The Sonata Hybrid is not only the lightest car in its segment – tipping the scales at just 3,457 pounds, a full 263 pounds lighter than the Ford Fusion Hybrid – but also leads the category with a combined output of 209 horsepower. Power is shifted through a conventional six-speed automatic transmission – unlike most hybrids which utilize a continuously variable (CVT) transmission.
