Sonata Interior Features

The cabin of the 2024 Sonata looks slightly different than its predecessor’s. The steering wheel is more modern, and the gear knob has moved from the central console to the steering column. The infotainment system also boasts a new look, with two larger touch screens replacing the smaller screen in the 2023 model. Most other upgrades are on the vehicle’s exterior, including new running lights and taillights.

Dimensions and Space

The Sonata is a two-row sedan with five seats and a spacious trunk. It falls into the midsize sedan class, giving growing families in the Virginia Beach area more space to work with than what’s available in the compact Elantra. Both rows of seats offer adequate space for adult passengers, but you may want to reserve the back row for kids on longer trips when you head out to explore the rest of Virginia.

Front-row passengers enjoy an impressive 46.1 inches of legroom and 40 inches of headroom, allowing you to stretch out comfortably. Although it’s a little tighter in the second row, you still have 38.4 inches of headroom and almost 35 inches of legroom to work with. The trunk can hold 15.6 cubic feet of cargo, which is enough for a decent load of groceries or a few carry-on bags for your vacation. If you need to transport bulkier items, you can use the 60/40 rear-seat folding mechanism to retain at least one rear-row seat while expanding the cargo area.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The 2024 Sonata has two 12.3-inch digital displays next to each other. One provides information to the driver, while the other is a touch screen for controlling infotainment features. Base models have a six-speaker stereo, but you can upgrade to a premium Bose stereo with 12 speakers.

In terms of connectivity options, you can link your smartphone to the infotainment system with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Other options include Bluetooth and USB ports. Wireless device charging makes it easy to keep your phone fully charged while you’re on the go.

Comfort and Ergonomics

In the Sonata’s base trim, you can expect premium cloth upholstery on the seats in both rows. In the front row, the driver benefits from a power-adjustable seat with lumbar support, helping you find the perfect position for your comfort. You can complete your personalized driving experience by adjusting the telescopic steering wheel to ensure it’s in the ideal position. The front passenger has a manually adjustable seat for reclining or extending legroom as required.

Proximity keyless entry improves comfort and ease of access for the driver. This feature also lets you open the trunk with the touch of a button. The remote start and push-button start features make everyday driving more convenient. The first feature enables you to start your vehicle when you’re nearby, which is helpful if you want to warm it on a cold winter morning before you head to work or cool it down during the summer before you head to the beach. Push-button start is much easier than the traditional way of turning a key.

The N Line trim attracts the most attention for its more powerful turbocharged engine and sporty exterior appearance. It also brings with it some interior comfort upgrades. You get front-row sports seats, a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, and power rear windows. Synthetic leather seats have suede accents for a stylish interior.

The range-topping Limited trim comes with genuine leather seats and adds a power-adjustable front passenger seat. Rear sun blinds ensure a more comfortable and relaxed ride for second-row passengers. Front-seat passengers benefit from heated and ventilated seats, giving the cabin a truly luxurious feel.

Safety Features

Hyundai fits the Sonata with a long list of driver-assistance features to make your job easier behind the wheel. The main features are part of the SmartSense package, which Hyundai includes as standard in all Sonata models. Automatic high-beam headlights adjust themselves so you don’t distract oncoming traffic. The adaptive cruise control feature changes your speed on the highway to help you maintain a safe distance from other motorists. The driver attention monitor checks your behavior and reaction times to alert you when to take a break.

Additional features include forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, which combine to help you avoid accidents. On the highway, the lane departure warning and lane-keep assist features help you stay on the right track. You can add blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert to better watch motorists approaching you from awkward angles that are difficult for you to see. These features help keep you and your passengers safe on Virginia Beach roadways.
