About 2020 Hyundai Sonata
Overview
For 2020, the Sonata gets a full redesign that brings an updated engine and all-new features. The Hyundai Sonata competes against vehicles such as the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Mazda6.
The basis for the new Sonata's look is Hyundai’s latest design philosophy, which it calls “sensuous sportiness.” Blacked-out pillars provide the look of a 4-door coupe. The front end is sophisticated with a new type of lighting that looks like chrome when the lights aren’t illuminated. The bold body lines draw the eye back to a sculpted tail highlighted by an LED strip across the width of the car. Alloy wheels are available in 16-, 17-, and 18-inch designs.
The new Sonata offers two powertrains. The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine is good for 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, while a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine is rated for 180 hp and 195 lb-ft. Both feature an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD). Hyundai projects 33 mpg combined from the 2.5-liter engine and 31 mpg combined from the 1.6-liter turbo engine.
The Sonata’s cabin is comfortable yet sophisticated, featuring modern technology integrated in an intuitive and useful way. Interior ambient lighting provides continuity with the exterior design. Features and options include a customizable 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a proximity key, push-button start, remote start, heated and ventilated front seats, a sunroof, a hands-free trunk, and Hyundai's Digital Key smartphone app, compatible with Android devices. It allows owners to lock, unlock, and drive the Sonata without using a key or a fob.
The infotainment system features a standard 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, and split-screen functionality. Options include a 10.25-inch touchscreen and wireless-device charging. Hyundai collaborated with Bose for an all-new 12-speaker sound system.
Hyundai brings a bunch of advanced safety tech to the Sonata, based on a network comprised of five cameras, three radar sensors, and a dozen ultrasonic sensors. Forward-collision avoidance, lane-keep assist, and smart cruise control with stop-and-go all come standard. Options include safe-exit assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and highway driving assist, which helps the car stay in the lane and maintain safe following distances. The new Sonata also features Remote Smart Parking Assist, which can drive the car into and out of tight spaces autonomously.
The Sonata has earned a reputation as one of the more dependable, practical choices in the midsize car class, but it’s clear that with this redesign, Hyundai hopes to make the Sonata an aspirational choice.

This is my second Sonata. The first one was a 2008 at about the same trim level. I had upgraded the radio to an android tablet-based version with many of the features found in the newer model cars. The newer Sonata is great, and any comments are very minor. 1. I am still getting used to the push-button transmission and performance selection between the seats. I just leave it in normal. 2. Having the brake set with the park button is nice. I still look to see if I have to release it. 3. The larger wheels with thinner tires look good but may give a slightly rougher ride. 4. I have the base radio. It sounds great, but you need to couple it with a phone to get GPS and there is no built-in CD player. Yeah, I am an old guy. 5. I have read that the acceleration is not as good as some competitors. It is great for me and feels quicker than my much-loved 2008. 6. You might want to upgrade the Factory alarm. All in all, no buyers remorse here.

For a 1.6L it has a lot of pick up. You can really feel that turbo kick in! Inside, this thing is like a luxury car... its beautiful. Minimalism on the dash is nice and clean. It also explains all the tech on the screen which is very helpful. Overall probably the best car you can get for the price if youre looking for a little luxury in your life.

our family is into Sonatas and for a good reason the ride is like a flying carpet because of the shocks plus all the safety features we would like to meet the design team in person. Sonata limited lacks nothing for the price .
