Sonata Arctica announces Fall 2023 co-headlining European tour with Stratovarius

The quintet — vocalist Tony Kakko, guitarist Elias Viljanen, bass player Pasi Kauppinen, Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg on keyboards and drummer Tommy Portimo — have gathered sumless fans worldwide, becoming figureheads of the power metal genre. And they keep riding the wave of success as highlighted by their recent “25th Anniversary Tour” across Latin America where many venues could hang “sold out” signs at their doors!

After visiting the European clubs as part of another “Acoustic Adventures” run last winter, Sonata Arctica will now return to the continent’s stages with an electric setting alongside fellow countrymen Stratovarius (the self-named “Kings of Power Metal”), who will be bringing tunes from their 2022 output “Survive” besides many classic tracks, this autumn.

While both bands are preparing co-headlining sets for the 24-show tour (two dates will be announced at a later point), which stands under the slogan “Nordic Power Metal Titans”, international symphonic power metal upstarts Induction are confirmed as the support act to present their sophomore record “Born From Fire” (released on November 25th, 2022, via Atomic Fire Records). This touring package is an ultimate must-see for all melodic power metal fanatics. Tickets are on sale now!

Sonata Arctica keyboardist Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg states: “We’re very excited to be back on the road playing power metal and on top of that we get to co-headline with our friends from Stratovarius! The first tour Sonata Arctica did back in 2000 was with those same guys, so it will be amazing to do it once again 23 years later, especially for those of us who weren’t there the first time around. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience… for the second time”!

Stratovarius comments: “We are super excited to do this autumn tour together with Sonata Arctica and Induction. We toured together with Sonata Arctica and Rhapsody back in 2000 when ‘The New Wave of Power Metal’ had just been unleashed, and this will be a great opportunity to show how strong power metal still is and how it’s evolved, adapted and survived”!

Induction guitarist Tim Kanoa Hansen adds: “Our latest album ‘Born From Fire’ has been received very positively during its release tour at the end of last year, but this was just the beginning. We can’t wait to present it to many more power metal hungry fans around Europe in autumn. Warming up the crowds for such influential giants of the scene will make it an even more special experience for sure. Induction are already starting their high-power engines – and you better do the same. Get your tickets and we’ll see you on the road”!

SONATA ARCTICA Shares New Single 'First In Line'

After releasing two acoustic albums, Finnish metallers SONATA ARCTICA have been secretly working on a new full-length. Fans can expect a return to their golden power metal roots on the group's forthcoming opus. Slated for release in the spring of 2024 via Atomic Fire , the band has unveiled a first taste of what's to come with a new single, "First In Line" .

SONATA ARCTICA frontman Tony Kakko states: "This is the first power metal song I wrote for the forthcoming album which is laden with them. Its demo title was 'First In Line' and I managed to stick with it. The song handles the worry about raising a new generation of people with or rather letting an electronic screen — namely TV, pad, or some such — do a big part of raising this generation of human beings. We think that we buy ourselves time with these gadgets, but are these devices the right 'nanny' for our kids or should we maybe slow down a bit, read books, teach that happiness can be and often is something we reach by stopping and letting go of constant stimulation of all our audiovisual senses? In ways, we are flying blindly with these things. Things are advancing too fast in many ways..."

More details on SONATA ARCTICA 's upcoming LP will be announced in the months to come.

In related news, the "Nordic Power Metal Titans 2023" European tour, featuring SONATA ARCTICA alongside Finnish countrymen STRATOVARIUS and rising international power metallers and labelmates INDUCTION , will commence this weekend. The 24-date trek stands among the most anticipated tours of the year.

Born in 1996 at the edge of the world in the northern Finnish town of Kemi, these humble music makers of melodic metal never tire of the sweet taste of victory. Achieving gold status in their native Finland and securing their ninth career gold record with 2012's "Stones Grow Her Name" just seven days after release, SONATA ARCTICA also have a long-established history of global chart domination and sold-out shows around the world.

SONATA ARCTICA is:

Hyundai Sonata’s New Design Ditches Straight Eyebrow-shaped DRL

Hyundai’s family look straight eyebrow-shaped drl has been boldly removed.

T he family look has the advantage of creating a sense of stability through a design that represents a brand’s identity and simultaneously creates unity. In addition, it can become a brand’s unique design and have a differentiating factor from other designs.

As cars are expensive products, consumers choose them after careful consideration. In this regard, design is also one of the main purchase decision factors. Since the first thing that catches the eye is the exterior, design is bound to play a large part in purchasing.

Family look design was created to imprint the design

Therefore, designers also find various ways to imprint their designs on consumers. At Hyundai Motor Company, seamless horizon daytime running lights in the shape of a straight eyebrow have become a representative family look and are being applied to various models. This can be found in Grandeur (Azera for the North American market), Kona Electric , Staria, Sonata, etc.

As it was applied to Hyundai’s representative models, it has become a design commonly seen around us. Many consumers express the opinion that this is boring and simplistic. Similar opinions were expressed overseas, and in overseas automobile media, Kolesa created a stir by revealing a design that boldly deleted the Sonata’s DRL.

Removing the straight lamp in the Sonata made it cleaner, but the feeling of emptiness

Removing the straight eyebrow-shaped DRL significantly changes the impression on the front. The DRL at the end of the existing bonnet disappeared, and the Hyundai emblem was lowered and placed. As the eye-catching DRL has disappeared, the shape of the bonnet appears more emphasized than before. Although the smooth body and angled bonnet lines appear more prominent, they feel somewhat empty.

The family look is critical, as changes in design elements significantly impact the impression. Designers also pay close attention to the composition of family looks. However, the family look has disadvantages. Since the same design is applied, it is bound to feel similar. In particular, the lamp design resembles the human eye and attracts more attention than others.

A design variation was created in the Santa Fe Efforts for a new design

Vehicles with different personalities are grouped into a family look and evaluated similarly. Accordingly, in the case of Santa Fe, efforts are being made to present a variety of designs, such as adding an H-shaped element. Some say that Hyundai Motor Company’s family look, the Seamless Horizon Lamp, is futuristic and neat, but many others say they easily get bored with simple and similar designs.

3 Biggest Changes to the 2024 Hyundai Sonata

While sedans may be falling out of favor, there still is a strong market for vehicles with four doors and a trunk. Hyundai is looking to capture a good chunk of this market, with offerings like the refreshed 2024 Hyundai Sonata .

While some refreshes aren’t much more than new taillights and a shuffling of features, the 2024 Sonata has been extensively overhauled. Inside, out, and even underneath, the mid-size sedan has been updated to keep competitive against the stalwarts like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.

Amongst all the changes, three features really stick out. We’ve summarized the biggest changes to the 2024 Hyundai Sonata below.

Clearly the Exterior

It doesn’t take more than a passing glance at the 2024 Hyundai Sonata to notice it’s different than the car it replaces . Starting up front, the car has Hyundai’s new design language that features a long LED light strip stretching across the width of the vehicle. Below it are the headlight clusters on either side that include the turn signals and dual vents.

At the back there is another full-width LED light strip that merges into vertical strips at both ends. The brake lights consist of six LED rectangles aligned through an inward pyramid shape. There is a standard integrated rear spoiler with built in air diffusers as well.

The overall shape and design is both bold and unique – a hallmark of many Sonatas through the years.

Addition of All-Wheel Drive

Hyundai has included optional all-wheel drive for the 2024 model year on the Sonata. For this year at least, it is only available with the 191 hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. That means it’s tied to the SEL trim in the United States and the Preferred trim in Canada. The N-Line with the potent turbocharged engine and the fuel-sipping Hybrid both remain front-wheel drive only.

New Screens, New Tech

Inside, the biggest change is noticed right in front of the driver. The infotainment system is now integrated with the driver information center behind a singular screen. In lower trim models, the driver information center is a 4.2-inch semi-digital display. In higher trims, it’s a 12.3-inch fully digital display. Regardless of driver information screen, the infotainment touchscreen is a standard 12.3-inches.

Just as important as the new screens, there’s another big technology change. The Sonata finally receives wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Although it’s a small change, in today’s world of constant connectivity, it’s a very welcome one, if not overdue. Just watch which trim of Sonata you’re in as the lower-level modes do not have a wireless charger to keep your phone juiced up.

These newer flat led dash screens in some cars are such a disappointment. Just no style or integration at all...I wouldn't buy it just for that alone.

I wouldn’t buy one because of their crap engines

I have hag 3 Sonatas in a row, no problems ever. I cant wait to get my fourth!

2024 Hyundai Sonata Review: New styling and features keep it compelling

A strong choice for all budgets, weather and performance preferences.

The family sedans in this world are dwindling, but fortunately, the ones that remain are quite good, including the 2024 Hyundai Sonata . Not only that, it’s quite affordable at the low end. It’s one of the only four midsize sedans that you can get for less than $30,000 .

Even better, the Sonata is quite striking to look at, particularly with the new 2024 refresh that gives it a particularly low and futuristic shape. It’s quite spacious inside and boasts excellent, user-friendly technology. It’s also rather efficient, especially the well-executed hybrid powertrain. Or, if power is your thing, there’s a gutsy turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with nearly 300 horsepower in the N Line.

Competition such as the revised 2025 Toyota Camry and Honda Accord may feel a tad more refined on the road, and offer slightly more playful driving dynamics, but they also offer less variety in trim and powertrain options, and they have more conservative styling (though that could be a positive depending on your viewpoint). Regardless, the Sonata is a family car that should be on your short list (of an already small segment) if you’re looking at sedans.

Interior & Technology    |   Passenger & Cargo Space    |   Performance & Fuel Economy

What it's like to drive    |   pricing & features    |   crash ratings & safety features, what's new for 2024.

The Sonata received a fairly significant refresh for 2024. It has thoroughly redesigned front and rear ends, the former of which has a full-width daytime running light bar to go with its lower-looking nose. The interior has been revamped, too, with a design based on the Ioniq models and now contains a pair of larger 12.3-inch screens for instruments and infotainment. And finally, the Sonata comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Hyundai also tweaked the powertrain lineup. All-wheel drive is now available, much as it is in the Sonata's mechanically related Kia K5 cousin. What’s no longer available is the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder. That leaves just the standard naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder, naturally aspirated hybrid 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and the N Line’s turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder.

What are the Sonata interior and in-car technology like?

The 2024 Hyundai Sonata ’s new interior borrows heavily from the Ioniq line. Gone is the curvy dash with equally curvy intersecting segments. In place of that is a squared-off dash with a big monolith containing a combination of either two 12.3-inch screens for both instruments and infotainment (the infotainment screen being touch sensitive) or, on the base model, the same infotainment touchscreen, but with simpler digital instruments flanking a 4.2-inch information screen. In front of the panel is an Ioniq-style steering wheel with three spokes and a circular center portion with four square dots, reflecting the sequence for “H” in morse code. The shifter also goes to the Ioniq-style column stalk, and the infotainment and climate controls have been changed. The infotainment shortcut buttons are now physical and sit just above the climate buttons, and said climate buttons are now touch sensitive. But at least the temperature knobs remain. The infotainment remains as user-friendly as ever, thanks to mild updates to graphics to keep it looking fresh, as well as ensuring it runs very smoothly and quickly. A 12-inch color head-up display is available, too, but only on the Limited Hybrid trim.

There are some nice touches for tech junkies, too, including Hyundai’s “Digital Key 2,” which allows the owner to unlock the Sonata by waving an authorized smartphone over the exterior door handles. Hyundai also offers wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration as standard equipment. There are three USB ports, and wireless charging is refreshingly not exclusive to the highest trim level.

N Line buyers are treated to more aggressively bolstered seats, a sport steering wheel and unique red accents in the stitching and on the air vents.

How big is the Sonata?

The Sonata doesn't have as much backseat legroom as the palatial  Honda Accord . The gap isn't as massive as the spec sheet suggests (we think there are differences in the way Hyundai measures interiors), and people taller than 6 feet can still sit one behind the other. You should also be able to fit a rear-facing child seat in the back without moving a front seat forward. Headroom is plentiful despite that sleek roofline, even more than the  Accord  and  Camry , both on the spec sheet and in person.

The trunk offers 15.6 cubic feet, which is fairly middle of the road for the segment. But as we discovered in our Sonata luggage test, that figure translates into similarly impressive stuff-carrying ability. Indeed, only the Accord trunk has been able to hold more stuff in our midsize sedan luggage tests.

What are the Sonata fuel economy and performance specs?

The 2024 Sonata is available with a choice of three powertrains. The base engine, only offered on the SEL trim, is a 2.5-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder making 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. These figures are typical for entry-level engines in the midsize segment. This engine is rated at 25 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and 29 mpg combined with front-wheel drive, and 25/34/28 with all-wheel drive.

The most potent engine offering is the 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder under the hood of the Sonata N Line. It spins out 290 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the other Sonatas, the N Line uses a dual-wet-clutch automated manual that also provides rev-matching and launch control. The N Line’s turbo-four can’t quite match the horsepower of the  Toyota Camry ’s V6, though it does offer more torque.  EPA  estimates for the N Line are 23/32/27.

The fuel-economy champ is a  2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid . It utilizes a 150-horsepower, 2.0-liter naturally aspirated inline-four and a 39-kW electric motor paired with a traditional six-speed automatic. Combined, the powertrain produces a total of 192 hp. This is good for 44 mpg city, 51 mpg highway and 47 mpg combined in the SEL and Limited.

What's the Sonata like to drive?

We've driven the Sonata in hybrid and N Line variants, but we have yet to try out one with the base 2.5-liter with or without all-wheel drive. Of the versions we've driven, we’ve found them to be surprisingly engaging to drive compared to Sonatas of that past. That even applies to the hybrid, which was previously synonymous with dull. Although the Honda Accord is the superior athlete in this class (RIP  Mazda6 ), the Sonata isn’t far behind, striking a competent balance between comfort and handling prowess for a daily driver. You probably won't have fun in it, but it's vice free and it won't bore you to death with completely anesthetized controls. Take the steering, which has linear, consistent effort and is sufficiently responsive to your inputs. We're also fans of Hyundai's new, nicely contoured four-spoke steering wheel.

The Sonata Hybrid drives more like a regular gas-only car than its rivals thanks to its traditional transmission. The Accord Hybrid feels more like an electric car (with an engine that occasionally whirs independently of what your right foot is doing), while the Toyota Camry can drone due to its e-CVT (although it is a bit better for 2025 in this regard). If you're put off by the typical weirdness of a hybrid, this is the one to get. At the same time, you can definitely notice the electric boost given to the engine when accelerating.

The N Line, however, is much quicker. Acceleration is strong enough to cause the steering wheel to squirm in your hands, particularly at lower speeds. With stiffer suspension components and bigger brakes , there’s more to the N Line than just extra power. The car is more responsive in corners but the ride doesn’t beat up occupants over bad pavement. The faux suede seats provide loads of grip to help keep you in place. The dual-clutch transmission, though, isn’t spectacular. It’s a little clunky on shifts at low speed and when leaving a stop. It’s not particularly quick at shifting, either, and even in Sport mode, the shift logic works hard to keep the revs low. For really sporty driving, you’ll definitely be working the shift paddles. But, hey, it’s an N Line, not a full-on N model.

What other Hyundai Sonata reviews can I read?

2021 hyundai sonata n line first drive review.

Our review of the new-for-2021 Sonata N Line, which boasts more horsepower than any other family sedan. We wouldn't call it a full-on sport model, however, as it's smartly not hardcore enough to put off those who just want extra thrust and sharpened responses without a punishing ride or hyperactive nature. Our impressions remain largely consistent with the updated 2024 model.

2020 Hyundai Sonata Luggage Test | How much fits in the trunk?

The official trunk volume is 16.3 cubic-feet. Great, but how much does that mean in terms of actual stuff? This answers that. The results should not change despite the updates for 2024.

How much is the 2022 Sonata price, and what features are available?

The Sonata SEL is robustly equipped for a base-model vehicle. It has LED head- and taillights, 17-inch alloy wheels, powered and heated side mirrors, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control and automatic high-beam headlights. The SEL has a Convenience Package available for $3,050 that adds a bevy of features including larger 18-inch alloy wheels, panoramic sunroof, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 12.3-inch instrument screen, navigation, wireless device charging, auto-dimming rearview mirror and Hyundai Digital Key 2, which lets you use your phone as a key.

The most distinctive offering is the N Line, which in addition to its unique engine gets sportier front and rear bumpers, a rear spoiler and diffuser, dual exhaust tips, black exterior trim, N Line badging, dark interior trim with red accents, aluminum pedals, ambient lighting and sportier seats with grippy faux suede upholstery. Hyundai also includes various other comfort and convenience features such as a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, automatic climate control, eight-way power adjustable driver seat, wireless phone charging, 12.3-inch instrument screen, Bose sound system, Hyundai Digital Key 2 and remote start.

All prices below include a reasonable $1,150 destination charge.

SEL: $28,650 SEL Hybrid: $31,950 N Line: $36,100 Limited Hybrid: $38,350

What are the Sonata safety ratings and driver assistance features?

Standard safety equipment on the 2024 Sonata includes forward collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning a driver inattention warning system, lane keeping assist with lane centering, a rear occupant alert system, automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control. The Limited Hybrid is the only trim that gets the complete, multi-faceted array of blind-spot tech that we named Autoblog Technology of the Year several years ago.

Besides the sheer volume of these safety and driver assistance features, we've found them to be among the best-executed on the segment. They do their job well without annoying you. The Sonata gets a an IIHS Top Safety Pick rating for all trims. Its headlights have improved across the board, though strong performance is required in the organization’s updated moderate front overlap test. The Sonata has a “Good” rating for the old test, but a “Poor” rating for the new one, preventing it from getting the Top Safety Pick+ rating. All other scores are exceptional. The government ( NHTSA ) hasn’t given the sedan an overall safety rating, but frontal testing is rated at four out of five stars, and rollover safety at five stars.
