2018-2022 Hyundai Sonata (7th-8th gen)
The Sonata is the value play of this list, a roomy midsize sedan whose used prices have fallen far enough below its original MSRP to make it one of the cheapest comfortable family cars you can buy with confidence.
Read the product overview
Sedans depreciate faster than SUVs, which is bad news for sellers but a gift to buyers: a clean 2020-2022 example with the redesigned eighth-generation styling and Hyundai's long original powertrain warranty often costs less than a much older crossover. Watch the 2.4-liter engine examples for oil-consumption history, and prefer the 1.6T or 2.5 cars where you can. Prices here drift down through winter and barely recover in spring, so this is a generation where waiting genuinely pays.

How we assess prices
We use in-stock offers checked within 72 hours. Scores compare the current offer with that retailer’s observations from the last 90 days, requiring at least 14 observed days and a price from about 30 days ago. Suspect records withhold the score. Retailer conditions and prices can change.
