All-New Hyundai Sonata now Available
The Philippines now have the all -new Sonata. As expected the mid-size luxury sedan is priced competitively with the likes of Camry, Accord and Mazda 6.The base Sonata Theta II GLS 2.4 6AT model is priced at 1,368,000 and 1,588,000 for the Sonata Theta II GLS 2.4 6AT premium variant.
VIDEO: 2010 SANTA FE
To all the Santa Fe owners , owners to be, or dreamers, here is official advert of the 2010 facelift, just in case you haven't seen.
Unexpectedly Extreme: Hyundai Sonata YF Officially Unveiled in Korea
The New Sonata is priced at 21.3 million Won ($17658 or Php 842,322.99) to 25.95 million Won ($21,514 or Php 1,026,210). Pretty cheap for the size and specs I must say.
The engine is a 2.0 liter Theta II developed from the Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA). These engines are basically 1.6, 2.0, and 2.4 liter versions found in most Chrysler cars, the current Mitsubishi Lancer, and Kia Cars.
While GEMA engines are same, configurations in engine tweaking and of course, transmission modfications make the Sonata stand out with a best in class peak torque of 198Nm at at 4600 rpm. The transimission, notably is also the best in its class with 6 speed automatic.
Hyundai says that another enigne varaint--a 2.4 liter version will be unviled in January with direct injection when it hits the US , and beleieve it's a "Hyundai Genesis" shock again--although this time with the Sonata.
Hyundai's new design evident in the Sonata is what it calls' fludic sculpture" While the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Mazda 6 slug it out on the mid size sedan market, the Sonata's avant garde design tells me that wants to match Mazda 6.
Foglamps, Airbags, ABS, EBD and Vehicle Dynamic Control (...i can continue with more standard features )comes standard with the New Sonata. Another feature, which is only available in South Korea is a Mozen Telematics, which basically is a BMW Connected drive-- that enables the driver to get connected on high speed Internet and anti-theft tracking.
The good news: Most Hyundais that are sold elsewhere are and will also be sold here in the Philippines.
The bad news: I can't wait.
All New 2011 Hyundai Sonata (aka the future Camry killer) Leaked Images here. 1st !
Official sketches of the new Hyundai Sonata has been released by the Korean company and the car is expected to make its official debut in Korea on the 10th of September.
We beg Hyundai Asia Resources (HARI) to bring this here on time.. just like what they did with their iseries and all the rest of the pack.
I personally like the car as it looks like The Genesis but less of the ultra luxuious feel. This car I must say will surely give the Camry a headache. It can be Accord vs Sonata should this car make it on time here.
So okay, these are just sketches and its easy to make a sketch look good. There are actually some photos leaked of the Sonata in the metal that have made their way out onto the internet. Look after the jump for how the actual car looks like.
