2014 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Price Release Date - The Sonata Hybrid interior scores big with the overall improvement of standards and technology, zxcvq but we observed some chinks in his armor. The biggest problem is the steering wheel and shift knob rubber, which makes the cabin feel like a trip to the otherwise impressive Walmart clearance rack. Adding leather to the items most touching another driver takes $ 5,000 Premium Package. Sure, the Ford Fusion Hybrid starts at $ 28,600 ($ 2,670 more than the Sonata), but at least come standard with leather steering wheel and shift knob, plus many standard features that can only be had with the Hyundai Premium package. 2014 Hyundai Sonata will release in late 2013. Base price around $20,895-27,595

Sonata Hybrid is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 166 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 154 pound-feet of torque at 4250 revs. qwwxz As with other hybrids on the market, engine 2.4-liter Sonata Hybrid goes on the more efficient Atkinson cycle, the intake valves are closed late to give you shorter compression than traditional Otto cycle engine. But unlike many other hybrids that use electricity continuously variable transmission, Hyundai has chosen to marry powertrain with a six-speed automatic transmission that is more conventional.
EPA says that the Sonata Hybrid owners can expect fuel economy numbers of 40 mpg highway and 35 mpg in the city. zxcqw Our experience with hybrid Hyundai is not quite in the range of the numbers, because we managed 33.5 mpg in mixed driving, which falls under the EPA combined rating of 37 mpg. We're not all that impressed with the results, and we think that some entry mid-size diesel would eclipse the combined score of 33.5 mpg.
