Next up on our walk-around video series is the Hyundai Sonata LF 2.0, seen here in its range-topping Executive variant. Launched in December last year, the seventh-generation D-segment competitor will go up against the likes of the Honda Accord, Nissan Teana, Peugeot 508, Mazda 6, Kia Optima K5, Volkswagen Passat and of course, the venerable Toyota Camry – in short, not exactly the easiest segment to stand out in.
In Malaysia, the CBU Sonata comes in three trim levels. The base-spec Elegance B kicks off the range, which is then followed on by the ‘middle child’ Elegance and finally topping out with the Executive. All three variants are powered by a sole engine choice – the 2.0 litre Nu mill produces 154 PS and 194 Nm of torque and is mated to an in-house six-speed automatic transmission.
Zeroing in on the Executive-spec Sonata, goodies include 18-inch wheels wrapped in 235/45 tyres, bi-xenon HID head lamps, panoramic roof, auto wipers plus many more.
