Hyundai Sonata features

The first generation from 1985 distributes power from the engine to the rear wheels. This rear-wheel drive is rapidly replaced by a front-wheel drive front-wheel drive to enlarge the car's interior, but also to provide better roadholding and lower fuel consumption. The 2.0 L gasoline engine engine equips most models until the fifth generation, which introduces a diesel variant available from March 2006: a 2.0 CRDI 140 hp. The gasoline engine was discontinued in October of the same year.

As far as transmission is concerned, we find the manual gearbox or automatic automatic gearbox from the Sonata's launch. The manual gearbox comes in five speeds, with the 2.0 16S GLS Comfort 125 HP and up to 140 hp with the 2.0 CRDI 140 MS DESIGN with six speeds. The four-speed automatic gearbox equips the 2.4 PACK LUXE which delivers 160 hp at 5800 rpm.

How do you look after the transmission of your Sonata?

A vehicle's transmission system is an assembly of mechanical parts whose purpose is to transmit the power generated by the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels It increases the wheels' ability to rotate, whether at walking pace or at high speeds. Since this mechanism plays a key role in the smooth running of a car, it's important to preserve it by observing the following recommendations:

  • Regularly check the level and appearance of the transmission oil ;
  • Be alert to certain warning signs such as unusual noises when shifting gears, a burning smell, difficulty manipulating the gearshift or a general drop in vehicle performance;
  • Drive smoothly avoid sudden acceleration or braking, and apply sufficient pressure to the clutch pedal before changing gear;
  • Bring the vehicle to a complete stop before engaging forward gear or reverse gear in the case of an automatic transmission;
  • Use neutral in traffic jams or at red lights.
