The new model, with a name that combines two Chinese characters to produce the sound "Ling Xiang," is Hyundai's second to be manufactured in China and is part of efforts by the automaker to woo local customers, the company said in a statement.
Hyundai showcased the model at an automotive industry show in Guangzhou, according to the statement.
The carmaker didn't provide information about a sales target for the China-made Sonata.
The planned launch for the vehicle comes as most analysts expect Hyundai to miss this year's sales target in China, as a downdraft on auto sales growth in the world's No. 2 auto market is coming into focus.
Hyundai originally planned to sell 380,000 vehicles in China this year. In the first 10 months of the year, the automaker has sold 231,137 units in the country.
