Whats New for the 2006 Hyundai Sonata?
Hyundai has significantly reworked and improved its midsize Sonata family sedan this year. Designed specifically for the American market, the new Sonata features taut exterior styling, a roomier interior, powerful new engines, and additional luxury and safety feature content. The new car is larger than it was before, and much of the extra size has been used to provide more space for passengers and luggage. Interior dimensions, such as legroom and trunk space, are now equal to or better than some of the best family sedans available. Three trim levels are offered: GL, GLS and LX. The GL and GLS come with a 162-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Its power is applied to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission (available on the GL only) or a five-speed automatic. For more power, there’s a 237-hp, 3.3-liter V6. It’s optional for the GLS and standard on LX cars and can only be had with the five-speed auto. Standard features on all three trim levels are extensive. Base-l
