Hybrids don’t need to be shaped like a cheese wedge to get better gas mileage. The design differences are subtly different from the traditional Sonata, yet the Sonata Hybrid achieves the industry’s lowest 0.25 coefficient of drag.

The Sonata Hybrid is different, but not eccentric. A raked roofline, modern design and 16-inch or available 17-inch alloy wheels lower aerodynamic drag while adding style. A unique front grille and LED headlight accents with daytime running lights also distinguish the Hybrid from its traditional counterpart. Front fog lights, LED tail lights and side mirror turn signal indicators increase visibility and appeal, while the Blue Drive badge shows you’re leading the way to lower emissions.

No more fumbling for the key in your pocket or purse. The Sonata recognizes your key fob and automatically unlocks when you push the small black button on the door handle. Get in, fasten your shoulder belt, hit the start button and go.

Solar control windows block UV rays to protect the interior, and you, from the wrath of the sun. The cooler cabin means you can leave the air conditioning off, saving gas and the environment.

Brilliant design and a more compact battery that fits in the trunk give the Sonata Hybrid the most interior space in its class, which leaves plenty of room for passengers and the features they love. Like power-adjustable driver seat with lumbar support, dual temperature controls and even heated front seats and rear seat bottom cushions. Plus a 4.2-inch LCD screen with hybrid technology display.

Thanks to the space-saving lithium polymer battery, the Sonata Hybrid has more passenger room than the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion hybrids. There’s more head room, more leg room in front and even plenty of room for luggage in the trunk.

The Sonata cabin is organized logically with driver and passenger amenities within quick and easy reach. The navigation touchscreen and audio controls are set a little higher on the center stack, making them easier to check while staying focused on the road. The dual automatic climate control offers custom settings for the driver and front passenger along with floor console air vent controls for rear passengers. Steering-wheel-mounted audio and phone controls keep your attention on the business at hand.

Most modern trip computers help you drive smarter and more efficiently. You can see average speed, average and instant fuel consumption, and miles to empty, but the Sonata Hybrid Technology Eco-Guide color display with its 4.2-inch TFT screen takes the idea of control a step further. Allowing you to set your doors to lock automatically on reaching pre-set speeds or the movement of the gear shift lever. You can even adjust the delay time to automatically shut off your headlights when you park.

The Sonata Hybrid is the first non-plug-in hybrid with the next-generation lithium polymer battery technology, the most efficient battery on the market today. It also features a 6-speed automatic transmission that delivers a smooth feel, best-in-class 206 net horsepower, and 40 MPG highway.

Compared to the nickel-metal hydride battery used in competitors’ hybrids, the Sonata Hybrid uses a polymer gel as the electrolyte in its battery. This allows for a thinner and lighter casing which translates to more cargo and interior volume. This next-generation battery is capable of delivering the same power with 25% less weight, 40% less volume and 10% more efficiency. It also discharges more slowly to maintain available power up to 1.7 times longer than traditional batteries.

Hybrid engines are obviously different from standard car engines, and the Sonata Hybrid is different still from other hybrids. Using a fully parallel HEV system provides optimum power, with engine and battery power supply working simultaneously. Additional energy saving comes through the electric engine’s Hybrid Starter Generator (HSG) function and an all-electric mode up to 74 mph.

Tight-fisted with fuel, generous with performance. Sonata Hybrid’s 2.4L DOHC Theta II engine features an Atkinson Cycle for decreased pumping and friction loss—resulting in improved fuel economy.

The engine-speed-sensitive, motor-driven power steering gives you more assistance at lower speeds (for parking) and makes the handling less touchy at higher speeds (on the highway). The turning diameter is a tight 35.8 feet, curb-to-curb. The fully independent suspension, with MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link rear, includes advanced SACHS® Amplitude Selective Damping shock absorbers for added response and a smooth ride.

Owning a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid means you don’t have to sacrifice on safety. Active and passive standard safety features include six airbags, 4-wheel ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, plus a host of other modern safety technologies that helped earn the Sonata model line a 2011 “Top Safety Pick” award from the IIHS.

In 2012 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will require all vehicles to be equipped with ESC, a feature that the Sonata Hybrid and all Hyundai models have today. NHTSA studies show passenger cars equipped with ESC experience 35% fewer single-vehicle crashes, and 30% fewer single-vehicle fatalities. ESC sensors measure the difference between a driver’s intended path—when a turn is less or more than intended—and applies appropriate braking force to individual wheels to help regain control. ESC also includes Traction Control System (TCS)5, which reduces wheelspin when accelerating.

In addition to crumple zones, unibody construction, and active front head restraints that help reduce the chance of whiplash, the Sonata Hybrid also has advanced front, front side-impact, and side curtain airbags, to help protect you in case of an accident.
