Hyundai Sonata (2022)

Hyundai Motor Company, frequently shortened as Hyundai Motors and referred to simply as Hyundai, is a South Korean multinational automobile manufacturer based in Seoul. In 1967, Hyundai Motor Company was established. 

Currently, the firm owns 33.88 percent of Kia Corporation and is the sole owner of two brands: Genesis Motor, a luxury automotive subsidiary, and Ioniq, an electric vehicle sub-brand. The Hyundai Motor Group is made up of these three brands. 

In Ulsan, South Korea, Hyundai maintains the world's largest integrated vehicle manufacturing facility, with an annual production capacity of 1.6 million units. Throughout 75,000 individuals work for the company around the world. Hyundai automobiles are sold through 5,000 dealerships and showrooms in 193 countries.

Since 1985, Hyundai has been producing the Hyundai Sonata, a mid-size automobile. The first generation Sonata was a face lifted Hyundai Stellar with an engine improvement that was debuted in 1985 and pulled from the market two years later due to poor customer response. 

While the first generation of the nameplate was only offered in South Korea, the second version, released in 1988, was widely exported.

The Sonata is currently produced in the United States for the North American market, in China and South Korea for the Asian market, and in Russia for the rest of the world. It was given the name sonata after a musical word.

Sonata's high style not only stimulates strong emotions, but it also rewards them with creative design features like as the gradient hidden light technology, a surefire conversation starter that adds to Sonata's allure. LED rear combination lamps and optional full-LED front illumination add to the Sonata's high-tech look. Hyundai offers an 18-inch alloy wheel option with superior Pirelli tyres as a statement of high performance.

The Sonata isn't the most dynamic driver in its category like the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima—but it's nonetheless balanced and responsive on the road. The ride is a little more unsettled than we'd like and harsher than most cars in this class, but the Sonata's turbocharged 1.6-liter engine is at least pretty speedy. 

Sonata is equipped with that power train reached 60 mph in 7.3 seconds, which is a respectable time for this class. The eight-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and precisely. We'd also like to applaud Hyundai for keeping a traditional automatic transmission available in its family vehicle.

The Hyundai Sonata in 2022 is a family sedan that is both visually appealing and a great value. From well-equipped entry-level trims to a pair of frugal hybrids to a tire-squawking performance variant, Hyundai's mid-sizer comes in a number of styles. While the latter's 290-hp turbo-four engine and sporty suspension might make supermarket errands more interesting, the remainder of the Sonata series is less exciting to drive.
