2024 Hyundai Sonata Photos, engines & full specs

Hyundai refreshed the eighth generation of the Sonata at the beginning of 2023 for the 2024 model-year, thus improving the car's look both on the inside and the outside.

The Korean automaker refreshed the Sonata after four years after the launch of the eighth generation of this model. Even though its styling was not outdated nor dull, the mid-size sedan had already started to show its age. Furthermore, the technological package was also updated, with a new infotainment system and a new dashboard and instrument panel.

Thanks to its continuous light strip across the front fascia, the refreshed eighth generation of the Sonata looked like it was ready for the future. All the other main components of the front fascia were placed underneath that signature light. On the sides, the LED headlights were above side scoops while the main grille took center stage, adorned with a hexagonal pattern. From its profile, the fastback silhouette was just an illusion since the vehicle was a three-box sedan but with a raked forward rear windscreen.

Inside, the most striking new element was the dashboard. Hyundai installed a new combo of an instrument panel and infotainment unit, both being protected by the same glass panel. This idea was already present in other Hyundai models, such as the Elantra of the Ioniq6. Both displays wore the same 12.5” diagonal size, and the result was spectacular. The door panels looked like they sported a slightly altered design. At the same time, the seats were available with new upholstery colors. Yet, in the back, adults had some problems with the headroom.
