Sonata

e-Brochure

Take every precaution.

Sonata leaps to the front of the race for a lighter, more rigid body structure by using more high-specification steel alloys than ever before. Not only is the body the stiffest ever, but it is 24kg lighter and quieter than previous generation models. That ensures Sonata meets and, in many cases, even exceeds the most stringent crash safety test standards in the world. Depowered front airbags are supplied as standard equipment but thoracic/pelvic airbags for the driver and front passenger are optional as are full-length side curtain airbags.

Sonata engine room structure and 9 air bag system

  • Multiple skeleton engine room structure

    Safety critical sub-substructures, particularly the dash crossmembers and A-pillars are made with hot-stamped steel to attain the highest possible rigidity and better withstand crash impact forces. The novel design even protects cabin occupants against the dangers of secondary impacts—the collisions that can often take place after the initial collision.

  • 9 airbag system

    Driver and front passenger are protected by depowered-type airbags that minimize the risk of injury caused by airbag deployment.
    Optional protection from side impacts is offered in the form of curtain airbags which provide head protection and thoracic/pelvic airbags that protect the driver and front seat passenger.

It knows before you do.

A road mishap may not be on your radar but Hyundai SmartSense is always ready for the worst. SmartSense encompasses Hyundai’s cutting-edge Advanced Driver Safety Assistance Systems(ADAS). ADAS has your back, protecting you with features like Lane Keeping Assist and Safe Exit Assist that are continuously on the lookout, working quietly behind the scenes scanning the road for signs of trouble. You may not be aware of that car in the blind spot, but Sonata’s Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist is perfectly aware and will alert you to its presence. Sonata ADAS technology loves you and protects you like family.

  • Sonata Safe Exit Assist (First in class)

    Safe Exit Assist (SEA)

    SEA blocks any attempt to disengage the child safety lock and prevents the rear door from opening when it is unsafe to do so. On detecting the presence of a rear seat passenger and the approach of a vehicle from the rear, SEA will also flash a pop-up message on the cluster and will issue an audible alarm, alerting the driver to the danger.

  • Sonata Surround view monitor (SVM)

    Surround View Monitor (SVM)

    SVM uses the AVN head unit to serve up a 360-degree birds eye view of the car and its surroundings. This optional system comes in quite handy when trying to fit the car into a tight parking spot.
