Sedans are among the most popular vehicles on the market and are typically what people imagine when they think of a car. The Hyundai Sonata is a classic example of everything a sedan can offer, and the newest version has more to offer than ever before. Here's everything you need to know about the redesigned 2020 Hyundai Sonata. Exterior Styling The most obvious sign of this stunning redesign is the new face of the Sonata. Hyundai is introducing a new era for its Sonata line that's defined by sleek lines, an inventive lightning mark, and edge-to-edge style. The C-shaped LED taillights are particularly appealing as they offer a brand-new aesthetic in addition to added visibility. Proportionally speaking, the new Sonata is designed more along the lines of a sports car while still functioning as a midsize sedan. The car is longer, wider, and lower to the ground, making it more aerodynamic. Its silhouette mirrors a sports coupe more than anything else, but you'll still find four doors with plenty of room for passengers inside. Advanced Technology Inside the new Sonata, you'll find more technology than ever before. From the moment you sit down, you'll notice the massive 10.25-inch touch-screen infotainment system. This high-resolution touch screen can display all your infotainment options clearly and brilliantly, as it's the largest in its class by far. It was only a matter of time before these screens started getting bigger, and the new Sonata is setting the standard. more There's an additional screen available in the Sonata as well. You can opt for an entirely digital instrument cluster that's displayed through a 12.3-inch screen. All the driving info you need is completely customizable, and it can display important information such as turn-by-turn directions as well as a live camera feed from the blind-spot view monitor. Hyundai SmartSense One of the most impressive features of the new Sonata is the Hyundai SmartSense suite of driver assistance systems. Among the various features, you'll find forward-collision avoidance, which can automatically engage your brakes should an imminent collision be detected ahead. It even has the power to detect pedestrians rather than solely other vehicles. Another useful system is the highway drive assist. Think of this system as having a co-pilot on board who can keep you centered in your lane and at a safe distance from the car ahead while maintaining appropriate speeds. This can work together with the lane-keeping assist feature that will offer steering assistance should you accidentally edge out of your lane without signaling first. Additionally, by using its lane-marker detection abilities, the Sonata can even go so far as to park itself with remote smart-parking assist. Identify a parking spot, get out, engage the system, and the Sonata will take care of the rest on its own. To learn more about the new 2020 Hyundai Sonata, it's best to get behind the wheel yourself.
