2015 Hyundai Sonata: Playing It Safe

2015 Hyundai Sonata: Playing It Safe - A couple of weeks prior, Hyundai teased us with a rendering and some scanty insights about its all-new 2015 Sonata. At that point we gave a snappy take a gander at an un-covered model as it sat in a Korean creation office. Presently we can fill in the vast majority of whatever is left of the spaces after the authority uncovering of the auto at an occasion in Hyundai's home market of Korea.

2015 Hyundai Sonata: Playing It Safe Fluidic Sculpture 2.0, Now With Less Fluid

Initially, on the off chance that you were trusting that Hyundai's head-turning, swoopy plans would proceed truth be told, they have been gigantically powerful in getting Hyundais recognized in the last few years—you'll be baffled. This is the second generation Hyundai, after the new Genesis extravagance car, to wear the organization's new Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 outline dialect, and now we can say with sureness that Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 has a great deal less "liquid." While we're told that there will be a few progressions to sashes front and back for the American market, the greater part of what you see here is the thing that we'll get when the auto makes its U.s. debut a couple of weeks from now at the 2014 New York car expo. The face is a nice looking, if more unremarkable, game plan of polygonal lights and grille shapes, with the de rigueur portion of LED daytime running lights lining the inward and upper edges. The bodysides give some coherence from the 2014 Hyundai Sonata,  the including a chrome component joining the headlamps and the side windows, an angling fastback roofline, and a subtler (yet exhibit) upward swoosh in the entryways. A scene top alternative proceeds with, while out back, the tall, square back deck contains higher-set taillamps formed like, well, they don't generally have a shape.

In its home market, the new Sonata is 1.4 inches longer and 1.2 inches more extensive than the cordial auto, and rides on a 0.4-inch longer wheelbase. Its new body brags torsional and curving solidness builds of 41 and 35 percent, as indicated by Hyundai, and 51 percent of its steel is of the progressed high-quality mixture. Hyundai says the new Sonata will be more secure than any other time, as well, on account of the stiffer body and new driver knee airbags and a group of electronic wellbeing frameworks, including blind side identification, path flight cautioning, radar voyage control, and programmed high pillars.

Rakish Interior

Inside, the Sonata has surrendered its symmetrical dashboard plan for a more driver-centered configuration, packed with hexagons and trapezoids and heaps of catches. Hyundai says it gave careful consideration to things like directing wheel edge thickness, the clarity of a focal driver-data show between the round essential instruments, switchgear feel, and chiseling the front seatbacks for included back knee room. While the U.s. peculiarities rundown isn't yet accessible, expect comforts, for example, an eight-inch touch-screen infotainment framework, warmed and cooled front seats, warmed back seats, back window blinds, and a "Savvy Trunk" capacity which opens the storage compartment consequently in the wake of remaining beside it for more than three seconds—to make it on the choices list.

Under the Skin: Same Old Tune

While the U.s.-model motor system is formally TBA, Hyundai did list three home-showcase motors, the most compelling of which is the 190-hp, commonly suctioned 2.4-liter that at present serves as the base Sonata's motor here. We completely expect that the 2.0-liter turbo and crossover powertrains will be offered here in the long run, if not quickly after dispatch. A six-velocity programmed is liable to be the main transmission we get here from the beginning, at any rate with the commonly suctioned model, despite the fact that Hyundai has been creating eight- and 10-pace transmissions, one of which ought to in the long run make it into the new Sonata too. The new Sonata proceeds with a strut-sort front/multilink back suspension, and gimmicks an electric force controlling framework with 2.8 turns lock-to-bolt. Hyundai additionally touts lessened NVH levels contrasted with the current model.

We will bring you more data about the U.s. models, which will keep on being inherent Alabama, as Hyundai makes it known. Then, what we can say is that the following Sonata will be a more robust, if less progressive auto than the one it will supplant when it goes on special here later not long from this years.
