Stevens Point Auto Center – All-Weather Confidence Meets Sporty Comfort: The 2026 Sonata SEL Sport HTRAC around Stevens Point, WI
Wisconsin drivers ask for two things from a sedan—steady all-season confidence and smart, modern features that simplify everyday life. The 2026 Hyundai Sonata SEL Sport answers with available HTRAC All Wheel Drive, crisp steering, and a cabin built around the panoramic curved display. It is the balanced trim that keeps commutes relaxed, weekend drives engaging, and your digital life within easy reach.
What stands out first is how naturally SEL Sport manages the changing seasons. HTRAC All Wheel Drive works quietly in the background, distributing torque for reassuring traction on wet or snow-covered roads while preserving the Sonata’s calm, composed ride. The 18-inch alloy wheels and paddle shifters add athletic flair without tipping the car into harshness. Dual Automatic Temperature Control maintains even comfort on both sides of the cabin, and wireless device charging clears clutter from the console. On the tech front, the 12.3-inch touchscreen is bright and responsive, while the available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster frames key info intuitively—especially valuable when weather and traffic demand your focus.
Driver assistance is equally well-sorted. Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist help you navigate urban traffic and crowded lots, while Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go reduces fatigue on longer stretches. Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, High Beam Assist, and Driver Attention Warning all contribute to the Sonata’s quiet confidence. Beyond the basics, Bluelink+ and Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium streamline your routine—remote start, lock/unlock, status checks, and trusted digital access are all in your pocket. Add the hands-free smart trunk release, and your errands just got easier.
Inside, SEL Sport feels more upscale than you might expect. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has a reassuring, precise feel. The panoramic curved display stretches elegantly across the dash, making your favorite apps—via Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™—look polished and easy to use. Available Bose® premium audio with 12 speakers deepens podcasts and playlists, and the Sonata’s refined cabin design means conversations stay clear at highway speed. If your priorities are clarity, comfort, and capability, this trim feels like the smart middle lane between basic and over-the-top.
Why choose SEL Sport over SE, N Line, or a hybrid trim? If you value available all-wheel traction without the added firmness of a performance setup, SEL Sport is the sweet spot. It gives you the poised 2.5L MPI/GDI engine, the convenience of wireless charging, the calm of dual-zone climate, and access to the largest screen layout without stepping into the track-inspired tuning of N Line. If premium fuel economy is your top goal, the hybrid trims are compelling—but for drivers who want straightforward simplicity, traction confidence, and a generous tech suite, SEL Sport makes daily life feel easy.
