The all new 2011 Hyundai Sonata is the most important car Hyundai will launch this decade. Aimed squarely at America’s most competitive vehicle segment, the new Sonata sports an aggressive new exterior and dramatic interior design. Now classified by the EPA as a large car but promising to be fuel efficient, the standard engine is a new direct-injection, 198 hp 2.4-liter four with projected 23/35 mpg city/hwy with available 6-speed automatic. A 6-speed manual is standard fare. Unlike rivals, Hyundai will not offer a V-6 but a Turbo 2.0-liter four is in the works for later this year. Navigation, Bluetooth, iPod/mp3 inputs, and upgraded sound along with numerous comfort and safety features make this new Sonata worth taking a second look.
