 “The all-new Sonata powered by our GDi engine offers best-in-class features. Competitively priced the Sonata offers a stylish new choice to the premium customer,” B.S. Seo, Managing Director and CEO, HMIL said.

The new Sonata is one of the most awarded cars. In the USA it recently received the ‘2012 IIHS Top Safety Pick’ Award. In 2011 it was feted with prestigious awards like the NHTSA’s ‘5-star crash test rating’, ‘Best Car to Buy 2011’ and the ‘International Car of the Year’ (ICOTY) awards. It was also the leading car in its segment in Strategic Vision’s 2011 Total Quality Index.                                                    

Like HMIL’s recent cars, the Sonata too is crafted on the design philosophy of ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ where contrasting surfaces create a sense of constant motion. This sixth generation Sonata has interesting features like front and rear seat ventilation, front seat warmers, high intensity Xenon head lamps, cruise control, paddle shift, 10-way adjustable power seat with lumbar support and a 4-way power adjustable front co-driver seat.

The new Sonata is high on safety and is equipped with 6 airbags, electronic stability program (ESP) with traction control system (TCS), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), rear-view camera and smart key with push button start apart from a host of features that enhances the driving experience like the VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) cluster and a X-shaped centre fascia. The super-efficient 2.4-litre GDi petrol engine is mated to 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions. GDi technology results in enhanced performance and fuel efficiency as the high pressure fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber. The engineering excellence is extended to the suspensions by way of having hi-tech ASD (Amplitude Selective Damper) resulting in improved driving comfort.
