Have you ever wondered
* Why can't a smart, solid sedan also have modern, sleek, sophisticated style?
* Why can't an efficient four-cylinder engine give V6 power?
* Why pay so much to get a taste of luxury?
With the all-new, sixth generation 2011 Hyundai Sonata, now available at Conicelli Hyundai, the answers are clear! Sonata offers the sleek, sophisticated Fluidic Sculpture design developed by Hyundai, plenty of power in its new Theta II 2.4-liter gasoline direct injection
(GDI) engine and in-house six-speed automatic transmission, and the luxurious comfort of a spacious interior. In fact, it is so spacious, Sonata continues to be classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Large car.

A MODERN APPROACH TO STYLE PLUS EFFICIENCY
Sonata is the second vehicle in Hyundai's "24/7 version 2.0 product initiative" (seven new models in the next 24 months) following the debut of the
all-new Tucson.
The 2011 Sonata represents a modern approach to the traditional mid-size sedan segment by using only advanced four-cylinder engines, emotional design and luxury features together with Hyundai's strong warranty and the Hyundai Assurance Program*.
The new Sonata exemplifies Hyundai's commitment to improving fuel efficiency and reducing emission. The new Theta II GDI 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a Gasoline Direct-Injection (GDI) fuel delivery system contributes to improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Sonata is the first midsize sedan to adopt GDI technology as standard equipment in a naturally aspirated powertain. This shorter, more direct path of fuel delivery, allows for greater control of the fuel mixture, thus improving efficiency. The fuel is injected by a camshaft-driven, high pressure pump. Direct injection means increased power by means of a higher than normal 11.3:1 compression ratio. The pistons are "dished" to increase combustion efficiency in the cylinder. The result is best-in-class fuel economy, best-in-class four-cylinder horsepower and best-in-class torque.
The gearbox has no dipstick, because it is filled with automatic transmission fluid that is good for the life of the vehicle under normal usage conditions, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
FUEL ECONOMY
Sonata delivers an impressive 22 mpg city/35 mpg highway fuel economy rating with the available six-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC®. (When equipped with the six-speed manual, the Sonata achieves 24 mpg city/35 mpg highway fuel economy rating). The preliminary horsepower and torque ratings for the Theta II GDI are 198 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. In the SE trim which includes a standard dual exhaust, the engine delivers 200 horsepower. This high-tech, all-aluminum, 16-valve engine features Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (DCVVT) and a Variable Induction System (VIS) for better engine breathing. A version of this engine also meets Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) standards.
The Sonata delivers both strong performance and excellent fuel economy, largely due to its impressive power-to-weight efficiency.
