2011 Hyundai Sonata arrives at L.A. show
Hyundai took the wraps off its new 2011 Sonata yesterday at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The North American intro of the sixth generation midsize sedan introduces the automaker’s new “Fluidic Sculpture” design language and an all-new, only four-cylinder, engine lineup.
The Sonata will debut early in 2010 with Hyundai’s new Theta II GDI 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with Gasoline Direct-Injection (GDI). It’s the first midsize sedan to adopt GDI technology as standard equipment in a naturally aspirated powertrain. Horsepower and torque will be 198 and 184 lb-ft, while delivering “class-leading” fuel economy.
Later in 2010, a 2.0-litre Theta II turbocharged GDI four-cylinder engine will be added and a 2.4-litre Hybrid Blue Drive model using a lithium polymer battery pack. Details will be announced at the 2010 New York Auto Show.
Production on the new Sonata begins at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama this month. It’s new Fluidic Sculpture design language took about three and half years to develop and will ripple through the entire Hyundai showroom.
As before, the Sonata is classified as a large car by the U.S.’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), putting in above the Camry, Altima, Fusion and Malibu.
Six airbags are standard, while available high-tech features include XM Satellite Radio, real-time XM NavTraffic, Bluetooth, touch-screen navigation and iPod/USB inputs.

Most modern North American, Japanese, Australian and many larger, high specification German cars have an automatic transmission that will select an appropriate gear ratio without any operator intervention. They primarily use hydraulics to select gears, depending on pressure exerted by fluid within the transmission assembly.
