'20 Hyundai Sonata -- Wow-ee! Looks!

Looks like a big Orange Catfish

Hard to explain why I think the styling is right. Car and Driver already said the silver strip along the hood sides is "polarizing".
Looking like the only 2 engine choices are a 1.6T & 2.0T, no non-turbo offered. 2019 had a 2.4L sans-turbo DI.

I love it too but i may be considered biased. They're also MPI and GDI.

Hyundai is retarded. The lower two trims have 191 horsepower while the top two trims have 180 horsepower via a 1.6L GDI-T and less EPA highway gas mileage to boot.

LOL I have to agree!

Sharp looking car IMO. Interior looks nice too, in the photos I've seen. I'd put it on the go-look-at list if I was in the market.

Nice to see some new/updated cars coming out, it's not all doom and gloom for the traditional three box design!

The front looks like the latest Fusion.

Interior looks interesting:

... and the 2.0T is nice:

Body looks like a Mercedes Benz.

No, I'm not kidding.

OK, now I see there is a new non-turbo 2.5L with both DI & port injection, nice. That would be my pick. Not sure I'd need a turbo really.

I know, like Hyundai's Genesis division, they have been chasing some good styling for a while now.

Hyundai dropped the 2.0 turbo engine for 2020.

The base engine is a 2.5 liter directed and port injected mill.

While the grill is a bit too Fusion-like for me, Hyundai is definitely stepping up its game.

They ruined it with that hideous wing that wraps around the sides and questionable front lower valence. It would have been a poor man's Benz, especially with that interior.

I'd only opt for the turbo engine if I lived at a higher elevation like Colorado.

They will introduce the 2.5T later in 2020.

 

[paoester]

Liking it in Gold. It does seem to be a blend of a Camry & Fusion styling.

 

[RazorsEdge]

Not impressed

 

[Nick1994]

Not sure how to feel about the exterior.

But that interior looks incredible.

Hmmm, maybe in a couple years I'll find another ex-rental Sonata and get another screaming deal
