New York 2019: North American Premiere for 2020 Hyundai Sonata

Hyundai has introduced to North America its updated and upgraded new 2020 Hyundai Sonata. The New York Auto Show was the setting for our first look at a sedan that’s been improved no matter which aspect you look at: Tech, powertrain, comfort, styling, etc.

“Sonata is one of our signature products… part of our legacy, and it needs to be special and memorable in all attributes. Sonata signifies our vision for future Hyundai designs, great active safety systems and cutting-edge technology that is effortless.”

- Steve Flamand, Director of Product & Corporate Strategy, Hyundai Auto Canada
