The All New 2024 Hyundai Sonata! The Sedan Of The Future!

Since its arrival for the 2019 model year, the eighth-generation Hyundai Sonata has been an attention-grabber. However, the new 2024 Hyundai Sonata is here, and it looks sportier and even more futuristic, but let’s dive in to see what else is new…

The 2024 Hyundai Sonata has been showcased in full for the very first time, and while not 100% of the details on this mid-size sedan have been released, the Korean manufacturer refers to it as "more than a simple facelift" of the 8th-generation model.
However, here’s what we know so far…
Capturing the brand's Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy, the 2024 Sonata takes inspiration from the 2nd-gen Hyundai Kona by adopting a full-width LED light bar at the front. The main headlamps are hidden in the upper portion of the air intakes and joined by a wider grille and sharper, more dramatic lines.

The overall appearance of the all-new 2024 Sonata is remarkably eye-catching and is a significant improvement over the outgoing iteration of the eighth generation. Isn’t it funny how a few small changes can make all the difference?

The inspiration for the new Sonata has been taken from the second generation of the Kona subcompact crossover, including the adoption of the LED light bar across the entire width of the front end.
Thanks to the headlamps being hidden in the upper section of the air intakes, these are now flanking a wider grille. And thanks to all that, much sharper and more dramatic lines are evident across the whole front fascia. And that's not all the work Hyundai has done.
The biggest impression on the front end is the Robocop-like horizontal LED strip that runs across the bumper line. That aids the headlamps now incorporated into the grille. Out back, the molding for the taillight design remains. Instead of a full red-lit element, the bumper-wide light design takes on an H-shape LED rear fascia mimicking the smaller Elantra.
A new hood creates much more pronounced lines for the Sonata. Black garnish is across the bottom of the car's body, creating an incredibly sporty vibe for the mid-size sedan. The back of the Sonata has also seen plenty of changes.
For those who admire the N Line version, dual mufflers and 19-inch wheels are two of the features of that particular version. These are a revised trunk lid plus an LED light bar similar to that at the front of the car. The new Sonata's exterior is a work of art, and Hyundai is also set to ensure that the mechanical side is just as impressive.

Hyundai has recently revealed the powertrain options for the latest version of the Sonata. Much like the 2023 model, the Sonata lineup will include a base, gasoline 2.5-liter engine with 191 horsepower, a 2.5-liter turbo engine with 180 horsepower, plus a 2.0-liter hybrid electric with 195 horsepower. We can expect 0-60mph times of 7.9 seconds, 7.1 seconds, and 7.6 seconds respectively.

The N-Line model's turbo engine produces 290 horsepower and is specifically designed for those of us who are a little more enthusiastic about driving…getting you from 0-60 in just 5 seconds, at least six tenths faster than the fastest Toyota Camry on offer.

One notable absence from the 2024 engine lineup is the optional 1.6-liter turbocharged unit that was available on higher trims of previous Sonatas. That’s now a thing of the past.
Hyundai's e-Motion Drive is a feature of the HEV version, which Hyundai says will allow for smooth and comfortable driving in various conditions. There is also a paddle shifter that enhances that sporty vibe on board, and there is regenerative braking as well.
As Hyundai did with the Ioniq 5 and 6, the Sonata is as aerodynamically efficient as possible. You don’t need to be an aeronautical engineer to immediately see that the new, sleek, streamlined design is about improving fuel efficiency and stability during high-speed driving.
Hyundai claims that the car now provides excellent aerodynamic performance, with as little air resistance as possible. The manufacturer hasn't revealed any numbers regarding the Sonata's drag coefficient. But we would imagine it should drop in the 0.21-0.25 range, similar to that of the Ioniq 6 streamliner plus the Ioniq 5. Those are some impressive numbers for the Sonata.
The transmission choices are an 8-speed automatic, an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic for the N Line, and a 6-speed automatic for the hybrid.

For those of you who’ve done your research, you’ll find that many of the features available on the Sonata are also available on the familial twin, the Kia K5.

With SUVs stealing the limelight, it may seem like sedans are on the downturn, but there is still a market for them in North America & Europe, with nearly all companies continue to sell at least one mid-size offering in its lineup.
