Hyundai Sonata (LF). 2014–19 (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, 1591, 1999, 2359 cm³ petrol, 9·8 kWh–1999 cm³ electric–petrol hybrid (I4 DOHC). More grown-up in looks, but losing some of the creativity of the YF as a result, and supposedly more inspired by the Genesis (DH). LF has a more rigid bodyshell, with excellent refinement, ride and build quality. Well equipped, as expected from Hyundai at this level. Less engaging to drive. Eco model added, with 1·6 turbo and 178 hp, while the 2·0 turbo lost 30 hp for the US market (245 hp). Mid-term facelift in 2017.
