The car is around 23mm longer than the previous edition. Consequently, it has the largest interior space compared to other cars in its segment - 3,398 litres. That means a spacious back seat, generous front and rear headroom and the feeling that the 2011 Sonata is way above its price range. Even the boot is huge, with 464 litres of cargo capacity.
The audio system, which can be upgraded with a 360-watt Dimension audio package that offers subwoofers, something called a variable equalizer and a six-disc CD changer sounds pretty good. The rear AC vents keep the passengers cool.
The standard engine on every Sonata trim level is a 2.4-litre four-cylinder, that's good for 198 horsepower and 249Nm of torque.The quick city runs are where the car is at its best. If you flog it too hard, the 2.4-litre engine starts gasping for breath. The paddle shifts on the steering wheel can be fun if you don't take them too seriously. In any case, the automatic takes over when the needle reaches 6,500rpm.
The Sonata is a comfortable and likable mid-size car that proves Hyundai can build cars that aren't just easy on the pocket, but easy to live with as well. Like most vehicles in the mid-size saloon class, the Sonata offers front-wheel drive, numerous safety features and a choice of trim levels. However, what really sets the Sonata apart is its value-for-money pricing. Even the base car comes well equipped. Starting at Dh67,900 and going up to Dh92,900, (UAE price) the Sonata is a good buy at both ends.

Hyundai Sonata isn't a bad model both to its features and design. But I want to know the basic difference between the Sonata and Elantra of Hyundai.
Hyundai Sonata is really one impressive model in the current car market. Nice for getting some information about Hyundai from your posting.
