New Hyundai Sonata will become a universal

The eighth generation Sonata sedan will see the world next year, and the wagon is expected for 2020.

The wagon will appear in many European countries.

By the way, in 2011, Hyundai started selling i40 sedans and wagons in Europe, which replaced the Sonata sedan. Now the company wants to sell Sonata here again but like a 5-door variation.

The Korean Car Blog reports that the new generation Sonata sedan is actively undergoing tests in South Korea. It is assumed that the appearance of the model will be made by the type of concept car Hyundai Le Fil Rouge 2018.

The motor gamma of the basic version of the model didn't receive information, but based on rumors, the model will have 'hot' modifications with a turbocharged T-GDi four-liter 2.0 liter from the i30 N hatchback, as well as a brand new 2.5-liter turbo engine from the Theta III family.
