2020 Hyundai SONATA

Feature Highlight

Design & Styling
  • Radical Redesign: Features Hyundai’s “Sensuous Sportiness” design language with sharp lines, a dramatic fastback-like roofline, and hidden “Digital Pulse” LED daytime running lights integrated into the chrome grille surround.

  • Coupe-Like Silhouette: Low, wide stance with a sweeping roofline that gives it a sporty four-door-coupe appearance.

  • Lighting: Standard LED headlights and taillights with unique lighting signatures.

Performance & Powertrain
  • Engine Options:

    • Base: 2.5L naturally aspirated inline-4 (191 hp, 181 lb-ft)

    • Turbo: 1.6L turbocharged inline-4 (180 hp, 195 lb-ft) – more torque, better efficiency

  • Transmission: All models use an 8-speed automatic transmission (shift-by-wire with push-button gear selection).

  • Hybrid Model: Available Sonata Hybrid with a 2.0L GDI engine + electric motor (192 hp combined) and a 6-speed automatic hybrid transmission.

  • Driving Character: Tuned for comfort and quietness, with responsive steering; not a sporty sedan but a refined cruiser.
