Hyundai Motor Launches High-Performance Sonata N Line... 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 Seconds

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 12th that it will launch the 'Sonata N Line,' a mid-size sedan Sonata that embodies dynamic driving sensations.

With this, Hyundai has completed the Sonata lineup that encompasses fuel efficiency, design, and powerful driving performance by adding the Sonata Hybrid, Sensuous, and N Line models.

Equipped with 2.5 Turbo Engine... Sonata with the Most Powerful Power Performance

Hyundai equipped the Sonata N Line with a Smartstream gasoline 2.5 turbo engine and an 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (N DCT), achieving a maximum output of 290 horsepower (ps) and maximum torque of 43.0 kgf·m. Fuel efficiency is 11.1 km/ℓ (based on 19-inch tires). The time to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h is only 6.5 seconds. The Sonata N Line is the most powerful Sonata model ever.

The Sonata N Line features 'Rev Matching' technology, which momentarily adjusts engine RPM when downshifting during driving to ensure smooth gear shifts and quick re-acceleration. It also includes 'Launch Control,' which optimizes engine torque and wheel spin control for maximum acceleration from a standstill; 'Interior Virtual Engine Sound' to enhance driving sensations; 'N Power Shift,' which strengthens acceleration feeling during gear shifts; and 'Differentiated Shift Patterns' that provide tailored acceleration sensations according to driving modes. These high-performance driving features exclusive to N models are extensively applied.

Additionally, intelligent safety technologies such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, and Driver Attention Warning are standard to enhance safety. Furthermore, convenience features that have received positive responses in the base model, such as Hyundai Digital Key, BOSE Premium Sound (12 speakers, external amplifier), Driver Seat Memory System (IMS), and Passenger Relaxation Comfort Seat, are also applied to the Sonata N Line.

Sonata N Line, Sporty Design Combining Emotion and Dynamism

The Sonata N Line has been reborn with a dynamic appearance by adding the sporty sensibility of high-performance N to the innovative design completed based on 'Sensuous Sportiness.'

The front features an N Line exclusive Parametric Jewel Pattern grille, and the front wing, which stabilizes the vehicle stance and emphasizes sportiness, catches the eye. The N Line emblem, which gives the identity of high-performance N, highlights the dynamic character of the Sonata. On the side, N Line exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels and side sills that make the body appear lower create a stable posture. The rear combines a bumper lower part highlighted with black high-gloss point color, dual twin-tip mufflers, and an aerodynamically designed spoiler to emphasize the high-performance image.

Sonata N Line Interior

The interior design emphasizes the sporty feel unique to the N Line with dark gray and red stitch points. The N logo engraved on the seats and steering wheel, along with front-row exclusive bucket seats, create a dynamic interior space centered on the driver. The selling prices of the Sonata N Line are ▲Premium 30.53 million KRW ▲Exclusive 34.95 million KRW ▲Inspiration 36.42 million KRW (based on 3.5% individual consumption tax).

Meanwhile, to commemorate the launch of the Sonata N Line, Hyundai is holding the 'Sonata N Line X Baek Geon-woo Photo Exhibition' in collaboration with Baek Geon-woo, a photographer known for automotive photography, from today until the 30th at the Hyundai Motor Songpa-daero branch. Additionally, the first 500 customers to take delivery will receive an 'N Brand Sportswear Package,' which incorporates the DNA of high-performance N into fashion items.
