In the domestic market, the Hyundai Sonata is one of the most popular foreign cars in its class. Thanks to its excellent speed characteristics and comfortable interior, it quickly conquered the world market. Since 2002, the Korean concern began to produce the 5th generation Hyundai Sonata sedan. In 2005, production was curtailed. But in Russia the car continued to be produced. It is still being manufactured at the Taganrog TagAZ, so that anyone can purchase this car without duties and customs clearance. And we will devote today's review to this particular sedan, which does not lose its popularity even in our time.
Exterior
The appearance of the sedan made a double impression on motorists. On the one hand, unusual shapes and lines of the body give the car an aristocracy. But on the other hand, in the design of the novelty, you can easily see the features of many famous European models. The front of the Hyundai Sonata is decorated with double headlights of the main light, between which there is a spectacular radiator grille. The impact bumper has aerodynamic shapes, which are especially noticeable on the sides, where small spoilers are placed withintegrated foglights. At the rear, the car does not have any fascinating details, but wide protective moldings adorn the side of the car. By the way, in addition to the decorative function, they also protect the vehicle from minor bumps and scratches, which is especially important for large cities and metropolitan areas. Agree, it's cheaper to buy a piece of a new molding than to purchase a complete door.
What's inside?
The interior of the 2013 Hyundai Sonata is reminiscent of the interior of a typical city car from the early 2000s, with multiple comfort features mixed with gaudy materials. The 4-spoke steering wheel is height adjustable and, by the way, it can be trimmed with leather at the request of the client. The instrument panel is clean and concise, without unnecessary "bells and whistles". The torpedo looks a bit outdated, and due to poor finishing materials, you have to be very careful with the interior, because when exposed to the slightest impact, the surface of the plastic made “under the tree” begins to scratch, and in the worst case, it bursts completely.
Specifications
The buyer will have to make a choice between two petrol units. It can be a four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 137 "horses". The working volume of such a motor is 1999 cubic centimeters. You can also choose a six-cylinder unit. With a volume of 2700 cubic centimeters, it develops a power of 172 horsepower. Both engines are equipped with a 4-band "automatic" or "mechanics" in 5 steps. Thanks to such powerful motors,the car is able to reach a hundred in less than 10 seconds, and the peak speed is about two hundred kilometers per hour.
Cost
The starting price for the Hyundai Sonata sedan, assembled at TagAZ, is about 560 thousand rubles. The most expensive modification with a 172-horsepower engine and automatic transmission will cost buyers 745 thousand rubles.
