- The All-New Sonata The Edge: Hyundai's Fusion of Style and Performance in a Sedan 목차
On March 27th, Hyundai Motor Company revealed the design of the Sonata The Edge, an upgraded version of the 8th generation Sonata mid-size sedan, featuring a sleek and sporty appearance.
Sonata The Edge aims to emphasize the model's linear design and cater to customers who seek a unique lifestyle. The vehicle marks a significant update four years after the initial launch of the 8th generation Sonata in March 2019.
Hyundai's design identity, 'Sensuous Sportiness', is evident in the Sonata The Edge's wider and sleeker profile, accentuating the dynamics of a sports sedan. The front end showcases a dynamic and broad image, integrating the headlamp, radiator grille, and air intake into a single design. A futuristic touch is added with the 'seamless horizon lamp', a Daytime Running Light (DRL) that spans horizontally across the body.
The side profile features a low front end and long hood that lead to a sleek, fastback-like roofline, creating a dynamic stance as if the vehicle is poised to leap forward. The rear section displays a high-performance sports car aesthetic with a sleek rear spoiler garnish, while the 'H Light' adds a futuristic and stable appearance in conjunction with the front's horizontal lamp.
Focusing on the driver's experience, the Sonata The Edge's interior design offers a smart and spacious cabin. Hyundai has introduced a 'panoramic curved display' that seamlessly connects a 12.3-inch digital cluster and infotainment system, enhancing driver visibility and luxury simultaneously.
A modern and simple wood-pattern garnish on the dashboard emphasizes the interior's horizontal lines, creating a sense of expanded space and providing ample storage.
The N-line model, also unveiled, accentuates a dynamic driving sensibility with sporty details, such as an enlarged front bumper grille, 19-inch exclusive wheels, a rear spoiler, and a dual twin-tip muffler.
A Hyundai Motor Company spokesperson stated, "The completely new and sportier Sonata The Edge will establish a strong presence in the market as a contemporary sedan. Please look forward to it."
Hyundai plans to showcase the Sonata The Edge at the '2023 Seoul Mobility Show' held at KINTEX, Ilsan on March 30th.
