From the low-res spy shot of the Hyundai Sonata YF/i40-
Pull back headlamps, swooping windshield, convex bumpers, thin and wide indicator lamps etched on the bumpers, a radiator grille that is reminiscent of the Tata Prima, are more or less the chromosomes of the modern Hyundai.
Spyshots told us the design language of the new Hyundai Sonata YF/i40 is bold and original and hasn’t been inspired by BMW, like the current model.
