When talking about affordable, commercial cars, we simply cannot leave out Hyundai.
This South Korean multinational automobile company has been offering high-
performance cars since 1967.
The company manufactures a variety of car models. From SUV models to sedans to
compact cars, they have it all under their wing. They also have a wide range of car lines,
out of which the Hyundai Sonata is the most popular one.
Hyundai Sonata is a mid-size car made by the company. It was first introduced in 1985
when they launched the first-generation Hyundai Sonata. But in this post, we will be
looking into Hyundai Sonata V NF.
Hyundai Sonata V NF: Fifth Generation
The production of Hyundai Sonata V NF started in 2005 and it lasted for four years. It
was launched in the home market in August 2004 as a 2005 car model. This model is a
part of the NF project.
Starting with the engine, it featured a 2.0L gasoline version. However, this was available
only in the Korean market. It was quite popular because of the added gas, tax, and
insurance savings.
In the European market, the car was available with a diesel engine. The same was
available in Singapore and New Zealand as well.
In 2006, the car received many safety features. However, this was meant for the
European market. Hyundai Sonata V NF also received an overall Good rating in the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
In 2008, the car received a facelift which was revealed at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show
as a 2009 model year car.
The entire styling was done at Hyundai-Kia America Technical Center, Inc, in Michigan.
The makers made a lot of changes both in the exterior and interior of the vehicle.
To date, Hyundai Sonata V NF has remained one of the most successful car models from
the company. Currently, the company has launched the eight-generation Sonata cars.
