The new EF series Sonata arrived in 1998, debuting the Hyundai-Kia Y4 platform. Compared to the Y3 predecessor, the EF grew slightly in size, but shared the same 2,700 mm (106.3 in) wheelbase. It also introduced double wishbone front suspension and independent, multi-link rear suspension. Initial engines from launch were the 2.0-litre with 136 hp (101 kW), and a 2.5-litre with 168 hp (125 kW)-the G6BW model of Hyundai Delta V6.
Hyundai facelifted the EF series in 2001 for model year 2002 as the EF-B series, revising the hood/bonnet, grille, headlights,tail-lights and rear license plate location from the fascia to the trunk lid - as well as revising the dash and seats.
Hyundai strengthened the body shell and firewall, widened the rear track, included anti-submarining front seat pans and added thicker front brake discs for the update.
The EF-B model featured an all-aluminum, G6BAY series 2.7-litre Delta V6 with 177 hp (132 kW), as well as the Sirius II 2.4-litre inline-four rated at 139 hp (104 kW) and 150 lb⋅ft (200 N⋅m) of torque.
