Family sedans are out, and crossovers are in! At least, that’s how most consumers across the country seem to feel.

Automakers seem to be going both ways on this. Ford infamously pulled the plug last year on anything in its lineup that wasn’t a crossover/SUV, pickup truck, or a Mustang, while the Chevy Malibu isn’t long for this world. On the flip side, other automakers are doubling down — Toyota recently imbued the Camry with AWD, Kia just took the wraps off the K5 (just don’t call it an Optima), and Hyundai’s freshly redesigned Sonata hit dealers earlier this year chock full of style and some seriously impressive tech.

Which brings us to the subject of this test. Come on, for $38,599 as-tested, the top-dog Hyundai Sonata Ultimate can do tricks normally reserved for luxury sedans double the price. Throw in a frugal and smooth powertrain, a sizeable trunk and back seat, and a fairly polished cabin, and the Sonata has the goods to take a bite out of the stalwarts in the segments. Honda Accord whom?

And yet, the winner isn't as clear-cut as you think it is. Check out the full comparison test on Driving.ca right here: https://driving.ca/?p=412854
