Research

Regardless of your trim level selection, GLS, SE or Limited, take a Sonata from your number one Alexandria Hyundai dealership and you will be getting the safest and most economical car to date. Sonata offers EBD, TCS, TPMS, SRS, OCS, force limiters LATCH and an energy absorbing steering column. All this adds up to a Sonata that’s one of the safest cars in its class, safe enough to earn five-star front and side crash-test ratings from the NHTSA. Your safety is priceless and Hyundai Sonata has you covered.

Corrosion-Resistant Primer

The Sonata has layer after layer of protection to maintain its look and value. It starts with our opposite-electric-charge primer that actually pulls paint into hard-to-reach spots, creates a seal around the chassis, and protects it from rain, salt, and other factors that cause rust and corrosion. It pulls paint into hard-to-reach spots, followed by coats of paint using our rotational dipping process. Our primer delivers unwavering protection to keep your Sonata looking like the day you took it out of the showroom floor. The Sonata is prepared to take on the elements, and look good while doing it.

Electronic Stability Control

Every Hyundai Sonata comes standard with Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Why? Because study after study the ESC has shown that it dramatically reduces the likelihood of being involved in a crash. For the ESC it takes only a fraction of a second to detect when things are going awry. Based on how hard or how quickly you steer, a veritable army of sensors determines whether your intended path and your actual path are in sync. If ESC determines that the car is plowing, or turning less than you intended, it provides extra braking force to the rear inside wheel; if the car is fishtailing, or turning more than intended, it provides extra braking force to the front outside wheel.

Two Efficient Engines

Ah, those three special words: miles per gallon. Hyundai engineers have been hard at work on perfecting engine technology, also known as our new Theta and Lambda-class engines. It delivers 249 horsepower yet still has the best fuel efficiency among midsized V6-powered sedans: 19 miles per gallon in the city, 29 miles per gallon on the highway. The Hyundai Sonata is available with either a four-cylinder or a V6, both of which have been especially engineered to squeeze the most horsepower, torque and fuel efficiency out of every gallon. Sonata’s engine runs cleanly and efficiently most of the time, but can still serve up the thrills when you hit the gas.

16.3 Cubic Feet of Trunk Space

Even in trunk room, the Sonata shines. Sonata’s 16.3 cu. ft. of trunk space give it an eight percent advantage over the Camry, and a 16 percent advantage over Accord. Sonata’s trunk has a recessed hinge, so you don’t lose any cargo space to trunk mechanics and hardware. It also means you can pack your things without fear of damaging them. The new Sonata is equipped to handle all of your travel and storage needs. Because people have different comfort zones, the Sonata lets the driver and the passenger each choose their own individual settings.

XM Satellite Radio

The Hyundai Sonata comes with standard XM Satellite Radio plus a three-month subscription to get you started. The Sonata’s system also integrates the Sonata’s audio controls and displays, including CD tracks and AM/FM/XM radio channels. To use your iPod, just connect it to the input jack using the available Hyundai iPod cable and press play. And, while you’re parked, you can even watch DVDs on the screen.
