Hyundai Sonata
Seoul-made family car
The Hyundai Sonata is a midsize sedan manufactured by the South Korean automaker Hyundai, produced since 1985.
It competes in the mainstream family car segment with vehicles like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord: We test-drove a Sonata and a Camry back to back.
The model helped establish Hyundai's reputation for affordable reliability in the American market.
