Hyundai Sonata is not as big as the Genesis sedan, but just as its bigger brother it has grown is size and is a great alternative to the domestic, European and Japanese likes.
The quality of Hyundai cars is nothing like it was 15+ years ago. They are luxurious, handle well, economical and look good.
The new Sonata is soon reaching dealerships and Hyundai has now announced pricing, which starts from $21,150 for the entry-level SE model in the United States.
The SE model comes with LED daytime running lights, a rear spoiler, 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, a tilt / telescoping steering wheel and a six-speaker audio system. Not bad for a low $20k model.
Moving up on the ladder, the Sonata Sport is priced from $23,175 and is distinguished with a revised grille, a dual exhaust system and 17-inch alloy wheels. The model also adds heated front seats, a 10-way power driver seat and an infotainment system with a 5-inch display.
The Sonata Limit is priced from $26,525, boasting leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather seats, woodgrain trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, a passive entry system, a 6-way power passenger seat and a premium audio system with seven speakers and a subwoofer.
The range-topping Sport 2.0T is priced from $28,575 and adds HID Xenon headlights, additional chrome trim, 18-inch alloy wheels, bigger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, a rear diffuser and a four-tailpipe exhaust system.
The Sonata SE, Sport and Limited models are powered by a 2.4-liter GDI four-cylinder engine with 185 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque, while the top of the line Sonata 2.0T uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 245 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque.
Both engines are connected to a six-speed automatic transmission which has a SHIFTRONIC manual shift mode.
