Previously leaked on the internet, the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N-Line has officially made its official debut. Based on the 2019 Hyundai Sonata, the Sonata N-Line will play the role as the entry point to the N-Brand for Hyundai’s mid-size sedan line-up. Featuring a different grille, larger 19-inch wheels along with dual-twin exhausts and a rear diffuser, the Sonata N-Line cuts a sporty figure. The chrome strip running across the Sonata’s shoulders to the headlights also further emphasised the sedan’s

A recent post by Hyundai-Sime Darby Motor (HSDM) previewing the upcoming Hyundai Kona has an interesting teaser, in the form of the all-new Hyundai Sonata. Yes, HSDM has teased the all-new Hyundai Sonata, hinting that they want a share of the D-segment market. While we did spot the all-new Hyundai Sonata some time last year, that car belongs to Hyundai Motor Company (HMC), which has nothing to do with HSDM.

It’s not exactly the winter sonata that Hyundai wanted but production at one of Hyundai Motor’s plant in Korea will be temporary suspended for 2 weeks. According to Korea's Yonhap News Agency, production in the Asan plant will be put on pause due to poor sales of the Hyundai Sonata. Hyundai Motor Company has released a statement on 22-Dec that work in the Asan plant will be on hold from 23-Dec 2020 to 6-Jan 2021.

The Hyundai Sonata has been on the market for 35 years and what started as a dream to help Hyundai step into the higher-end sedan market has turned into reality. The current 8th generation Sonata is the best-looking D-segment sedan you can get on the market but it took Hyundai many hits and misses before it got to became a popular choice among buyers. Believe it or not, the first-generation Y1 Sonata was not well received at all. Back in 1985, the Sonata was viewed as just a better equipped and

The Hyundai Sonata’s history in Malaysia dates all the way back to the second-generation (Y2) model, but it was the sixth-generation YF model when the model really took off in Malaysia. The YF-generation Hyundai Sonata’s Fluidic Sculpture design language won fans over, as it was considerably more stylish than the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord from that era. If that wasn’t enough, the YF Sonata was also priced cheaper than its rivals at that time. Now in its eighth generation, armed with a comple
