Midsize sedan, family sedan, whichever you prefer, is a segment that’s fraught with choices. We at Pohanka Hyundai are here to help you wade through some of them with our comparison between the 2017 Hyundai Sonata vs 2017 Chevrolet Malibu near College Park, MD.

When it comes to determining which vehicle will give you more bang for your buck, looking at the standard trim will give you a good indication. The Sonata base model comes equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels, full power accessories, heated mirrors, Bluetooth® phone and audio connectivity, and a 60/40 split-folding second row. The Malibu, you may be surprised to find, only offers one of these amenities on its base trim: the 60/40 split-folding second row. While it does boast Bluetooth®1 phone connectivity, you won’t be able to play your music via this route, and the wheels are steel, rather than alloy, which is heavier. When adjusting the seat in the Malibu, it’s entirely manual, so finding the perfect seating position will be difficult in comparison with the Sonata!

Let’s take a look at some of the higher trims in this 2017 Hyundai Sonata vs 2017 Chevrolet Malibu near College Park, MD, comparison. The Sonata adds luxury features like leather upholstery as you opt for higher trims, whereas the Malibu only provides leather if you add on either the Convenience or Technology package, and then pay even more for the Leather package. When it comes to safety features, you’ll notice a huge disparity in mentality. The Sonata Limited comes standard with an auto-dimming rearview mirror, as well as Blind Spot Detection2 with Rear Cross-traffic Alert3 and Lane Change Assist4. The Limited 2.0T adds onto that with standard rear parking sensors5, the Lane Departure Warning System6, and Automatic Emergency Braking7.  Plus, many of the features on the higher trims can be equipped on lower trims! All equivalent driving aids on the Malibu require an extra package and only come with certain trims.

2.Blind Spot Detection assists the driver by warning of other cars in the blind spot region. It senses the rear side territory of the vehicle when it is traveling over 20 mph. 4Lane Change Assist provides an audible and visual alert if the turn signal is activated and another vehicle in the blind spot is sensed. The turn signals must be activated for the Lane Change Assist to function. There are limitations to the function, range, detection and clarity of the system. It will not detect all vehicles or objects in the blind spot. Its operation depends on the size, distance, angle and relative speed difference between your car and other cars. Blind Spot Detection and Lane Change Assist may not operate if sensors are obscured in any way. Do not rely exclusively on Blind Spot Detection. Blind Spot Detection is a supplemental system and the driver must still be attentive and exercise caution when driving with it. It is important to always signal, look over your shoulder and through your mirrors before changing lanes. It is the driver’s responsibility to be aware of the surroundings and ensure it is clear before changing lanes or directions. Blind Spot Detection is only meant to assist the driver in these responsibilities. 

3. The Rear Cross-traffic Alert system is designed to notify drivers of approaching cross-traffic behind the vehicle. When a vehicle is detected, it provides an audible warning and visual display warning. Rear Cross-traffic Alert is a supplemental system and the driver must still exercise extreme caution when backing up. Drivers must always turn and view oncoming traffic before backing up. 

4. The Lane Departure Warning with Lane Change Assist is designed to notify the driver if the vehicle is leaving the lane of travel by audible and flashing a display signal.

5. The optional rear parking sensors are a supplemental system and not a substitute for proper backing up procedures. The system is designed to audibly warn the driver of objects 50 inches behind the vehicle. When active, the system operates when you are in reverse at up to 6 mph. System may not detect every object behind you. Always look over your shoulder and use the rearview camera and mirrors to confirm clearance. System effectiveness depends on many factors. See your owner's manual for details.

6. Lane Departure Warning will not work under all circumstances. It functions when it is able to detect painted lane markings. It cannot function if the lane markings cannot be seen clearly if the lines are faded, or during dusk without headlights on, with snow, rain, sleet, dust, leaves or standing water on road, sudden changes in brightness such as shadows, tunnel exits/entrances, low sunlight angle causing reflections, multiple lane markings or criss-crossed lines, tar crack sealer and cracked or broken road surfaces. It also may not function on very rough roads, when walls, curbs or concrete barriers are close by, or if following another car too closely. Since it “sees” the lane markings using a camera in the upper windshield area, it is imperative this area be clear and free of blockage such as stickers, dirt, snow, tinting material, markings and labels. Avoid putting objects on the dashboard that may reflect light or images onto the system camera area. 

7. Automatic emergency braking (AEB) is designed to detect vehicles whose taillights are directly in front of the Sonata. AEB will not detect objects other than cars. AEB initiates full braking at speeds between 5 and 50 mph. AEB is not a substitute for safe driving. See Owner’s Manual for details and limitations.
