Hyundai Sonata Second Innings to start on March 21

Hyundai Sonata presence in India has been generous during the first phase and it is expected to be even more than that which is to begin on March 21 when it will be launched in India. There are many reasons to support this assumption. Styling is one of the most important ones. If you need looks and looks that are not only stunning but appealing too, then the Sonata is the car for you. Inspired by the latest design pattern of Hyundai which is the Fluidic design, the Sonata is even a step ahead than the Hyundai Verna Fluidic. Apart from this the large dimensions of Sonata also ensures its presence on the road while moving.

Design elements such as chrome grille at the front and the fluidic inspired swept back type all conjure to pose an even amazingly good appearance to the Sonata. The side styling of the Sonata translated the Fluidic design even better. Be it parked but the Sonata looks moving from the sides due to the fluidic lines on it. It looks as if the car is flowing like a fluid. The rear is where the Hyundai design engineers have spent much time in designing. LED tail lights coupled with the overall stature looks amazing.

The Sonata interior too has much to offer. There is room for the head, elbow and specially the legs. Four six footer can feel themselves at ease inside the car. The seats too seem to have extra cushioning that is characteristic of the premium class sedans. The central arm rest at the rear is also amazing as it has the total control of the music system, so it is not like the monopoly of the front passengers to shuffles numbers on the music system. Even the rear passengers can also select and play their favorite song. The rear seats are also cooled while the front seats have the option of being cooled and heated. Additionally, the driver seat is adjustable in ten ways so that there is the perfect tireless driving position. There is also a memory function mode and if you have four people in house using the new Sonata, they just need to just click a button and the seat will be adjusted as per programmed.

Hyundai seems to have used considerably good quality plastics inside the Sonata. Besides looks and interior comfort, the Sonata is also high on safety as well with six airbags, ABS, ESP and active headrests etc. However, availability in petrol only model initially will be a negative for the car. . A 2.4 L, 198 bhp engine is expected to power the new Sonata.
