When Hyundai redesigned the Sonata for the 2015 model year it decided to rein the styling. Turns out that was a bad move as the very element that catapulted the car to huge sales success was no longer present. Learning from that mistake, the all-new 2020 Sonata is letting it all hang out. Though Hyundai’s efforts have recently been focused on fleshing out their SUV lineup, in their eyes, the family sedan still has life and the way to keep it breathing is through seductive design and cutting edge technologies. While the Sonata’s Audi-like profile and Lincoln-esque rear styling hit their marks, the droopy, catfish-inspired front end looks like a Chevy Malibu descendant and that’s certainly no compliment.
