Howdy, I'm over 60 years old, retired and thinking about the Sonata Hybrid as the last car I'll buy. My main concern is this.....does it have a regular spare or a space saver spare, or am I up a creek when it comes to usable spare tires? Also, can I install a hitch on this car and pull something small like a light utility trailer? What's the specs on towing capabilities?

Any response from anyone in hopes of becoming a part of this group.

 

Outside of pickups, I don't know of ANY car that has a regular spare. At best it has a space saver spare . . . assuming it has a spare at all. Many new cars make the spare tire OPTIONAL equipment you have to buy. They only come with a can of sealant and an air pump to fix a flat tire. I believe the Sonata Hybrid only has the "repair kit", no spare at all. You will have to buy one (and a jack) optionally.

And Hyundai suggests NOT towing with the Sonata Hybrid.
