The 2009 Sonata is on sale now.
The Sonata has been tweaked for '09 with such features as standard auxiliary input jacks for audio devices. The exterior has new bumpers, lamps, wheels and grille. The uplevel 3.3-liter V6 gets 15 more horses for a total of 249 and 3 more pound-feet of torque.
Hyundai notes that the Sonata "remains the only midsize sedan under $20,000 with standard electronic stability control."
What this means to you: The prices creep up as Hyundai continues to gain stature and respect among U.S. consumers. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
