<br />We've already seen the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/24/spy-shots-rakish-2011-hyundai-sonata-draws-closer/">exterior pics</a> of the next Hyundai Sonata, and though the mule was well disguised, it had attractive proportions. What those images didn't reveal was the new Sonata's cabin, but a new spy shot shows a nearly production-ready interior.<br /><br />The first thing that caught our eye in the Sonata interior is the dual cockpit design, giving the driver and front passenger their own living quarters. There also appears to be a smattering of high quality materials, which makes sense given the highly competitive nature of the mid-size segment. Though the steering wheel is partially blocking the center stack, it appears that Hyundai is taking a page out of the Volvo playbook by using similar HVAC controls. Volvo uses the silhouette of a seated occupant in button form, making it easy to choose hot or cold air to the floor, dash, or windshield. The new Sonata steering wheel looks positively hideous in the spy photo, but we're guessing that it's unfinished and won't look this unpolished in production form. <br /><br />The Hyundai Sonata may still be a way from production, but the increased amount of spy photos surfacing tells us that this Hyundai is rapidly approaching its debut. At any rate, the Sonata is looking more impressive with each pic, and the final product looks like a lock to be a vast improvement over an already decent mid-size sedan.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-pics/">2011 Hyundai Sonata Spy Pics</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-pics/1518692/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/2010sonatainterior12_thum bnail.jpg" alt="Interior" title="Interior" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-pics/1514887/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/2011-sonata-spy1e_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-pics/1514886/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/2011-sonata-spy1d_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-pics/1514885/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/2011-sonata-spy1c_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2011-hyundai-sonata-spy-pics/1514884/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/2011-sonata-spy1b_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.hyundai-blog.com/index.php/2009/04/23/spy-shots-2010-hyundai-sonata-pre-production-interior/">Hyundai Blog</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/27/spy-shots-2011-hyundai-sonata-interior/">Spy Shots: 2011 Hyundai Sonata interior</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 27 Apr 2009 08:34:00 EST.
