2015 Hyundai Sonata review

Exterior

In comparison to its predecessor, it has grown a little bit larger. The overall length has gone up by 1.3 inches while the width increases by 1.2 inches. The other dimensional changes can be ignored but they do help to increase the wheel base by 0.4 inches. With its more mature look, the new Sonata model features crisper lines and a more upright appearance on the grille area. This grill area contains a wide air intake which defines the front facia of the new Sonata. Roofline still has the coupe-like line but despite that in has plenty leg- and head-room. With this line it has really low drag coefficient of 0,27 which is lead in midsize sedan class. It comes with standard LED daytime running lights, a rear lip spoiler, 16” alloy wheels, and dual exhaust that gives it a premium look. Complete with the running LED lights, the high intensity discharge lamps are standard while the LED taillights and head are optional.

Interior

Iinterior of the Sonata continues with the mature theme with much more space on the inside. Throughout the cabin is an orange single needle stitching that provides just the right contrast with charcoal leather seats. In addition to this, the interior is also a quieter place as it has extra soundproofing in the dash board to keep the engine noise at bay the rear seat can accommodate up to six footers with no problem whatsoever though some passengers may find that their heads are closer to the ceiling than theirs.
