Here's The Sporty New Hyundai Sonata N Line Way Before You're Supposed To See It-September 2024

(Early prototype. See KoreanCarBlog for new leaked photos.

We haven’t heard anything official about the upcoming since the automaker confirmed it was coming last year, but a new leak likely shows the hot new production model completely undisguised.

The pictures and some interesting reported details come courtesy of , capturing just about every inch of the new model in nice fluorescent carpark lighting, which was then conveniently uploaded to

The upcoming optional N Line trim is reportedly expected to build off of the current “Sport” trim, with “bucket” seating, red stitching on the interior, 19-inch wheels, and redesigned dual-tipped mufflers, grille, badge, and bumpers, which you can see in the photos.

Regardless, leak or not the Sonata N Line was last reported due for production fall of this year for the 2021 model year, so we’ll probably be seeing the real deal in just a couple of months. It’ll join the ranks of the also-new 2021 Hyundai Elantra N Line sedan, which . A slightly tuned Hyundai Kona N Line is also expected next year, so get your credit scores ready.

The Hyundai Elantra GT hatchback will not be getting the cool angular redesign its sedan sibling…
