Currently in its seventh generation, the 2019 Hyundai Sonata is freshly redesigned for the 2018 model year. Even without the changes, the 2019 model remains exciting and fresh. The design features a sporty sloping roofline, enlarged grille, and aggressive haunches that help create a more luxurious look. It's a modern and stylish exterior that's met with a comfortable interior and intelligent cockpit design.
2. So many possibilities

There are a plethora of trims, features, and technological benefits available, starting with the base SE and continuing to the technology-laden Sonata plug-in hybrid. The Sonata comes in five trim configurations (SE, Eco, SEL, Limited, and Sport) and two hybrid models are also available, including a plug-in hybrid.
3. Available Bluelink® communications

Ancillary features include enhanced roadside assistance and a panic button feature that is designed to alert friends and family via text message.

There's also a long list of driver aid components, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring.
5. Stylish on the outside, roomy on the inside
It might not look roomy, thanks to that stylish sloping roofline, but the 2019 Hyundai Sonata offers ample space for you as the driver, your passengers, and cargo.
