APPEARANCE: Sonata’s
premium design and refined,
contemporary look create a
high-quality image that builds
pride of ownership.
The exterior design elements
combine with the standard
underbody cover to give the
Sonata a drag coefficient of
only 0.27.
COMFORT: Less drag means
less wind noise on the inside,
for a more comfortable interior
environment.
The lower the drag coefficient,
the more easily a vehicle can
slip through the air pushing
against it.
Sonata has the lowest drag
coefficient of any non-hybrid
vehicle in the midsize segment.
PERFORMANCE: Less power
needed to propel the vehicle
through the wind.
ECONOMY: Less power
means less fuel is needed to
propel the vehicle.
LED Daytime
Running Lights
(Standard)
Running lights are on when the
engine is running.
SAFETY: Makes Sonata visible
to other drivers, even during
daylight hours.
Running lights use LEDs (Light-
Emitting Diodes) instead of
more traditional bulbs.
APPEARANCE : Bulb size
and placement give the front
end of the vehicle a high-end,
contemporary look.
ECONOMY
: LEDs require
less power to operate than
traditional bulbs.
Headlights /
Automatic Light
Control
(Sport, Limited,
Sport 2.0T, Eco,
optional SE)
Sensors monitor light levels
and turn the headlight bulbs on
automatically.
SAFETY
: The driver always
has a bright view of the road
ahead—and other motorists
can see the Sonata as well.
CONVENIENCE : The driver
doesn’t need to determine
when it’s time to turn on the
headlights.
