At the automobile show in New York in April 2017, the Korean automobile giant Hyundai officially introduced the updated model in the body of the Hyundai Sonata sedan in 2018.

The novelty should enter the Russian market this fall. According to preliminary data, the cost of the seventh generation of the Sonata for the Russian Federation will be about 1 million 150 thousand rubles for the basic configuration.
The updated sedan has a more modern appearance, improved interior trim, upgraded equipment and a new range of powertrains.
