New spy photos of the 2015 Hyundai Sonata have emerged showing the upcoming sedan fully nude in its home plant in South Korea.

The Korean Car Blog reports spy photographers have said the Sonata boasted a 2-liter T-GDI four-pot pushing 274 horsepower toward the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The new Sonata will make its official launch March 24.

    I've never been a fan of the current Sonata. It resembles a four door Toyota Solara, one of the most vile designs ever. But I do recognize that the current Sonata helped Hyundai move beyond the third-world cars they used to make. This one isn't as much of a step forward. They've taken the basic A7, Fusion, Rapide silhouette and remove all the sexiness from it. Maybe it will look less dumpy in person.

    Still a good looking car, even if it's a bit more generic now. And if you're going to riff of another car's looks, you can do a lot worse than Audi.

      Hey, looking like an Audi is what moves Kias! I know there's quite a bit of inter-company rivalry going on there, but this is going to far, Hyundai!

  • Ronin It's one thing to stay tried and true to loyal past customers; you'll ensure a stream of revenue from your installed base- maybe every several years or so.It's another to attract net-new customers, who are dazzled by so many other attractive offerings that have more cargo capacity than that high-floored 4-Runner bed, and are not so scrunched in scrunchy front seats.Like with the FJ Cruiser: don't bother to update it, thereby saving money while explaining customers like it that way, all the way into oblivion. Not recognizing some customers like to actually have right rear visibility in their SUVs.

  • 3-On-The-Tree Son has a 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 and I have a 2009 C6 Corvette LS3 6spd. And on paper they are pretty close.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Same as the Land Cruiser, emissions. I have a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser and it’s a beast off-roading.
