Hyundai’s 2025 Sonata N Line FWD is a family sedan with genuine sporting credentials, standing out for its bold design, exhilarating performance, and day-to-day comfort. Its 290-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine pairs with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission to deliver a burst of acceleration. Push the throttle and there’s immediate torque, with 311 lb-ft available delivering effortless passing power and confident merging at highway speeds.

The N Line’s exterior blends a futuristic wide stance with aggressive bumpers, distinctive 19-inch alloys, and subtle black trim cues. The aerodynamic silhouette and sleek lines give off a genuinely athletic vibe. Step inside, and the sport-focused theme continues: the front sport seats—standard leatherette and suede—strike a balance between bolstered support and everyday comfort. There’s plenty of space in both rows, as well as easy-to-reach controls and a striking, user-friendly dashboard anchored by a 12.3-inch digital infotainment screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto run wirelessly on a premium Bose sound system, making sure that every drive comes with the perfect soundtrack.

Hyundai’s engineers found a sweet spot between sporty handling and real-world usability: the N Line corners eagerly, and holds steady on the highway. Safety is comprehensive, too—the SmartSense suite gathers blind spot warnings, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking as standard, with post-collision and pre-collision systems built in for added peace of mind.

Practicality stays front and center: rear seats offer enough head- and legroom for adults, the trunk boasts a generous 16 cubic feet (plenty for luggage or golf clubs), and the N Line gets dual-zone climate control plus a power glass moonroof. Fuel economy is solid coming in at an EPA-estimated 23 mpg city and 32 mpg highway.

A super zippy, family-fun ride, the 2025 Hyundai Sonata N Line delivers.
