After undergoing a substantial design change in 2018, the Hyundai Sonata receives just minor updates for the 2019 model year. This year drivers can look forward to more standard safety technology in the form of rear cross-traffic alert and blind spot monitoring. More available amenities are offered on the gasoline-powered Sonata, while drivers opting for the hybrid model can get 16-inch and 17-inch wheels. Fog lights are another new option for the 2019 hybrid. On higher level trims, a refreshed grille design and modern cabin technology including a charger for wireless devices and automatic climate control make the Sonata feel like a high-end luxury car.
