The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
A terrific value for the money
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com
The base Sonata carries a base price of just $13,804; with automatic transmission it's $14,614. The high-line GLS, which includes the V6 and automatic, a full complement of power accessories, gas-pressure shock absorbers, alloy wheels with high-performance tires and upgraded sound system, is just $17,804. If you add a package consisting of a CD player, power sunroof, leather and ABS, and then you tack on floormats and the $405 destination charge, you're still at only $20,756. That's for an absolutely fully equipped midsize sedan with a generously sized interior, big trunk, great ride and handling, decent performance and a fuel economy rating of well over 20 mpg on the highway. No matter how you cut and slice any of those prices, the Sonata, in either base form or as a fully loaded GLS, is a heck of a deal. So if you're looking for sedan value for your hard-earned bucks, you'll have to do quite a bit of shopping to beat the Hyundai Sonata. |

Overview:
|
Hyundai got its toehold in the United States with inexpensive little cars, and it's now reaching up both in size and quality with its all-new midsize Sonata. This 4-door sedan will have to compete with the likes of Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Ford Taurus and a host of others. That may seem like stiff competition for Hyundai, but the Sonata definitely has its own attributes: It may be more car for less money than any other midsize sedan you can buy. Additionally, the people at Hyundai - both in Korea and the United States - have made great efforts to bring quality up to par, and the current lineup reflects the results of that work. Current Hyundai vehicles are solid, respectable products. The Sonata is available in three trim levels: base, mid-range GL and upper-crust GLS.
