The family sedan. A white hot segment with manufacturers jumping through hoops to grab your attention. Just how well does the 2017 Hyundai Sonata stack up in this race? Let's find out.

Three engines grace the Sonata for 2017, all of them 4 cylinders; a 2.4L naturally aspirated unit starts us off with 185hp & 178lb-ft torque. Move on up to the 2.0T and receive the benefits resulting form a twin-scroll turbocharger - output is a very healthy 245hp & 260lb-ft torque. In the same Theta II family is the Sonata Eco boasting a 1.6L turbo engine pumping 178hp & 195lb-ft torque.

Both the 2.4 & 2.0T are mated to a 6 speed automatic, the 1.6T gets a 7-speed dual clutch automatic. The setup on the 1.6T bumps the Sonatas fuel economy yielding up to 36MPG on the highway.

Regardless of which model suits you best, all Sonata come standard with lots of equipment packed inside and out. Automatic projector beam headlights, alloy wheels, touchscreen audio with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, a rearview camera, keyless entry with alarm and Bluetooth® hands-free phone/audio all come standard on every Sonata that rolls off the factory line - making this sedan one heck of a deal.

If that isn't enough equipment, Hyundai has you covered with the Limited edition. Heated and cooled power front seats, heated rear seats, window shades, panoramic moon roof, an Infinity 10 speaker 400watt sound system, blind spot detection, smart cruise control, projector HID dynamic bending headlights, proximity key and so much are all checked off on the Limited, which is available with both the 2.4 and 2.0T engines to best suit your needs.

But how does it drive? In a word - well. As tested, the Limited 2.0T has the heart to hurl you towards the finish line and keep going well past it. The steering is direct and linear with an easy and relaxed highway demeanor. Road, tire and wind noise are all muffled very well whether on the highway or a back road. The suspension soaks up road irregularities extremely well giving excellent feedback as to what is happening at each well without jarring the passengers inside.

Load up the trunk with its 16.3 cu. ft of space, pile in your passengers who will appreciate all of the niceties for them to enjoy and head off on your journey knowing you have a 10/100K mile warranty backing you the whole way. Really, what more could you want!
