What we know so considerably?

The 8th era Sonata (DN8) is struggling of sluggish revenue. So significantly that Hyundai already closed the Asan Plant line where by it’s construct two periods this yr. When the Grandeur is marketing like incredibly hot cakes (also constructed in Asan) the Sonata by now losed its throne for the initial time given that its start.

The Grandeur is getting its best instant, surpassing 10,000 models in a every month basis, as properly as named as ‘Best Marketing Car’, Hyundai’s luxuriest sedan has accounted a whole of 136,384 models from 386,095 models from January to June 2021.

Hyundai released an up-to-date 2021 Model Yr in April, characterized by an expanded application of the style and design of the existing Sonata Sensuous 1.6 Turbo (Sonata Sport) to the regular gasoline 2. product (they killed the fishy deal with). Depite this alterations, the Sonata has not managed to prevail over.

Inside of Hyundai, the DN8 (inside codename) was admitted as a failed model, so then the firm made the decision to skip a mid-cycle facelift in favor of a whole improve design that will get there in 2023. In contrast to very first informations that stated Hyundai will kill the Sonata and put IONIQ 6 instead both of those types will coexist.

So that is why Hyundai made a decision to use the same plan that labored for the Grandeur, alternatively of a facelift, launch a full transform design but based mostly in the exact platform and a entirely new design. This car or truck has now a codename “DN9”. And as you can see in the image at the major, that DN9a usually means the North American edition.
