Overview: 2017 Hyundai Sonata and Honda Accord

The 2017 Sonata and Accord each offer a variety of great features, such as strong fuel efficiency. The Hyundai offers an EPA-estimated 28 city/36 highway MPG, and the Honda offers an almost identical 27 city/36 highway MPG.

You'll probably want to fill up your trunk with groceries or luggage for a trip from time to time, so you'll need your new car to have plenty of cargo space.

The 2017 Hyundai Sonata features 16.3 cubic feet of space for all of your essentials, while the 2017 Honda Accord has only 15.5 cubic feet of space. Both vehicles feature 60/40 split folding back seats so you can create the best configuration to bring along whatever you need to transport.

The Tech Treatment: Hyundai vs. Honda

Any new car should be expected to come decked out with standard tech features - it's 2017, after all! The 2017 Sonata has a lot to offer in this department, with a 6-speaker sound system and Apple CarPlay™ and Android™ Auto, so you can listen to music directly from your smartphone.

Standard satellite radio gives you access to hundreds of channels, so you can jam to your favorite genre or discover something new on your commute through Greenville, Wilson, and Rocky Mount.

The Honda Accord is equipped with standard USB ports and Bluetooth® connectivity, as well as a four-speaker sound system. Unfortunately, options to add more speakers or satellite radio will cost you extra, as they are not standard.

Comfort & Convenience: Hyundai vs. Honda

Don't you want your car to make your life more comfortable and convenient? The Hyundai Sonata offers an exceptionally quiet ride, so no road or engine noise will intrude upon your serene morning commute.

An available smart trunk will make your life so much easier when you're trying to load up your car with your hands full of shopping bags. If you have the 2017 Sonata's key in your pocket or purse, you can simply stand behind the vehicle for three seconds, and the trunk's lid will open for you.

Available heated leather seats and leather-wrapped steering wheels can provide either the Sonata or the Accord with additional luxury and comfort, while a smooth, refined ride minimizes road bumps.
