Slide in Hyundai's 10-year, or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and the fact that this manufacturer is raking in all kinds of quality awards and the Azera is just another reason to respect this progressive - and aggressive - Korean maker.
(Hyundai is no stranger to quality awards of late.) The new Sonata sits on a new platform, has two new engines, a new transmission and a new suspension.
The 2.4-liter four-cylinder comes from Hyundai's "Theta" engine family and sends 162 horses to the front wheels, while the 235-horsepower 3.3-liter V6 is the first of the new "Lambda" family.

For many years Hyundai had based much of its engine design and development on Mitsubishi technology but with its active partnership in GEMA (reputed to be the largest engine programme in automotive history), the Korean major now has a very strong new generation engine which is the one brought for duty in the Sonata.
This Theta engine (as designated by Hyundai) features die-cast aluminiurn alloy cylinder block and head and will be available in 1.8-litre, 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre displacements and it is the largest of the trio which Hyundai is bringing to the Middle East for fitment in the new Sonata.
Right from firing the engine to life, shifting into drive and then moving away, the silent manner in which she gets going doesn't prepare you for the time when you put pedal to the metal and the 1532kg saloon sprints away with alacrity.

Although it no doubt confuses a world accustomed to identifying the size of the engine in a BMW by the numbers on the deck lid, both the new 325i and 330i use the same all-new 3.0-liter engine that's rated at 215 and 255 horsepower, respectively.
For this assault, Lexus tossed the 215-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine used to power the previous IS and enlisted a base 204-horsepower 2.5-liter V6 (IS 250) to drive the rear wheels (or all four if AWD is selected).
Equipped with all-wheel drive, a 250-horsepower 3.0-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine and a five-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control, the B9 is all Subaru, especially in the looks department where this five-or seven-passenger sport-ute defies description with its high-mounted fender lights, Alfa Romeo-style grille and heavily creased side panels.
