Upcoming Cars in 2011 SONATA With Prices Specification And Previews and Images

Hyundai Sonata is one of the most famous ones among Hyundai models and indeed all mid-sized family sedans, and I can’t think of a market in which Sonata hasn’t been present during its time. Next year the new generation will be introduced with some dramatic changes over the current model. You can notice some of the new stuffs through these latest spy pictures though…


Although the curves of the body is very well disguised, but the roof line is clearly visible. As you see it has become sleeker and more elegant, but calling it a four-door coupe style seems like a tall order. Specially because the Sonata is an economy family saloon, and that sorta car should not be too fancy! More than that, the next Sonata might not become a four-door coupe because it’ll cost it lots of interior space, and that’s the car’s party piece.

We’ve occasionally stumbled across prototype vehicles in parking lots or traffic, but we’ve never had one fall into our laps before. This 2012 Hyundai Elantra prototype, however, did just that. We were tending to business in the office when the forthcoming four-door literally parked right beneath our window.

We conveniently chose to take our lunch break at that exact moment, and meandered down to have a look for ourselves. Admittedly, there’s little mystery surrounding the new subcompact sedan since it’s already been launched in Korea, but this was our first close encounter with the new Elantra here in the U.S.

Hyundai is on a serious roll with the Sonata. It started out with the redesigned 2011 Sonata and its very capable standard power plant — a 198-horsepower, direct-injected 2.4-liter engine — and it escalated at last month’s New York auto show with the unveiling of the 274-hp Sonata 2.0T and the lithium-polymer battery-equipped Sonata Hybrid.

So what’s Hyundai’s next move? Well, sources close to the company have suggested it will be the Sonata Coupe. When you look at the fast roofline of the sedan, it’s as if the coupe body style is meant to be — and we have no doubt Hyundai picked the final design for the Sonata with this in mind.
