For the 2006 model year, Hyundai redesigned the Sonata front-wheel-drive midsize sedan, making a full-court-press to take on the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. Hyundai enhanced the model in 2007 with lower prices and more equipment. But 2008 brings a host of further changes, the most significant of which is the availability of both 4- and 6-cylinder engines in all models, as opposed to the automaker’s previous strategy of offering top-of-the-line cars exclusively with a V-6 engine.
