The Sonata nameplate was around since 1985 and it was produced by the South Korean manufacturer, Hyundai.
The mid-size sedan was one of the easiest to maintain in its class.
In 2004, the fifth generation of the Sonata was launched in Korea. It was based on the NF project, featuring a new platform.
The Sonata offered a variety of engines to choose from: a 2.4-liter developing 164 hp, a 3.3-liter V6 with 237 hp and a 2.0-liter engine that was only available in Korea.
The Sonata offered great seating space for 5 adults and the trunk size was great for longer journeys.
Considering the starting price of a Sonata, a fair $17,000, the sedan offered a nicely finished interior with intuitively placed controls.
Available with three trim levels, even the base model was well equipped with air conditioning, side-impact airbags, power mirrors, power locks with keyless remote, cruise control, power windows and others. The 2.4-liter standard engine could be mated to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission that cost $800.
The top of the range, the LX model, brought lots of features and included leather upholstery, an automatic climate control and an 8-way power driver’s seat.
Additionally, the Sonata could be equipped with a power tilt-and-slide glass sunroof, anti-lock brakes and an electrochromic rear-view mirror.
