What's New for 2022?
Hyundai didn't undergo a model refresh or offer any major design upgrades for the Sonata in 2022. You'll see a lot of the same features carry over from the previous model year. The one major difference that you'll notice between the 2022 model and its predecessor is the introduction of a Night Edition, which is primarily an appearance upgrade. The Night Edition was only offered on the N Line trim, which focuses on performance enhancements for a sportier ride. However, the same appearance package was also offered on the Hyundai Kona, which was only available as a limited production.
2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Interior
Open the door to the 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, and you'll be greeted to an elegant and stylish interior. You'll find sleek and soft-touch materials through, and you'll find a thoughtfully crafted cabin where attention has been given to every detail. It has an upscale feel that will make you feel like you're driving a luxury brand.
The dash and center console are carefully designed to put everything you need right at the touch of your fingers. Not only is there not a lot of clutter, but the design feels tasteful and ordered. There are no garish display screens or flashy knobs. The space is tastefully tailored with a sense of refinement.
Seating is designed for style and support, ensuring that every passenger can enjoy the ride, no matter how long it may be. The ergonomically designed seats hug where they need to and give space where they need to. The rear seats provide plenty of head, leg, and hip room so that passengers don't feel cramped.
If you upgrade to higher trim levels, you'll enjoy even more perks, like leather seating, ambient lighting, and ventilated front seats. But you won't feel like you're missing out without the upgrade. The special perks may not be there, but the comfort and style will be.
You'll find plenty of cargo space in the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, as well. The trunk offers 16 cubic feet of space, giving you plenty of room to haul your daily cargo. It is large enough to fit seven carry-on suitcases. When you need a bit more room for gear, you can fold the rear seats to open up more. There's a 60/40 split in the rear seats for flexibility.

Exterior Design
The 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is not your typical boring sedan. While it may have a conservative design, the impact is one of sophisticated luxury. The Sonata Hybrid has a sleek body with thoughtfully placed lines and entails throughout. You'll find smooth grooves that accent the features of the sedan, such as just under the windows, around the wheel wells, and along the hood.
The front end of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid includes a distinctive light signature with winged headlights that are outlined in a thin, arrow-like line. An outer corner of the headlight appears to connect with an accent bar that swoops out toward the wheels before returning back and running under the grille, connecting to the other side. The result is a design that makes it look like the two headlights are connected in forward motion.
You'll find a similar treatment in the rear, where a lighted bar connects the two taillights. The light bar runs underneath the Hyundai logo, creating a unique emphasis. A sloping roofline meets an understated spoiler at the rear, ensuring that the intentionality in the design is seen through all the way to the end.
You'll see a few upgrades on the exterior with higher trim levels, such as LED lighting or a solar roof, but the design remains mostly consistent throughout the trim levels.
