2020 Hyundai Sonata SEL – Phantom Black – 2.4L Inline 4 Engine

This Phantom Black 2020 Hyundai Sonata SEL is a striking and sophisticated midsize sedan that blends modern styling, refined comfort, and dependable performance. Its deep black finish creates a sleek, mirror-like appearance that highlights the Sonata’s sculpted body lines, bold front fascia, and coupe-like silhouette. The chrome accents along the grille, window surrounds, and door handles stand out elegantly against the Phantom Black paint, giving this Sonata a premium and timeless look.


Exterior Design

The 2020 Sonata SEL features Hyundai’s “Sensuous Sportiness” design language, creating a bold and flowing aesthetic from front to rear. The wide cascading grille is framed by integrated LED headlights and signature daytime running lights that blend seamlessly into the hood lines. Subtle creases flow along the body, emphasizing its aerodynamic shape and giving the car a sense of motion even when standing still. The sleek roofline gently tapers toward the rear deck, creating a sporty fastback-inspired profile.

Color-matched heated side mirrors with LED turn signal indicators and chrome-trim window moldings add upscale touches. The SEL trim rides on stylish 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-season tires, providing a balance of comfort and confident handling. LED taillights span across the rear for a distinctive nighttime signature, and dual chrome exhaust tips add a sporty finishing touch.


Performance and Powertrain

Under the hood, the Sonata SEL is powered by a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. This engine delivers smooth, reliable power for everyday driving while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency. It’s paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission featuring SHIFTRONIC manual mode, allowing the driver to control gear changes when desired.

Front-wheel drive and Hyundai’s well-tuned suspension system provide a balanced ride with precise steering response and stable cornering. The car feels composed over rough pavement and quiet at highway speeds, making it ideal for both city commutes and long-distance travel. The engine’s refined operation, combined with an efficient design, typically yields around 26 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway, depending on driving conditions.


Interior Comfort and Features

Step inside the Sonata SEL, and you’re greeted by a cabin that emphasizes comfort, technology, and thoughtful ergonomics. The interior is spacious and well-appointed, with soft-touch materials throughout and attention to detail in every surface and control. The charcoal and gray color scheme complements the exterior’s Phantom Black finish, creating a cohesive and modern aesthetic.

The front seats are generously cushioned and supportive, with 8-way power adjustment for the driver and heated seat functionality for both front occupants. The rear seats offer excellent legroom and headroom for adult passengers and feature a 60/40 split-folding design to expand cargo space when needed.

Dual-zone automatic climate control allows both driver and passenger to personalize their temperature settings, while the acoustic windshield and insulated cabin keep road noise to a minimum.


Technology and Connectivity

The Sonata SEL comes equipped with a high-resolution 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration. Bluetooth hands-free calling, voice recognition, and USB connectivity make daily driving convenient and connected.

A six-speaker audio system provides crisp, clear sound throughout the cabin, and steering-wheel-mounted controls allow the driver to manage audio, phone, and cruise settings without distraction. Keyless entry and push-button start come standard, along with remote start capability on equipped models.

The instrument cluster features a combination of analog gauges and a digital display that shows trip information, fuel economy, and driver-assist system status. Additional available features on the SEL include wireless charging, rear USB ports, and Hyundai’s Blue Link connected services, offering remote vehicle access and safety notifications.


Safety and Driver Assistance

Hyundai places a strong emphasis on safety, and the 2020 Sonata SEL is equipped with an extensive suite of advanced driver-assistance features known as Hyundai SmartSense. These include:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection

  • Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist

  • Driver Attention Warning

  • Blind-Spot Collision Warning

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning

  • Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go

  • Automatic High Beams

  • Rearview Camera with Dynamic Guidelines

Together, these systems enhance driver awareness and help prevent potential collisions, earning the Sonata high safety ratings in its class.


Ride Quality and Handling

The Sonata SEL delivers a smooth, composed ride that feels secure and refined. The front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension system work together to absorb bumps while maintaining sharp handling characteristics. The steering is light yet precise, making parking and city driving effortless. On the highway, the Sonata tracks confidently and remains stable even during lane changes or crosswinds.

Hyundai’s engineers designed the chassis for quiet operation and a solid feel, with extensive sound-deadening materials used throughout the body structure. The result is a calm, upscale driving experience that rivals more expensive sedans.
