2011 Sonata

2011 Sonata WHERE STYLE AND LUXURY CONVERGE.

Some people look around at what others are driving and
then follow their lead. Others, however, have a different
way of doing things. They make decisions that are
thoughtful, and reflect their own values. They look
for quality, and the features they want at a good price,
The highlights of this thoroughly outstanding sedan
include its Fluidic Sculpture design and luxuriously
appointed interior, and its 2.4L 4-cylinder engine
that produces both best-in-class horsepower based on
a 4-cylinder engine and best-in-class fuel economy*.
^
To that, add an unprecedented level of standard amenities
and luxury features, and a standard of fit and finish that’s
testament to Hyundai’s unrelenting commitment to
building vehicles of the highest quality.

Make the 2011 Sonata a part of your future.

and even a design that expresses their sense of style.

re-envisioning. Taken to a new level of style, luxury
and refinement, the Sonata will undoubtedly be the
sedan against which others in its class will be measured.
 exterior

See and Be Seen. Sonata’s large, power

adjustable sideview mirrors offer drivers a wide
view of rear and side-rear traffic for added
safety, while side repeater lights alert other
drivers to your intentions when turning or
changing lanes (available on Limited models).

Light Up the Way. Integral to Sonata’s striking

front fascia are its jeweled projector lens
headlights. Designed to fit cohesively into the
fluidic sculpture lines, they offer strong
illumination and high visibility for added safety.

The Grace of Nature, in Motion. The breathtaking exterior design of the new Sonata is the result of a design
philosophy called Fluidic Sculpture. It considers the interplay of natural, fluid elements with the more rigid surface and
structures of a vehicle to create the impression of constant, graceful motion.The most visible result of this is the signature
chrome accent – extending from the headlamps along the hood edge back to the side window line. The overall visual
impression is that of a long, low, light sedan that blends sportiness with elegance in equal measures.
 interior

Nav System Shows the Way. Get where

you’re going quickly and efficiently with
Sonata’s navigation system (available on
Limited with Nav. model). This high-
resolution touch-screen display also features
a backup camera, helping you spot objects,
people or other cars while in reverse.

Warm Comfort in Cold Climates.

Sonata not only gets you there in style,
but it also gets you there in comfort,
with heated driver and front-passenger
seats (standard on GL with automatic
transmission, GLS and Limited models)
and first-in-class heated rear seats
(standard on Limited models).

A New Level of Style and Comfort. Inside the Sonata, the results of Fluidic Sculpture are evident as well.
As you’d expect from Hyundai, it delivers exceptional comfort, functionality and practicality – but now with a decidedly
upscale ambience. The new Sonata features an available Dimension® AM/FM/XM/6-CD changer ∆/MP3 audio system with
six speakers, subwoofer and 360-watt external amplifier. And when it comes to space, the Sonata has the most interior
volume of the key competitors in its class‡ at 2,939L, plus 464L of trunk space.
 performance

Power and Efficiency, Together.

Sonata comes standard with the Theta II GDI
2.4L 4-cylinder engine. GDI – Gasoline
Direct-Injection – allows for greater control
of the fuel mixture, resulting in improved
efficiency while delivering Sonata’s best-in-
class horsepower based on a 4-cylinder
engine^ and best-in-class fuel economy*.

Comfortable Ride with Agile Handling.

Sonata strikes a winning balance between
responsive handling and luxurious ride
with an advanced, four-wheel independent
suspension system. Featuring a MacPherson
strut suspension at front and multi-link
at rear, it’s an impressive combination of
comfort and control.

The Power to Be the Best. When you create a sedan as inspired as the Sonata, you expect that inspiration to permeate
throughout. When it comes to performance, it does. Sonata sports a powerful 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, mated to a 6-speed
transmission that provides a superior balance of performance and fuel economy. Its chassis was engineered using ultra-high-
strength steel, leading to an increase in torsion stiffness and bending rigidity over its predecessor.
 safety

Safety, in 1/25 of a Second. The 2011 Sonata

boasts a total of six airbags1 – standard – to help
protect drivers and passengers in a collision,
including dual front airbags, front seat-mounted
side-impact airbags, plus front and rear
side-curtain airbags.

Safety, in handling and braking.

Sonata’s Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with
Traction Control System (TCS)2 is designed to help
keep your vehicle going right where you want it
to in slippery or icy conditions. And an Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force
Distribution (EBD) with Brake Assist (BA) helps
ensure you get where you’re going, safely.

Safety Systems, All Around. The 2011 Sonata puts safety at the top of the priority list with a host of standard
features designed to help you avoid accidents. Features such as an organ-style accelerator pedal to keep objects from
getting lodged beneath it; front-seat active head restraints; and standard Bluetooth® Handsfree◊ and steering wheel-mounted
Bluetooth® controls. As a result, the 2011 Sonata has been designated the 2010 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Sonata’s well-appointed interior
is not only luxurious, but is also
best-in-class for space‡.
Smart, and what it means to us.
Every automaker – like every person – has a philosophy that guides
their thinking and decisions. Ours is straightforward and pragmatic:
to be smart. At Hyundai, we try to make smart moves, every day,
so we’re not only your next vehicle choice, but also your choice
again and again down the road.

Smart is building vehicles that offer exceptional value – not just a

great price. We build vehicles that people are happy to drive, with
the comfort and safety features they want, and meaningful warranties
to back them up.

Smart is the drive to zero defects. In 1999, we embarked on our

quality mission when we launched the Zero Defects program.
This initiative involves everyone and every aspect of the company’s
culture in a sincere commitment to quality manufacturing across the
board. While we continue to be honoured with awards for excellence,
our priority remains our unwavering commitment to our drivers.

Smart is offering sensible prices on vehicles that people are happy to

drive. And we want you to be as happy with your vehicle in five or ten
years as you are on day one. This means building a quality product,
and equipping it with the kinds of features that make driving a joy.
It also means offering a warranty that’s meaningful, like a 5-year/100,000 km
Comprehensive Limited Warranty†, 5-year/100,000 km Powertrain Warranty
and 3-year/Unlimited km Roadside Assistance Program††.

Ultimately, smart is taking a leadership role, with the courage to break new
ground and chart the course that an entire industry will take. It requires
the confidence to guide others, and the conviction to follow through on
commitments. Hyundai’s commitment to these principles has propelled us
to being the world’s 4th largest auto manufacturer, servicing 160 countries
and selling 30 million vehicles.

As part of our leadership role, we’ve launched Blue Drive, a collection

of environmental initiatives that will help the fight to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions. It’s one of many steps toward our goal to achieve the most
fuel-efficient lineup on the planet by 2015, and just another way we’re
working to be your first choice in vehicles today, and again down the road.

We believe that if we continue to follow the principles behind what is smart,

we’ll continue to show Canadians that Hyundai is the right choice today and
their best choice for the future.
