Year to Year Changes
2000 Hyundai Sonata:
For its second season in this form, the base-model Sonata added some standard equipment, including cruise control, a folding rear seatback, and 15-inch wheels.
2001 Hyundai Sonata:
Hyundai launched a new sedan named the XG300 for 2001, so the Sonata was no longer the South Korean company's top model. A new GLS Leather version joined the lineup--essentially a GLS equipped with a former option package, including leather upholstery, a power driver's seat, and premium CD/cassette stereo. Antilock all-disc braking, teamed with traction control, was optional only on the GLS Leather sedan. A sensor system deactivated both passenger airbags if a child or an empty seat was detected.
