{ "image": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/2024_Hyundai_Sonata_%28facelift%29%2C_front.jpg", "generalInfo": "The Hyundai Sonata is Hyundai's mid-size, front-wheel-drive family sedan, sold continuously in the United States since the 1989 model year and built in Montgomery, Alabama from 2005 until 2022. Named after the musical form, it began life in Korea in 1985 as a re-trimmed Hyundai Stellar and grew into the company's highest-volume car in America, squaring off against the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion and its corporate cousin the Kia Optima.\n\nThe nameplate turned a corner with the sixth-generation YF of 2011, whose \"Fluidic Sculpture\" styling and all-four-cylinder engine lineup pushed U.S. sales past 200,000 a year. The seventh-generation LF that followed for 2015 deliberately calmed that styling down and chased refinement instead, adding a 1.6-liter turbo Eco model and, from 2016, an all-new hybrid and the brand's first plug-in hybrid. The eighth-generation DN8 arrived for 2020 on a new platform with dramatic \"Sensuous Sportiness\" bodywork, a 290-hp N Line performance model from 2021, and — after a 2024 facelift with a full-width light bar — Hyundai's first all-wheel-drive sedan in North America.\n\nStandout traits across the American cars are class-leading passenger and trunk space (the EPA actually classes the Sonata as a large car), a long list of standard safety and infotainment equipment, a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and a stubborn commitment to the sedan body style long after most rivals retreated to crossovers. Output has ranged from a 178-hp 1.6-liter turbo four to the 290-hp 2.5-liter turbo of the N Line, EPA combined ratings run from about 25 mpg to 52 mpg for the hybrid, and base prices have spanned roughly $21,000 to $38,000 before destination.", "priceRange": "$27,450 - $38,250", "insuranceCost": "$2,000 / yr (avg)", "resaleValue": "68% after 5 yrs", "towingCapacity": "Not rated",
