Hyundai Sonata - the length of the seventh generation has increased by 35 mm and now reaches 4,855 mm. In addition, the four-door has also increased in width - 1,865 mm (+30 mm). Wheelbase added 10 mm.
Despite the fact that McPherson struts are still used structurally in the front suspension, and an independent multi-link in the rear, the chassis geometry has been redesigned. Thanks to the new double lower control arms at the rear, the sedan has better distribution of lateral forces, which has improved both handling and directional stability. A considerable merit in this belongs to the new electric amplifier with the ability to adjust the degree of effort.
The percentage of high-strength steel in the body structure increased from 21% to 51%, due to which the rigidity of the latter increased by 41%.
The four-door got an additional airbag for the driver's knees. In addition, for older versions of the model, adaptive headlights have become available that automatically switch the light from high to low, blind spot monitoring systems, as well as adaptive cruise control, which, if there is a threat of a frontal collision, can slow down the car to a complete stop.
New features include a new color multimedia system with an 8-inch display and an automatic boot lid opening function. It is enough to stand next to the cargo compartment for three seconds and the electronic key will send a signal to open it.
But the Koreans decided not to change the list of power plants. Buyers, as before, will be able to choose between 2 and 2.4-liter gasoline aspirated, which can be aggregated with both a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic.
Issued on factory in South Korea.
