The Hyundai Sonata is a well-rounded midsize sedan offering strong interior space, modern technology, and competitive pricing in Saudi Arabia's family-car segment. The 2026 Sonata starts from SAR 101,016.
The range opens with the Fleet / L (Base), a practical entry point that still includes Hyundai's standard safety suite and infotainment essentials. The top-tier LTD Premium (Top) adds premium comfort features including ventilated front seats, a panoramic roof, a larger digital display, and an upgraded audio system — making it a strong alternative to similarly priced European sedans. Both trims run a 2.5 L petrol engine producing 194 bhp through an Automatic gearbox. With no fuel economy figure listed for the KSA specification, the Sonata is competitive on fuel efficiency for its class given its naturally aspirated setup in a midsize body.
Pros: the Sonata offers one of the more distinctive designs in the midsize sedan class — a welcome contrast to the conservative styling of many rivals. Rear-seat space and cabin quality at the price point are genuine strengths, and Hyundai's local service network in Saudi Arabia is extensive. Cons: the lack of a hybrid variant in the Saudi lineup puts it at a running-cost disadvantage versus the Toyota Camry Hybrid for high-mileage buyers. Resale values in the used market show a meaningful depreciation curve, which buyers should factor into total cost of ownership.
Formal residual-value data for the Sonata is not available for the KSA market. That said, 2023 Sonata examples currently list from around SAR 62,000 on CarSwitch — approximately 39% below the current new-car entry price — and 2024 examples from around SAR 72,000, showing a healthy volume of recent stock available for buyers considering the used market instead.
With the comparables field currently unpopulated, buyers cross-shopping the Sonata in Saudi Arabia typically consider the Toyota Camry, Kia K5, and Nissan Altima — all midsize sedans competing on space, equipment, and brand value in a similar price bracket.
