MIAMI: Hyundai today introduced its all-new 2020 Sonata at the 49th Miami International Auto Show here.
Production of the eighth-generation Sonata also starts today at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama and retail sales begin later this month.
The new Sonata, priced from US$23,400 (RM97,000), is the first sedan designed with Hyundai’s Sensuous Sportiness design language.
It showcases a sporty four-door-coupe look and represents Hyundai’s new focus on creating emotional value using proportion, styling, and technology.
The latest Sonata is the first model to be based on Hyundai’s new vehicle platform, which delivers increased strength and reduced weight to enable improvements in design, safety, efficiency and driving performance. The car uses an extensive application of advanced technologies to boost comfort, convenience and active safety.
“The Sonata holds a special significance for our company as one of the longest-standing and most successful models in the global market,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, product, corporate and digital planning for Hyundai Motor America.
“The 2020 Sonata is a fully transformed vehicle packed with advanced personalisation technology, a new platform and an array of safety technologies. We are confident that our customers will be pleasantly surprised by this innovative new model.”
