- 2024 Hyundai Sonata pricing and features
- Facelifted N Line arrives in Australia
- Priced from $55,500 plus on-road costs
The facelifted 2024 Hyundai Sonata sedan has arrived in Australia.
As before, it remains solely available in flagship Sonata N Line form – with turbocharged four-cylinder power – as a low-volume player in Hyundai Australia’s line-up.
It is priced from $55,500 before on-road costs – up $3435 over the pre-update model, adding the brand’s new corporate look and a host of new technology for the added cost.

Derived from the Staria and Kona, the Sonata adopts a split headlight design, with a full-width LED DRL strip running above a lower-positioned grille featuring 'hidden' main beam units.
A more pronounced dome has been added to the bonnet, while the chrome strip running from the beltline – a Sonata trait since 2009 (when it was known as the i45 in Australia) – to the headlights with integrated DRLs has been removed.
At the rear, the Sonata scores H-shaped tail-lights with a thicker full-width light strip running across the boot, featuring the brand's 'Parametric Pixel' design language, as seen in the all-electric Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6.

Inside, the dashboard is entirely new, with a similar look to the Kona and the all-new Santa Fe due in Australia in 2024.
The current 10.25-inch widescreen has increased to 12.3 inches and is now housed in a brand-first curved, BMW-like display panel incorporating a new take on the existing 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
It runs Hyundai's latest Connected Car Operating System (ccOS), supporting over-the-air software updates, Bluelink connected-car services, an updated interface, and an Nvidia-supplied graphic processing unit.

Also new is a brand-new steering wheel with a column-mounted shift-by-wire gear selector – identical to the Kona – to free up space in the centre console.
Design updates include a full-length air-conditioning vent, a new 6.6-inch 'touch-type' climate control panel, USB-C charge ports, and a simplified centre console with additional storage and a larger armrest.
Under the bonnet, the Sonata N Line continues to feature Hyundai’s 213kW/422Nm 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with the i30 N’s eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).

The DCT features a rev-matching function for downshifts and will select the suitable shifting pattern depending on the driving mode.
A launch control function helps achieve its 6.2-second 0-100km/h sprint time. The Sonata's official combined fuel consumption is 8.1L/100km, and it accepts 91 RON unleaded.
The updated 2024 Hyundai Sonata N Line is on sale now.
