Like all other Hyundai models sold in Australia, the Sonata N Line receives a specific suspension tune to ensure it is well-suited to local roads. It also features four driving modes, named Normal, Sport, Sport+, and Custom.

Safety features are found in abundance in the Sonata N Line and include Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, High Beam Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Safe Exit Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Junction Turning, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go. There’s also a Blind Spot View Monitor that displays live video of the blind spot zones on the digital instrument cluster, and a Surround View Monitor.

Other key features include a Bose premium audio system with 12 speakers and power-adjustable driver and front passenger seats with heated and ventilated functions. Included as standard on all 2021 Sonata models in Australia is a large dual-panel panoramic glass sunroof and wireless charging.

“Sonata is a pillar of the Hyundai range, and the model’s evolution over eight generations into the stylish, all-new 2021 model represents our commitment to creating the ideal medium sedan,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia chief executive officer Jun Heo said. “Striking coupe-like styling, a premium cabin, advanced safety and technology, and a powerful all-new 2.5 Turbo engine ensure the all-new Sonata N Line is our best Sonata yet.”

Local pricing for the car starts at AU$50,990 (US$40,040) and the only available option is Metallic / Mica paint for an extra AU$595 (US$467).
