Hyundai has given its Sonata range a major workover, with new styling, two new engines, revised transmissions, sportier handling and additional standard equipment. As a result, the new Sonata is not only a better-looking car, it’s also better to drive, roomier, more comfortable and safer. The new Sonata range has been rationalised to just two models – the GL 2.4 litre (up from 2.0 litres previously) and the GL V6 2.7 litre (up from 2.5 litres). Both are available with either a five-speed manual or a four speed ‘Selectronic’ adaptive automatic with a sequential manual mode. Sonata prices start at $23,990 for a 2.4 litre manual, with the V6 manual costing $25,990. Add $1,990 for automatic in both. Options include an enhanced safety pack that provides anti-lock brakes and a front passenger airbag for $2,190, and a range of 
LIKES Value for money Performance Standard safety features Normally the domain of local manufacturers, Hyundai’s latest Sonata has stepped on a few toes in the large car segment.

Large instruments face the driver, with the high set audio controls just to the left. Three rotary switches look after all of your

Consigning its predecessor’s quirky aesthetics to history, the newcomer’s larger, more attractive “euro” style is just the ticket to generate some showroom traffic. Mix typical Korean value for money with an impressive list of standard safety features, and you have a package set to tug at the purse strings of medium and family car buyers.

Next is the Elite 2.4 (auto only) at $31,490. With high levels of standard equipment the only option for either car is metallic or mica paint at $225. Bear in mind the
