Available for the first time in 2008, the Hyundai Sonata Limited offers drivers a 162-horsepower, 2.4-liter, twin-cam four-cylinder engine instead of a V6 (although a V6 version is also available in the lineup). A four-speed automatic transmission with a floor-mounted leather-trimmed shifter is standard.

Despite its four-cylinder engine, the Sonata Limited comes with a high-end package of standard features, including leather seats (heated in the front) and a 360-watt, six-speaker Infinity AM/FM/XM stereo system with a six-disc CD changer and an MP3 input jack.

Other standard features for the Sonata Limited include power-adjustable front seats, a remote keyless entry system, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with controls for the stereo system and cruise control.

The five-passenger, front-wheel-drive Sonata Limited is also equipped with speed-sensing rack-and-pinion steering, anti-lock brakes, Electronic Stability Control, traction control, projector-beam halogen headlights, and 17-inch silver alloy wheels, as well as front and side curtain airbags.
