The facelifted Hyundai Sonata has made it debut in South Korea. Still in its seventh generation, the car now looks sharper like its i30 sibling. At the front, new slimmer headlights and a restyled grill give the car a more upmarket look while the rear receives some changes in the form of a new two-piece taillight and a cleaner looking boot. A set of newly-designed 17-inch rims feature too.

Moving inside, the car gets a new steering wheel and some other minor changes including the air-conditioning and infotainment switchgear. Expect the car to come with better media connectivity too.

Even though the car is launched in Korea with a 1.6-litre Gamma T-GDI petrol (178bhp) and a range-topping 2.0-litre Theta T-GDI petrol with 241bhp, it is very likely we will be getting the usual 2.0-litre natural aspirated petrol (160bhp). The engine will be paired with a six-speed automatic.
