The HYUNDAI SONATA (2005-09) 4DR SALOON 2.0 CRTD 138 CDX is a large, four-door diesel saloon, offering a more spacious, traditional alternative to family hatchbacks and SUVs. In the UK used-car market, it is a less common choice than a Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Vectra, and may appeal to buyers seeking roomy transport for modest money. Mycarcheck.com records 51 look-ups across 32 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot rather than a complete picture of every Sonata. The checked cars averaged 111,000 miles and around 6,000 miles a year; average private-sale valuation was £1,000. The data also shows about three to four previous keepers on average, so checking each car’s history and condition is especially worthwhile. With its diesel engine, comfortable cabin and generous space, this Hyundai Sonata suits families, commuters and drivers covering distances. It is best viewed as an affordable, straightforward cruiser rather than a sporty or fashionable saloon.
