Hyundai revealed pricing an specs of the new Sonata Turbo for the American market. The Sonata 2.0T features Hyundai’s first four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engine, which makes 274 HP and 269 lb-ft of torque, and yet averages 33 MPG. This engine uses an advanced twin-scroll turbo system design that minimizes turbocharger lag while maximizing combustion efficiency and power output. Pricing starts at at $24,145 MSRP for the Sonata SE 2.0T and $27,045 for the Sonata Limited 2.0T.

“When we first showed the Sonata Turbo earlier this year, we promised more horsepower than our V6 competitors, with great four-cylinder fuel economy, all for under $25,000,” said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America president and CEO. “With the introduction of the Sonata 2.0T, we’re delivering on all three of those commitments, with an MSRP of just $24,145 for an incredibly well-equipped Sonata 2.0T SE.  The new Sonata lineup demonstrates what Hyundai’s Blue Drive approach to fuel economy leadership is all about – game-changing products with industry-leading fuel efficiency that aren’t compromises or low-volume ‘special-fuel-economy’ marketing ploys.”
