The growth of the SUV market, followed by crossovers, has put a lot of pressure on four-door or sedan cars. One after another, sedan models face production stops or their supply continues to be more limited than in the past. However, the Koreans do not intend to surrender; Because now they have introduced Hyundai Sonata 2024 to us. The facelift version of the Korean sedan has a completely different appearance than the previous generation. However, it cannot be said that this car is a new car. Hyundai Sonata 2024 is actually the 8th generation facelift version of this popular Korean sedan, which is now in the middle of its life.
As a facelift, the Korean sedan has experienced major exterior and interior changes. Hyundai Sonata is currently the main competitor of Toyota Camry in the global market, and for this reason, the Koreans have applied an extensive visual update to its face.
The design of the 2024 Hyundai Sonata clearly follows the pattern of the Hyundai Kona. Wide LED lights, a large grille with larger air intakes and a stretched hood are some of the elements of this design style. In the rear part, the similarities between the Hyundai and Honda Civic products have disappeared; Because the lights of this car follow a new design style and are similar to other semi-luxury Hyundai cars.
Interior design and technical specifications of Hyundai Sonata 2024
In addition to the exterior design, the interior of Hyundai Sonata 2024 has also changed. The wide and curved cluster covers a large part of the car’s dashboard, which plays a role in the form of two separate 12.3-inch screens. The gear change pedals are also located behind the steering column and the space of the middle console of the car is quiet and peaceful. A large interior along with a tray and a hand rest space are among the internal improvements of the facelift version of the Korean sedan compared to the previous version.
Detailed information about the engine of the 2024 Hyundai Sonata has not been announced, but in many regions of the world, this car will still be offered with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. Of course, the Koreans plan to release the N-Line Sonata version with a more powerful engine. The more powerful Hyundai Sonata is equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers up to 290 horsepower.
Despite Hyundai’s emphasis on hatchbacks and sedans, there’s one more troubling thing about the 2024 Hyundai Sonata. Hyundai is determined to become an all-electric car manufacturer in the near future. Therefore, the 8th generation Sonata will be the last version of this popular Korean sedan. Additional information about the facelift version of the Korean sedan will be released in April.
