Not content just to be the cheaper mid-size sedan on the market, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, which debuted in Korea this morning, appears to be another vehicle from Hyundai ready to try and compete on more than just price.
Though not quite as ridiculous as the awesome renderings, the Sonata is still one giant leap for Korean-kind over the current generation's attempt to be completely indiscernible from every other car in the market. The new interior, as well, appears to have skipped forward a few years over the current bland styling.
The KDM version, pictured, will feature a diesel engine not coming anywhere near the U.S. market. Our version will start with the 2.4-liter Theta II GDI engine, which should offer more power, around 200 HP, and better fuel economy than the current generation. A V6 will surely be a part of the package when the Sonata drops in the U.S. next year.
In addition to the new powerplant and revised aesthetic is a host of new or upgraded features, including Vehicle Dynamic Control, Hill-Start Assist Control, rear heated seats, and a host of other goodies. Prices in Korea will range from $17,600 to $21,450 USD.
