Hyundai today took the wraps off of its first hybrid for the U.S. market at the 2010 New York Auto Show – the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is the new kid on the block, but it\u2019s not a follower,\u201d says John Krafcik, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America. \u201cIts full parallel hybrid configuration and breakthrough lithium polymer batteries offer a new take on traditional hybrid design, while its unique design sets it apart from the mid-size hybrid pack.\u201d<\/p>\n

What does Krafcik mean? The Hyundai-developed Hybrid Blue Drive architecture underpinning the Sonata Hybrid is a full parallel hybrid drive system, which can operate on an electric motor, gasoline internal combustion engine, or a combination of the two depending on how the owner of the car drives. Nothing new right? Just wait until you see what the system is capable of.<\/p>\n

So let’s get down to the geeky side of it. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata is powered by a 2.4L Theta II engine making 169-hp at 6,000 rpm and 156 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. It is mated to an electric motor that makes additional 40.2-hp and 151.2 lb-ft of torque. Working together side-by-side, both units develop a total output of 209-hp at 6,000 rpm and 195 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is capable of achieving a fuel-economy of 37\/39 mpg (city\/highway). It can also operate in EV-only mode at speeds of up to 62 mph.<\/p>\n

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will go on sale alongside the Sonata 2.0T<\/a> later this year.<\/p>\n
