2026 Hyundai Sonata SE

The driver-assistance suite here is genuinely comprehensive for the SE grade. Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology reads traffic ahead, holds a set following distance, and brings the car to a complete stop in congested conditions before resuming on its own — a real advantage on the Kennedy or the Dan Ryan.

Lane-keep assist works alongside it to help hold the lane. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert cover the mirrors and the reversing angle that city parking makes tricky.

Forward collision avoidance with pedestrian detection and brake assist round out the picture.

Connectivity is handled by wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so the phone stays in a pocket while the touchscreen mirrors navigation, music, and calls. Satellite radio, Bluetooth, steering-wheel audio controls, and voice recognition are all present.

Keyless entry with remote engine start means the cabin is already the right temperature before the commute begins. Rear parking sensors help thread Chicago street parking, and the trunk releases hands-free.

Because this Sonata served briefly as a loaner, it has 4,498 miles on the odometer and carries the remainder of its factory warranty — not a factory order, not a wait, just a white sedan on the floor ready to go. Option Group 01 is on the window sticker, along with the cargo tray, carpeted floor mats, and cargo net that come with it.

Napleton Downtown Hyundai is at 2700 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL — on Motor Row at S. Michigan Ave. and 27th St., steps from McCormick Place and the Cermak–McCormick Place Green Line, and a short drive from Hyde Park, Bridgeport, Pilsen, the Loop, and the West Loop.

Napleton has been family-owned for more than 80 years, and the process here is straightforward: no pressure, no surprises. If a white sedan with this safety package is what you've been looking for, this one is worth a closer look.
