Okay... the HEAVILY FACELIFTED HYUNDAI SONATA IS REALLY GOOD...
The 2024 Hyundai Sonata N-Line has been given all-new styling both inside and out, after falling from 1st place sales down to 9th place in it's home country South Korea. But considering it has STIFF competition from the Toyota Camry and Mazda 6, should you be buying this ALMOST LUXURY $55,000 mega saloon? In today's review, we're going to answer that!!

This Sonata N-Line's front design is what BMW wanted to do with the 7 series but failed miserably. Whereas Hyundai perfectly executed this design. This car looks quite brilliant & aggressively amazing. Very much love this front design.

Its a total rip off. Its advertised as a semi-performance, however it has nothing of it. Evenhy7ndai N divisionn CEO told n a conference the sonata n line was not a performance vehicle. Its just a regular sonata with 300 hp. Ot also has very poor owners reviews.

Just bought mine two days ago and love it. These guys nailed it. It drives like an European sport sedan but without the hefty price tag. Fast and responsive but also very comfortable. The electronics are incredible. The 2024 is a new design that rivals any European models.

Ordered mine last Nov 2023. Expecting it to arrive late March 2024. Chose the Serenity White even though I prefer the matte grey, but the maintenance and cost of fixing/paint-matching rock chips on matte colours put me off. Will dark tint all 4 windows and rear screen, grab a set of black rims, remove rear "Sonata" badging and perhaps drop it 20mm with Eibach lowering springs. Won't touch engine or exhaust due to warranty.

Love the look of these .. saw one yesterday in my area and I couldn't stop looking at it.. If I were in the market for a larger vehicle, top of the list! I'll stick with my N-Line Premium i30 for the moment though.
You guys didn't mention the led lightshow on the front of the car. Change that color to red and you get the Nightrider car from the past ❤
Donno what happened but there's a biiiig BUMP up in this video. The energy, the vibe, the daddy mentions. Very good, keep doing the thing boyssss
I bloody love your video and edits, always crack me up with your sounds and mannerisms. Thanks boys keep up the good work. Placed a deposit on the 2024 i30 n sedan, cannot wait to see your review. The speed limit warnings on the Kona were a dealbreaker, now instead of a awd suv I’m going for complete opposite haha.
Facelift that may as well be a complete new model if it was other manufacturers. Great looking car, shame we've become obsessed with SUV and Dual Cab. It probably won't last much longer.
As a car enthusiast about to graduate university, this car is high on my list to get once I get a nice job. I’ll have my project car on the side to mess around with, and this could be the reliable daily
It’s like they tried to box the design out without changing the actual curvy shape or the car. Pretty well done.
This one definitely looks waaaaay better. I didn’t want to even think about the older models because of the look
It's a bloody great drive & for $55k is worth every penny

Would have loved to have seen more of the upgrades in the sedan N facelift. Its crazy the difference especially on the interiors versus the N range now
Omg thank you Hyundai for not doung the weird 2-ish spoke steering wheel. Also THANK YOU for not making the exhaust tip with 200 different lines. I love it
This car might not have an lsd but it has a great torque vectoring by brake that comes with the n-line package. This system was made for the veloster and got upgraded overtime and now its found and most turbo charged hyundai products. But not all of them are the same. Sport models have much more agressive torque vectoring then the rest of the line up. Its so good on the street that you would not see the difference in most cases with a proper lsd except is some situation where you have understeer. What is strange is that, only the sport modes are design to use it and so you have this strange thing where you get less traction in modes like smart or eco.
A bit of happy hooning going on there. Luv the fact that it's got the Genesis transmission in it. Luv the final thoughts. You sold me.
I just appreciate how serious these car look nowadays! I mean back in the 20th century they were just a mode of transport, now they're a way of representing the drivers personality and status.
Nice review guys.
Stunning 😍🔥
That looks sick. If an actual N comes out and looks like this, it's gonna be a REALLY attractive proposition

The facelift makes this Sonata look sooooo much better. Total win, for sure. Is it also updated on the standard Sonata as well (even if likely less-sporty extent compared to the N-Line)? 07:01 Does the puppers come standard or is there an option?

I saw on another review that you cant turn off the speed limit warning bell permanently. Every time you start the car it resets to on. Is that true?

06:15 Wired connection is far better than wireless, I wasted so much time waiting for my sister's phone to be disconnected before connecting my phone, what make it worse is that my family car, Hyundai Stargazer, only has wireless connection
My Sonata N line 2021 transmission died at 10k miles, just had it replaced and it’s not working again completely, so had to return it back again, great vehicle, but transmission it’s really really bad!
Other markets get a hybrid version. Sad thing is our market is too small to be diverse and still achieve sales numbers
The US Version has wireless carplay for Android and Apple. I test drove a 2024 Sonata N yesterday

considering the fact that the US market does infact get wireless carplay but not the rear retractable shade, back window shades, memory seats, powered liftgate, cooled seats, heated steering wheel, heads up display, rear vents. id say the Australian market won.

I’m days away from buying one of these but I’m torn between the transmission blue and the nocturnal gray colors!
how would this compare to the 130 N? my opinion is the sounds difference is better in the i30 n imo mainly cause i like the pops it gives off

I like the performance of the i30 N, but the interior and comfort doesn't come close to the Sonata. I bought the latter due to comfort and class, but it still rips
the front end looks a lot like Nemesis from the Resident Evil series lol
Why do reviewers get so hung up on wireless CarPlay? It’s far more glitchy than a wired connection, and wireless chargers don’t really work and just heat your phone so if you want to charge, you plug in anyway.
Fwd or awd?

That no android auto or Apple car play must be an Australian thing bc they have it in the US model. Hell, my 2019 veloster n has it. I love the new front end also.

Nice looking vehic ….in this grey variant that iS
Firstly, nice hair cut Matty! Not sure why you are saying this is a new Sonata when all they did was a face lift front and rear end. As for interior Is funny how it is similar to BMW with the single bar for multimedia display! i wish they would have made it rear wheel drive as it would change the way the car drive or at least chuck in an LSD. With today’s market where family are buying Utes or SUV it will be very hard to compete at that price point as there is allot of choices and it is still a Hyundai.

Indian here.... This isn't ugly. It's just that this is ' faceless ' . Which takes away half of mind connection you are supposed to feel with an ice car. Half of the connection is in the ' face ' with various emotions( aggressive, neutral, funny, sad , ugly ) and other half how the engine talks to you. This car misses out on the first half. It will take a long time for any buyers who care about the face to develop a face for this in their minds.

It feels a lot faster when you drive it. The power delivery is very linear. I was close to buying a 2023 BMW M135i Xdrive which does 0-100km in 4.8secs and yes it's quick off the line, but the Sonata feels quicker when you're 100km+ due to the larger displacement. If the Sonata had LSD and AWD, it would be much quicker with that 2.5L turbo engine.
I could never buy a car with the annoying speed limit beeping all the time. Lets hope the 2024 i30N doesn't come with this.
rofl, imagining you on tren is the best
Deal breaker for me ... annoying beeps and bongs, front wheel drive (goodbye in the wet and wheel hop in the dry) wired carplay. A shame really has plenty of power and great looks.
Car looks great, but having had a modified VW FWD without a limited slip, how can you find the axle tramp and driveline shudder entertaining? I switched to Quattro and appreciate the smooth acceleration off the line, downside is in when comes to corner carving, its not that great. That's what my MX-5 is for😊
