The Sonata is one of the best cars when it comes to interiors. However in comparison with Cedia it has one of the spacious interiors. 5 adults easily accommodate inside the Sonata. Well it’s a mid segment car which has looks and feel. The Cedia on the other hand is very subtle and spacious in interiors section.
Handling and feel
The oversized Sonata is bit difficult to handle. This is not the case with mid sized Cedia. It handles perfect and according to your requirements. There is not much detail with the Sonata as the car itself is meant for priced luxury.
Engine and feel
Those seat belts are really in use with the Cedia. It has preferred engine response which is perfect when your leg is heavy on the pedal. The Cedia feels relaxed to drive when in traffic or on the highway. Sonata is bit grunty with engine specs. It has a loud gear box which does not respond that well.
Time to go to the ATM
It has to be the Cedia which is cost effective and best in its class. The Sonata is an outdated car which does not perform that well. The Cedia is cheaper and is easy to maintain.
