Although the overall outline of the design still characterize the coupe which is becoming more bongsor tagline of this Sonata. 4 doors coupe, although the cabin still feels relieved, not like the coupe 'real' course.
Relief of this space can be achieved by the design of the dashboard is simple but functional, as well as providing space roomy enough for both front passengers, which led to relief on the rear passenger leg room.
