2011 New Hyundai Sonata SE Review
The 2011 Sonata Hyundai is about an inch best than the antecedent model, with a wheelbase amplitude of 2.6 inches. The balloon brings the auto up to the EPA’s large-car classification, alongside the Honda Accord. But weight is kept in analysis through the all-encompassing use of high-strength steel, benign because the Sonata won’t accept the V-6 advantage that its competitors action but advertise in almost low numbers. The sole agent for now in all three trims (GLS, SE, and Limited) is a direct-injection 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 198 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Our SE analysis model’s accepted bifold bankrupt added 2 hp and 2 lb-ft, bringing the totals to 200 hp and 186 lb-ft. A Hyundai-designed six-speed automated is offered beyond the range, with the abject GLS accepting a accepted six-speed manual. An alternative direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo-four will allay the ability athirst back it launches after in the year, at which time a gas-electric amalgam will additionally be alien as a range-topping model.
Weighing in at a tidy 3340 pounds, the SE hustled to 60 mph in 7.8 abnormal and through the quarter-mile in 16.1 at 89 mph. No annal were broken, but the times are aural a few ticks of the quickest four-cylinder players in the class, the Accord and the Nissan Altima. Our adventurous SE model’s skidpad anchor of 0.84 g is amid the best in the segment, too, but its 181-foot endlessly achievement from 70 mph is alone so-so.
