Hyundai is serious. With the new Sonata, the company is targeting the midsize car segment and is a good alternative to Japanese competitors. The fourth-generation Sonata is built on a completely new platform with the first Hyundai aluminum I4 engines. The car became even bigger - 50 mm longer and taller, and 25 wider than the previous generation. Standard equipment - ABS, electronic stability control, traction control systems, six airbags (driver / front passenger and side curtain airbags). According to NHTSA, the new Sonata is rated five stars in the event of a frontal collision. Inside, the Sonata offers more space than competitors Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, but is cheaper. This and the long-term warranty of the Sonata make it one of the most attractive choices in its class. The next-generation Sonata in Europe will be called the i40 under the new Hyundai naming system.
