Yes, Hyundai continues to step up its game. So far this year, Hyundai, Kia and Subaru are the only three brands who sales are up this year in a down market. The all-new 2011 Sonata, which is featured above, is expected to arrive at dealerships in January. From a pricing stand point, this stylish looking sedan will go head-to-head with Toyota's popular Camry, Nissan's Altima and Chevy's Malibu, starting out at around $20,000. While the new Sonata is priced like a non premium luxury vehicle, the upscale design takes styling cues from the Mercedes C-Class, the Lexus ES and the Volkswagen CC.
According to Hyundai officials, the 2011 Sonata will be powered by a new 2.4-liter, direct-injection engine, mated to a 6-speed manual (or optional automatic) transmission, while its competitors will offer both a 4-cylinder and a 6-cylinder. Horsepower will range from 190 to 200, depending on trim. At this time, a six-cylinder engine will not be offered. However, Hyundai does have plans on offering a hybrid version of this vehicle in the near future.
