Hyundai Sonata next generation Spied with solar panels

Development of the next generation Hyundai Sonata continues as we saw these spy shots of a hybrid or plug-in hybrid model caught in South Korea.

Can Hyundai offer this type of roof for Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Sonata models?

Toyota claims the solar roof can add up to 3.7 miles (nearly 6 km) of electric driving range per day in a parking lot and can continue to supply electricity to the battery when the car is in motion.

With a new wheelbase and sharper lines, the design of the new Sonata DN8 project has not been confirmed, but looking at the photos we can find a sleeker sedan, likely influenced by the design ideas of the Le Fil Rouge concept car recently launched in

What can we expect in terms of engines and environmental friendliness?

The transmission will change, as well as the design.

As you knew, Hyundai is focusing on eco-cars, and while the latest generations of Sonata models received a Hybrid variant, a few months later - the launch of NA models, this will not happen with the new generation, and Hyundai plans to prepare

Hyundai will follow what Toyota has done and extend the life of the i40 until the new Sonata arrives.
