When Hyundai debuted the new 2011 Sonata in 4-cylinder trim, the company announced that it would not introduce a V6 model. The Korean automaker was still planning to go head-to-head with its V6-powered competitors, however, and today we found out exactly what with.

Just unveiled at the New York Auto Show, the new 2011 Sonata 2.0T is the first Hyundai to get turbocharging and direct-injection. As the name suggests, the engine is a small 2.0-liter 4-cylinder and when combined with a twin-scroll turbocharger and Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology it makes a class-leading 274-hp and gets 34-mpg on the highway. City fuel economy is set at 22-mpg. As for the turbocharged engine’s torque number, it is equally impressive, rated at 269 ft-lbs from just 1800 rpm to 4500 rpm. Better yet, it does all this on regular fuel.

Helping to deliver both impressive fuel economy and performance is Hyundai’s new six-speed automatic transmission, with Hyundai’s Shiftronic manual shifting. Plus, all 2.0T models come with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

Added advantages to this setup include a lighter overall chassis. Not only does the turbocharged 4-cylinder weigh less than a V6 engine, but because Hyundai never had to design the car’s frame to carry a heavier V6 motor, the basic platform weighs less. And a lighter overall curb weight results in improved fuel economy and acceleration, not to mention handling and braking. Hyundai lists the new Sonata 2.0T at 3,338 lbs, making it the lightest of its competitors. In fact, with a weight to power ratio of 12.2 lbs per hp, the Sonata 2.0T has a better setup than the new Camaro V6.

Pricing for the 2.0T model has yet to be released but we expect it to be competitive with, if not undercut, current V6 offerings from the main competitors.

Just saw a new sonata today. This engine will definitely give it an edge.
When's the gen coupe getting a 274hp 4 cylinder?

yea, when comparing most other manufacturers need a 3.5L V6.

Wow newer cars are really improving fast. Hyundai will be as big as Honda and Toyota soon.

Probably never, because if it does, than who the hell would buy the 3.8?:p

twin scroll...

turbo 4 sedan... this > current legacy GT at this rate.

cant wait till they shove this in genesis 2.0GT coupe... that'd be awesome.

downhiller// apparently theyre selling more 3.8's than 2.0's right now.. according to white rock hyundai.

if they shove this engine into the Gen Coupe then they'll have to introduce the Gen Coupe V8 to push the whole line upwards.

simple.

impressive number, but probably sluggy transmission. I want to see the 1/4 mile first

I saw the new Hyundai Sonata commercial at the movie theatre and my root beer literally came out of my nose.

It LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

i dont like the front end, but other than that it seems pretty nice

i like the Tuscon

Reminds me of the CLS AMG esp the rear quad tip shot.

looks kinda ugly to me
nice numbers though..definately making the honda fans jealous

love the rear, but the front needs something... can't say exactly what though... something is just not right about the front

^ Agreed.

I think its time to maybe reconsider Hyundai into my possible next car list.

the front desperately needs a lip kit to bring the lowest part of the front end in line with the bumper.

that's a Sonata?
finally, the first original design since the Tiburon.

that's a sexy car in deed! if only it was RWD it'd be a godsend.

Looks like Hyundai half-melted a Passat CC with a Jaguar XF to come up with this monstrosity. And really, Hyundai, quad exhausts? Is that one pipe for each firing cylinder?

that exhaust is aftermarket full catback by 7ism, not oem silly goose :haha:

I'd rock this over an Accord/Camry/Altima.. That black one with BBS rims is insane
