In the home market, the transformed «four-door» is presented with the same technique, while the «sported» version is now available with several motors to choose from .
Hyundai revealed the design of the facelifted Sonata in March, and held a public show the same month at the Seoul Motor Show. By the way, in Korea, the model acquired a “surname” – The Edge. Now, in the homeland of the brand, prices and configurations have been announced, and local dealers have begun to take orders. But first, let's go over the main changes again.
The sedan changed its image, and radically. The Sonata received a different grille and bumpers, new headlights were installed lower than those of the pre-reform model, in addition, a single diode strip now flaunts above them — like the older Hyundai Grandeur sedan and the new Solaris. The taillights have also been replaced. The “warmed up” version of the N Line also remained in the ranks, its chips are a more aggressive body kit and exposed twin exhaust pipes.

After restyling, the length of the Korean Hyundai Sonata increased by 10 mm to 4910 mm, the remaining dimensions are the same: width — 1860 mm, height — 1445 mm, wheelbase — 2840 mm. Models are equipped with 16-, 17-, 18-, or 19-inch wheels.
The cabin has a curved scoreboard, new steering wheel, front panel and climate control unit. The stalk now controls the transmission.

The transformed Hyundai Sonata is offered to Koreans with the same technology. The range of the standard sedan includes petrol «aspirated» 2.0 (160 hp) and «turbo» 1.6 T-GDI (180 hp), plus a gas engine 2.0 LPG (146 hp). Two-liter engines are combined with a six-speed «automatic», the turbo engine is paired with 8AKP. The model also comes in the form of a hybrid with an installation based on a 2.0 engine, with a total output of 195 hp.

The N Line version retained the 2.5 T-GDI turbo engine (290 hp) and an eight-speed robotic box, while the “heated” sedan can now be bought with 2.0 and 1.6 T-GDI engines from the regular Sonata. As before, in Korea, the “four-door” is presented exclusively with front-wheel drive. Meanwhile, spies had previously caught a disguised prototype with the designation 4WD: most likely, all-wheel drive will appear in the American Sonata (its premiere is yet to come).
In the home market, the restyled Sonata is available in four trim levels (including the N Line). “In the base” there are nine airbags, a multimedia system, a simple air conditioner, heated steering wheel and front seats, cruise control, auto-braking and lane keeping systems. The arsenal of expensive versions includes climate control, a head-up display, all-round cameras, an adaptive cruise and an expanded set of assistants. .jpg» />
The price of a standard upgraded Hyundai Sonata The Edge starts at $21,000, a heated N Line sedan starts at $27,300, and a hybrid will cost at least $25,000.
The modernized four-door should reach other countries later this year. In Russia, such a Sonata will probably be supplied only under the parallel import scheme.
Meanwhile, the related Hyundai Sonata Kia K5 sedan is preparing for restyling.
