Hyundai Sonata Mechanical Review

Подробнее о видео

Here’s an in-depth look inside the new Hyundai Sonata to see what’s inside and how it works!

In this video we take a technical look at the mechanicals of the Hyundai Sonata, such as the engine, transmission, exhaust, cooling system, steering, brakes and suspension system. The vehicle featured here is a 2022 Hyundai Sonata Sport optioned with the 1.6L turbocharged 4 cylinder and 8 speed automatic transmission. Mechanically this car is similar to the Kia K5 (Optima).

The engine is transversely mounted for front-wheel drive, although enough space exists in the floor pan for a future AWD variant.
The exhaust setup consists of a small turbocharger at the firewall side of the engine that increases air intake flow going to the engine. The intercooler is housed in the first third of the engine bay, beside the radiator, with no dedicated cooling fan. The cooling system consists of a belt driven water pump and electronic thermostat, in addition to oil coolers for the engine and transmission. The transmission itself is shift-by-wire, while the engine is a typical 4 cylinder with dual overhead cams, variable valve timing and cam driven vacuum and direct injected fuel pumps. The suspension is a simple McPherson strut style up front, with a multi-link rear end.

Overall the Hyundai Sonata has an easy to maintain nature, with most components easy to access. However if one is considering owning it long term, there are some material and build quality concerns that is questionable for durability that Hyundai should address.

Apologies for the wind noise in this video. It was shot during a winter windstorm in Toronto.
