Featured car history
Hyundai Sonata 1985
Production year: 1985
No. of produced cars: Information not available at the moment.
The first Sonata was introduced to compete with the Daewoo Royale series and was built using main components from the Stellar. It included cruise control, power seats, head lamp washers, power brakes, electric operated adjustable side mirrors and chrome bumper trims. The Sonata was available with two trim options in Korea: Luxury and Super (the latter only available with a 2.0-liter engine). In the domestic market Hyundai sold the Sonata as an executive car using catchphrases like “Luxury car for VIP”, however as the Sonata was based on the Stellar without any redesigning it was seen by the public as no different than a luxury version of the Stellar.
