What taxes and fees get added to a Sonata Hybrid price in Texas?

Texas adds motor vehicle sales tax to the vehicle price. The state rate is 6.25 percent of the sales price, minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). Title and registration fees come on top of that, so the total you pay is higher than the MSRP.

Registration starts with a base fee of $50.75 for a passenger vehicle or truck of 6,000 pounds or less. In Harris County, a local fee of $11.50 is added to that base fee (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).

Advertised prices may exclude taxes, title, registration and certain fees. Ask for the out-the-door figure before you agree to a price, so you compare the same numbers.

How much more does the Sonata Hybrid cost than the regular Sonata?

The gasoline Sonata SE starts at $27,450, and the Sonata SEL Sport starts at $29,150. The Sonata Blue Hybrid starts at $29,200, which puts it close to the SEL Sport on starting price.

Fuel economy is where the two separate. The 2026 Sonata Hybrid is rated at 44 city, 51 highway and 47 combined mpg, while the gasoline Sonata FWD with Stop-Start is rated at 28 city, 38 highway and 32 combined mpg (EPA certification records). The Hybrid Blue reaches 51 combined mpg.

How do I work out a monthly payment on a Sonata Hybrid in Houston?
