Power with Precision
Sonata dials it up with a choice of two new and improved
powertrains mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. Gear selection is
controlled by a new shift-by-wire selector that makes for safer, more
precise and fool-proof gear changes and its smaller footprint clears up
valuable space on the center console. This same push-button convenience
is brought to the electronic parking brake which comes with auto-hold
that allows the driver to remove his foot from the brake pedal during
stops to relax the leg muscles while maintaining brake pressure.
