Advantages of the Nissan Altima Over the Hyundai Sonata

If you're looking for a smooth-riding and practical mid-size sedan that's also dynamic and fuel-efficient, then the 2020 Nissan Altima should be at the top of your list. Nissan's recently redesigned mid-size car boasts a highly efficient standard powertrain that returns higher EPA-estimated highway fuel economy than Hyundai's new Sonata.

The 2020 Altima is a capable performer in all weather conditions, too, thanks in part to available all-wheel drive (AWD). That's right; if you want the added grip and confidence that comes with AWD, you don't have to move into a crossover! Nissan provides power to all four wheels in the new Altima AWD editions, something that Hyundai doesn't offer on its Sonata.

If you choose to purchase the 2020 Nissan Altima, you will also enjoy using its remote engine starting system to warm up or cool down your car before you get in for your drive. The hot Louisiana weather will be no match for you and your Altima, thanks to the ability to start your sedan and its air conditioning ahead of time. The 2020 Hyundai Sonata does not come standard with remote engine start.

The many differences between the 2020 Altima and Sonata do not end there. Review the helpful chart below for a more detailed look at how these two mid-size sedans match up against each other:
