Hyundai will launch its all-new Sonata midsizer in mid-February with two engines in its line-up: a 2.4 litre naturally aspirated petrol four-cylinder with 138kW of power, and a flagship 2.0 turbo petrol four with 180kW.

The latter engine is Hyundai's first non-performance application of a direct-injected turbo petrol engine in this country, and sports enough grunt to give the Sonata the title of most powerful four-cylinder midsizer in Australia.

It's certainly a long way ahead of its major rival the Toyota Camry, whose naturally-aspirated 2.4 litre four produces 135kW. Ford's incoming all-new Mondeo is expected to come close, however, with a 177kW 2.0 turbo.

However as powerful as it may be, the Sonata turbo won't be the most muscular in its segment. Nissan's Altima Ti-S is equipped with a 183kW 3.5 litre V6, and the Volkswagen Passat V6 FSI comes out on top with its 220kW 3.6 litre narrow-angle V6.
