RIDE & HANDLING

Advanced high strength steel (AHSS) 51% of the Sonata's body is made of an Advanced high strength steel
(AHSS), which is twice as strong as an ordinary steel plate. This means
better energy absorption, even distribution of collision forces and minimal
distortion. Most of all, it means better passenger protection.
Powertrain An advanced powertrain delivers exhilarating
performance. Front and rear suspension designs
enhance steering response, handling capability and
stability. High torque at low and middle engine
speeds increases the acceleration response and
strengthens driving performance.
