There is a lot to like about the Hyundai Sonata. While Iowa drivers appreciate the midsize sedan’s impressive fuel efficiency and spacious seating, critics gravitate toward the upscale interior materials and easy-to-use technology. One thing that everyone can agree on is Sonata’s outstanding value. Its winning combination of features and affordability paired with a class-leading warranty should put Sonata at the top of every Sioux City car shopper’s list. But what changes can we expect for the 2021 model year? Below is a list of 2021 Hyundai Sonata changes and upgrades:
An N Line suspension tune, chassis upgrades, and available, 19-inch Continental ProContact summer tires further the Sonata N Line’s already aggressive nature. Exterior design elements include reimagined front and rear fascias, exclusive body kit, four exhaust outlets, rear spoiler, panoramic sunroof, LED taillights, and “N” badging.
Inside the cockpit, 2021 Sonata N Line models build on the SEL trim’s feature set and come equipped with bolstered sport seats, N Brand red stitching, aluminum pedals, ambient LED lighting, and leather-wrapped N sport steering wheel.
The 2021 Hyundai Sonata is available in four different trim levels, including SE, SEL, SEL Plus, and Limited. What’s more exciting, however, is Sonata’s exterior colors. Your paint choices will vary depending on the trim level, but here is a complete list of available, 2021 Sonata colors:
Needless to say, the staff here at Vern Eide Hyundai Sioux City is very impressed with the 2021 Hyundai Sonata. But what do the automotive experts have to say? Scroll down to view 2021 Sonata reviews from Car and Driver, Kelley Blue Book, and Edmunds.
“The 2021 Hyundai Sonata is a midsize sedan that competes against heavy hitters such as the Honda Accord, Kia Optima and Toyota Camry. The Sonata does all the typical sedan stuff well — the cabin is terrifically spacious, trunk space is massive, and it’s quicker than you might expect. Technology plays a significant role in this Sonata as well. Some, such as the driverless Smart Park feature, feel a little gimmicky in practice. It’s the less attention-grabbing features — the easy-to-use infotainment system, giant touchscreen display, excellent voice controls and high-res surround-view parking camera — that truly impress.” 1
“The Hyundai Sonata is in its eighth generation, and this midsize family sedan continues to have its sights set on the popular Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. This is the best Sonata yet, and it continues relatively unchanged into its second year of production. Even the base model has loads of safety equipment, and higher models boast unexpected technology and amenities.” 2
“The 2021 Hyundai Sonata is a really good way to get attention while driving a family sedan. Its dramatic styling includes exaggerated proportions, a prominent grille, and a quirky design cue featuring a spear of bright trim that flows along the front fenders and into the headlights to create what designers call a “lighting signature.” Inside, the Sonata flaunts a sophisticated, attractive space loaded with upscale features and plenty of passenger room.” 3
