Hyundai Poised to Release New Sonata

Hyundai Motor is poised to roll out a new Sonata with changes to interior and exterior design and extra features, a press release said on Thursday.

Headlights and taillights have LED lights, and the interior features an 8-inch navigation screen, the press release added. To prevent danger from car accidents, the model automatically blocks mobile TV while driving. Among new features are electronic parking brakes, a heated steering wheel and a warning system against slamming on the brakes.
