Hyundai Sonata N-Line Night Edition

I’m a huge N-Line admirer and it may very well be my next car in early 2022, as such I’ve been creeping these forums seeing what people who own the car have had to say and I feel the general consensus is “fantastic” overall. No car is perfect, same goes for the Sonata. But it is an excellent value for what it is.

with that said, no one has posted a picture yet of the “Night Edition” that’s coming but I snagged this one off Instagram since it was pretty clear.

What this version brings new with it has already been listed in other thread but I think I remember them:
  • Red accents (look at the front)
  • Special Hyundai emblems (see front, I think their dark chrome)
  • Special black Night Edition rims
  • Red painted brake calipers (no, not N performance brakes)
  • Carbon fiber trunk lip spoiler
  • Trim only available in black or white (very meh, as I like other colors too)

Wheels are pretty nice. Those red accent pieces are way too rice for me though. When I think of Night Edition though I kinda expect all the trim to be darker. Darker headlamps and dark chrome or black trim around the windows. I know the murdered look isn't for everyone, but if I had a black car it would be blacker than black lol. Hopefully it's not too pricey of a package considering most of this stuff can be done with some vinyl and paint.

This is what the US "Night Edition" gets:

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) rear lip spoiler
Matte black 19-inch unique alloy wheels w/ CFRP center caps
Red brake calipers
Dark chrome front and rear badging
Matte black mirror cover and upper door handle covers (body color on Quartz White)

The version called "The Black" is for the Korean market. Source: https://www.hyundainews.com/en-us/releases/3352

As others have said, that is not what the US will get, spec-wise. We won't get the same lights and I doubt the red markings will be on the production version.

I just did a search nationwide, no 2022 Night Editions out yet. I did see a lot of 2022 N Lines though. The lowest priced one is close by but is out of state for me. At the same dealer I bought my '16 Sonata PHEV Limited from. New 2022 Hyundai Sonata N Line For Sale $33,186 | Cars.com Not too bad. Advertised price includes doc fee and uses the $500 cash off for going with the Hyundai std finance rate. Just go with it and then refinance before you even pay your first payment.

Thanks for posting this. I am seriously considering 2022 N-line Sonata and like the Night Package you posted as I already decided to continue with Black as it reduces the catfish grill appearance dramatically. I really hope somehow the LED Lights make it to the USA.

Otherwise, I may start looking at Elantra N
If you dont need the room of the Sonata Id wait for the Elantra N. The new body style of the Elantra looks very much like a smaller version Sonata to me. It is supposed to be a full "N" not N Line and will have a lot more performance (286 hp in a smaller lighter car) it features LDS and different suspension like the Veloster N.

With an estimated price of $ 30,000

We have a separate thread going on this as well.
(4) Night Edition.. here it is | Hyundai Forums (hyundai-forums.com)

For the majority of us, we don't see this edition being anything all that great. I certainly think some will like it and I won't bash anyone for getting it - it will be just as great as the regular N Line is. Many of us just don't think the wheels look that great and that they should have darkened all of the chrome.

Just seems steep to charge $1,300 more for:
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) rear lip spoiler
Matte black 19-inch unique alloy wheels w/ CFRP center caps (these appear to just be the SEL Plus wheels, painted - why the price increase?)
Red brake calipers
Dark chrome front and rear badging
Matte black mirror cover and upper door handle covers (body color on Quartz White)

Now, if they had charged this and used the light weight black N wheels and upgraded N performance front brakes for that price, or even a bit more, then this would probably made current owners happy. For $1,300, most of us hoped the Night Edition would have some performance or additional visual enhancements, this is just a fail.

For me, I would like the rear lip spoiler and the center caps, hope that they will be available soon, haven't seen them in any online Hyundai parts site just yet. Will probably just settle for the center caps, I like the red circle, but guessing the spoiler will be more pricey than I care to spend for something truly cosmetic.

I know I shared this a while back, but there are a ton of new people since.. I wish that this "Night Edition" would have been an actual upgrade (obviously). If you look at the very bottom of this link- you can see that for Korea they have actual performance upgrades. The N Performance brakes would have been awesome. The black rims are at least better looking (an more unique) than the black SEL rims. Crazy to look and see how much stuff you can get on the Korean models. Jealous!

Same as OE. No slopes. No protrusions. Same wing. Different material. The N-Line lip isn't special at all, they also use it on the Sonata Hybrid. I know from experience due to having the wrong trunk on my car and dealing with Hyundai to get it right. Look at your own from the top, back and side. Different angles will yield different results.

I disagree. The shape is absolutely different.

Pic below of mine, you can clearly see the end of my OE N Line spoiler that butts up to the tail light is flush with the tail light and is not curved on the outer corner edge like the Night Edition one in the pic you posted, my OE N Line deck spoiler is square and flat with 90 degree corners.

I thought the spoiler was real carbon fiber but it looks like it’s hydrodipped, now that’s lame.
