Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact. ### What wiper connector does a Hyundai Sonata use? Some fitment guides list a 16-in passenger blade instead of 18-in. This discrepancy shows up across several Hyundai/Kia platforms of this era. Measure before ordering.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch. ## Sources - [Wikipedia, Hyundai Smartstream engine family (G1.6T, G1.6T Hybrid, displacement/output data)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Smartstream_engine) - [AMSoil lookup, 2022 Sonata 2.5L oil viscosity/capacity](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2022/hyundai/sonata/2-5l-4-cyl-engine-code-a-a/) - [Costa Oils, 2023 Sonata 2.5L Turbo (N Line) oil guide](https://costaoils.com/2023-hyundai-sonata-2-5l-turbo-oil-change-guide-2/) - [Hyundai Forums, N Line owner's manual 0W-30 vs. 0W-20 cap discussion](https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/0w-20-oil-only-one-listed.671641/) - [Goodyear, 2024 Sonata factory tire fitments by trim](https://www.goodyear.com/en-us/vehicles/Hyundai/Sonata/2024) - [Headquarter Hyundai, 2020 Sonata fuel tank capacity and EPA mpg](https://www.headquarterhyundai.com/research/2020-hyundai-sonata-mpg/) - [US News, 2021 Sonata Limited 1.6T engine specs](https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/hyundai/sonata/2021/specs/sonata-limited-1-6t-416162) - [Go-Parts, 2021-2024 Hyundai/Kia 2.5L Smartstream (G4KN) oil dilution/piston-ring notes](https://www.go-parts.com/garage/engine-complete-assembly-kia-sorento-hyundai-santa-fe-hyundai-sonata-2021-2024) ## Find your exact Sonata - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2012) - [2011](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/2011) More Hyundai Sonata guides: - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/tires) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/sonata/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
