The Hyundai Sonata is ranked among the best midsize cars, and the sporty sedan has a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).[1] With a starting price in the mid-$20,000 range, the Sonata’s insurance costs are in line with similar models, like the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Nissan Altima.

Despite a relatively low starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), a Hyundai Sonata is slightly more expensive to insure than the national average.

Hyundais are backed by a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, which is one of the longest in the industry.

How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Hyundai Sonata
From cracked windshields to theft and major collisions, the right car insurance coverage can protect you from financial stress. As you review your coverage needs and budget, consider the following key insurance types:[3]
Liability coverage
Every state except New Hampshire requires liability insurance, which pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others in an accident. While you can save money up front by sticking to your state’s minimum, many experts suggest higher coverage limits to protect yourself financially.[4]
Other state-mandated coverages
Some states require additional insurance, such as personal injury protection (PIP), medical payments coverage, or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Make sure you understand your state’s laws to avoid penalties.
Collision coverage
Collision insurance pays for your vehicle’s repairs if it’s damaged in a crash with another car or object. If you own your car outright and can afford to cover repairs, you might consider skipping collision coverage. Opting for a higher deductible can also reduce your premium.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance covers damage unrelated to collisions — think theft, vandalism, fire, or natural disasters. If you finance your vehicle, your lender will likely require a full-coverage policy (including comprehensive and collision coverage).[5] Still, you can consider dropping it once you’ve paid off your loan or your car’s value declines.
Optional add-ons
Many insurers offer extra features like rental car reimbursement, roadside assistance, and accident forgiveness. Depending on your needs and budget, these coverages can provide more protection and convenience.

On average, USAA offers the cheapest coverage for Hyundai Sonata drivers. But State Farm and Allstate also offer cheap rates.
Compared to all vehicles in the U.S., the Hyundai Sonata is slightly more expensive to insure on average. But coverage costs are roughly the same relative to similar midsize sedans.

The Hyundai Sonata has a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It also checks all the boxes for standard features, and drivers benefit from an impressive manufacturer’s warranty.
But the Sonata offers less rear legroom compared to other midsize sedans, and the stylish exterior conceals a more modest interior.
Methodology
Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
- Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
- Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
- No additional coverage
- Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
- Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
