Does the 2016 Hyundai Sonata have auto start-stop?
On some configurations. Yes on the 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid and 2.0L 4-cylinder plug-in hybrid. No on the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo, 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and 2.4L 4-cylinder.
Key takeaways
- Start-stop cars restart the engine many times per drive, so they are usually fitted with an AGM or EFB battery - replace like with like.
- Most systems have an off button that disables start-stop until the engine is next started; some models remember the setting.
