After numerous camouflaged pictures finally the real face of new generation Hyundai Sonata has been caught undisguised during what seems to be a company photoshoot. As you see the designers have gone berserk with 2011 Sonata and totally reworked the old body for the sake of something new and amazing. It has no connection whatsoever with the previous model!
And that’s a good thing, because the old gen used to be a conservative bx-shaped economy sedan, while the new one with its four-door coupe shape, fancy grille and Lexus style head and tail lights is clearly aiming way higher than that. But Sonata is popular because it’s affordable and delivers good value for money, now all this fancy stuff on the new one will add up to the cost obviously, so we have to wait and see how well the market will embrace it.
The best part of it I think is the new interior, which looks very nice to be honest. It is very well designed and has a sense of luxury and quality. You have to say Korean’s invest in design department was money well spent!

the rear and the interiors look good but the front is rather too fat.
