Performance and Handling
The 2019 Hyundai Sonata and the 2019 Mazda6 offer slightly different engine and transmission options that make a big difference in the quality of your drive. Compared to the 9.2 seconds in the Mazda6, the Sonata will get you from zero to 60 in 8.3 seconds, making for a smoother, more responsive drive. The Sonata also has an available eight-speed automatic transmission to give you better acceleration and handling on the highway, while the Mazda6 only offers a six-speed transmission. Overall, the Sonata will give you more control and a smoother ride than the Mazda6.

Fuel Efficiency
When looking at comparable trim levels of the 2019 Hyundai Sonata compared to the 2019 Mazda6, the Sonata provides better fuel efficiency. The 2019 Hyundai Sonata offers 5 trim levels to help you customize your balance between performance and efficiency with the base level, the SE providing 26 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. If you upgrade your Sonata, you’ll only lose a few miles per gallon in fuel efficiency but gain a lot of power and performance. With the 2019 Mazda6, the Sport base model offers the same fuel efficiency, but you’ll notice a significant drop off if you choose to upgrade trim levels.

Technology

The Sonata offers standard Apple Car Play and Android Auto to keep you connected with your calls, texts, navigation and music throughout your drive. You’ll have to upgrade trim levels to get these features on the Mazda6. The Sonata also provides a more intuitive infotainment system with on-screen buttons and voice control while the drivers have noted that the Mazda6’s interface is confusing and distracting.
