Hyundai’s all-new Sonata 1.6 Turbo make its public
debut at the 2019 Seoul Motor Show this weekend, alongside a new range of ‘N
Performance’ parts that are set to launch next year. The Sonata 1.6 Turbo is powered
by a 180 HP Smart Stream G1.6 T-GDI gasoline engine, working alongside
an eight-speed automatic transmission. In order to reflect its sporty demeanor,
Hyundai also gave the Sonata 1.6 Turbo a few styling design enhancements for
the exterior.
For example, the car features the Korean automaker’s
first ‘Parametric Jewel’ grille, which is meant to accentuate the new Sonata’s
bold stance. Then there are the air ducts positioned underneath the headlights,
the unique wing-shaped rear spoiler, an exclusive rear bumper and twin-tip
exhaust mufflers.
Hyundai’s Seoul booth will also feature a ‘NEXO
Village’ and a ‘PLAY HYUNDAI’ exhibition concept, where visitors will be able
to interact with the Hyundai brand and its products. Meanwhile, technologies
such as the Digital Key, Built-in Cam, Voice Recognition Assistance Service and
Passenger Comfort Seat will be on display as well.
