Introducing the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid!
Did you ever wish you could have the safety, features and roominess of a Hyundai family car with the fuel economy of a smaller vehicle? That is what you can enjoy with the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. This high quality hybrid sedan gets a very impressive 42 MPG overall rating from EPA at a very affordable price, and boasts all the features and comfort of a regular Hyundai sedan. The 2016 model has really stepped it up in the fuel economy department. This was accomplished by improving the drive train, which features a smaller motor, and more powerful electric motor and a better transmission. There also have been a host of aerodynamic tweaks on the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid including lightweight alloy wheels, active air shudders in the grille, and a more aerodynamic rear end.
Superb Fuel Economy and Power
The 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid gets an all-new 2.0 liter gas engine paired with an electric motor. Together they generate 192 horsepower. Power goes to the front wheels via a new six speed automatic transmission. Energy is stored through regenerative braking in the lithium ion battery stored in the trunk. With this fantastic new powertrain, the Sonata Hybrid is able to get better than 40 MPG overall. This is a huge 10 percent increase in fuel efficiency over the 2015 model.
High Safety Marks
Standard safety equipment on the hybrid includes antilock brakes, stability and traction control, side curtain airbags, driver side knee airbag, front seat side impact airbags and a rear view camera. Also new on the 2016 model, Hyundai recognizes that pedestrians may not always hear the car when it is in all electric mode. So the 2016 Sonata Hybrid has a virtual engine sound system. That it, it broadcasts the sound of a regular gas engine through speakers in the front of the car. This system activates when the car is going faster than 20 MPH.
Superior Driving Characteristics
The 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid rides very smooth on any type of pavement, and the cabin is whisper quiet at whatever speed you choose. The steering and suspension is taut and controlled without being tiring on long trips. The six speed transmission is smooth, and there is plenty of power on tap. Overall, it's a great driving, fuel efficient sedan that the whole family will enjoy. Stop by for your test drive today!
