KUALA LUMPUR 6 Oct. - The all-new 2020 Hyundai Sonata, slated to be launched before the year end, is boldly positioned as the leader of D-segment sedans in terms of design and technological advancements. 

“Make no mistake. Hyundai’s roll-out of all its latest models is poised to disrupt the market. 

“The all-new Sonata is no exception. It has surged ahead of competing models in terms of sales in several markets and the awards are accumulating,” said Managing Director of Hyundai Sime Darby Motors (HSDM), Low Yuan Lung in a statement. 

The Sonata features a Sensuous Sportiness exterior design, with its coupe roof line and elegant, sporty body lines, makes this the stand-out car in the segment. 

With its courageous new design, Hyundai’s new Sonata is a statement of intent. 

Yuan Lung said, with every new model, some of the best car designers and creative directors in the world such as Luc Donckerwolke and SangYup Lee have been hired by Hyundai to create cars that move you in more ways than one. 

“The car’s blind-spot-view monitoring assists Sonata drivers with a “live” video feed of the blind spot which is projected onto a video screen on the digital gauge cluster. This is not available in other D-segment sedans,” explained Yuan Lung. 

The new innovations and cutting-edge technology found in the Sonata include smartstream G2.5 MPi engine with improved fuel efficiency, 6-speed automatic transmission with shift-by-wire feature, Hidden Lighting Lamps architecture and wireless phone charging with cooling function.

To date, the Sonata has bagged several coveted awards in the US which include “Best Car for Teens” by US News and World Report, “2020 Best Auto Tech Award” by Kelly Blue Book, 2020 NHTSA 5-star Overall Rating, MotorWeek’s “2020 Drivers’ Choice Award” for Best Family Sedan and Wards “10 Best User Experience Award”. 

The Sonata is now open for booking with a fee of RM888 at all Hyundai showrooms nationwide.
