Pricing for the mid-size 2012 Sonata Hybrid, just announced by Hyundai, begins at $25,850, excluding $760 destination charge.

This is good news for consumers in the market for a stylish five-passenger sedan that's rated at 40 mpg highway fuel economy. And the starting price is just $55 higher than that of the 2011 model.

The Sonata Hybrid’s star attraction has to be the 166-horsepower 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine that, augmented by the 40-horsepower electric motor, yields a total output of 206 horsepower. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, the combination is good for the aforementioned EPA-rated 40-mpg highway, 35 mpg city, and 37 mpg combined fuel economy.

New for 2012 is a Leather package, a $1,500 option, including heated front and rear seats, auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink and compass, and leather seats, steering wheel and shift knob.

There’s also the Ultimate package costing $5,500, which includes everything in the Leather package plus panoramic sunroof, 17-inch wheels, backup camera, navigation, premium audio system and a few other goodies.

The 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
