Hyundai wasn't the first automaker on the hybrid scene. But our engineers won't settle for second-best, either. The new 2012 Sonata Hybrid features state-of-the-art lithium-polymer batteries that are 25% lighter, 40% more compact and 12% more efficient than nickelmetal-hydride batteries used in hybrid versions of Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion. All packed into a sleek, wind-cheating design with a .25 drag coefficient that bests many sports cars. Feeling juiced already? Wait, there's more.
Our lithium-polymer battery also has a greater power density: It suffers less than 10 percent degradation of charge after 300,000 miles of testing. The battery packs smaller size, coupled with its flat configuration, also makes it easier to cool and less likely to overheat. All of which translates into a car that operates on electric power more often up to 62 mph on batteries alone and for longer periods of time.
Beyond its innovative hybrid technologies, Sonata is also the first vehicle in its segment to offer heated rear seats and a panoramic sunroof. It's one of the first in its segment to integrate Bluetooth® hands-free phone as standard equipment.
