The current generation Sonata has been a huge success for Hyundai. It showcases Hyundai's turning point in market approach. It was designed mainly for North American consumers. It is also the first model to be assembled in Hyundai's state-of-the-art Montgomery, Alabama manufacturing plant.
To keep the Sonata to date, Hyundai will soon release the refreshed version. Although, news of the update was fairly quiet, these recent spy pictures of the facelifted Sonata mule shows us Hyundai wants to play the game right.
A new front end with more chrome is visible. Rear, albeit vaguely, shows LED-strip taillights found on the Azera. A new interior is also expected to be in the works with better quality and materials. A 6-speed automatic transmission is also speculated to be standard in the V6 trims. Release dates and pricing have not been announced yet, but sources say it could be released to its home market as early as this summer.
