Hyundai Nishat Motors has reportedly imported 456 CKD kits for their upcoming Sonata lineup. While there’s some time before the launch, the automaker’s import data suggests that the CKD kits arrived last week on Saturday, 12th July.
The 8th generation Sonata is the first Right Hand Drive model of the DN8 series. It is also the first model using the newer N3 modular platform, improving rigidity while reducing weight, which results in improved fuel efficiency and overall drive and performance.
