On March 26, Beijing Hyundai's 11th-generation Sonata was officially launched, with a total of six models and prices ranging from 139,800 to 186,800 yuan. At the same time, the new car has also launched a car purchase policy, which can be referred to in the figure below. As a classic model, this generation has also been greatly upgraded, and we might as well pay attention to the specifics.
In terms of appearance, the 11th-generation Sonata adopts the unified design of the global ONE MODEL and is inspired by starships, which has a strong visual impact. In the front face part, the through-type lamp group with a word design appears simple and sharp, the headlight group below is combined with the diversion grooves on both sides to form a hidden effect, and the grille part presents a net-like concave structure, which is visually fierce.
The side part of the car has a fastback shape, which has a strong sense of sportiness, and the clear waistline also further strengthens the sense of power on the side. The tail features are also more prominent, with a matrix structure inside the taillight cluster, a slightly exaggerated ducktail that enhances the dynamic atmosphere, and the N Line version's bilateral quad exhaust gives people a sense of déjà vu that is not easy to mess with.
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the 11th-generation Sonata are 4945/1860/1445 (1450) mm, and the wheelbase is 2875 mm.
The interior layout is neat, and the style echoes the sharp style of the exterior, with the through-air vent design of the center console elongating the horizontal visual width, and the dual 12.3-inch curved display combination emphasizes the sense of technology. Inside, there is also a rotating electronic pocket gear, a multi-function Morse coded leather steering wheel, and a red trim strip on the N Line model to further emphasise the sporty attributes.
In terms of intelligence, the 11th-generation Sonata's in-vehicle system supports fingerprint recognition, identity recognition, digital key, seat memory, OTA upgrade, CarPlay/Carlife and other functions, and in terms of assisted driving, it is equipped with Hyundai Smartsense intelligent safety system, which supports core ADAS, RSPA remote intelligent parking assist, PCA-R rear parking collision avoidance assist, PDW front/side/rear parking distance warning, and ISLA Intelligent speed limit assist and other functions.
In terms of power, the 11th-generation Sonata offers 1.5T and 2.0T power options, the former with a maximum power of 125kW and a maximum torque of 253Nm, mated to an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and the latter with a maximum power of 184kW and a maximum torque of 353Nm, also matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
Comments
On the whole, the product strength of Beijing Hyundai's eleventh generation Sonata is good, and the design reflects the heritage of this global model, the appearance style of the starship is indeed very eye-catching, and the interior also has a certain sense of design, which will not be like some models nowadays like the "face and simple style". In terms of intelligence, the new car has also been upgraded, including the vehicle machine system and intelligent driving have reached the mainstream level. In terms of power, the fuel route is continued, and the biggest advantage is that it is mature and stable, and there is no need to consider the problem of range anxiety. Of course, the core part is the price, the starting price of 139,800 is indeed unexpected by many people, I thought that no matter how cheap it is, it will have to be sold at 159,800, and such a price refers to its overall product strength, and I personally think that its market prospects are more optimistic.
