2020 Hyundai Sonata vs. 2020 Nissan Altima

Are you a Cartersville driver who’s in the market for a new sedan for your errands or your daily commute? Both the Hyundai Sonata and the Nissan Altima offer excellent EPA-estimated fuel economy and a powerful engine to get you around Kennesaw. If you’re looking for more features and a lower monthly payment, however, we believe you’ll find that the 2020 Hyundai Sonata is the better match for you. Compare the Hyundai Sonata vs. Nissan Altima with Terry Reid Hyundai below, and contact us when you’re ready to schedule a test drive!

Sonata vs. Altima: Price

One of the first things you establish while shopping for a new car is your budget. Woodstock drivers will be happy to hear that they can save more on their monthly payments when they purchase the Hyundai Sonata. Starting at $23,600 MSRP*, drivers can use their savings to upgrade to a higher trim level or purchase accessories for the Sonata interior. The Nissan Altima also has an affordable starting price of $24,100 MSRP, but drivers will find that they’re getting more features on the Hyundai Sonata with its lower MSRP than the Nissan Altima.

Sonata vs. Altima: Performance

When comparing the Hyundai Sonata vs. Nissan Altima performance, Rome drivers will be happy to know that both vehicles offer a competitive EPA-Estimated fuel economy rating of 28 MPG City/38 MPG Highway. Both vehicles also come with two engine options. The base option is great for your everyday commute, while the performance option gives you the thrill you’re looking for on longer Cartersville drives. We’ve listed the engine options for you below:

2020 Hyundai Sonata

• 2.5L GDI 4-cylinder engine with 191 hp and 28 MPG City/38 MPG Highway
• 1.6L GDI 4-cylinder engine with 180 hp and 27 MPG City/36 MPG Highway

2020 Nissan Altima

• 2.5L DIG 4-cylinder engine with 188 hp and 28 MPG City/38 MPG Highway
• 2.0L VC-Turbo 4-cylinder engine with 248 hp and 25 MPG City/34 MPG Highway

While the Nissan Altima does offer a high-performance engine with a strong horsepower rating, we believe that Kennesaw drivers will find the affordability and performance of the Hyundai Sonata engine more than enough for their daily drives and weekend trips. 

Sonata vs. Altima: Warranty

One of the bigger differences between the Hyundai Sonata vs. Nissan Altima is their vehicle warranties. Hyundai offers one of the best warranties on the market with a 10-year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty and a 5-year/60,000 mile new vehicle inventory. The Nissan warranty, while comprehensive, doesn’t offer the same amount of coverage as the Hyundai warranty. See what’s covered under the Hyundai warranty —also known as America’s Best Warranty — below:

• 10 year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty
• 5 year/60,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty
• 7 year/Unlimited miles anti-perforation warranty
• 5 year/Unlimited miles 24-hour roadside assistance
• 12 month/12,000 mile replacement parts and accessories limited warranty
