https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2020-hyundai-sonata-mazda-toyota-honda-nissan/ > The naturally aspirated engine option for the Sonata is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces a relatively healthy 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. If you opt for the turbo model, you lose around .9 liters of displacement and 11 hp, but you get 14 additional torques in trade. The Sonata is only available with an eight-speed automatic transmission that failed to elicit any complaints from our man Steve Ewing when he drove it. > By comparison, the newly turbocharged Mazda6 makes 250 horsepower on 93 octane fuel and 300 lb-ft of torque. If you opt for the lesser 2.5-liter SkyactivG engine, you get 187 hp and 186 lb-ft. The base model Sport trim is available with a perfectly lovely six-speed manual transmission, but go beyond that and Mazda's six-speed auto becomes your only trans option.
