More aggressive exterior design;
new curved dash display inside


(September 1, 2023) FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. — Hyundai has launched the enhanced 2024 Sonata midsize sedan that will be available at dealers this winter. José Muñoz, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor North America, said that Hyundai has a strong history of regularly updating its Sonata lineup and exceeding customer expectations.

“With a total of nearly three million sedans sold in the U.S. in the past 12 months, those new buyers and owners seeking to stay in the sedan segment will find that Hyundai is there with beautifully updated Sonata models,” said Muñoz. “Sonata will now be available in all-wheel-drive, attracting even more sedan buyers to Sonata.”

Hyundai’s proven Hyundai TRACtion (HTRAC) AWD system is now available on Sonata for the first time. HTRAC is mated to the 2.5L engine to provide all-weather capabilities and enhanced driving performance by actively distributing torque between the front and rear wheels, depending on road conditions and driving situations. Sonata will once again be available as a standard internal combustion engine (ICE) model, sporty N Line variant, or hybrid electric (HEV) version, with a range of engine options.

“We wanted to give Sonata a more contemporary design statement,” said designer Simon Loasby. “It is super wide, fresh, modern, and very cool. Its low-slung design embodies our theme of Sensuous Sportiness, and its coupe-like styling makes this the most aerodynamic Sonata design ever. A true sports family sedan.”

The new Sonata’s low-slung exterior exemplifies progressive automotive design and embodies Hyundai’s theme of ‘Sensuous Sportiness.’ On the front, Sonata’s horizontal layout integrates Hyundai’s signature Seamless Horizon Lamp and wide-set hidden headlights for a futuristic look. A new grille and larger air intakes create a more dynamic and aggressive appearance.

At the rear, the new H-lights emphasize Sonata’s wide stance and high-tech character. The black spoiler-shaped trunk lid and exhaust-shaped rear end treatment promise sporty performance.

In keeping with its sporty exterior, the new Sonata interior provides a driver-centric layout with high-tech details that support modern lifestyles. Sonata’s new interior ‘floating’ theme provides a futuristic mood, which is further enhanced by ambient lighting.



The lineup includes a gasoline-powered 2.5L engine, 2.5L turbo engine, and 2.0L hybrid electric (HEV). The 2.5L turbo was developed especially for the N Line.

The HEV model is equipped with e-Motion Drive, which enables a smooth and comfortable driving experience in various driving conditions, and for the first time, it has paddle shifters and a regenerative braking mode to further increase fuel efficiency.

The new Sonata’s aero-friendly design improves fuel efficiency and stability during high-speed driving.
