[Edit] The Hyundai Sonata continues to up the ante in its competition with Honda and Toyota by significantly revamping its interior look, powertrains, and standard features for 2009. This midsize, front-wheel-drive sedan still tends toward the blander side when compared to its top two Japanese rivals, but maintains its significantly lower price tag and top-notch safety profile.
There are some minor tweaks to the grille, headlamps, and bumpers in the 2009 Sonata, but the real focus is on performance and comfort. A new generation Theta II 2.4-liter inline four engine with variable valve timing now delivers 175 hp and 168 ft-lbs of torque, with improved fuel economy of 22/32 mpg. Likewise, the 3.3-liter DOHC V6 gets a new variable intake and boosts horsepower and torque ratings to 249 and 229 respectively. Mileage numbers also improve to 19/29 mpg. A tweaked 5-speed shiftable automatic is now available for all trims, along with a 5-speed manual.
On the inside, this 5-passenger car updates its materials for a more high-end feel. Blue-black lighting and more alloy accents accomplish this task. An MP3 input jack is now standard, along with wheel-mounted audio controls. New for 2009 is an optional touchscreen navigation system, bundled with satellite radio. The base GLS starts out well equipped with full power features, a CD player, and cruise control. The performance SE stiffens up its sport suspension and adds larger 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, foglights, and leather trim. The more upscale Limited gets new dual-stage heated front seats, leather upholstery, a 6-CD changer, and a sunroof. Limited features are available as options for the other trims.
A big selling point for the 2009 Sonata is not only its standard warranty, but its five-star crash test ratings. For a midsize sedan under $20,000, it features an impressive array of safety equipment. This includes ABS brakes (now combined with electronic brakeforce distribution), six airbags, traction and stability control, and a tire monitor. For 2009, the front stabilizer bar is strengthened to mitigate front impacts. Owners and drivers seem very happy with the 2009 Sonata. Its lower price makes it a good value, thanks to a roomy interior, strong safety reputation, and long list of features.
