Coupe-like Proportions, Competitive Pricing, Roomy Interior, Safety And Convenience Features

Hyundai has completely redesigned the Sonata for 2020. The car showcases Hyundai's bold new styling direction with a bigger, more aggressive grille and a curvier rear end that gives the mid-sized sedan a coupe-like presence. While past Sonatas have had somewhat subdued styling, the new design is bold and extroverted. The mission of the Sonata remains unchanged however, where it provides plenty of space and comfort, combined with build quality and a base price that is lower than many of its competitors.

The Hyundai Sonata has always been a good value, priced lower than the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord. However, Hyundai wanted to give buyers more than just an inexpensive alternative, but rather tech features, stand-out styling and comfort. Not only does the new Sonata have a claimed best-in-class front seat head and leg room, the 2020 model gets Hyundai's new SmartSense safety suite along with great looks and a stylish interior.
