The 2017 Hyundai Sonata and the 2017 Nissan Altima can provide great luxury and performance for everyone in Dover, Rodney Village, and Wyoming. But which sedan is better for you?
Choosing between two impressive sedans can be tough, but Winner Hyundai can make things easier. Check out our 2017 Hyundai Sonata vs Nissan Altima comparison below to discover which vehicle offers everything you need and more for the road ahead.
Luxury Interior Design
The interior of the 2017 Hyundai Sonata is designed with luxury in mind. It features plush seating, and all surfaces are adorned with high-quality materials for added luxury and sophistication. Plus the Sonata keeps you comfortable thanks to its heated and ventilated front seats and available dual front automatic temperature control.
Best of all, the interior of the Sonata is spacious. It has more than 106 cubic feet of passenger volume. It also has 45.5 inches of legroom in the front seats and 35.6 inches of legroom in the back seats.
The 2017 Nissan Altima offers an equally luxurious interior complete with high-quality materials and comfort amenities. However, its interior will feel a little cramped compared to the Sonata. While the Altima offers similar legroom measurements, it only has 100 cubic feet of overall passenger volume.
Hyundai Sonata vs. Nissan Altima Technologies
When it comes to technologies, the 2017 Hyundai Sonata has everything you need to keep you entertained for the road ahead. Its infotainment system offers available Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. These integrate your smartphone to the in-vehicle technology so you can use the car's voice recognition software to make calls, send texts, and even use your favorite navigation and media apps when you're behind the wheel.
For your convenience, the 2017 Sonata offers the hands-free smart trunk. This will open your trunk automatically when your hands are full to make loading cargo easier.
An infotainment system is available in the Altima as well, but it doesn't come with advanced smartphone integration technologies. The Nissan Altima also doesn't offer a hands-free smart trunk for your convenience.
Dependable Safety

Unfortunately, that's all you'll get with the Altima. The 2017 Sonata, on the other hand, offers more dependable safety features. For example, it comes with available Smart Cruise Control with start/stop capability. This adjusts the speed and stops the car if necessary when driving in cruise control.
Other safety technologies available for the 2017 Hyundai Sonata include:
- Rear Parking Sonars
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Change Assist
