As the former mid-level model sales king, Sonata has also created many legends, but now the Sonata on the market can be said to be mixed up with a day.
In recent years, when buying cars, Chinese people like models with large space, small cars on the market are almost facing a situation of elimination, like compact cars and intermediate cars, the heat in the market can be said to be getting higher and higher, of course, which car is hot and the origin of the brand and quality is also linked, from the current market point of view, German and Japanese models are more beautiful, while Korean and American cars, but has been downhill.
As the main korean mid-level model, Sonata in the market in previous years is also very beautiful, when Sonata is fully capable of breaking the wrist with Passat, but in the current market, even if the Threshold of Sonata continues to decrease, sales are still very dismal, this is still a pity, to know that the current Sonata cost performance is still good, as a high-value intermediate car, Sonata has now fallen to about 150,000, but even with such a great sincerity, it still has not been able to impress the People.
The new Sonata also sold only 69 vehicles last month, almost facing the situation of suspension of production, a generation of classic intermediate god car lonely to the current embarrassing position, or because in recent years, the influence of the Korean brand has been decreasing, Hyundai and Kia have not come up with a model that makes consumers stunning, even if its models are greatly reduced, no one is willing to pay for it.
In fact, from the perspective of the appearance of the whole car, the new Sonata design is still relatively exaggerated, which also leads to two completely different views on the appearance of this car, one is very sporty, one is relatively ugly, of course, it is still biased towards the latter a little more, otherwise the whole car will not sell so dismal, the entire front face polygon grille of the new car is very sharp, and the sneakback design makes its sense of sight relatively low, while the two sides of the new car are integrated into the daytime running lights of chrome trim, and the recognition is still good.
In terms of space, the body length, width and height of the new car are 4955×1860×1445, and the wheelbase of the body has reached 2890mm, and the space ride is still quite generous. Before the old Sonata in the interior style design has been complained about by consumers, and the new generation of models have obviously made a good change, the central control of the new car using a large number of soft materials for wrapping, double 12.3-inch screen design and button-type gear shift mechanism, so that the sense of technology is also improved, and now compared with many mainstream mid-level cars, this time Sonata interior is not left behind.
In terms of power performance, the new car is equipped with two power combinations of 1.5T+7DCT and 2.0T+8AT, of which the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 170 horsepower and a peak torque of 253 Nm. The maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 240 horsepower, and the peak torque is 353 Nm, although from the data point of view, the whole vehicle still has a good outbreak, but for the 1.5T engine, many consumers are still not satisfied.
As a classic intermediate sedan, Sonata also has more than 10 years of development history in the domestic market, from tens of thousands of people to now monthly sales of less than one million sales, but also proves the loneliness of Hyundai this car company, indeed now the polarization of the car brand situation is still relatively serious, Korean and American cars rely solely on price reductions to win the attention of consumers, obviously it has not worked, so Hyundai wants to turn over, but also have to come up with a stronger hard-core model.
