The N-Line of Hyundai’s midsize sedan delivers performance and comfort in an attractive package.
midsize sedan has been treated to an extensive midcycle refresh that addressed its exterior and interior styling while adding all-wheel drive to some trims. Thewas also updated up as a result, delivering slightly more aggression while also retaining a comfortable experience for the daily commute.We recently spent a couple of fun weeks behind the wheel of the updated Sonata N-Line, putting in plenty of freeway miles, attacking twisty road loops, and plying city streets along the way as we did.
The entire center console area of the Sonata has also been rethought. One of the biggest changes was moving the shifter to the steering column to open more space for larger cupholders and cubbies for your belongings. All four USB ports are now Type C, and a wireless charger has been added. There are hard buttons for quicker access to the infotainment system, and the A/C controls have their own digital touchscreen with haptic feedback.
As far as space goes inside, there's plenty of it, whether you’re sitting in the front or rear seats, and the cargo area has ample room for two large suitcases. While the outgoing model’s cabin was far from shabby, the upgraded Sonata’s interior is a true leap forward—especially for front passengers.
A look at the numbers confirms the Sonata N-Line is proper fast for a mainstream midsize sedan. Zero to 60 mph arrived in 5.6 seconds, the quarter mile in 14.1 seconds at 103.7 mph. Those numbers align closely with—in fact, the Sonata is a tad faster through the quarter mile. Compared to its cousin, the Kia K5 GT with the exact same powertrain, the Hyundai is 0.2 second slower on the 0–60-mph test, and 0.1 second behind on the quarter mile.
