The Hyundai Sonata has been in continuous production since 1988, evolving through multiple generations and establishing itself as a reliable mid-size saloon. Early models carry straightforward laminated windscreens with a blue sun strip and green tint, while later variants introduce heated windscreen and heated wiper rest area options on premium trims.
From around the mid-2010s onwards, Sonata models began incorporating Hyundai's SmartSense ADAS suite, which includes a front-view camera mounted to the windscreen for lane-keeping and forward collision avoidance. When the windscreen is replaced on these camera-equipped variants, the camera requires static calibration using Hyundai diagnostic software and a dedicated calibration target.
