Hyundai Turns Heads with Innovative Sonata Taxis in South Korea

Hyundai has started selling taxis in South Korea, specifically the Sonata model. However, there are currently no plans to release an updated version of this model as a taxi. The Chinese division of Hyundai, known as Hyundai-Huindai, will not be producing these taxis locally, instead they will be specially manufactured for the Chinese market. The Hyundai Sonata taxi has some key differences from the regular three-box saloon model, including a slightly longer structure and a more efficient gear system. It is based on the Chinese Hyundai Sonata, but has a 2.0 liter engine optimized for alternative fuel (propane) and produces 146 horsepower. Despite its higher price, starting at 22.54 million won (around $16.3 thousand), the taxi version offers a wide range of colors and luxurious features.
