Hyundai Sonata

There are many people out there who enjoy a car with power and performance, but also need four doors and enough civility to haul around the family and their groceries. Fortunately, Hyundai has announced the most potent Sonata ever built, the Sonata N Line.

With the recent redesign of the Hyundai Sonata, the automaker fired a shot across the bow of its competition with striking, upscale new styling, which arguably make it the best looking of today’s mid-size sedan segment.

It is not my job or responsibility to shill for one car brand over another. I see a wide variety of vehicles, and have driven almost every major brand on the road today. So, I consider myself “informed.”

“Mid-size sedans are dying,” many people say. Sales numbers seem to back up that trend. Crossovers and sport utility vehicles are growing in sales and popularity while huge incentives are needed to push mid-size sedans. You’d think that companies would give up on mid-size sedans and just phone them in.

Hyundai has unveiled the latest model of its Sonata mid-size sedan, and I have to say the car looks pretty darn good. It has a new hexagonal cascading grille that reminds me a lot of the Ford Focus in styling.

Hyundai has unveiled a new Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) variant of the 2016 Sonata. The big thing that sets the PHEV model apart from the normal Sonata Hybrid is that this version can drive for up to 27 miles on electricity alone.
