Nice looking interior, reminds me of the Camry.

Toyota better make a big leap with the next-gen Camry interior or risk losing sales to the competition.

Exterior-wise, nice to see it looks less like an Accord but it also looks worse than the pre-facelift front end. The front looks awkward now.

 

now the exterior looks less than the all-new accord!
and interior reminds me Toyota too.

 

Front looks Azera-ish, which makes sense I guess.

Interior is nice, a million times better than the current version. US models finally getting Nav?

 

Finally, Hyundai is jumping on the Navigation-as-an-option bandwagon!!!

 

+1

The interior looks quite a bit nicer now but they should have left the exterior alone. I think the current one looks more distinctive/better than this redo.

 

Not even close, IMO. This new Sonata interior is head and shoulders above the current-generation (2007-2008) Camry. I am not impresses with the new camry interior at all...especially the dash plastic and control *****. Toyota will need a big leap just to catch up to the Sonata, much less surpass it.

I just wish Hyundai would do a wagon or AWD version of this car....they have not gotten around to it yet. It would be fantastic competition for the Subaru Outback and Legacy....probably at a better price and longer warranty.

 

Good point about AWD. Their Sonata-based SUV's have it, so it wouldn't be too hard to do with the sedan. Maybe they would have to price it too high to be competitive in the class.

Each month when the sales figures are relased, I'm surprised that the Sonata and Azera don't sell better vs. their competition. With their warranty, improved reliability and pleasant styling you'd think they'd sell better.

 

I think the new front end looks uglier than the current one.

 

Well, they (and Kia) undercut the competition everywhere else....why not with a vehicle in this class?

My ex-Union President bought a new one...a V6 automatic. Just loves it. He came to me several months ago (shortly before I retired), said it was time for a new car, asked for my help and recommendations, and said let's go shopping. The Sonata was one of the cars I recommended...he was amazed at the quality and price.

 

Interior looks great, much better than the current one. Exterior didn't change much.

 

Interior looks nice.

I see some Acura in front, Camry in back, Corolla roofline and not particularly nice in any sense.

 

There's a black lowd red debadged one with BBS wheels running around in Tokyo and looked really nice actually. Props to Hyundai.

 

The Sonata has always been an Accord ripoff... You also get what you
pay for and in Hyundai's case it is a product that fares well in initial quality,
but is decidedly worse long term (3 years of ownership). I would recommend
this car and the Camry V6 to my worst enemy with no problems

 

I see a little bit of RX330/RX350 in the center stack where the NAV screen is.
