charge port handle the job. Find a 240V Level 2 charger, and you can refill the battery during an afternoon out.
No charger nearby? Plug into a standard 120V outlet overnight, and you'll wake up to a full battery and up to 28 electric miles. Charging is optional, too — skip it, and the car simply runs as a hybrid, so a missed plug-in never cuts your plans short.
Driver-assist confidence
You get helpful safety tech on every 2019 trim. Blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, and a rearview camera come standard. They're useful when you're backing out of a tight spot in an unfamiliar parking garage.
The Limited trim adds adaptive cruise control, which adjusts your speed to the traffic ahead and eases long highway drives. It also adds rear parking sensors for extra awareness when you're parallel parking on a busy street. Check the listing details for the trim, so you know which systems your Sonata Plug-In Hybrid has.
Smooth hybrid drivetrain
The Sonata Plug-In Hybrid pairs a 2.0L GDI four-cylinder (154 hp) with an electric motor (67 hp, 151 lb-ft) for 202 total horsepower. Power reaches the front wheels through a conventional six-speed automatic rather than a CVT, so shifts feel familiar from the first mile.
Expect strong regenerative braking, which recaptures energy for the battery when you lift off the accelerator or press the brake. That pedal feel takes a minute to learn. Give yourself a few easy stops after pickup, and it'll feel natural before you reach the highway.

Ease into the regenerative braking during your first few stops.
