is easy, because its design is still solved in a corporate style of the
company. But it is Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 – the second generation.
After this restyling of the bodywork the
car has changed even in small details. The side windows behind the rear doors
changed their shape. Side edge has now climbed above the door handles and not
falling down to the wheel arches, now they retain a horizontal position.

completely different style. Bumpers with chrome elements and daytime running
LED light looks more powerful and respectable.

41%.
The cabin is spacious.
Interior design has become less
emotional, but more strict and restrained.
There a large amount of sound-absorbing
material in the new Sonata was used to ensure silence in motion.

increased: it has 35 mm longer, 30 mm wider, 5 mm higher and the wheelbase grew
up for 10 mm.

version is equipped with a manual transmission, the rest have 6-speed automatic
transmission. This box with its smooth shifting is very suitable for spirit of

little tougher.
