Hyundai adds a hybrid Sonata for 2011 - lithium ion polymer battery

With the launch of 2011 Sonata gasoline, Hyundai is the latest automaker to join the ranks of hybrids
Electric hybrid carNot the best.
However, modern models selling Toyota Prius hybrids use the same body and chassis as the latest generation of Sonata models listed earlier this year, and are also 2011 models.
While the car will be available later this month, Hyundai has not announced pricing yet, but I expect the hybrid model to start in the medium term$20,000s.
A similar Toyota Camry Hybrid starts at $26,575 (plus freight)
So Sonata won't be a bit more than that, probably a little less.
Sonata has its own modern direct Hybrid Blue drive system with four

The company says the modern house, which includes several "technology first", allows it to "provide performance and efficiency improvements that other hybrid cars cannot provide.
"Unlike most other hybrids on the market today, Sonata can reach 62 miles per hour in terms of electricity alone, generating zero tail tube emissions.
However, the range of electricity alone is limited to a mile or so, just like most other hybrid cars.
Sonata uses 1. 4-kilowatt-hour lithium-

But Hyundai says that even with lighter weight, Sonata's battery is 10% more efficient than Camry's.
Another advantage is the expected life of the battery pack, which is expressed in 10-

It also charges 25% longer than nickel. metal-

The operating voltage of the generator is 270 V, not 12 V used by the ordinary car alternator.
Like most other Sonata models on the market, the Sonata Hybrid has electric power steering and electric pneumatic
Air conditioning compressor.
In conventional cars, these systems are usually driven by belts on the engine, but for hybrid cars it doesn't work because the gasoline engine is designed to stop automatically when the car stops, keep the car off when running on the motor.
The Sonata Hybrid uses a gasoline engine.
The car, known as the Atkinson cycle system, is also used in many other hybrid models, including those used by Ford in Fusion cars and Escape crossover hybrid models.
On the sonata, the gasoline engine itself provides 166 horsepower and 154 feet horsepower.

Electric motors and gasoline engines are combined, with a power of 206 horsepower and 193 feet horsepower, respectively.

Not all motors and gasoline engines are available at the same time).
Hyundai says Sonata is also the lightest hybrid in its segment --3,483 pounds.
This is 237 pounds lighter than a Fusion hybrid.

There are some differences.
These include "reshaping the front and rear fascists with deeper air dams, extended rocker arm panels and lower wind turbines", "allowing air to flow around the body with lower resistance, the company said.
