The New Sonata - Now Even More Powerful

The New Sonata - Now Even More Powerful

Date: 2013-06-27
The new 2,4 litre Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine in the Hyundai Sonata 2.4 GDI Elite automatic not only raises the maximum power output substantially from 131 kW to 148 kW, but also forms a smooth and fuel-efficient drivetrain match with the automatic six-speed gearbox.

With a fresh new grille, front bumper, headlights and fog lights added on the front, new wheels and exterior side-mirrors and reworked rear lights, the Sonata proudly retains its place as the flagship sedan of Hyundai Automotive SA's passenger car range in South Africa. Several product enhancements - among others a new sound system with a touch-screen display in the centre console - have been added in the interior of the new Sonata 2.4 GDI Elite.

"The Sonata was already a very elegant, well-designed sedan that was the choice of many buyers who were looking for a modern premium motoring package at a very competitive price. The new engine and subtle changes to its exterior looks, coupled with the changes on the extensive list of specifications, has enhanced this excellent offer of Hyundai in South Africa even more. It is important to note that this new Sonata is not a facelift - the designers has merely added some very sensible 'product enhancements' on the exterior as well as the interior," says Stanley Anderson, marketing director of Hyundai Automotive South Africa.
