2011 Hyundai Sonata Coming to LA Auto Display
Hyundaiofficials just confirmed the redesigned 2011 Hyundai Sonata will make its U.S. debut at the 2009 LA Auto Show next week. Hyundai had previously said the Sonata would be unveiledin Detroit.
We'll expect Hyundai presenters to give a lengthy talk about direct-injection technology, given that the company's new 201-horsepower, direct-injected 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder will be the volume engine in the new Sonata. A turbocharged version of that engine making in the neighborhood of 240-250 hpis expected some time after the initial launch in the summer of 2010. A hybrid Sonata will follow a year after launch.
