Hybrid Technology Is Chicago’s Favorite Hyundai Sonata

Shoppers at their local Hyundai dealership near Chicago will quickly notice the technology behind the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.  This car is able to achieve hybrid gas mileage while still maintaining performance in perfect unison.  This sedan does this by using advanced battery technology with a lithium polymer battery, which utilizes a polymer gel as the electrolyte.  With this gel, compared to competitors’ nickel-metal hydride batteries, the Sonata Hybrid is able to deliver the same power while being 25-percent lighter, 10-percent more efficient and using 40-percent less volume.

Using Hyundai’s Blue Drive, the battery powered engine works seamlessly with the gasoline engine.  This gas engine is a 2.4-Liter DOHC Theta II engine with an Atkinson Cycle to decrease pumping and friction loss, further increasing fuel economy.

When hybrid technology first came out, many of the cars did not scream “beautiful,” with their exterior design. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, however, has crisp and sleek lines that make it hard to compete with in terms of design.  With features such as a raked roofline, 16-inch or available 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and taillights, daytime running lights, fog lights as well as the Blue Drive badge, this hybrid is very distinguished.

The interior of the Sonata Hybrid combines state-of-the-art technology as well as plenty of space and comfort.  With the decreased size in the polymer battery, the interior has more passenger room, as well as more head room, leg room and increased storage in the trunk.  Other features include a panoramic sunroof, integrated Bluetooth, and the Homelink system incorporated into the rearview mirror.

Also in reach is the touch screen navigation system.  This system utilizes XM NavTraffic and XM Data Services, a rearview camera for safe backing up, audio system controls, as well as a Hybrid Display Mode to monitor your efficiency while driving.

Also in the dash of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid for sale near Chicago is the Hybrid Technology Display that uses a 4.2-inch TFT screen to let you see your average speed, average and instant fuel consumption and miles until an empty tank.  As an added feature, you can set the delay time to automatically shut off your headlights when you park or even set your doors to lock automatically when reaching a pre-set speed or the movement of the gear shift lever.
