The 2011 Sonata is a smart combination of superior styling, performance, safety and fuel efficiency (The 2011 Sonata has been awarded an overall five-star crash test rating by the US-based National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - NHSTA).

The Hyundai Sonata gains all new styling, new engines, and a thorough re-working nose to tail for the latest model year. Upon introduction, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Manual is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 198-horsepower engine that achieves 24-mpg in the city and 35-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. The Hybrid is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 166-horsepower, hybrid engine that achieves 35-mpg in the city and 40-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.

Hyundai is especially proud of the trio of audio systems tailored to the all-new Sonata. GLS and SE models get an AM/FM/CD player with six speakers and XM capability, but they will offer a Dimension-branded premium system with a touch-screen navigation. Limited models come standard with the Dimension audio system and a CD changer but offer a 400-watt Infinity audio system.
