Hyundai Sonata Facelift Teased — Now More Aggressive Than Ever

The upcoming Sonata facelift has been teased by Hyundai and looks sharper than ever and is expected to arrive this summer


A set of sketches spotted on one of Hyundai's various Facebook pages has shown off the design changes set to come with the facelifted Sonata.

The illustrations preview a super aggressive design for the new Sonata with angles and creases and lines everywhere; however, expect most of those to disappear by the time the actual car comes out later this year.

The facelifted Sonata is set to retain the turbocharged 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre petrol engines that currently power the car and the facelifted car could even keep hold of the quad exhaust design for the sportier variant.

We are still not sure when the new Sonata will debut but with the car's popularity in the United States, an unveil could be expected at the New York Auto Show in April.



The Hyundai Sonata facelift may not be due till summer, but Hyundai have already taken the wraps off the new Verna which will make its way to India soon.
