2021 Hyundai Sonata Adds19-inch Wheels with Pirelli P Zero Tires
2021 Model Year Changes
2021 Sonata SEL Plus adds a standard 19-inch alloy wheel and tire package
The 2021 Sonata Limited adds a standard 6-way adjustable power passenger seat
Safe Exit Warning has been added to SEL, SEL Plus and Limited models as standard
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 23, 2020 – Following a complete redesign in 2020, the 2021 Sonata
model line features available 19-inch wheels and tires, Safe Exit Warning and a 6-way power
passenger seat on the Limited trim. The 2021 Sonata goes on sale in August.
The 19-inch alloy wheels with 245/40 R19 Pirelli P Zero™ tires are now standard on the turbocharged
SEL Plus trim. P-Zero All Season tires are for driving enthusiasts who want a combination of a
performance appearance, responsive handling and durability along with all-season traction, including
in light snow.
Safe Exit Warning (SEW) has been added to SEL, SEL Plus and Limited trims. SEW uses existing
blind-spot radar sensors to automatically warn the driver and passengers if oncoming traffic is
detected when parallel parked. The system provides an audible warning and a pop up message in the
cluster to ‘Watch for Traffic’ to help to prevent back-seat passengers from stepping out into traffic.
“The 19-inch wheels and tires make a beautiful looking car look and perform even better,” said Scott
Margason, director of product planning, Hyundai Motor North America. “After listening to our early
2020 Sonata buyers, we were quickly able to add power height adjustment to the passenger seat on

the Limited trim. In addition, across the lineup we’ve added Safe Exit Warning that gives drivers a
second set of eyes to let them know if it's safe to open the doors on the driver’s side of the vehicle
when parallel parked on a busy city street.”

The top-of-the-line audio and navigation display is a wide, high-definition, customizable, 10.25-inch
touchscreen monitor with split screens and natural language, and cloud-based speech recognition
powered by Blue Link, while the cluster display is a full 12.3 inches. The cluster has four views: utility,
driver assistance, navigation and parking assistance. The navigation system includes a bird’s-eye
view in Navigation maps, and drivers get HERE HD Traffic flow and incident data without ever paying
for a subscription. Dual Bluetooth support is also available, so two devices can be paired at the same
time—one for phone calls and one for streaming audio. The navigation system also comes with three
years of Blue Link Multimedia/Map updates. Hyundai’s eight-inch display audio user interface,
equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, is standard on Sonata. The Blue Link connected car
system is also available.
Digital KeyContinuing to promote the latest advances in technology, the Sonata supports Hyundai Digital Key via
a dedicated smartphone app. Hyundai Digital Key utilizes Near Field Communication (NFC)
technology, which exhibits a high level of security. The NFC wireless data communication takes place
only when the device and the reader are within several centimeters of each other. The Hyundai Digital

Key app also allows smartphones to control selected vehicle systems remotely. Using Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE) communication, users can lock and unlock the vehicle, activate the panic alert and start
the engine.
Not only does Hyundai Digital Key allow owners to leave traditional keys at home, it also allows secure
sharing of keys with family and friends. The level of access to different vehicle functions can be
tailored to each shared key user for a defined period. The vehicle owner can preset the duration of
vehicle use or limit the use to only certain features when loaning the vehicle, and, of course, keys can
be revoked remotely. For additional convenience in cases such as using a valet service or visiting a
Hyundai dealer, Hyundai Digital Key also works with an NFC card, which will be provided with each
vehicle. Each Sonata still comes with traditional proximity keys. Digital Key is compatible only with
phones using the Android operating system.
Complimentary MaintenanceThe Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance program includes oil and filter changes plus tire rotation
at normal factory-scheduled intervals for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
