Pushing Hard

For an as-tested price of $36,310, the N-Line provides enough thrills for both fun canyon drives and comfort for all commutes, making it an accessible and attractive option for a broad range of buyers. As a quick comparison, the top-spec 2024 Kia K5 GT rings in at $37,345, though you’re going to have to wait until the arrival of the new 2025 K5 model for the latest and greatest sedan from Kia.

We’re happy to see Hyundai continuing to offer more performance and vehicle dynamics for models like the Sonata. In an era when crossovers dominate the market, Hyundai is still betting on sedans, and the 2024 Sonata N-Line delivers a fun driving experience while maximizing comfort and convenience.
