2015 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Revealed

Hyundai’s all-new Sonata Hybrid has been unveiled in its home market of South Korea, with updated styling, improved economy and news of a future addition to the range.

The carmaker says the new model is more aerodynamic than its predecessor, with styling features unique to the hybrid model designed to maximise efficiency.

Combined fuel usage has improved by a maximum 0.5 l/100km (depending on the model and wheel size) to a low of 5.5 l/100km, with power coming from a 2.0 litre four-cylinder petrol engine combined with an electric motor.

Outputs for both power plants have increased slightly, with the petrol engine up 5kW to 115kW and the electric motor up 3kW to 38kW.
