Hyundai has released specs for the N-Line version of the 2020 Sonata sedan.

It has a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four with 290 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.

The N-Line also has numerous chassis modifications and will go on sale in the fall of 2020 as a 2021 model.

Hyundai confirmed earlier this year that there would be an N-Line performance version of the new Sonata, and now we know some of its specs. We also got to drive a Sonata N-Line prototype, pictured here, and will have full driving impressions next week.



The Sonata N-Line officially has a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four making at least 290 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The engine calibration hasn't been finalized and the final tune may unleash a few extra horses. This engine pairs with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that is closely related to the dual-clutch in the Veloster N. The suspension sits 0.2 inch lower than the standard Sonata and has different springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars. Continental Premium Contact 6 summer tires are available in size 245/40R19 and dress wheels that will only be found on the N-Line version. To slow the Sonata, there are larger brake rotors all around with single-piston sliding calipers.

Car and Driver

Dark chrome trim, N-Line badges, a quad exhaust, a new front fascia, and a more aggressive body kit round out the exterior package, and Hyundai promises that the production version will have an electronically controlled exhaust setup that will presumably be controlled by the drive modes that include Normal, Custom, Sport, and Sport Plus. The interior has sport seats with larger bolsters.



The Sonata N-Line isn't a full N car like the Veloster N. The difference is that an N car like the Veloster N is designed for track duty. That means the ability to go several laps without any thermal issues and having to change tires or brake pads. N-Line cars like the Sonata aren't as track focused, but will be setup to bring power and performance to the street. Look for it to go on sale in the fall of 2020 as a 2021 model.
