WHY THE HYUNDAI SONATA OVER THE COMPETITION
|
 |
BRAKE ASSIST
When it comes to safety, the Hyundai has you covered. An advantage over the Ford Fusion I4S, the Sonata has Brake Assist. Statistics show that drivers often don’t brake quite hard enough, even in emergencies. In which case, Brake Assist adds that extra bit of stopping power, which can help bring your car to a stop up to 20% faster than without it. |

HEATED EXTERIOR MIRRORS
For those cold winter mornings when you don’t even want to get out of bed, let alone drive to the office, the Sonata’s dual power heated side mirrors take the frost out of defrosting, something the Nissan Altima 2.5 S doesn't offer. Step inside and the heated front and rear seats and dual automatic temperature control will take the chill off of any morning. |

MORE ROOM TO MOVE
With a total interior volume more than the Toyota Camry, the Sonata offers more head room. More leg room in the front. More overall passenger volume. It even has more cargo space in the trunk, thanks to specially designed recessed hinges. And the surprisingly equal and opposite result? A car that looks sleek and dynamic on the outside. |

HANDS-FREE PHONE SYSTEM
Thanks to the Sonata’s standard Bluetooth® technology, your hands can stay where they belong: on the wheel, something that is only optional on the Chevrolet Malibu. It can also transfer your phone contacts for you as well. |

BETTER DRIVING THROUGH BIOMECHANICS
The center stack — the area that contains temperature and audio controls, vents and storage — is organized according to how it will most likely be used. The stereo sits up high, so checking the display means taking your eyes off the road for no more than a fraction of a second. Audio controls are also on the steering wheel, so the driver doesn’t have to reach over to change the station. And the dual-zone climate controls are big and bold, easy to reach and easy to use — good news for first-time passengers.
POWER WITHOUT GUILT
The 2.4-liter four-cylinder, which proves that engines don’t have to be massive in order to pack a punch — with up to 200 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque, to be exact. But, seeing as we live in a world of skyrocketing fuel costs, Hyundai engineers had enough forethought to make sure the Sonata’s fuel efficiency gets up to 35 MPG.
