After launching the facelifted Sonata earlier this summer, Hyundai has reshuffled its lineup a bit.
For instance, the 245 hp (248 PS / 183 kW) four-cylinder unit, which came with an eight-speed automatic transmission, has been dropped from the Sonata Sport, according to CarsDirect, which had access to Hyundai’s latest price guides.
This trim level, which also brings a revised suspension and bigger brakes, is now available only with the 185 hp (188 PS / 138 kW) 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder.

The turbocharged four-banger can still be had in the Sonata Limited. This, however, starts at $32,450, or $4,850 more than the now discontinued Sport 2.0T.
Of course, besides the more powerful engine, the 2018 Sonata Limited adds more equipment, as this is the top-of-the-line trim level, sitting on top of the Sport, SEL, Eco and SE.
Introduced at last year’s New York Auto Show, the facelifted Hyundai Sonata features revised exterior styling and updated cabin that gets an upgraded infotainment system, modified instrument cluster and updated center stack, among others.
Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is now a standard safety tech, while other driving assistance features available include the Lane Departure Warning and improved Lane Keep Assist.
