The Sonata sedan gets a facelift in 2015, with a more fine-tuned silhouette and increased size. The car is now more solid, luxurious and comfortable and it features a fully redesigned dashboard. It has three four-cylinder engines: a naturally-aspired 185-hp 2.4L, a 245-hp 2.0L turbo and a hybrid with 199 total horsepower. In all three cases, there’s a six-speed automatic transmission.
