Hyundai Sonata  Generations

Hyundai Sonata
For each major redesign, a vehicle is said to begin a new "generation."

The Hyundai Sonata is a four-door, five-passenger sedan, powered by a 175-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder, with the choice of a five-speed manual or a Shiftronic five-speed automatic transmission. A more powerful 249-hp 3.3-liter V6 mated to a Shiftronic five-speed automatic transmission is also available. Safety features on all Sonatas include the mandatory dual-stage front-seat airbags, front-seat side-impact airbags for torso protection, and full-coverage side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake assist, and electronic stability control with traction control.
