Jacksonville Hyundai dealer, Hyundai of St. Augustine, announced today that the highly anticipated 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T is now available to Jacksonville Hyundai Sonata shoppers.

The Sonata 2.0T debuts Hyundai’s first four-cylinder, turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engine. No premium fuel needed for this greener vehicle – Twin-Scroll Turbocharger and Direct Injection give Sonata 2.0T an estimated 34 MPG on regular fuel. Jacksonville Hyundai shoppers looking for power, prowess and incredible fuel efficiency should meet the new Sonata 2.0T at Hyundai of St Augustine.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engine helps Sonata deliver best-in-class 274 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque across a broad rpm range, giving the Sonata 2.0T four-cylinder more power than many V6 engines.

Turbocharging and GDI are part of “Hyundai Blue Drive,” the company’s environmental initiative to continue industry leadership in fuel efficiency and sustainability, an important aspect for Jacksonville Hyundai shoppers.

Jacksonville Hyundai Shoppers Experience New Blue Drive Technology

“The Sonata 2.0T is a great example of what our Blue Drive product strategy is doing for consumers,” said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America president and CEO. “Think about it – more horsepower than any of our V6 competitors, with better gas mileage than any competitive 4-cylinder model. We’re not fans of compromising at Hyundai, and the Sonata really demonstrates this aspect of our business approach.”

One of the goals for the 2011 Sonata engineering team was world-class power-to-weight ratio. This philosophy was applied to the Sonata 2.0T, with the result of a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio of 12.2 horsepower per pound, significantly better than any mid-size sedan competitor.

This new compact transmission puts Hyundai into an elite class of auto manufacturers who have designed their own proprietary six-speed automatic transmissions. The strength of the design is its unique layout which makes it smaller, more compact and lighter than any other six-speed transmission on the market today.

Developed over a four-year period, Sonata’s new six-speed automatic is 26.4 pounds lighter than the five-speed it replaces. It is also 1.6 inches shorter and considerably simpler, having 62 fewer parts, which is key to increased durability, lighter weight and lower cost.

Motor Trend says, “The six-speed automatic transmission has a short first gear for snappy off-the-line punch and offers better efficiency than the five-speed it replaces. An unusually compact torque converter helps shorten the transmission’s length by 1.6 inches, and it’s 26 pounds lighter as well.”

The Sonata 2.0 Turbo completes the Sonata lineup, complementing a 40-mpg hybrid and the value-priced GLS Sonata, which offers a 2.4-liter I-4 engine as standard equipment. Jacksonville Hyundai shoppers can learn more about the Sonata lineup online.

Edmunds.com pronounces, “The 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T is a must-drive for any shopper considering a family sedan with more power than a base four-cylinder. Its combination of power and fuel economy simply cannot be matched”.

To see the 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T and all the other great Hyundai vehicles at Hyundai of St. Augustine, Jacksonville Hyundai shoppers can call 888-292-9681.

Hyundai of St. Augustine, leading Florida Hyundai Sonata dealer, proudly serves the Jacksonville area offering a wide selection of Hyundai vehicles.

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata is an award winning family Sedan that has come a long way since its debut for 2011. Florida Hyundai Sonata shoppers can expect a more spacious interior as well as a roomier cargo area due to a step up in class. Sonata moved from midsize to full size after beating government standards at 120.2 cubic feet. However, there is one thing missing from previous Sonata models that you will not find for 2011; a 6 cylinder engine.

2011 Hyundai Sonatas are manufactured only with 4 cylinder engines that maintain the same performance and high tech specs as its competitors such as the Camry and Accord both equipped with 6 cylinder engines. According to Hyundai 6 cylinders were injecting fuel behind the intake valves. “V6 engines are going away with the dinosaur,” says John Krafcik, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America.

Hyundai of St. Augustine has offered years of reliable and affordable Hyundai vehicles and recommends the 2011 Sonata to all perspective Hyundai buyers. A re-vamped stylish interior and exterior including a 5 star safety rating fits the needs and wants for all shoppers.
