Sonata, a bit like its namesake as a gentle musical piece, has always seemed to be a comfortable, reliable means of transportation. That said, I certainly never equated it with being exciting or bold. Chicago Hyundai Sonata dealers are excited about the 2011 Sonata with its new look and retained quality.
Aside from looking like a car I want to drive, the Sonata is still tops in safety and fuel economy, plus I can afford it. The combination of all these qualities makes the Sonata an even better buy than any car in its class, including the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Chevy Malibu, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion or the Mazda 6.
Customers shopping for Chicago used Hyundai Sonata models realize what I never did that Sonata has been a top model all along, even if the new 2011 is the most pleasing to the eye. Its profile, by the way, is adapted from the Mercedes CLS and it gives that luxury car feel with other small touches like blue-tinted indicator lights and quality interior materials.
Now let's discuss the four-cylinder engine. Not the first thing you think of for power and fun driving, but with the Sonata it works. It works because the smaller engine allowed Hyundai to make the Sonata 100 pounds lighter, which helps immensely with fuel economy and handling. Another 25-plus pounds is saved with a lighter weight six-speed transmission. Yes, even lighter than the five-speed it replaced. This makes Sonata more agile than many of its competitors.
Chicago Hyundai Sonata buyers will appreciate that the high horsepower and lower weight allow Sonata to reach 60 mph in just over eight seconds. Consumers have weighed in and purchased more than 18,000 Sonatas in April, hugely outselling last year's model with 12,000. So Hyundai is apparently staying on the right path with U.S. buyers and being rewarded with higher sales. So what else will you get with the 2011 Sonata and what will it cost? Well, a "nicely-equipped" version which is complete with power sunroof, leather wrapped steering wheel and seats and proximity key entry will run you $25,295. That's a price I can pay for luxury!
Even Chicago used Sonata customers will want to check out the 2011 model and see the vast improvements on an already great car. On auto industry guide, Writes Automotive Lease Guide, even states that Hyundai has the highest brand momentum in the industry.
So what are you waiting for? It's all there: quality, proven reliability, luxury, fuel efficiency, smooth handling, sleek looks and a phenomenal price. Hyundai is definitely proving itself to be a contender in the U.S. and world auto markets and seems to have the "momentum" to rise straight to the top. Keep an eye out for what they do next.
