Hyundai Sonata in detail about fuel consumption

Hyundai Sonata pleased car enthusiasts with its appearance in the late 80s of the last century, but it did not immediately begin to conquer the public. Initially, the car was sold only at home, and only then the world saw its advantages. The only problem is only the fuel consumption of the Hyundai Sonata.

Overview

Starting from the second generation, Hyundai models received only good reviews from their owners, as new systems and technologies were applied. Weight was gradually reduced, which positively influenced the fuel consumption of Hyundai Sonata, the fuel system of the car and the safety system were improved.

Car operation

The technical characteristics of the Hyundai are quite satisfactory for those who opted for it. In the event of a breakdown or replacement of spare parts, it is not difficult to get them, and they have a more affordable price than similar models from other brands. The only item that does not suit everyone is the average gasoline consumption of the Hyundai Sonata.

More about fuel consumption

Like other cars, the numbers recorded in the Hyundai passport differ from those that can be found in the reviews of motorists. The official data says that Hyundai Sonata gasoline consumption per 100 km in the city - about 10 liters, on the highway - about 6. The real fuel consumption of the Hyundai Sonata in the city can reach 15 liters or more. The situation is the same with driving outside the city - real consumption volumes may differ by one and a half times.

How to reduce costs

The consumption rates of Sonata gasoline per 100 km range from 6 to 10 liters. In order not to exceed this figure, it is worth remembering that fuel consumption depends not only on the car, but also on several other factors:

• seasons of the year;
• driving style;
• driving mode.

It is worth considering all these indicators before complaining about your Hyundai or running to the workshop. In winter, the fuel consumption of Hyundai Sonata on the highway does not change much, but, on the other hand, it is well felt in the city. When driving short distances, the driver has to turn off and restart the engine much more often, which requires additional costs.

 

Recklessness, abrupt starts and sudden braking also affect fuel consumption, so if you want to save money, you will have to stick to a more restrained driving style. By the way, the Sonata itself is more consistent with just such a movement - quiet and calm, although the car is equipped with a good security system.

Another way to save fuel is to upgrade systems.

If your car consumes too much gasoline for no good reason, you can go to a car workshop, where professionals will inspect the fuel tank and everything else, and advise a good tuning that suits your car. After that, it is likely that the average gas mileage on Hyundai Sonata will decrease.

Сonclusion

The Sonata won over many with its design, economy and systems that are fully consistent with modern requirements. The high fuel consumption of the Hyundai Sonata can, if desired, be reduced and controlled. This does not require much effort, you just need to follow the advice and recommendations of manufacturers and more experienced motorists.
