Hyundai Sonata vs. Nissan Altima

While both cars have seating for five riders, the Hyundai Sonata has 104.4 cubic feet of passenger volume, whereas the 2023 Altima has 100.6 cubic feet of passenger volume. What does that look like on a molecular level, though?

Your rear-seat passengers will also be treated to generous dimensions. The rear seats of the 2023 Sonata are supplied with 38.4 inches of headroom. The back seats of the Altima are given 36.9 inches of headroom.

Do you need to prioritize cargo over passengers? If so, you’ll find large trunks in either sedan that you can fill with sports equipment, luggage, reusable shopping bags, or adventure gear.

We took out the measuring tape and found the Nissan Altima has a 15.4-cubic foot trunk, while the Hyundai Sonata has a 16-cubic foot trunk. Although the difference is slight, the Hyundai’s larger trunk space leaves more room for your weekend plans!

Both sedans are equipped with systems and technology ready to aid you in staying safe while driving. They each have a rearview camera that will provide a clear display of your surroundings while backing up. Plus, both sedans have a built-in safety suite that boosts your confidence on the road. Their comparable suites have these features in common:

Another feature that both models have is Lane Keeping Assist, which ensures your vehicle will stay safely within your lane and can provide gentle steering support when needed. This feature comes standard on the Sonata and is available on the Altima.

Although both sedans have standard driver-assistance suites, only one of these models goes above and beyond to help protect you in various scenarios: the 2023 Sonata. This model has even more safety features, including:

The Nissan Altima also has a helpful cruise control feature; however, the rest of the features mentioned are unique to the Hyundai Sonata.

The Altima and the Sonata both have multimedia systems that are housed in user-friendly touchscreen displays.

You’ll also get Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® integration in these sedans, which allows you to connect your compatible device to the system and use the various applications from your phone as well as listen to your favorite music, podcasts, and more.

Once you pair your phone to either sedan’s infotainment suite, you’ll gain access to their available Bose® premium audio systems, which offers superior sound quality!

Whether you’re tuning in to your favorite morning talk show, playing throwback jams, chipping away at your sci-fi audiobook, or discovering a new podcast, the Sonata’s 12 available speakers will produce a more immersive listening experience than the Altima’s nine available speakers.
