CarTell take

We haven't driven the Sonata yet. On paper, dealers are discounting stock, so compare drive-away offers. Test the dual-clutch in stop-start traffic before you sign.

Why consider it

  • 213 kW and 422 Nm from the turbo 2.5 through an 8-speed dual-clutch is a lot of performance for $56,500 plus on-roads.
  • Curved twin 12.3-inch displays and a 510 L boot add everyday appeal.

What to know

  • Only one grade and no hybrid in Australia, so efficiency trails the Camry.
  • The mid-size sedan segment is shrinking, which can hurt resale.

Who it suits

Sedan loyalists who want real performance without a premium badge: the N Line's 213 kW turbo 2.5 is the strongest mid-size sedan engine under $60,000, with a 510 L boot for family duty.
