Additional Information about The All New Sonata 2005

Sonata has, over ten years now, been Hyundai's best selling car in Korea and many world markets, and the new Sonata steps into some very big shoes to replace an award-winning product. JD Power and Associates in 2004 initial Quality Survey picked Sonata as best in its class. Hyundai is determined to defend that high quality image with this successor.

It is worth noting that the research and development department of Hyundai Motors has allocated a huge budget to develop the new Sonata project under the code name NF, more so since this is the first Hyundai car to be produced in the USA, this new Sonata will go into production at the one billion US dollar plant that has been newly constructed in Montgomery Alabama.

The new Sonata combines modern and innovative design with strong and enhanced performance, two pillars that will allow the Sonata to outshine all cars in its segment, and which will reinforce its appeal to consumers. The new Sonata will undoubtedly gain the confidence and satisfaction of customers more than any other Sonata launched previously.

NF Project

Developed under the NF project codename over a period of three years and ten months in the making, the new Sonata has been thoroughly redesigned inside and out with a focus on quality, improved dynamic performance, which, of course, means all-new engines and suspension.

Looking at dimensions, Hyundai added 55mm to the overall length and extended the wheelbase by 30mm. This slight increase of size has been a major factor in creating a generously roomy interior. It now have an extra 10 mm of front legroom and a generous 30 mm increase in rear legroom, along with proportional gains (22mm front and 15mm rear) in headroom. The luggage capacity has also been increased to a highly desirable 462 liters.
