Hyundai is likely preparing to give the Sonata a substantial redesign. A 2021 report alleged that company officials had deemed its design a failure. Sales have tumbled since the eight-generation model launched, but a revamped look could invigorate them. New spy photos have captured the restyled Sonata winter testing and wearing thick cladding and camouflage to hide its refreshed appearance.
All the concealments across the front and rear fascias indicate Hyundai has changed a lot. The automaker is likely giving the sedan a new face – headlights, grille, and bumper. The car’s chrome strips that connected the daytime running lights with the greenhouse trim might not survive the redesign.
