I recently saw a very interesting topic, that is, which car do you think can be called a poor man's happy car? I see a lot of netizens commenting on the models below, most of them are domestic cars, under a closer look, most of them are also compact cars, I can feel that netizens are very dead in price, performance, even dare not ask for more. This makes me feel that although everyone has a luxury car dream in their hearts, when it is really their turn, they still have to think pragmatically. However, I recently found a mid-size sedan of a Sino-foreign joint venture brand, and this car has a very high reputation in the past, and the market ownership is also very high. And this car was launched in March, so the price can be said to be very reasonable, and there is still a lot of activity at the moment. This car is Hyundai's Sonata!
Hyundai Sonata has a history of 20 years since it entered China in 2004, and these 20 years are not long, but not short, that is, a child who has fallen to the ground has become an energetic youth. In the past 20 years, Sonata can be said to have fallen from the peak to the trough, and the changes in the automobile market in the past 20 years have been too great, resulting in many brands like Hyundai Sonata from the original high reputation and high sales, to become obscure.
Compared with the previous 2022 model, Hyundai has made great efforts in the front position, designing the original large-size middle grid grille into a shape with a futuristic sense of warship, and the overall design is a sense of science fiction, with sharp edges and corners, and full of personality. It also features a sleek through-type daytime running light cluster, which is spliced together with the headlight cluster and turn signal cluster to form this very unique 11th-generation Sonata. I think just looking at the front of this car can already make many young consumers shine, and the appearance of this car has given us a reason to buy it.
In recent years, Hyundai's sedan styling is moving closer to the coupe style, and now it is almost possible to call these models coupe, especially this Sonata, from the side, the body lines are completely designed according to the coupe model, and the tail is also designed into a fastback style, and with a very strong sense of waistline, as well as the bright red brake calipers inside, all of which make this car temperament rise to a very high position.
The rear of this car, like the front of the car, incorporates a lot of unique elements, and each point can be singled out and talked about in detail. First of all, let's take a look at the taillights of this car, which are very fashionable in shape, with an H-shaped through-type design, and the turn signals on the left and right sides use a pixel-style dot matrix design. The interface of the trunk door and the ducktail above form a symmetrical design, connecting like lips and eyes. Finally, there is the exhaust of this car's bilateral double outlets with a total of four outlets, which will make the rear of this car more layered and have a very strong sense of dynamics.
The interior of the 11th-generation Sonata adopts the main tone of the digital intelligent cockpit, and through the pictures, we can feel that the overall layout of this car is closer to the driving position, which can also facilitate the driver to operate more conveniently and safely during driving.
Through the picture, we can see that this car uses the current mainstream dual-screen design, and the size of both screens is 12.3 inches. However, one thing that needs to be added here is that the low-profile version of this car does not have a full LCD instrument panel, and is only equipped with a small 4.2-inch LCD instrument, so it will be 10,000 yuan worse in terms of price. In addition, the steering wheel material of this car is very conscientious, the whole system is equipped with leather fabrics as standard, and the official professional term is called multi-functional Morse code leather steering wheel, just hearing this name, you can really feel unusual. In addition to the conscientious materials used in the steering wheel, I think this car is also conscientious in terms of seats, except for the seats in the bottom version, which do not have any function, other models are equipped with a heating function, and some models with higher configurations will add an additional ventilation function. In addition, some of the high-end versions of this car will also have a second-row seat heating function, which can provide us with the highest riding experience.
Finally, the highlight of our game is the performance aspect of this car. As we mentioned earlier, the exterior styling of this car has been very attractive, but the performance aspect of this car is superb. First of all, the 11th-generation Sonata will be divided into 1.5-litre turbocharged and 2.5-litre turbocharged, with two versions of the model making 170 hp and 250 hp respectively, and the drive mode is front-wheel drive, and the car's transmission is equipped with an eight-speed automatic manual as standard. The cruise function is also readily available, except for the low-end version, which uses the most common cruise control, and the other versions are all full-speed adaptive cruise.
Because this car has just been launched in March, you can't expect the price of this car to be reduced, and now the price of this new car is from 139,800 yuan to 186,800 yuan.
