Manufactured since 1985, Sonata is defined as the global steady-seller of Hyundai's mid-size sedan to this day. The facelifted third-generation Sonata made a breakthrough of over 1 million cars in sales. The eighth-generation model, introduced in 2019, projects a Sensuous Sportiness which served as the guiding concept throughout Sonata's development, from the exterior styling to the driving dynamics.
