In fact, in terms of time, the time node for the introduction of Korean car brands into the Chinese market is very early, and both Hyundai Motor and Kia brands have very capable models in the Chinese market, especially Beijing Hyundai, as of the end of 2023, has mass-produced the 12 million cars since the joint venture, which is a very proud achievement. However, Beijing Hyundai is facing an unprecedented test, especially in the past two years, the decline in sales has been very serious, and new models are indeed needed to stabilize the situation.
This time is already the 11th generation of the Sonata model, as a classic global mid-size B-class sedan, once Sonata was also all the rage in the Chinese market, the size of the space performance is very mainstream, after this generation, the size positioning is still a medium-sized B-class car, the total length of the body is 4945mm, the width of 1860mm, the wheelbase has not been greatly elongated, or maintained at 2875mm, if compared with Honda Accord or Volkswagen Magotan , the rear space of this car is quite able to play.
The previous 10th-generation Sonata model failed to sell well in the Chinese market, and one of the important reasons may be that the exterior design is not pleasing, because the 10th generation adopts a more exaggerated and radical design language, especially the front face adopts a style similar to a catfish's big mouth, which directly dissuades many older consumers. This time, the 11th-generation model looks more pleasing to the eye, with a large polygonal air intake grille at the front of the car and a popular daytime running light strip this year.
The side of the body is still a relatively smooth sports coupe style, the tail is also through the lights, extending to the sides and forming an effect similar to Thor's hammer, of which the N-line version provides a relatively rich sports decoration package, such as the original modified style of four exhaust outlets, black small tail wing decoration, red brake calipers, etc., these things can also meet the individual needs of young people.
The changes in the car are relatively large,After all, it is now the era of new energy,Especially in the Chinese automobile consumer market, it has to create a sense of science and technology on the screen,The new generation of Sonata directly provides the mainstream through the dual large screen configuration,If compared with the new generation of Honda Accord or Camry,Such a screen layout will be more popular with young people。 However, the air conditioning control area still retains the traditional mechanical knobs, and does not integrate all control functions into the screen.
It is worth mentioning that the powertrain configuration has finally begun to meet the demands of many consumers, such as the previous 1.5T version is matched with a dual-clutch gearbox, and the 2.0T version is matched with 8at. However, the new generation of Sonata is indiscriminately equipped with an 8AT gearbox, and the overall reliability is significantly improved, and the 1.5T output power is 170 horsepower, and the 2.0T version continues to be upgraded to 250 horsepower, and the power performance even exceeds the Cadillac 237 horsepower engine.
