Hyundai Sonata adds some attitude to the family-sedan segment that we hope is loud enough to wake up the others. Its mid-cycle refresh comes in the form of updated front and rear bumpers, new headlights and taillights, as well as big changes for the inside.
While the Sonata retains its current powertrains, consisting of a 191-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder and an N Line model with a 290-hp turbo four, all-wheel drive joins the options list for cars with the non-turbo. The 192-hp Sonata Hybrid that puts up big numbers for fuel economy also sticks around.
While the Sonata’s road manners don’t impress us as much as the Honda Accord’s, its high style quotient and value-oriented packaging make it a great choice among family sedans
