South Korea’s largest automaker Hyundai Motor Co. on Sunday unveiled render images of facelifted Sonata mid-sized sedan slated for release early next month.
The facelift model of Sonata has undergone “a dramatic change in design” to provide a more sporty structure while stressing on its well-balanced appearance and spacious volume, the company said.

The new Sonata adopted a cascading grille, latest design feature applied in the automaker’s other newly introduced cars and added large-sized emblem in the center of the grille while the bottom of bumpers is retouched with chrome molding and headlights are upgraded for more stylish appearance.
The company will be introducing the new Sonata with two trim levels – standard and turbo, which stresses on sporty look. Although facelift models do not usually make a big change in design, the new Sonata implemented massive changes to give a completely new look by applying the latest technology and adding new features, the company said.
