Hyundai Motor Company unveiled more details about the highly anticipated 2021 Sonata N Line, an all-new model that is bound to inject excitement into the midsize sedan segment. Providing an attractive entry point into the brand’s high-performance N Brand, the Sonata N Line caters to a wide variety of customers looking to balance sportiness with luxury.
“Hyundai has built a loyal following for Sonata by offering an array of reliable, fuel-efficient, and attractively designed models, including the standard, hybrid, and ‘Sensuous’ variants. Now, Sonata N Line joins the lineup, satisfying the desire for dynamic performance,” said Bang Sun Jeong, Vice President, Head of the Middle East & Africa Operation at Hyundai.
Based on Hyundai’s ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design identity, Sonata N Line’s low and wide exterior styling is highlighted by the Parametric Jewel Pattern Grille, wide air intakes, and N Line badging. Arrow-shaped air curtains on the lower fascia support aerodynamic performance and engine cooling while giving the model a sporty image.
Interior design elements, including a leather-wrapped perforated N steering wheel with metallic spokes, red-stitched Sports Seats with leather bolsters, gearshift with metal accents and leather inserts, and alloy pedals.
N Line-specific mechanicals back up the sedan’s sporty appearance. The 2.5-liter turbocharged GDi engine, mated with the 8-speed Wet Dual-Clutch Transmission (N DCT) that was developed for N vehicles, produces 290 horsepower and 422 Nm of torque – making the Sonata N Line the most powerful Sonata ever.
A dynamic driving experience is maximized through various features, including rev-match, N Power Shift, launch control, active sound design (ASD), and shifting pattern. Sonata N Line’s smooth and fast downshifting, quick acceleration, engine roar and assertive sense of acceleration are certain to increase the driver’s pulse on the open road.
