2024 Hyundai Sonata: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Hyundai Sonata gets a major mid-cycle refresh led by sharper exterior styling and a redesigned cabin with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen. It also gains wireless smartphone connectivity across the lineup and offers all-wheel drive for the first time.
About the 2024 Hyundai Sonata
Current U.S. Sonata generation introduced for 2020; 2024 is its mid-cycle refresh year.
Hyundai positions the Sonata as a midsize sedan for shoppers who want a family car that feels more modern than plain transportation. The core draw is a roomy cabin, a lot of safety and tech for the money, and a choice of personalities: regular gas power, hybrid efficiency, or N Line performance. Against other midsize sedans, Sonata leans heavily on its futuristic styling, large screens, and feature-rich packaging rather than a conservative, bare-bones approach.
The 2024 range centers on the everyday-focused SEL in gas and hybrid forms, the upscale Limited Hybrid, and the 290-hp turbocharged N Line. The SEL has heated front seats and a 12.3-inch touchscreen, while the Limited Hybrid adds leather, a head-up display, premium audio, and parking assistance. The N Line emphasizes performance with a quick-shifting automatic transmission, 19-inch wheels, and sport seats.
What changed, by category
Styling
The Sonata gets a more dramatic front end with a full-width light bar, revised rear lighting, and a cleaner dashboard design built around a wider digital-display layout.
Tech
A 12.3-inch touchscreen becomes standard, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fitted across the lineup. Limited Hybrid also gains a power trunk.
Powertrain
The old 1.6-liter turbo setup and the gas Limited powertrain were dropped. All-wheel drive joins the 2.5-liter gas SEL for the first time, while the hybrids gain paddle control for regenerative braking. The Blue, SE, and SEL Plus trims also leave the lineup.
