Exterior & Interior Styling

Save for the standard 18-inch alloy wheels and dual exhaust, there's not much inside or out that differentiates the 2.0T from the non-turbo Sonata. I found the driver's seat comfortable, and materials throughout the cabin are high-quality. Read my review of the standard four-cylinder 2011 Sonata for more impressions on the styling and interior.
