I just got back from the special preview of the sixth generation Hyundai Sonata, where the media and soon to be owners of the YF got to have a closer look at the latest D-segment car to hit our market. At the event, Hyundai-Sime Darby revealed the only figure yet to be announced about the new Sonata – the price.
Much speculation has been made about the price, with some claiming that the range will start at RM148K. No such thing of course, and the 2.0 Standard is priced closer to RM130K than RM150K. Here you go:
2.0 Standard – RM135,888
2.0 High Spec – RM143,888
2.4 High Spec – RM163,888
The Sonata uses the new Theta II family of engines paired with a self-developed 6-speed auto ‘box. The 2.0 pushes out 164 bhp and 197 Nm of torque while the 2.4 has 175 bhp/227 Nm – figures that match (or better) those of its rivals. Combined fuel economy is rated at 13.2 km/l for the 2.0 and 12.5 km/l for the 2.4.
Spec wise, the High Spec cars get the panoramic roof, ESP with Hill Assist, leather seats and keyless entry with push start. The difference between the 2.4 HS and the 2.0 HS is that the bigger engined car gets a front passenger powered seat (as opposed to driver only), HID headlamps and climate control. Standard equipment across the range include ABS, dual airbags, 17-inch alloys, cruise control, factory stereo with iPod/AUX in and rear air-con vents. Five colours are available, which are white, silver, black, red and blue.
The car will have its official launch on the 2nd of July. But from tomorrow till next Tuesday (25-29 June) everyone is invited to Hyundai’s showroom at Glenmarie to view the car from 2pm to 7pm.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments generally agree that the Hyundai Sonata is a stylish and well-priced family sedan, with highlights on its exterior design, interior quality, and features such as the panoramic roof and six-speed transmission. Many compare it favorably to competitors like the Camry and Accord, praising its modern look and performance. However, some concerns are raised about the high pricing, the lack of advanced features like GPS and LED display, and the limited safety features such as only two airbags on higher trims. Resale value, aftersales service, and local dealer reliability are also mentioned as potential drawbacks, which could impact overall sales performance. Overall, the sentiments are positive about the car’s design and specifications, but reservations exist regarding its market positioning and pricing strategy in Malaysia.
