Here's the straight read on the 2020 Hyundai Sonata. This example sold for $19,995, showed 127,209 km and is rated an official 7.7 L/100km combined.

This 2020 Hyundai Sonata Ultimate in sleek Gray combines turbocharged performance with a loaded feature set, all for $19,995. With 127,209 km, it's equipped with leather seating, a sunroof, and a full suite of Hyundai SmartSense safety tech. A comfortable, tech-forward sedan that's ready for London winters and daily commutes alike.

What stood out about this one

I've sold a lot of Sonatas over the years, and this Ultimate trim always stands out to me because of how much car you actually get. When this one came in, I immediately noticed how clean the leather seats looked and how solid the cabin still felt despite the kilometres on it.

What I like most about this generation of Sonata is the turbocharged engine — it's got more pep than people expect from a mid-size sedan, but it still drives smooth and comfortable for daily commuting. The tech package on this Ultimate trim, from the sunroof to the heated seats to the full safety suite, makes it feel like a much more expensive car.

If you're looking for a well-rounded sedan that won't break the bank but still feels special every time you get in it, I think this one is worth a look. Come by South West Auto Group and take it for a drive — I think you'll be impressed.

  • Confirm the turbocharged 1.6L engine has had regular oil changes, as turbo engines benefit from consistent maintenance

Highlights

The 2020 Hyundai Sonata Ultimate represents the top of the Sonata lineup, and it shows the moment you sit inside. This is the trim that got automotive journalists talking, with its bold styling, turbocharged 1.6L engine, and a cabin loaded with premium touches usually reserved for luxury brands costing far more. It's a sedan built for buyers who want comfort, tech, and efficiency without compromise. Inside, the leather-appointed cabin offers heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power driver's seat with memory settings — all wrapped in a modern, driver-focused layout. The touchscreen infotainment system supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your phone integrates seamlessly whether you're commuting through downtown London or heading out on the 401. Safety was clearly a priority for this trim. Hyundai's SmartSense suite brings Blind Spot Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking — technology that gives drivers real peace of mind in everyday Ontario traffic and winter conditions. At $19,995, this Sonata Ultimate is a smart buy for anyone who wants a well-equipped, comfortable sedan without paying new-car prices. It's ideal for commuters, small families, or anyone who appreciates a car that feels more premium than its price tag suggests.

South West's Take: “This Sonata Ultimate is one of those cars that surprises people — it's got the tech and comfort of a luxury sedan but at a price that just makes sense. If you want heated leather seats, a sunroof, and top-tier safety features without stretching your budget, I'd genuinely recommend taking this one for a test drive.”
