As compare to its rivals, it is cheap to buy and very easy to live with.

Its engines, especially the diesel ones are the most efficient ones in the whole range.

Good engines are there to support this saloon

Sonata has good petrol engines and frugal diesel engines. The right pick of the day is a 3.3litre V6 petrol engine.

Exterior is great with spacious interior

Hyundai Sonata offers great exterior. It has sleek appearance with outstanding simple designing. Its aero dynamic view is of great style. Front grille is short in size but reasonable. Front bumper with front lights is good looking as well.

Front bonnet is impressive in size. Roof line is quiet good and tail is great with smart ending notes. Sides are good in size and plain in appearance. Low frame structure offers great appearance just like Toyota Crown Saloon. Low gravity frame means very good grip and good looking appearance.

Interior is big and wide. Dashboard is fitted with great masterly hands. Interior offers luxurious touch but some rivals are with up market features and interior designing. The Hyundai Sonata though aged a little bit but gives very tough competition to all new arrivals in the same class. Sitting arrangement is great. Good leg and head room is there in the cabin. Steering wheel is at good position with precise handling and perfect control.
