About this model

2011 Hyundai Sonata

Середньорозмірний седан · generation 2015–2024

Our takeМожна брати, але ТІЛЬКИ якщо в Carfax є запис про engine replacement по recall (Theta II 2.4L). Без цього — пасткa: двигун може встати в будь-який момент. 2.0L Turbo — без проблем з recall.

Strengths

10-річна гарантія на двигун в США — машини з аукціону часто ще в гарантії
Найбільший салон в класі — більше за Camry / Accord
2.4L GDI — простий двигун без турбо

Weaknesses

Theta II 2.4L GDI (2011–2018) — масовий рекол через виробничий дефект (Engine seizure)
Низька залишкова вартість в Україні
