Say hello to a whole new Hyundai

Redesigned for 2018, the Hyundai Sonata has come a long way from its econobox roots.

Emme Hall
I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is the same as 2017, making 245 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. It's mated to an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission.

The new design features a larger "cascading grille" and standard LED running lights on the 2.0T trims.

In the rear, the available LED taillights are trimmer for 2018 and the license plate has been moved lower, bringing an uninterrupted, smooth line from the top of the trunk lid to the bumper.

There is a soft-touch button in the center Hyundai logo that opens the trunk.

The Sonata comes with a Sport mode for higher revs and snappy shifts.

Eco mode is programmed to eke out the best fuel economy, but it's still far from sluggish, returning 26 miles per gallon combined in the 2.0T.
