Australia's 2024 Hyundai Sonata N Line Will Deliver A Mighty 286 Horsepower
by AutoExpert | 30 October, 2023
In a remarkable turn of events, the freshly facelifted 2024 Hyundai Sonata has arrived on Australian shores, but here's the kicker: it's available exclusively in the sporty N Line trim. Hyundai pulled the curtain back on the 2024 Sonata in March, delivering an exciting update to the popular model.
The most striking revision is right at the front, where the oddball headlights and daytime running lights have been swapped out for a sleek LED light bar and sharp headlamps neatly integrated into the air intakes. But wait, there's more! The revamped Sonata N Line has a bag full of surprises.
It's rolling on brand-new 19-inch alloy wheels, rocking attention-grabbing LED taillights, and showing off its vibrant personality with a choice of six colors. These include head-turning options like Serenity White, Biophilic Ink, Abyss Black, Nocturne Grey, Ultimate Red, and Aero Silver Matte. Now, let's dive into the interior. Hyundai has truly outdone itself here.
The real showstopper is the single curved panoramic display, home to a snazzy 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a matching 12.3-inch infotainment screen. The gear shifter has even moved up to the steering column, while a fresh and chic steering wheel completes the package. Moreover, Hyundai has amplified the ambient lighting system, and the N Line variant gets a cherry on top with plush Nappa leather-appointed seats featuring striking red contrast stitching.
Under the hood, the Sonata N Line still packs a punch with its 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering a robust 286 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, sending power to the front wheels. A little quirk? It's missing a limited-slip differential.
Hyundai has also equipped the 2024 Sonata with over-the-air software updates. Also, all models making their way down under come fully loaded with Hyundai BlueLink connected car services. The Sonata N Line starts at AU$55,500 ($35,191), and you can choose to add a touch of personalization with Metallic/Mica premium paint for an extra AU$595 ($377) or go all-in with the bold Matte premium paint for AU$1,000 ($634).
