Other additions in the cabin include a column-type shift-by-wire controller mounted behind the steering wheel, which frees up center console storage space, and new interior color combinations.
Hyundai did not share any other details about the updated Sonata, so assuming the powertrains stay as is, it’ll come with the same base 2.5-liter engine making 191 horsepower. The 1.6-liter turbo with 180 hp and the N Line with 290 hp should follow, along with a hybrid variant. We could also see an improvement in gas mileage, as Hyundai says the new aero-friendly exterior improves efficiency. Rumors suggest that an all-wheel-drive option will be added to the range, too.
A global launch will follow on March 30, so it won’t be long before we find out more about the radically redesigned Sonata.
