About this generation

The third-generation Hyundai Sonata (Y3) was produced from 1993 to 1998 featuring independent multi-link rear suspension and smooth aerodynamic lines.

The third-generation Hyundai Sonata (Y3 chassis) debuted in May 1993, showcasing a sleek aerodynamic body and an advanced multi-link rear suspension setup. The Y3 achieved record sales in South Korea and gained strong traction in export markets.

Powertrain choices featured 1.8-liter, 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC engines, and a 3.0-liter V6 producing 146 hp. A major mid-cycle refresh in 1996 (marketed as Sonata III) brought distinctive oval headlight clusters, a restyled front bumper, and updated tail lamp graphics.
