It takes more than hard work,
dedication and vision to create the truly exceptional. It
takes something intangible. Something you can’t quite
put your hands on. It’s courage, guts, perseverance,
passion and fierceness of focus all wrapped into one.
And it’s this intangible characteristic that defines all of
us at Audi. It’s the driving force behind every pencil line
we draw, every calculation we make and every idea we
deem not good enough.
It’s why every inch and curve and angle has purpose.
It’s why we test our cars at the highest of speeds for
hours on end so they can be driven on any surface and
in any condition – rain, shine or white-out blizzard.
It’s why substance always wins the day. It’s why
cutting a corner, even a weld seam in the trunk,
would be sacrilegious. And it’s why for us scrutiny is
so deeply ingrained it’s like the very act of breathing.
This is Truth in Engineering. And this is Audi.

2011 Hyundai Sonata
A sophisticated new look
H yundai introduced its all-new 2011 Sonata at the
Los Angeles Auto Show, marking the North Ameri-
can debut of the latest version of the popular midsize
sedan, introducing Hyundai’s ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ design language
and an all four-cylinder engine lineup to the U.S. market.Sonata
is the second vehicle in Hyundai’s 24/7 version 2.0 product ini-
tiative (seven new models in the next 24 months) following on
the heels of the all-new Tucson.
The 2011 Sonata represents a modern approach to the tra-
ditional midsize sedan segment by using only advanced four-
cylinder engines, emotional design and luxury features offered
with Hyundai’s strong value proposition. The 2011 Sonata poses
some intriguing questions:
• Why can’t a smart, solid sedan also have modern, sleek, so
phisticated style?
• Why pay so much to get a taste of luxury?
• Why can’t an efficient four-cylinder engine give V6 power?
FLUIDIC SCULPTURE DESIGN LANGUAGE
Beginning with the 2011 Sonata and 2010 Tucson projects,
Hyundai designers set to work about three and half years ago on
Fluidic Sculpture. Fluidic Sculpture is a consistent, cohesive de-
sign language that will ripple through the entire Hyundai show-
room. In developing the initial Sonata sketches, Hyundai design-
ers considered the interplay of natural, fluid elements with more
rigid surfaces and structures to create the illusion of constant mo-
tion. Inspired by nature, Fluidic Sculpture injects sophistication
and dynamic angles into the shape of a vehicle and now serves as
the core of Hyundai’s future design identity.

four-cylinder horsepower and best-in-class torque.
Sonata delivers an impressive 23 mpg city/35 mpg highway
estimated fuel economy rating* with the available six-speed au-
tomatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC®. (When equipped
with the six-speed manual, the Sonata achieves an estimated
23 mpg city/34 mpg highway fuel economy rating). The pre-
liminary horsepower and torque ratings for the Theta II GDI are
198 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. In the SE trim which
includes a standard dual exhaust, the engine delivers 200 horse-
power. This high-tech, all-aluminum, 16-valve engine features
Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) on both camshafts
and a Variable Induction System (VIS) for better engine breath-
ing. A version of this engine also meets Partial Zero Emission
Vehicle (PZEV) standards.
Next year, Hyundai will add a 2.0-liter Theta II turbocharged
GDI four-cylinder engine and a 2.4-liter Hybrid Blue Drive
model featuring Hyundai’s breakthrough lithium polymer bat-
tery pack. Details about these powertrains will be announced at
the 2010 New York Auto Show. Sonata’s innovative segment first
powertrain lineup is a key driver of Hyundai’s goal to be the most
fuel-efficient automaker on the planet.
SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS
Hyundai’s commitment to making
the Sonata extremely fuel efficient
continues with a six-speed automatic
transmission with SHIFTRONIC
manual control or a standard six-
speed manual transaxle.
Hyundai’s all-new six-speed au-
tomatic A6MF2 transaxle helps the
company meet its goals of improving
fuel efficiency and reducing emis-
sions. Shifts are silky-smooth with
an option of manual control through
the SHIFTRONIC feature.
Drivers can access the SHIFT-
RONIC feature by moving the gear
selector into a separate gate. Push-
ing the selector forward or pulling it
rearward will shift the transmission
up or down sequentially, adding
to driver control. The SE trim will
also feature steering wheel-mounted
paddle shifters. A clear LCD read-
out on the instrument panel shows the gear being used.
Designed for transverse engine applications in passenger cars
and SUVs, the new compact transmission puts Hyundai into an
elite class of auto manufacturers who have designed their own
proprietary six-speed automatic transmissions. The strength of
the design is its unique layout which makes it smaller, more com-
pact and lighter than any other six-speed transmission on the
market today.
For the customer, the new six-speed delivers a performance
edge. In this application, it helps brings a nine percent gain in
fuel economy (35 mpg* versus 32 mpg). The gearbox has no dip-
stick because it is filled with automatic transmission fluid that is
good for the life of the vehicle under normal usage conditions,
thereby reducing maintenance costs.
Developed over a four-year period, this new six-speed auto-
matic is 26.4 pounds lighter than the five-speed it replaces. It also
is 1.6 inches shorter and considerably simpler, having 62 fewer
parts, which is a key to increased durability, lighter weight and
lower cost.
When it comes to transmissions, more gears are definitely bet-
ter. The addition of a sixth gear enables closer spacing between gear
ratios providing a better balance of performance and fuel economy
while the wide overall gear ratio helps deliver strong acceleration.
The gearbox has three planetary gearsets and a unique flat
torque converter that shortens the unit’s overall length by 0.47
inches. Four pinion differentials improve durability and further
minimize size.
Another example of engineering ingenuity is found in the
design of the hydraulic pressure control unit. Slight manufactur-
ing deviations from one solenoid valve to the next often times
cause fluctuation in the hydraulic pressure and affect shift preci-

sion and quality. The transmission featured in the Sonata cleverly
integrates adjustment screws in the valves that enable each of the
eight valves to be calibrated at the factory. This feature ensures
stable hydraulic pressure at any shift point which facilitates a high
degree of precision and control needed to deliver fast, smooth
and precise shifts throughout the rpm range.
SUPPLE RIDE, AGILE HANDLING
An advanced four-wheel independent suspension system com-
bines a supple ride with precise handling and steering response
for Sonata GLS and Limited models. Sonata uses MacPherson
strut front and multi-link rear suspension systems with increased
travel for improved wheel control and a smoother ride. All four
wheels are controlled by coil springs, fade-resistant gas-charged
dampers and stabilizer bars. The suspension has been optimized
to keep the vehicle flat during corning and provide quick turn-
in response. The rear suspension uses aluminum components to
reduce weight and improve suspension performance. The GLS
and Limited models also use advanced low-rolling resistance tires
to improve fuel economy while maintaining good ride and han-
dling performance.
The Sonata SE is an even more exciting and willing partner
for drivers who prefer sportier ride and handling dynamics. The
sport-tuned suspension features stiffer springs and larger stabiliz-
er bars, resulting in a 20 percent increase in roll stiffness. Unique
SE dampers, including monotube shocks in the rear are used to
control the more aggressive suspension. Low profile 18-inch tires
round out the unique chassis components of the Sonata SE.
All Sonatas have column-mounted, motor-driven electric
power steering that adjusts instantly to changing driving condi-
tions while improving fuel economy over a conventional steering
system. A quick-ratio steering rack is used for crisp feel on turn-

in. Sonata’s turning diameter of 35.8 feet is better than Camry,
Accord, Altima, Fusion and Malibu.
WORLD CLASS POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO
One of the program targets for the 2011 Sonata engineering
team was world-class power-to-weight ratio. Power-to-weight ra-
tio pays dividends in both performance and fuel economy.
Sonata is rich in ultra-high-strength steel, leading to world-
class body rigidity. The 2011 Sonata is 25 percent stiffer in tor-
sion and 19 percent stiffer in bending rigidity than its predeces-
sor, yet it is lighter than many midsize sedans, also offering more
interior room.
This focus on power-to-weight ratio pays dividends across the
board. The Sonata owes its ability to deliver both strong perfor-
mance and excellent fuel economy in great part to its impressive
power-to-weight efficiency.
ADVANCED STANDARD SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES:
PART OF HYUNDAI’S ASSURANCE COMMITMENT
Sonata is built from the ground up with safety in mind, with a
hot stamped ultra-high-strength steel body structure, advanced
airbag technology and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), deliv-
ering on Hyundai’s commitment to both active and passive safety
technology leadership. The prior generation Sonata was the first
midsize sedan with standard ESC when it launched in March of
2005. ESC was not standard equipment on Honda Accord until
the 2008 model year and the 2010 model year for Toyota Camry.
Once again every 2011 Sonata has lifesaving ESC as standard
equipment. This is important because the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that ESC
results in 35 percent fewer single-vehicle crashes and 30 percent
fewer single-vehicle fatalities in passenger cars.
The Sonata also features a state-of-the-art braking package.
The package includes four-wheel disc brakes and an Anti-Lock
Braking System (ABS) including Brake Assist, which provides
maximum braking force when a panic stop is detected, and Elec-
tronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to automatically adjust
the braking force to front and rear axles based on the vehicle
loading conditions.
Sonata features six airbags—including dual front, front seat-
mounted side-impact, and front and rear side curtain airbags—
along with active front-seat head restraints. The 2011 Hyundai
Sonata is projected to earn the NHTSA’s top rating of five-stars
for front and side impacts. Other passive safety features include
shingle-style rear-seat head restraints for improved visibility,
three-point seatbelts for all seating positions, front-seat seatbelt
pretensioners and force limiters, and a rear-seat Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system for child seats.
