Owners manual for sixth generation (YF) Hyundai Sonata, model years 2011–2014. The Sonata was available at launch in three specifications, each powered by a new direct-injection 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that, with 148kW and 250Nm, delivered more performance than all of its rivals in the mainstream mid-size sedan segment. The sedan-only, front-wheel drive Sonata landed with a higher than expected starting price that pitched it directly against Suzuki's all-new Kizashi and the recently-facelifted Mazda6.
