LIKES Value for money Safety features Interior space Ride quality Hyundai’s all new Sonata should be causing its opposition some sleepless nights. Consigning its predecessor’s quirky aesthetics to history, the newcomer’s larger, more attractive “euro” style is just the ticket to generate some showroom traffic. Mix typical Korean value for money with an impressive list of standard safety features, and you have a package set to tug at the purse strings of medium and family car buyers.

Hyundai has given its Sonata range a major workover, with new styling, two new engines, revised transmissions, sportier handling and additional standard equipment. As a result, the new Sonata is not only a better-looking car, it’s also better to drive, roomier, more comfortable and safer.
