Hyundai will launch its refreshed Sonata mid-sized sedan in Africa and the Middle East next month. The preview images of the car show dramatic changes to the car’s bodywork.

New sheet-metal and trim details will bring the current-generation Sonata into line with the Hyundai’s evolving design language, which is progressively introducing more sophisticated architecture and styling to the brand.

All panels forwards of the front windscreen are new, as are the trunk lid, rear bumper, and the sills below the doors.
