Hyundai recently rolled out its updated 2024 Hyundai Sonata, and while it wasn\u2019t a complete redesign, its interior received a significant amount of love, with an upscale look that could easily be confused for a European sedan. Speaking of sedans, Hyundai is one of only a handful of companies that still invests in them, and the midsize Sonata is proof of that continued commitment, improving on the already impressive current generation, which launched in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We spent a couple of weeks driving the Sonata in part to get an up close and personal look at just how much has changed inside, and we came away impressed by the cabin\u2019s new digs, which are all-new from the B pillar forward, according to Hyundai.<\/p>\n

Dual-Screen Setup<\/h2>\n

Like several other, mostly upscale brands (notably Mercedes-Benz, who pioneered the setup), Hyundai has moved to a dual-screen approach for the Sonata. It combines a 12.3-inch driver\u2019s display with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen under a single curved panel. It makes both screens look bigger than they are, its curvature helps reduce reflections, and it just plain looks cool. The Sonata and the Kona are the first Hyundais to get this curved display, and the experience is fantastic, especially so for these more mainstream models.<\/p>\n

Both screens have great resolution, displaying pristine navigation and graphics, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now wireless. We had a couple of hiccups with CarPlay where the screen went dark for a few seconds before coming alive again. This happened twice during the two weeks we had it, and the screen picked up exactly where it left off, playing the same song and following the navigation we had going when this happened.<\/p>\n

The driver\u2019s instrument display also has modern graphics and is a big update over the 2023 Sonata. Our N-Line test vehicle featured red needles for the speedo and the tach, which are unique to the model.<\/p>\n

Good Looks<\/h2>\n

Hyundai\u2019s interior stylists spent a ton of time and detail work making Sonata N-Line a plush place, starting with the red theme seen throughout the cabin. Besides the red needles for the speedo and tach, red trim runs along the air vents across the dashboard, and the same red trim encircles the push-button start. As is common for performance-oriented models, the N-Line has red stitching throughout the cabin, embellishing the seats, door panels, steering wheel, and dashboard.<\/p>\n

Besides the red details and dual-screen setup, the Sonata\u2019s modern look continues to the heating\/cooling controls, which receive their own touchscreen with two big knobs that control the cabin\u2019s climate. There is also a volume knob, a tuning knob, and redundant physical buttons for the infotainment screen.<\/p>\n

As part of the new changes, the shifter has moved to the steering column, freeing up a lot of space in the center console. Now, the cupholders can accommodate larger water bottles, and the driver gets a more comfortable armrest. Gone is the push-button shifter the Sonata has had since 2019.<\/p>\n

Spacious and Comfortable<\/h2>\n

The 2024 Sonata didn\u2019t receive any changes to its dimensions, but it\u2019s still a decently sized sedan with room for five passengers (four adults can travel comfortably). Hip and shoulder room are decent for rear passengers, and headroom isn\u2019t an issue, even for folks taller than 6 feet.<\/p>\n

The Sonata was also quiet inside, with wind and tire noise under control at highway speeds, even in the sporty N-Line model we tested. The N-Line comes with specific seats that have more lateral support than other Sonata trims and are adorned with N badges on the backrests. They also feature red accents and stitching that match the model\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n

Almost One USB Port per Passenger<\/h2>\n

With two USBs in front and two for the second row, the Sonata will keep your device juiced up all day. There\u2019s also a wireless charger in the center console, which means everyone can charge their device at the same time. Starting with the 2024 model, the Sonata now only offers USB-C ports.<\/p>\n

Hyundai Sonata Interior: Do We Like It?<\/h2>\n

The 2024 Sonata’s interior almost makes it feel like a completely different car. We like what Hyundai did with the Sonata; not only does it look better inside and out, but it also continues to drive well, especially the N-Line models. The changes help it stand out in a not-so-crowded but nonetheless highly competitive segment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
