23 MPG? There goes my idea of getting a 2.0T if I decide to replace my hybrid. I was thinking that 8.0 second 0-60 seems kind of slow for turbo. I did a quick search on Motor Trend's site -
Despite many changes, Hyundai kept the same engines. Most buyers will find the standard 2.4-liter engine sufficient with 185 hp, as we’ve noted before. The 2.0-liter turbo-four engine still makes 245 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, but it receives a new eight-speed automatic transmission. The turbocharged Sonata drives like a V-6 without feeling bulky.
Remarkably, our turbocharged 2018 Sonata tester went from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds. That’s almost a whole second quicker than the prerefresh 2015 Sonata Sport 2.0T we clocked at 8.0 seconds.
Unfortunately, this more potent Sonata is slower than its direct competitors. A 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T Touring we tested reached 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds, tying a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu 2.0T Premier we’ve also tested.
The Sonata also fell behind in the quarter-mile run with a time of 15.3 seconds at 93.7 mph. The Accord managed the run in 14.3 seconds at 99.3 mph, and the Malibu sped through the test in 14.3 seconds at 99.4 mph.

I believe the hybrid is a 16.0-16.3 second car if fuel economy is being tossed aside for a little performance.
As MPGs, my '14 is solidly in the mid-30s without trying. 40+ is easy when I pay attention to driving for mileage.
