Review 2011 Hyundai Sonata Sedan

Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct injection gives the 2.0T Sonata about 274 horses, 34 MPG on regular fuel.

• Hyundai Sonata from the first 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged direct injection gasoline

• With the best of its kind from an economy of 34 miles per gallon highway fuel economy rating, a 2.0-liter turbo gasoline direct injection also features a best-in-class 274 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque across a wide rev range - 1800 rpm - 4500 rpm - giving the 2.0T four-cylinder Sonata more power than many V6 engines, all on regular fuel

• The new 2.0-liter engine with turbo gasoline direct injection engine is part of the Hyundai Blue Drive strategy, which aims to lead the industry in energy efficiency and sustainability

Twin-scroll turbocharger system  to minimize lag turbocharger to maximize combustion efficiency and power.
 
2011 Hyundai Sonata Sedan
Hyundai Motor America launched its 2.0-liter Theta II turbocharged gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine in 2011 Sonata Auto Show in New York. With the addition of new 2.0-liter Theta II turbocharged GDI offers the new 2011 Sonata is an unprecedented combination of segment-leading fuel economy and power - with an estimated 34 mpg highway rating, and 274 horses . Remarkably, Sonata 2.0T produces these cutting-edge research on regular fuel ... premium is not necessary.

The new Sonata is Hyundai's first vehicle that both the GDI and turbocharging technology. At the end of Hyundai's initiative produced 24 / 7 version 2.0 (seven new models in the next 24 months), four plates are available with GDI or GDI, and the combination of a turbocharger. GDI and turbocharging are part of "Hyundai Blue Drive", the company's environmental initiative to continue the industry leadership in energy efficiency and sustainability.

"The Sonata 2.0T is an excellent example of what our product strategy Drive Blue is for consumers," said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America President and CEO. "Think of it - more power than any V6 from our competitors with better gas consumption than any competitive 4-cylinder model that are not fans of engaging Hyundai, the Sonata and really shows. This aspect of our business focus ".

The GDI 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 274 horsepower in 2011 and 6000 Sonata rpm 269 lbs-ft of torque from 1800 to 4500 rpm with regular fuel. The 2.0T Sonata will deliver 22 mpg city and 34 mpg highway (preliminary estimates). Hyundai turbo has a twin-scroll turbocharger that when combined with GDI system results in the instantaneous power supply. Twin-turbochargers have been used traditionally in the more expensive high-performance engines, but as with GDI, Hyundai has once again chosen to apply this technology effectively in the high volume of its most popular model.

The 2.0T engine is available on the level of SE and Limited trim with 2.0T Limited additional upgrades, including:

• panoramic sunroof

• 18-inch hyper-silver alloy wheels

• The dual exhaust system

• steering wheel mounted paddle shifters
 
2011 Hyundai Sonata Sedan
Twin-scroll turbocharger with GDI and Technology.

Twin-Scroll turbocharger design has two entries in the exhaust gas separated by walls divide the interior of the turbine housing, with two gas passages controlled by a relief valve. A twin-turbo is even more energy from the exhaust of a turbo just because you move to a collector divided. Double entry separates the design of the rollers of which the pulses of exhaust gases interfere with each other leading to improved distribution of pressure in the exhaust and more efficient delivery of energy from the exhaust turbocharger turbine.

For example, two intake valves and exhaust of a cylinder at the beginning of intake stroke of a cylinder, and when it is open (valve overlap period), three-cylinder is already beginning its course of escape of the exhaust valve open. Where exhaust passages of a cylinder and three were closed, would exhaust the cylinder increases against three pulse-pressure cylinder. This will reduce the induction of fresh air and increase the amount of residual hot gases inside the cylinder. But with twin-scroll turbo setup, this interference is minimized.

The result of this analysis of a double-entry design leads to a better distribution of pressure in the exhaust and more efficient delivery of energy from the exhaust turbine of the turbocharger. This in turn allows for more valve overlap, resulting in improved quality and quantity of charge air entering each cylinder. In fact, valve overlap, the effect of sweeping the exhaust stream can literally get more air into the intake side. At the same time highlighting the exhaust gas to lower pressure to help pack on each cylinder with a denser air charge. Maximum gain of the turbo is 17.4 psi.

The design of the twin-scroll turbocharger has several advantages over traditional systems, single turbo scroll, including:

• Improved combustion efficiency

• Motor speed

• The kinetic energy of the exhaust is not wasted or trapped

• The temperature of the bottle cooler

• The low exhaust temperatures

• lean air / fuel ratio

• Increased pressure in the distribution of exhaust vents and more efficient exhaust-gas turbocharger turbine energy

Basically, the Sonata twin-scroll turbo engine with more direct air, the compressor increases the pressure entering the cylinder. This allows the air entering the cylinder is more frequent higher compression and better performance, to promote an efficient and burn more fuel efficiency.

Two main features of Hyundai twin-scroll turbocharger configuration are:

Stainless steel exhaust manifold and twin-scroll turbine housing is cast as a piece of design patents

The turbocharger wastegate controller to use engine power instead of being mechanically

Thanks to the housing of the turbine in the exhaust manifold integrated stainless steel, not just the weight and cost of casting greatly reduced, the durability of the turbine housing is also improved.

Changing the engine to use port electronic boost pressure is controlled with precision. Back pressure is reduced when the turbo boost is not required to open the wastegate, which improves fuel efficiency. In addition, cold starts, the exhaust valve is opened which leads to faster catalyst light-off to reduce exhaust emissions.

A fuel supply system GDI contributes to energy efficiency and reducing emissions. The shortest, most direct delivery of fuel allows a better control of the fuel mixture at the optimum time, thus improving efficiency. The fuel is injected by a camshaft drive high pressure pump that operates at pressures up to 2175 psi. Direct injection also uses a higher proportion of normal compression 9.5:1, while achieving remarkable power 137 per liter. The heads of the pistons are "rounded" to increase the efficiency of combustion in the cylinder.

World-class power to weight, stiffness, and space.

One of his goals for 2011 Sonata engineering team was world-class power-to-weight ratio. This philosophy was also applied to the 2.0T Sonata, with the result of a greater power in its class on the weight of 12.2 horsepower per pound, which is significantly better than any competitor sedan medium size, and even better than the performance-oriented Chevrolet Camaro V6. Power to weight ratio pays dividends to both performance and fuel economy, which is the key to the superior performance of the Sonata in both areas.

In addition, all Sonatas are rich in ultra-high strength steel, which leads to the rigidity of the body of world class. In 2011 the Sonata is 25 percent stiffer in torsion and 19 percent stiffer in bending rigidity than its predecessor, but it is lighter than most sedans medium-sized enterprises, also offering more interior space .

A six-speed automatic.

The commitment of Hyundai Sonata 2.0T to make it extremely fuel efficient continues with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual SHIFTRONIC.

Hyundai new six-speed automatic A6LF2 bridge is another way the company achieves its objectives of improving energy efficiency and reduce emissions. The changes are silky, with a choice of manual control with SHIFTRONIC function.

Drivers can access the SHIFTRONIC feature by moving the shift lever to your door. Pushing the selector forward or pulling the transmission up or down sequentially, adding that the vehicle control. Sonatas turbo mounted levers also feature on the steering wheel. A clear LCD control panel shows the gear used.

Designed for transverse engine applications in cars and SUVs, the new compact Hyundai move to the elite category of car manufacturers who have designed their own country of the six-speed automatic transmissions. Strength of the project is unique in appearance, which makes now a smaller, more compact and lighter than any other six-speed gearbox on the market.

For the customer, to deliver the new six-speed of a performance advantage. The gearbox is not the gauge because it is filled with automatic transmission fluid, which is good for the life of the vehicle in normal use and reduce maintenance costs.

Developed over a period of four years, this new six-speed automatic transmission is 26.4 pounds lighter than the five-speed it replaces. Also is 1.6 inches shorter and simpler, with less than 62 parts, which is the key to a longer life, lighter weight and less expensive.

When it comes to transmissions, more speed is definitely better. The addition of a sixth gear allows more spacing between gears providing a better balance between performance and fuel economy, while the broad overall gear ratio can offer a strong acceleration.

The gearbox has three planetary gear sets and torque converter only dish that shortens the overall length of 0.47 inch drive. Four pinion gear to improve the sustainability and further reduce the size.

Another example of invention is reflected in the design of the control unit of hydraulic pressure. The differences in light manufacturing a solenoid to another are often the cause of fluctuations in hydraulic pressure and affect the accuracy and the quality movement. The transmission appears in the Sonata integrates intelligent screw valves that allow each of the eight valves to be calibrated at the factory. This guarantees the stability of the hydraulic pressure at any point of change that facilitates a high degree of precision and control needed to provide a quick, accurate and smooth through the rev range.

2011 Hyundai SUV Curb review

Curb is a compact urban activities (UAVs), the next generation Hyundai buyers. Braking is also a proving ground for future Hyundai Blue Link ™ Connectivity and vehicles.

Holes and inspiration to stop Nightclubs.The came from the need to develop language Hyundai "fluid sculpture" designed for young buyers. Hyundai designers wanted to create a vehicle with a technology that has been comfortable in an urban environment with holes and packed nightclubs on the street. The vehicle needed for the link blue and connectivity to the impact and shock. From these ideas were "robust technology management "to Curb formed.
 
2011 Hyundai Curb SUV
"We wanted to Curb city to be tough without looking like Brink trucks," said Jason Brown, a Hyundai design. "City driving would have been his forte, do not cross the Rubicon Trail, but we wanted to be the armor of daily driving on urban streets. It 'necessary to give passengers in this situation."

Exterior.

Curb design begins with the waste glass in the hood and wraps around the cap that covers the pillars A. It looks like the face of a motorcycle helmet motorcycle sport. Under the glass lattice structure with glass panels used as a shield.

"Truss frame structure goes up the pillars to help increase the visibility of the density urban environments," said John Krsteski, design manager Curb.

A striking profile is dominated by a boomerang trajectory of the body side cladding. This is the dominant line brings the whole design together and strengthens the feeling of strength and its positive and negative forms.

"The world has never seen the rows of cars in this way before. And 'as if the architect Santiago Calatrava, inspired," said Arash Badeanlou, Hyundai designers.

The slim, sleek headlights and taillights plunge into the car, creating the illusion that they are connected to the engine or inside. To complete the "robust technology" look, the designers added the 22-inch five-spoke wheels and Michelin tires with a pattern of saffron customized to match inside. These wheels have spokes put in the tires to make them have a higher profile. To get to empty, you simply pull their finger on a touch pad to open the doors.

The vents have a dual purpose. They pop open to reveal a rack so that the owner could park and establish a "Fixie" (fixed gear) bike for the rest of his destiny as a source of transportation alternatives. The roof also features pop-up rack towers, which shows the perfect combination to be robust, but high technology. Braking has a flap turned clamshell also opens through a touch screen for loading and unloading and a third rear door for easy entry and exit passage.

Strengthening the connection.

Connectivity is the theme of the interior, why the information flows seamlessly from the outside to the inside of the sidewalk.

"The objective was to ensure that passengers feel connected to each other and the urban environment around them," said Bradley Arnold, decorator vacuum. "We wanted to provide passengers with information and get them to feel that the outside was attached to the inside."

An acrylic display large multiple zone allows information to be transmitted to all passengers via a touch screen that seems to be endless. It flows like a set of indicators of the river to the commands of the console, through the dashboard and all the way in the back seat. The wheel itself is an opaque surface with a monitor that shows through. There are also screens on the back of the headrest. A Heads Up Display (HUD) provided by Continental to navigation keeps his eyes on the road drivers in search of passengers for your favorite channel on Pandora. Drivers are able to navigate your music through a carousel of 3-D album art, and view the covers associated with the track during playback. The cameras also replace the side mirrors and are related to the HUD. The screen can also display a vehicle diagnostic, download applications and act as a videophone all with a control group of a single touch sensor provided by the method.

To bring the outside view, pavement designers had rocker panels flow inside the vehicle to create a unified design. Border stone link interior and exterior design as well as having the rocker panels can be seen from external flows inward. The lattice A three open holes structural pillars enhance driver visibility curves, structural support for the roof and consists of a single workpiece. This steel structure connects it all together.

Accents of saffron in a game of the Rings. Saffron accents appear on the seats of the slope model, which are made of a material super-stretchy, quick-drying board short. The rear seat is also a movement back and forth.

When it comes to storage capacity, a Curb rear headrests mounted on his sturdy frame, rather than seats. These headrests shot into the roof to the rear seats fold flat.

Generation Y wants to connect to their mail at any time. Inside the vacuum, a driver could be listening to your favorite station on Pandora, the cruise of the city and receives a phone call from a friend. Use Blue Link, the location of the caller is a point of interest (POI). The friend told the driver he had just discovered a great band playing at a local club and invited him to come. Location becomes the destination for turn by turn directions.

The sharing feature location of Blue Link will send the placement of sidewalks on certain members of social networking sites. The process begins with the addition friend e-mail addresses for the sharing site link to a place blue. The driver can then allow his friends know they are on their way by sending a message of sharing location within empty. If a friend has accepted the request of the owner to place shares at the time the situation appears as an item of interest on the navigation screen.

2011 Hyundai Elantra


For 2011 Hyundai Elantra is completely redesigned, with an attractive design, new features, a powerful 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and new gearbox six-speed.

What is the life story of Cinderella and the Hyundai Elantra have in common? More than you think. You see, for years some people have one of them a second thought, as they worked away from the shadows, waiting for their chance to shine.

For the completely redesigned sedan 2011 Hyundai Elantra is the present moment. Ditching its rags like Cinderella, scouring out the Elantra frumpy often refer to a different car, very pleasant to coup for many car buyers. Its stylish new can be a sparkling blue dress with a statuesque blonde, but it is sure to turn some heads.

Conveniently, this new Elantra is more than a pretty face. This dolled-up on the new Elantra sports a new 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine combines with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Unlike the Chevrolet Cruze Eco Volkswagen Jetta TDI or that require you to pay more for their high consumption of special fuel, this new engine allows for a simple change Elantra impressive EPA estimated 40 mpg on the highway.

Although this new Elantra is always competition in the compact segment, the size of the cabin (like many of its competitors) has increased to the point that the EPA now considered a midsize car in terms of interior volume. It is the inside can also be loaded with premium features offered on some cars even legitimate means, not to mention the compact: keyless entry / ignition, a backup camera and heated rear seats.

Of course, this new 2011 Hyundai Elantra comes to the Royal Ballet, only to find a dance floor full of interesting competitors. In addition to perennial favorites like the Honda Civic and Mazda 3, a compact sedan buyers want to add new Cruze, the Jetta and the Ford Focus 2012 on their lists. But, all things considered, we think that the new Elantra is a combination of distinctive styling, fuel economy, spacious interior and low price could help it become the ball fine.

Body styles, trim levels and options


2011 Hyundai Elantra is a compact sedan, which is available in two trim levels. GLS model with a basic standard 15-inch steel wheels, heated mirrors, keyless entry, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, trip computer, full power accessories, tilt-only steering wheel and six speaker audio with CD player, satellite radio and iPod / USB audio interface.

Alternatives in the GLS is a popular accessory package that brings 16-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, cruise control and telescopic steering wheel. Package includes favorite accessory 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth, illuminated vanity mirrors and diffuser plug-in, sliding armrest, center console and steering wheel audio controls.

Spring high-end limited and you receive the material above that level alloy wheels, over 17 inches, fog lights, sunroof leather upholstery and heated front and rear seats. An available navigation package (called the Premium Package for the Limited) for the two trim levels adds automatic headlights, keyless ignition / entry (limited), a navigation system, rearview camera, in real-time traffic time and a premium of 360 - watt sound system.

Engines and performance


Feeding the 2011 Hyundai Elantra is a new 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder is rated at 148 horsepower and 131 lb.-ft. of torque. Vehicles sold in California and other states follow the same laws obtain emission PZEV (Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle) version of this engine, which reduces output to 145 hp and 130 lb-ft of torque. GLS models come standard with a six-speed manual transmission with six-speed automatic transmission is optional. Limited Auto series.

No matter what the engine / transmission combo you choose, you'll end up with a saving of fuel. 29 mpg city/40 mpg EPA estimated 33 mpg highway and combined.

Security

2011 Hyundai Elantra to the list of standard safety equipment includes traction and stability control, disc brakes with ABS, active head restraints, front seat side airbags and side curtain airbags covering both rows. 


Interior Design and Special Features

Elantra interior features a curved center console and air conditioning and style to give a little something extra. The design is attractive and materials, but not the best in its class, at least for a look full of them. Despite the hat deep interior feels bright and spacious - front height is a lot of 6-footers and the steering wheel is a bit 'smaller in diameter than usual, which increases the feeling of space in front. The rear bench is great for the kids, and even many adults, even if the principles in finding a good room with the vertical leg and a lack of free rec.

The Elantra has a large trunk at 14.8 cubic feet of cargo space, a generous number of this segment.

Driving Impressions

While the 2011 Hyundai Elantra is not as exciting to drive as it is to look at, it is certainly not the pumpkin. The new 1.8-liter engine has plenty of PPE for everyday driving, and changing six-speed automatic downshifts smoothly and easily. Engine gets noisy at high speeds, however.

As for handling, in fact a combination of a rigid body structure and many more well tuned suspension made the new Elantra fun to drive. The car is stable and planted, with the roll when cornering relatively small - qualities that result in an additional sense of confidence behind the wheel. Comments by the new electric power steering seems a little artificial, but it is always fast and accurate.

In the daily conduct of the ride quality is on the business side, but is well damped and, for most potential buyers, should be far wrong. The cabin is relatively quiet with little wind noise in itself, but it is enough road noise to remind you that the Elantra compact car is still an economy sedan that appears to be high dollar.

Price MSRP from $14,945

SEMA 2010: Hyundai Genesis Coupe





The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a tuner favorite at SEMA. GogoGear showed off its racing Genesis Coupe, while ARK Performance has created a performance Genesis Coupe more appropriate for cruising the Vegas Strip. There's even a bit of overlap between the two, as GogoGear's entry uses a carbon fiber bodykit, headers, shocks and coilovers from ARK Performance. Getting the rest of the coupe ready for kerbs are the upgraded V6 churning out 380 horsepower, carbon fiber roof, 18-inch Konig Kilogram lightweight wheels and a Racepak IQ3 data logger dash.

ARK Performance went street with a carbon grille, hood and rear diffuser, with ARK SFX bumpers, skirts and fenders.

Mileage: 36 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway

Other Info: Sonata is a sedan that has always shown up with the kind of styling, efficiency and price this low which make consumers to scurry for their checkbook.

All new 2011 Sonata can also be driven in all electric mode. Hyundai says that the Sonata Hybrid can cruise on all-electric at speed of up to 62 mph, and company's engineer indicated that the car might do even better. Hyundai did this by converting its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine to the Atkinson Cycle and added a 40-horsepower electric motor, which is good for a combined 206 horsepower and 193 pound-feet of torque, but the main thing is the car's battery pack.

Instead of cull out the cheaper nickel-metal hydride cells, Hyundai's choice was costlier lithium-polymer cells with a total of 72 cells into the pack, which weighs a relatively 96 pounds.

Paris 2010: Hyundai teams up with Brabus for sportier i20

Hyundai i20 Sport Edition

After a 2008 introduction, the Hyundai i20 is back at the Paris Motor Show but this time it's got a bit of an attitude. Hyundai has teamed up with Brabus to create the i20 Sport Edition. So far the only details released involve the appearance changes. The front skirt and wheel arches take on an angrier appearance while Yokohama rubber gets wrapped around a set of 17-inch Brabus alloy wheels. The black mesh looks good next to the black bezel around the headlights, as well as the added LED daytime running strips.

While the outside sports that subtly-cool hot-hatch look, the inside looks it was "designed" by the Great Pumpkin after a night spent throwing one too many back. Though the orange-black paint scheme is a little much, the sporty Recaro seats, leather-lined surfaces and seven-inch touchscreen are welcome additions.

We're still waiting to hear what is powering the Hyundai i20 Sport Edition, but with Brabus involved we can only hope for the best. The car will enter production during the first half of 2011, and it will be released as a limited-edition model, available in both three and five-door versions

Paris 2010: 2011 Hyundai ix20 is neat, nifty, compact

2011 Hyundai ix20

Hyundai's fluidic design language makes a little car quite handsome, and the ix20 MPV at the Paris Motor Show is the latest to benefit from the rhinoplasty. To our American eyes, it's a tiny piece of kit to be called an MPV, but the market for European B-segment people-carriers is robust.

Aimed at Continental families, the wheels pushed out to the corners provides a pleasantly roomy interior for a car with its dimensions. Four powerplants can be placed under the hood, two gas engines and two oil-burners ranging from 75 to 122 horsepower. Hyundai has also found room for plenty of safety features, with ESP, ABS, and Hill Start Assist making the list of standard kit.

Hyundai is hoping any further worries will be allayed by the five-year, unlimited mile warranty, and wants to sell 55,000 units of the ix20 annually.

Hyundai: Sonata 2.0 Turbo hits 60 in 6.5 seconds, returns 34 mpg highway

2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo

According to Hyundai, its new 274-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged engine for the 2011 Sonata sedan is going to be a real gem. To wit, the Korean automaker says the boosted-four will propel its midsize sedan to 60 miles per hour in just 6.5 seconds. That's serious speed for the segment and it means the Sonata will at least have the accelerative chops to stick with the rest of the sport sedan competition.

Of course, these days frugality is just as important as horsepower, and Hyundai assures us that its 2.0T-powered Sonata will be able to return the promised 22 miles per gallon in the city and 34 on the highway – all on regular-grade fuel. For those who like to keep track of such things, Hyundai claims those figures are 16% and 17% better respectively than the outgoing 3.5-liter V6.

Want more? Well, that's all we can share for now... but our initial driving impressions will be on their way just as soon as Hyundai gives the word. Stay tuned.
