Hyundai Sonata Accessories & Parts

On the heels of the success of the Excel, the Hyundai Sonata was introduced in order to further entice car buyers into the efficient and economical ways of the Korean automaker. The exterior accessories of the Hyundai Sonata were designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of the famed ItalDesign company. For the first U.S. generation (and second overall), the model was outfitted with a base 2.0L inline four-cylinder engine mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. Trim levels for the United States were the GL and the GLS. The GL offered two different engine configurations, the 2.4L inline four-cylinder and the 2.0L. The GLS was equipped with a 3.0L V6 good for approximately 146 horsepower. In 1993, the third generation and second U.S. generation debuted. The base engine was a 2.0L inline four-cylinder, however, there were several inline four-cylinder configurations available for the model in different markets. All engines were once again mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic.

1998 ushered in the third U.S. generation of the Sonata. The base engine was a 2.0L Sirius inline four-cylinder that churned out 138 horsepower, while a 2.5L Delta V6 (170 hp) took over for the previous 3.0L configuration. The Santa Fe, Hyundai's inaugural SUV, premiered in 2001 and shared the same platform and parts with the Sonata. In 2002, a new DOHC 2.7 Delta V6 was introduced into the lineup comprised of all-aluminum and produced 173 horsepower. The 2002 Sonata also featured a Sirius II four-cylinder, which was responsible for up to 138 horsepower along with 157 pounds-per-foot of torque. Third generation versions of the Hyundai Sonata measured in with a wheelbase of 106.3 inches, a width of 71.5 inches, a height of 55.5 inches, and an overall length of 185.4 inches. Before the fifth overall generation (fourth for North America) of the Sonata hit U.S. shores, it first debuted in Korea for 2004. Built on an all-new platform, the new Sonata got an all-aluminum inline four-cylinder Theta engine. The base 2.4L four-cylinder engine produced 164 horsepower. A bolder 3.3L V6, rated at 237 horsepower was the higher-level option. Once again, the Sonata was directed through either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic.

The fourth-generation U.S. model made its North American debut in May 2005. The Hyundai Sonata parts and the model itself were produced at Hyundai's first U.S. plant located in Montgomery, Alabama. Longer and taller than the previous generations of the car, the fifth generation of the Hyundai Sonata shows off a wheelbase of 107.5 inches, a width of 72 inches, a height of 58 inches, and an overall length of 189 inches. The Hyundai Sonata parts were redesigned, and the company displayed the changes at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show. There were improvements made across the board to the exterior accessories, which included a new grille, new tail lights, new projector headlights, and an updated wheel/spoke design for the Limited trim level. The changes to Sonata parts preceded the arrival of the sixth generation (fifth for the U.S.), which was welcomed into showrooms for 2009. Trim levels were the GLS, SE, and Limited. The standard engine is a 2.4L direct-injection inline four-cylinder (198 horsepower and 184 pounds-per-foot of torque). A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the entry-level GLS, while a six-speed automatic comes with the SE and Limited, although it is also offered as an option for the GLS.
