TECHNOLOGY
Smarter vehicle design calls for more innovative technology. The systems native to the Hyundai Sonata infrastructure make it a modern machine you’ll be eager to drive. You’ll have the latest systems for fun in the cabin and added protection.
Connection at Your Fingertips
Once you take your seat, you’ll have ample features to use. The centralized standard 12.3-inch touchscreen delivers a crisp, clear view of essential vehicle readouts and information. As you adjust the settings, you can also wirelessly pair your phone via Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto™ to keep messages and contacts close at hand.
Additional available features make the infotainment setup more robust. The optional Bose® Premium Audio system uses 12 speakers to play your favourite songs in supreme quality, turning the cabin into a mobile concert venue. You can also use the available wireless phone charger to easily keep your device’s battery full for whatever awaits at your destination.
Safe and Secure
Any advantage is welcomed when it comes to your safety. The engineers at Hyundai know how important this is and have developed SmartSense™, a suite of driver-assistive technologies. These systems combine to create a ring of protection around the Hyundai Sonata, giving you an edge should the unexpected happen. Standard features include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction-Turning Detection
- Lane Keeping Assist/Lane Following Assist
- Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
- Driver Attention Warning
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
Arriving at your destination just got better, even with a tricky parking spot standing in your way. The standard rearview camera projects real-time footage of what’s behind your sedan. When it’s time to exit the space, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist alerts you to oncoming vehicles from either side. When certain conditions are met, light brake pressure is automatically applied to help keep you and those around you safe.
INTERIOR
A well-designed interior needs to provide for you and your passengers. When you have long road commutes ahead, comfort becomes even more vital. Thankfully, the Hyundai Sonata has you covered with a cabin that you’ll be glad to return to, time and again.
Wiggle Room Included
A roomy seating area is the basis for passenger comfort. The Sonata offers room to stretch for all five passengers, giving everyone a spot to call their own. This ample area lets you find your comfort zone before starting the next leg of your epic adventure.

Ready to bring home that bookshelf you’ve been dreaming about? The rear seats fold in a 60/40 flat-folding configuration to extend the cargo space for larger objects.
You’re Priority Number One
Once you’ve settled into your space, the Hyundai Sonata will continue to take care of you. The dual-zone automatic climate control system allows you and your copilot to set your preferred temperatures for the ride ahead. Standard heated and ventilated front seats double down on your comfort, ensuring peace of mind no matter the outside weather.
Your comfort as the driver is the most important, so you deserve a premier seat. The available 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat makes it easy to find the right position before you shift into Drive. It includes lumbar support to help reduce fatigue and keep you focused on what’s ahead.
PERFORMANCE
Above all else, your car must be ready to take on the open road and the winding curves ahead. Hyundai engineers have mastered their craft to make the Sonata a fierce competitor on the highway. You’ll have the utmost command over your machine as you set the course for new getaways.
