STUD or DUD? Is The 2015 Hyundai Sonata's INTERIOR HOT HOT HOT Or Does It Leave You COLD?

If you haven't had the chance to read Agent 001's review of the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200, you may want to. Even better, check out the pictures of the car's interior. It's pretty nifty. That can be said about nearly every car in the midsize sedan class though as every automaker has stepped up its game.

But with the 2015 Hyundai Sonata, it appears that the Korean manufacturer is a couple of steps ahead of the rest. That's because the cabin looks more like its more expensive sibling, the all-new Genesis.

Everything appears to be purposefully placed, and the wood trim and stitching looks tastefully done. If you were to cross shop this interior with the Camry, we think it's clear which one YOU'd want to spend more time in.

Jesus! Dash kinda looks like a BMW ripoff!

My thoughts exactly and that's why I find it unattractive.

Kind of has the geometric feel of the current C-Class, but the details of BMW. But, overall it's just generic and boring.

It's nice for a Hyundai and that's exactly what car companies like Hyundai and Kia do. They rip off all the styling cues from higher end car brands and sell them in a cheaper package. Most people that are not much into cars will sit in this and think it's cutting edge. Those of us with any car knowledge or have been to an autoshow or two will see a bunch of copied interior cues and led lights that have already been around for 5 years.

Ugly interior. Symmetry is all off. Looks like the interior of a 70s station wagon.

It's actually a nice clean design. Asymmetry works if done well, and it works here.

And to all of the so call 'purists' on here, the people who will buy this really don't care what you think, lol.

Once again these Asians dye their hair to look like us. Why do they worship us? I always find it peculiar they're not happy looking Asian.

How can anyone be surprised that this is just a discount BMW for the poor whites who wish they had a BMW but can't afford one, so in come those swell Koreans to offer up their counterfeit cars.

If you're going to go cheap, go for the Elantra and save some money. I'm sure the next one will have a BMW interior as well and probably the shifter too.

You're looking too far into this my friend. More than likely the company is just trying to go for a conservative looking interior and it comes out looking similar to BMW.

For a website that doesn't report on Korean car sales because they don't want to report on sales decline, this place sure gives Hyundai/KIA alot of publicity. The Korean government must be paying a mint to this joke of a "news" site.

Well, 001 loves the special giggles and tingles that he gets when he's invited to premiere events. So, of course he and the other Agents are going to continue to publicize the Koreans, otherwise he'd be spending an awful lot of time at home. Well, until Audi or Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep call.

@nikejk,
Just like their shifter just happened to come out looking identical to the current BMW shifters. Pure coincidence that Korean talent came out with something 100% the same as German talent.
Or that Hyundai's headlights now have the eyelid design that BMW started using a few years ago. Imagine how two totally separate design teams ended up with the same product, 2 years apart.

The only people who pretend that its about quality are the ones who don't want to admit they bought the car purely because they can't afford anything better or are just plain cheap.
The Korean know cheap is our kryptonite.
