The 2016 Hyundai Genesis and Sonata models have snagged a top distinction: The Car Book’s 2016 “BEST BET” award. Designed with you in mind, both models earned the accolade for their exceptional safety and performance qualities.
“By offering vehicles that respond to the safety and performance needs of today’s consumers, Hyundai continues to make a significant contribution to improving the market choices for the American car buyer,” said Jack Gillis, author, The Car Book. For nearly four decades, the book has helped guide shoppers in choosing the right car for them and their family. The reputable company judges vehicles on things like repair costs, safety, maintenance, fuel efficiency and insurance, with safety as their top area of scrutiny.
Speaking of safety, the 2016 Hyundai Sonata comes well equipped. Every model gets standard antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and a driver knee airbag, as well as stability control. In government crash testing, the Sonata received the highest marks with an overall five-star rating. The 2016 Hyundai Genesis gets all this and active front head restraints.
All-new Sonatas are available in SE, Sport, Eco, Limited, Sport 2.0T and Limited 2.0T trims. A 2.4-liter four that churns out 185 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque drives the SE, Sport and Limited. Even more power can be had with the 2.0 T that is moved by a 2.0-liter four that generates 245 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.
The 2016 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 model is powerful. With a 3.8-liter V6 that's rated at 311 horsepower and 293 lb.-ft. of torque, pulling ahead of other drivers on the freeway is not a problem. It comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, but can be outfitted with available all-wheel drive. Step up to the 5.0 Ultimate, and you get a brawny 5.0-liter V8 powerplant that cranks out 420 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque.
