2007 Hyundai Sonata in Hastings, MN - $0

The redesigned 2018 Hyundai Sonata sedan enters the market with a new look from the front, side and rear thanks to a “cascading grill,” a more assertive profile and an entirely new rear; showcasing a clean and handsome approach with reimagined, slim taillights. Supplementing the bodywork, the 2018 Sonata... More now lights the way with LED daytime running lights. When night falls, available LED headlamps with dynamic bending light illuminate the path and add to Sonata’s already radiant posture. The same standout style continues in the rear with sharp taillight design and enlarged Hyundai badge, which now cleverly houses the trunk release button. Chrome accents surround the daylight opening (DLO) and fresh wheel designs cap off its new look.

Available in SE, SEL, Sport and Limited trim levels, power is generated by a 2.4L four-cylinder engine. Torque is communicated to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode.

The new Sonata has a refined chassis with improved ride and handling. Engineers increased the torsion bar stiffness within the steering system by 12 percent, which improved steering response and feel in all conditions. Further improvement was gained with new steering calibration, focusing on responsiveness and on-center steering feel. In addition to these steering changes, the Sonata received an updated rear suspension. The trailing arms are 21 percent thicker, making them stiffer and better able to manage heavy suspension loads. New bushings work with the new suspension arms to allow for more ride compliance and yet quicken response time to control all other wheel motions. The result is a communicative, nimble and comfortable sedan.

Inside the passenger cabin, a renewed center stack and instrument panel echo the exterior’s catching new looks. The trend carries down to gauge dial design and a strong three-spoke steering wheel. Piano key buttons for audio and HVAC controls give a premium look and touch.

A standard seven-inch color display audio touchscreen features both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® integration. Driver and passenger alike can keep smartphones charged without a plug using the available Qi standard wireless charging pad. Sonata now adds a second row USB charge port, a nod to today’s connected rear-seat passengers. Available navigation systems now come with a bird’s eye view feature as well as traffic flow and incident data, without ever having to pay a subscription for the service.
