2012 Hyundai Veloster Reviews

2012 Hyundai Veloster Reviews--With an exterior design inspired by a high-performance sport bike, the new 2012 Hyundai Veloster is a sporty coupe that delivers an impressive 40 mpg and the same functionality as any hatchback coupe out there.

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is powered by an all-new Gamma 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, the smallest Hyundai engine to use Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI). Delivering an impressive 138 HP, the engine is mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission or an all-new, six-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Inspired by a high-performance sport bike, the Hyundai Veloster features distinctive black A-pillars that give the glass a motorcycle helmet visor appearance, an aggressive signature hexagonal front grille, hood scoop detailing, and unique Hyundai-signature LED position lights. The rear gets dual centered chrome exhaust tips and a black lower fascia that complements the assertive front fascia. Hyundai also offers a sport-tuned electric power steering that adjusts instantly to changing driving conditions while improving fuel economy over a conventional steering system.

The Mini Cooper is powered by a 1.6 liter engine that delivers 121 HP. Priced from $18,275, the Scion tC is powered by a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine with dual VVT-i that generates 180 HP.
The Hyundai Veloster is pitched at the same people who buy the Fiat 500, Mini, Honda CR-Z and perhaps even VW Golf.

Drive goes to the front wheels via either a six-speed manual or the optional six auto slots of Hyundai’s first dual-clutch transmission (with steering wheel shift paddles) which the company says is as fuel-efficient as the manual, claiming 5.9L/100km.

With stability control, six airbags and ABS with brake assist and brakeforce distribution, Hyundai hopes to get a five-star result when the Hyundai Veloster undergoes crash tests.

The engine is happy to hit high revs, but there’s no hot snarl from the squared off twin-exhaust tips, and it responds smoothly rather than snappily.

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is an all-new hatchback model.If you've been pining for a sporty-looking hatchback that is still passenger-friendly, the 2012 Hyundai Veloster may be just what you've been waiting for. Unlike the small access-style door found on the Mini Cooper Clubman, the Hyundai Veloster third door is a normal, front-hinged door; the exterior door release has been disguised to help keep the coupe look intact.

The front-wheel-drive Hyundai Veloster will be powered by a 1.6-liter direct-injected inline-4 that's good for 138 horsepower. Hyundai is projecting a 40 mpg highway rating.

New Cars - Hyundai Elantra

Hyundai Reviews -  One of the likely consequences of the federal government's push for more stringent fuel economy standards is that more people will be driving smaller cars in the future. Not too long ago, with the exception of a few distinguished compact cars, that didn't look like a very appealing reality.

That's changed with the debut of efficient models like the Chevrolet Cruze, the upcoming 2012 Ford Focus and now the redesigned Hyundai Elantra. The Elantra has all the makings of a sales success: stop-and-stare styling, a fuel-sipping four-cylinder engine and an optimal blend of ride comfort and handling poise — all at a competitive price.

In short, the Elantra is a home run in the compact segment, allowing more drivers to happily enter a fuel-efficient future.

The 2011 Elantra sedan is available at Hyundai dealerships now and is offered in two trim levels: base GLS and upscale Limited. I tested automatic-transmission versions of both trims; click here for a side-by-side comparison of the two models.

Styling

The redesigned Elantra makes a good case for being the most stylish new compact sedan on the market. The car's designer, Cedric D'Andre, said one of the goals of the design was to create a car that was at least as sporty-looking as the Honda Civic, which still has a modern look even though it hasn't been fully redesigned since the 2006 model year. Hyundai has definitely met its goal, as the Elantra's styling is as dynamic as it gets in this class.

Like the Civic, the Elantra's front roof pillars have been stretched toward the front fenders, resulting in a windshield with greater rake. This gives the car a streamlined appearance, but the left pillar blocks your view a little when navigating winding roads. The car has the look of a coupe as the rear window stretches nearly to the tail, resulting in a short trunklid.

Besides the appealing proportions, there's also a bit of visual flair almost everywhere you look. Pronounced hood and door creases, arching fender flares and a trunklid lip spoiler all contribute to a level of sophistication that's been mostly absent in compact-car designs, until recently. I'd been wondering what car was going to challenge the new Focus from a styling standpoint, and with the new Elantra that question has been answered — and then some.

Efficiency & Drivability

Automakers have been racing to produce small cars that get great gas mileage using conventional engines, and Hyundai has succeeded on that front with the 2011 Elantra, which is powered by a new 148-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder that gets an EPA-estimated 29/40 mpg city/highway with either the manual or automatic transmission. And Hyundai didn't sacrifice drivability to achieve those thrifty mileage figures.

There's no denying the Elantra is a modestly powered car, but so are most of its competitors, including the Civic, Cruze and Toyota Corolla. There are times when you need to use a heavy foot to pick up the pace — like when merging on the highway — but the Elantra gets around well at city speeds and on rural roads. Even when revved high, the engine sounds refined, with no buzzing from the engine bay.

As gas mileage promises to be a big selling point for the Elantra, I wanted to get a sense of its real-world efficiency. In one leg of driving that totaled slightly more than 100 miles, my driving partner and I averaged 38 mpg, according to the Elantra's trip computer. The route consisted of mostly traffic-free rural roads and urban freeways, with some city driving mixed in. The terrain was hilly, the air conditioning was running and neither of us altered our driving style to get better mileage. We were, in fact, hustling the car pretty aggressively.

Contributing to the Elantra's thrifty fuel use and good drivability is its optional six-speed automatic, which is a new Hyundai-developed transmission. The automatic's shifts are refined — even under hard acceleration — and quick. The transmission also doesn't race to get to its highest gear — a fuel-saving tactic some cars use — which improves responsiveness. The automatic listens attentively to your right foot; jab the gas pedal when cruising, and it readily kicks down a gear. The transmission's clutchless-manual mode is also quick to respond to driver-initiated gear changes, with none of the delay that plagues many of these systems and makes them unrewarding to use.

Ride & Handling

Before driving the Elantra, I had my reservations about its driving dynamics. Some of Hyundai's other small models, like the Tucson crossover, don't offer the best driving experience, and I wondered if Hyundai had figured things out with this car. After spending a day driving it in and around San Diego, it's clear the automaker has. The Elantra's combination of ride comfort and handling should please both everyday commuters and those who like to tackle a winding road now and then.

I consider myself in the latter category, and Hyundai's drive route — which took us close enough to Mexico that we could see the border fence just a few hundred yards from the road — provided miles of serpentine asphalt.

One of the most interesting aspects of the Elantra is how willingly it tackles curving roads. The car resists body roll, even when pushed hard into a corner, and lifting on the gas slightly had the effect of helping bring the tail through the corner more quickly, enhancing the car's already nimble feeling. The Elantra's suspension tuning makes it a sporty choice in the style of the Mazda3, which ranks as one of the more engaging mainstream compact cars available in the U.S.

I also got a feel for the car in more mundane driving, like highway cruising. Here, ride quality isn't as sensitive to rough pavement as it is in a Civic nor as isolating as in a Corolla, but it skews more toward the Civic. The ride is taut, but not overly so. Suspension rebound over dips and bumps is controlled, and there's a solidity to the design that's been missing in some other Hyundais, which have noisy suspensions. It's also quiet enough in the cabin at highway speeds to hold a conversation without having to raise your voice.

The Elantra has electric power steering, and it doesn't take much effort to turn the wheel. The car has very good straight-line tracking. The only time the steering seems to get a little flustered is in sections of continuous switchbacks where you need to turn the wheel back and forth again and again; there, the wheel feels numb.

A Cabin That Matches the Exterior's Promise

The Elantra's exterior sets high design expectations, but the cabin gets a fair dose of style itself. It's stylish in numerous ways, from the simple yet elegant ventilation system knobs to the slender control panel in the middle of the dashboard. The cabin is unequivocally modern — but not at the expense of occupant comfort.

For a small car, the front of the Elantra's cabin feels spacious, easily accommodating my 6-foot-1 frame. The standard height-adjustable driver's seat is a nice feature, and the seat went far enough back for me to sit comfortably. However, the steering wheel's optional telescoping feature doesn't extend far enough for taller people.

Besides giving the cabin a unique look, the slender center panel opens up more room for your knees than many conventional designs offer. You don't feel cramped in this car, and headroom is still pretty good in models with a moonroof — a feature that tends to rob space.

There was a time when roughly finished cabins were more common in this class, but refined interiors are becoming the norm, and the Elantra's compares well with the best of them. It features mostly high-grade materials — some of which have interesting patterns — and good fit and finish. Hyundai even went so far as to give the Elantra's fiberboard headliner and sun visors an upscale, woven-fabric pattern.

A few minor shortcomings did crop up. Faux-metal trim is prominent on the dashboard and doors, and while the shapes of the pieces are interesting, their appearance isn't that compelling. It also doesn't feel that great when you have to grab hold of it to close the front door. The flat-black plastic surrounding the audio system looks a little low-rent, the center dash vents can't be individually closed, and though Hyundai made the dashboard soft-touch, it neglected to do the same for the doorsill trim.

There's no question I was pushing the limits of space in the backseat; when I sat down, my head touched the rear window (the Elantra's 37.1 inches of rear headroom is similar to what the Civic, Corolla and Cruze offer). The Corolla and Cruze do have a few inches more rear legroom than the Hyundai, which has 33.1 inches, but I nonetheless had enough legroom in the Elantra — even with the front seat adjusted for me. The Limited trim has heated rear seats — an uncommon feature in this class.

Safety

Standard safety features include all-disc antilock brakes, side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags and an electronic stability system. The stability system is part of the car's standard Vehicle Stability Management technology, which also uses the electric power steering to help keep the car on its intended course.

Elantra in the Market

The recently redesigned Sonata family sedan has been a breakout success for Hyundai. It gave families a stylish, fuel-efficient, value-packed alternative to the traditional heavyweights in its segment, and consumers have taken note.

The smaller Elantra follows much the same formula. It's affordably priced, has loads of style and sips gas. Plus, it adds a dash of driving fun, giving small-car shoppers plenty of reasons to choose it over one of the sales leaders. Like the Sonata, the Elantra is a car that will make people sit up and take notice — and competing automakers should, too.

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo - Future Cars

Is this the turbocharged Veloster? And can we have it in the U.S., please?

Hyundai’s unique Veloster is due to arrive in the U.S. this summer with a 138-hp, 1.6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder, and now our spy shooters have captured a prototype that just might be the promised turbocharged version. We have prior confirmation that the car will get a turbo’d, 210-hp version of the Veloster’s little four on the Continent, and we have an inkling that we’ll see it here, too.
A number of clues point to this being the go-faster iteration of the funky-doored coupe. For starters, the front grille and fascia are very different from those of the standard 2012 Veloster—even camouflaged, it’s clear that this car’s intake openings are much larger. The gaping maw would allow improved airflow to an intercooler while also imparting a more aggressive look, and the front appears to house round fog lights—replacing the standard car’s trapezoidal units—above more-pronounced corner sculpting. The lower front fascia aligns with chiseled rocker-panel extensions; together, they give this Veloster prototype a lower-slung look. Moving around to the rear of the test Veloster, we find large round exhaust outlets instead of the normal model’s rectilinear ports.

This may simply be a non-turbo European-spec test car, but if this car is in fact a U.S.-bound blown model, it’s likely at least a year away. The Michigan manufacturer’s plate confirms nothing, as Hyundai maintains an R&D facility in Ann Arbor and automakers routinely test cars in America that will never be sold here.
While we haven’t yet had a chance to drive a workaday Veloster, we don’t see how more power couldn’t be more fun. Bring it on, guys.

TEST NOTES: Crippling understeer on the pad—especially to the right—and it isn’t inhibited by ESP. No brake feel whatsoever. Can’t brake-torque or aid launch in any way.

Lately, Hyundai seems to have adopted the role of the auto industry’s kid brother. Products like the Equus and the Genesis sedan and coupe seem to be the relatively young Korean brand’s way of saying to the rest of the business, “Anything you can do, I can do!” With as many bases covered as is prudent at a time of economic uncertainty, and with the gas-price EKG in the midst of a high-altitude hang-up, the company is now following its competitors into the hybrid-sedan arena.
Hyundai’s first hybrid for the U.S. is the comparo- and 10Best-winning Sonata. The 2.4-liter inline-four is tuned to run on the more-efficient Atkinson combustion cycle, dropping output from 198 hp and 184 lb-ft to 166 and 154. In place of a torque converter, the Sonata hybrid has an electric motor that makes 40 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque and is disengaged from the gas engine by a hydraulic clutch during electrical operation. Together, the engine and the motor drive the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. A 1.4-kWh lithium-polymer battery pack lives behind the rear seats, where it gobbles about 5.5 cubic feet of trunk space, leaving the car with 11. The pack itself weighs about 96 pounds; the motor and the associated electronics add another 160 or so.
The hybrid adds about $5500 to the cost of a four-cylinder Sonata with the automatic, bringing the sticker to $26,545. In addition to the hybrid stuff—and the associated increase in EPA-estimated fuel economy from the conventional car’s 24 mpg city/35 highway to 35/40—the hybrid has aluminum wheels, heated power mirrors, auto on/off projector-beam headlights with LED taillights, Bluetooth, an eight-way power driver’s seat, keyless entry and starting, and more. The car tested here added a sunroof, 17-inch wheels—plus one over the standard rims—heated leather seats, touchscreen navigation, satellite and HD radio, and a backup camera in one huge $5000 bundle. None of this stuff is available à la carte, so you get it all or you get none. Floor mats for $100 and an iPod cable for $35 were our only stand-alone options and brought the total to $31,680.

The Difference between Hard-Working and Overworked

In many hybrids, particularly those with EV modes, we’ve wondered why we can’t get more effort out of the electric motor before the gas engine fires up. If the Prius’s electric motor makes 80 hp, then why does the gas engine step in when we’re only asking for 30 or 40? In the Sonata, we never asked this question. Hyundai’s system is remarkably aggressive in its adherence to electrical operation, and the Sonata’s 62-mph electric ceiling is tops among the current crop of hybrids. The 40-hp electric motor allows the gas engine to slumber during even moderate acceleration, and we drove nearly a mile at speeds between 30 and 50 mph without the engine starting—and more important, without driving like we were dreading our destination. Over its stay with us, the Sonata hybrid achieved 27 mpg, a reasonable figure for a sedan this size in our care.
The integration of the hybrid system is far less impressive. Regardless of throttle input, the car rolls away from stops in EV mode. At about 10 or 15 mph, the gas engine starts with a jolt, and the rate of acceleration changes abruptly. Under full throttle, engine startup often causes a tire chirp. When cruising with the engine off at higher speeds, acceleration happens in four distinct steps: 1. Max out electric motor. 2. Start gas engine. 3. Strain gas engine in higher gear. 4. Downshift and get moving. If this is what happens when you make your electric motor work harder, we understand why everyone else on the market takes it easier on them.

Honey, I Cut the Brake Lines

The stopping isn’t any better than the going. Try this: Hold your foot out in front of you and flex your toes. Congratulations! You’ve just approximated the brake feel in the Sonata hybrid. As you might imagine, smooth stops are a challenge, and rarely were we able to summon the exact amount of brake force we were looking for. It’s not just annoying, it’s dangerous. While driving on a gravel road, one of our editors had to stomp on the brakes when a deer jumped in front of him. The car seemed caught off guard by this action, taking a few moments before applying full braking force. Fortunately, the deer—not hindered by computers deliberating how to incorporate mechanical and electronic systems in its response—got the heck out of the way.
The best we can say of the brakes is that they are consistently bad. On entering the car, when you press the pedal before starting the engine, it sinks immediately to the floor as though someone had cut the brake lines. Those with a habit of dating people who become crazy exes will want to avoid this car, as it will resurface terrifying memories or feed the paranoia. Not just the feel, but the performance, too, will fuel your fears. The Sonata’s 199-foot 70-mph-to-0 braking performance is more of a full-size-pickup number than something we usually see from a family sedan.

You will find feeling in the steering, although only sporadically (just like your feelings for that crazy ex). Hampered by what our tester called “crippling understeer,” the Sonata lazily circled the skidpad at 0.73 g, another figure more befitting a full-size pickup. Most pickups would outperform the Sonata hybrid in a drag race, too. It needed 9.5 seconds to get to 60 mph and 17.1 to gasp through the quarter-mile at 83 mph. By the time the Hyundai accelerates to 100 mph (26.4 seconds), the 700-hp Lingenfelter Cadillac CTS-V we recently tested could probably accelerate to 100 mph and come to a complete stop twice. So, if you’re cross-shopping the two, go with the Lingenfelter.

Bring On the Sledgehammer
As a Sonata, the hybrid has a lot going for it—rich styling inside and out, a spacious and comfortable interior, a strong value proposition—but the hybridization has adversely affected the driver’s every interaction with the car. Hyundai’s achievements with the gas-electric system are commendable from an objective standpoint, and with this car, the company has the (very) crude beginnings of an impressive hybrid sedan. But this hybrid doesn’t so much need a polishing as it needs its rough edges attacked with an angle grinder—or a sledgehammer. Hyundai has proven unusually quick to address the shortcomings of its products. It needs to put this car at the top of its list.

2011 Hyundai Sonata

After the Genesis, which is a bold product draped in drab sheetmetal, and the Genesis Coupe, which looks good but also a bit too much like the underwhelming Tiburon, here, finally, is the Hyundai that really is going to stop people in their tracks. And it will wear the everyday Sonata badge.

While the actual design of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata largely appears to be a 3-D Xerox of the Volkswagen CC, Hyundai seems to have been peering over Mazda’s shoulder when it drafted the car’s stylistic philosophy of “fluidic sculpture,” which it says is inspired by nature and “tries to reflect sophistication and dynamism in the shape of the vehicle.” Regardless of cues, inspiration, or wholesale design theft, there is no arguing that the shape is dramatic, whether wearing a VW badge or the stylized Hyundai “H.” The surprising design continues inside, with a handsome, upscale blend of materials, colors, and swoopy, modern shapes.

High-Tech and High-Luxe

Hyundai promises a comprehensive technological roster, including standard stability control and hill-start assist—although we don’t understand why people need this when the standard transmission is a six-speed automatic—as well as a brake-assist system and adjustable dampers. Available luxury equipment will include a three-piece panoramic sunroof and heated seats front and rear.

Also new is the Sonata’s onboard telematics system—think Korean OnStar. Emergency-notification and anti-theft tracking functions are free for the first two years, but maintenance-monitoring and -alert capabilities are probably going to cost extra.

2012 Hyundai Accent

The 2012 Hyundai Accent will be fully redesigned.
For comparison, the 2011 Fit produces 117 hp and 106 lb-ft. Fuel economy should also be superior; Hyundai is claiming 30 mpg city and 40 mpg highway.

"Active ECO," a feature that tweaks engine and transmission control to optimize fuel economy, can be switched on to increase fuel economy up to 7 percent, according to Hyundai. Inside, Hyundai promises an upscale design and superior passenger and cargo room.
Hyundai Motor America introduced the all-new 2012 Hyundai Accent with best-in-class standard fuel economy and power at the 2011 New York International Auto Show (NYAS) in April.

The 2012 Hyundai Accent is the best car for you if want an all-new small sedan or hatchback that bursts into the upper echelon of the subcompact class with exceptional style, value, and fuel economy.

Should you buy a 2012 Hyundai Accent or wait for the 2013 Hyundai Accent? Buy a 2012 Accent. The 2012 Accent returns a four-door sedan body style but replaces a two-door hatchback with a four-door hatchback. The 2012 Accent also ranks amid class leaders for cargo space. The sedan has a 13.7-cubic-foot trunk and the hatchback has 21.2 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 47.5 with the rear seatbacks folded. The 2012 Accent lineup begins with the sedan in a single GLS level of trim. The GLS sedan and GS hatchback have 14-inch steel wheels with wheel covers; 16-inch alloys are optional on the GLS and standard on the SE.

The 2012 Accent transmission selection also is in the subcompact forefront, with a choice of a manual and an automatic that both have six speeds. Accent’s automatic-transmission has a floor shift lever that can be toggled to provide manual-type gear selection, another relatively rare feature in this class.

Standard on 2012 Accents equipped with the automatic transmission is a feature Hyundai claims improves fuel economy by as much as 7 percent. Hyundai says the 2012 Accent is the first subcompact to come standard with four-wheel disc brakes; the class norm is rear drum brakes that are potentially less efficient than rear discs. Every 2012 Accent also has electric power steering, which also is the modern standard and improves fuel economy by eliminating the strain of an engine-driven hydraulic system. Accent’s SE model gets a sportier steering calibration than the GLS and GS models.

Features: Accent is about value and there’s no change in that storyline for 2012. The company offered a stripper 2011 Accent two-door hatchback at under $11,000, including destination fee. The entry-level 2012 Accent, the GLS sedan, is still among America’s least expensive new cars, though it starts at $13,205, including destination.

A 60/40 split/folding rear seatback is standard on every 2012 Accent.
It includes all the GS standard features, plus Bluetooth and cruise control, regardless of transmission choice.

New Hyundai Genesis Prada sedan exclusive model

The New Hyundai Genesis Prada sedan
To enter the luxury class, Hyundai Motor Co. introduced a premium or exclusive model, namely Hyundai Genesis Prada sedan . Especially for that one model will not use the Hyundai logo. Though Hyundai of South Korea's market dominated by two cars sold in that country one of them confirmed Hyundai. Actually, in addition to Genesis, Hyundai luxury cars are also marketed under the name Equus. Both models are sold without the use of the Hyundai brand.

Although both sedan that is familiar to most elite of South Korea, Hyundai tried to make the car more classy. Hence, this sedan comes with two brands, Hyundai Genesis Prada.

2011 Hyundai Sonata Review

Hyundai introduced its new Hyundai Sonata from 2011 to 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. It was the American premiere of the latest version of the popular midsize sedan, the introduction of Hyundai language "Sculpture fluid" design and a list of four-cylinder engine in the U.S. market.

Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai is the second vehicle 24 / 7 version 2.0 product initiative (seven new models over the next 24 months) after the new Tucson. Hyundai Sonata will begin production in December 2009 at the Hyundai plant in Alabama, U.S. retail sales in January 2010.

2011-Sonata is a modern approach to traditional medium-size sedan leading companies only four-cylinder engines, emotional design and luxury to the proposal offered by Hyundai high value. 2011-Hyundai Sonata raises interesting questions:

* Why a luxury sedan is a solid modern, elegant, sophisticated style?

* Why pay so much to get a taste of luxury?

* Why can not a powerful four-cylinder engine that delivers V6 power?

Sculpture fluid idiom

Sonata projects from 2011 and 2010 in Tucson, Hyundai's engineers went to work about three and a half years ago, Sculpture fluidic components. Fluidic components sculpture is a consistent, unified design language, or chain across the Hyundai showroom. In developing the first drafts of the Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai's engineers liked the interaction between the natural, fluid elements with hard surfaces and structures to create the illusion of continuous motion. Inspired by nature, fluid flow components sculpture injects elegance and dynamic angles of the shape of the vehicle, and now serves as the core of planning for the identity of the future of Hyundai.

The exterior of the new Hyundai Sonata is a long, thin and weak. The high beltline gives the possibility of a long sleek roofline is highlighted by the third window. A single-page profile form contains fluid lines are highlighted by chrome accents Hyundai signature that extends along the length of the car. Usually, this type of plate are found around windows. On the new Hyundai Sonata, extends this headlights base, multiply on the cover and throughout the beltline. The face is fat with a heavy chrome grille and large headlights, which incorporate specific details. The position is completed at 16 -, 17 - or 18-inch multi-spoke wheels.

The sophisticated look continues inside, where Hyundai has created an atmosphere of luxury thanks to a continuous flow of the center console and dashboard. These complement the general appearance of flowing surfaces and wrap around the driver and passengers.

HYUNDAI PACKAGING EFFICIENCY

The elegant design, along with Hyundai's experience in interior packaging, have produced an interior that offers comfort first, functionality and practicality. A sleek roofline compromises normal height and the interior volume, but at 120.2 cubic feet, the Hyundai Sonata has the most interior volume of its main competitors. Is so vast, Hyundai Sonata is still classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a big car, a true "upper class" Camry, Altima, Fusion and Malibu (all are considered mid-size cars). Even in trunk room, the Hyundai Sonata shines. Sonata 16.4 cubic feet. square trunk space give it an advantage of 9.3 percent in the Camry, and a profit of 17.1 percent in the Agreement.

The new Sonata will launch with the new Hyundai Motor GDI Theta II four-cylinder 2.4-liter direct injection gasoline (GDI) for the supply of fuel, which contributes to fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Hyundai Sonata is the first midsize sedan to take GDI technology as standard equipment on the mechanics of natural aspiration. This short course, more direct fuel delivery, enables better control of the fuel mixture at the optimum time, thus improving efficiency. The fuel is injected by a camshaft drive high pressure pump that operates at pressures up to 2,175 psi. Direct injection also uses a more normal 11,3:1 compression ratio for more power. The pistons are "rounded" to increase the efficiency of combustion in the cylinder. This engine will be better fuel economy in its class, best engine power in its class with four cylinders and more torque in its class.

Hyundai Sonata offers an impressive 23 mpg city/35 mpg highway estimated fuel economy rating * available with a six-speed automatic transmission SHIFTRONIC ®. (If you have a six-speed manual transmission, Hyundai Sonata have been about 23 mpg city/34 mpg highway fuel economy rating.) power and torque ratings preliminary Theta II GDI has 198 hp and 184 Nm of torque. SE trim, which comes standard with two exhaust pipes, the engine produces 200 horsepower. This high-tech, all-aluminum 16-valve engine features Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) and a beak and a Variable Induction System (VIS) for better engine breathing. Version of the engine also meets Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) standard.

Next year, Hyundai will add a 2.0-liter Theta II turbocharged four-cylinder GDI and 2.4-liter hybrid model Blue Drive of Hyundai's flagship lithium polymer battery development. Details about these engines will be released in 2010 New York Auto Show. Hyundai Sonata range innovative propulsion system first segment is a key objective of the Hyundai to be the most efficient automaker in the world.

automatic and manual transmissions, six-speed

Hyundai's commitment to the Hyundai Sonata very low fuel consumption continues a six-speed automatic transmission with manual transmission or a six-speed manual SHIFTRONIC.

Hyundai A6MF2 new six-speed automatic engine to help the company achieve its goals for improving fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Shifts are silky smooth and the ability to manually go through SHIFTRONIC function.

Drivers can access the SHIFTRONIC by moving the gear selector into a separate port. Pushing the selector forward or pulling it rearward will shift the transmission up or down sequentially, adding to driver control. SE trim also features steering wheel-mounted paddles. A clear LCD display on the dashboard shows the tools used.

Designed for transverse engine applications in cars and SUVs, a new broadcast is part of Hyundai compact car manufacturers elite class, who designed the six-speed automatic transmission in your country. Strength of the design is a unique design that makes it smaller, more compact and lighter than a six-speed available today.

For customers, the new six-speed offers a performance advantage. In this application, help bring an increase of nine percent in fuel economy (35 mpg * compared to 32 miles per gallon). The gearbox has no meter, which is full of automatic transmission fluid is good for the life of the vehicle in normal operating conditions, thus reducing maintenance costs.

Developed over a period of four years, the new six-speed automatic transmission is 26.4 pounds lighter than the five-speed it replaces. It is also 1.6 inches shorter and much simpler, with less than 62 parts, which is a key to increased longevity, lower weight and lower costs.

When it comes to transmissions, multiple gear is much better. The addition of a sixth gear gives a closer spacing between gears providing a better balance between performance and fuel economy, while the broad overall gear ratio helps provide a strong acceleration.

The gearbox has three planetary gear sets and a single flat torque converter that reduces the total length of 0.47-inch drive. Four standard gear to improve sustainability and reduce the size.

Another example of technical ingenuity can be found in the design of the hydraulic pressure test. slight differences from the production of a single solenoid valve to the next often causes a fluctuation of hydraulic pressure to move and influence the accuracy and quality. Shipping exposed Hyundai Sonata combines cleverly side valves, which allow each of the eight valves are calibrated at the factory. This feature ensures a stable hydraulic pressure test at any time, move the box, which allows high precision and control needed to provide moving fast, fluid and precise in learning speed.

RIDE flexible management

Advanced suspension four-wheel independent combines a soft and round, with precise handling and steering response of the Hyundai Sonata GLS and Limited. Sonata uses front MacPherson struts and rear multi-link suspension with increased travel for improved wheel control and a smoother ride. All four wheels are controlled by coil springs, gas shocks fade resistant and stabilizer bars. The suspension has been optimized to keep the vehicle flat during Corning and provide quick turn-in response. The rear suspension uses aluminum components to reduce weight and improve suspension performance. GLS and Limited models also use advanced low tire rolling resistance to improve fuel economy and has good ride and handling.

Hyundai Sonata SE is even more exciting and willing partner for drivers who want to go and sportier driving dynamics. sport-tuned suspension features stiffer springs and stabilizer bars largest, where 20 percent increase in roll stiffness. Unico SE shock in the rear monotube dampers used to control the more aggressive suspension. 18-inch low profile tires will finalize a single chassis shares Hyundai Sonata SE.

All the sonatas are mounted on the column, directly driven by the electric motor that adjusts instantaneously changing driving conditions, while improving fuel economy over a conventional system. A steering quick ratio is used for crisp feel in turn. Hyundai Sonata turning circle of 35.8 feet is better than Camry, Accord, Altima, Fusion and Malibu.

CLASS LIST OF WORLD ENERGY-weight

One of his goals for 2011 the engineering team was world class Sonata ratio power / weight. Power to weight ratio of dividends in terms of performance and fuel economy.

Hyundai Sonata is rich in ultra-high strength steel, which leads to the rigidity of the body of world class. In 2011 Hyundai Sonata is 25 percent stiffer in torsion and 19 percent stiffer in bending rigidity than its predecessor, but it is easier than many midsize sedans, also offering more interior space.

This focus on the ratio power / weight pays dividends in all areas. Hyundai Sonata is its ability to offer both strong performance and excellent fuel economy for much of its impressive power to weight efficiency.

The tech safety features: PART OF HYUNDAI Insurance COMMITMENT

Hyundai Sonata is built from the ground up security in mind, a structure with hot-stamped ultra-high strength steel body, airbag technology and electronic stability control (ESC) technology, respects the commitment of Hyundai both the technological leadership of active and passive safety. The previous generation Hyundai Sonata was the first midsize sedan with standard ESC, when it was launched in March 2005. ESC is standard on the Honda Accord to the 2008 model year and 2010 model year Toyota Camry. Once again all the 2011 Sonata has ESC as standard equipment rescue. This is important because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that the results of these 35 percent fewer single vehicle crashes and 30 percent fewer single vehicle fatalities in passenger cars.

Hyundai Sonata is also a state-of-the-art braking package. The package includes four-wheel disc brakes and antilock brakes (ABS) with Brake Assist, which provides maximum braking force when a panic stop is detected, and electronic brake force distributor (EBD) automatically adjusts the front of the and rear braking force depending on load condition of the vehicle.
