Hyundai Motor Co. on Thursday launched the Sonata N Line model in the domestic market to diversify its lineup.

The Sonata N Line sedan comes with a 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and an eight-speed dual clutch transmission, the company said in a statement.

It can reach 100 kilometers per hour in 6.5 seconds and is equipped with safety features, such as the lane keeping assist and front collision avoidance systems, it said.

The model is priced at 30 million won-36 million won ($27,000-$32,000).
