Safety

The Hyundai Sonata comes equipped with advanced active safety technologies that ensure a secure and comfortable driving experience in all conditions. Key features include an emergency braking system that detects front obstacles to help avoid collisions, along with a lane keeping assist system that gently corrects steering to keep the vehicle centered. Additionally, the blind-spot warning system reduces the chances of accidents during lane changes.

On the passive safety front, the Sonata features a strong body structure designed to redirect crash forces away from passengers. Strategically placed front and side airbags provide additional protection in the event of an impact, offering peace of mind for both driver and passengers.

Vehicle Purchase Cost

The starting price for the new Hyundai Sonata in Saudi Arabia is approximately 94,000 SAR. With a 20% down payment (18,800 SAR), and a 60 month financing plan at a 1.9% annual interest rate, the estimated monthly installment is around 1,463 SAR.

The Sonata also holds its value well in the used market, retaining about 65% of its original price after three years. This strong resale performance makes it a smart long term financial decision for budget conscious drivers.

Running Costs

For models equipped with a gasoline engine, fuel consumption is around 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Assuming an average fuel price of 2.33 SAR per liter and an annual driving distance of 15,000 kilometers, the yearly fuel cost would be approximately 2,515 SAR, which breaks down to about 210 SAR per month.

Maintenance costs are also reasonable. The Sonata requires a major service every 10,000 kilometers, with each visit costing roughly 800 SAR. Sticking to this preventative maintenance schedule helps ensure reliable performance while keeping unexpected expenses to a minimum.
