Say Hello To The 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line

If you're the sort who looks at the sporty Hyundai Veloster N and thinks "I love the performance, but I wish it weren't so utterly juvenile-looking," Hyundai's new N Line sub-brand was tailor-made for you. The N Line treatment delivers a does of extra performance and sporty looks without going completely, utterly over to the "raucous street racer" end of the spectrum - similar to Cadillac's old V-Sport sub-brand, or BMW's M-Sport.

Now, Hyundai's just shown off its second entrant in the N Line model range: the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line. Any visual cues that might tip you off to the fact you're looking at something other than a regular old Sonata are subtle, almost imperceptible - as they're meant to be.

Perhaps the biggest difference between the regular Hyundai Sonata and the new 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line is the latter car's tweaked front fascia, which features a "signature cascading grille" with a different mesh pattern than the other Sonata models, flanked by two larger, more traditionally shaped side inlets. Around back, you can tell it's an N Line from the black lower bumper, sporty rear diffuser, and split four-tip exhaust; other Sonata models feature just two tips, both clustered together on one side.

Rounding out the exterior visual enhancements, the new N Line rocks a unique pair of side skirts and rides on an intricate-looking set of multi-spoke 19-inch wheels. Changes inside the cabin are minimal, with dark chrome trim and N Line red contrast stitching on the steering wheel and N-logo sport seats.
