 After a maintaining a low-profile in the last year, Hyundai seems totally energized and rearing to go in 2010. Even though there were very few launches, new i20, and a few facelifts, Hyundai managed to be high on the sales front with its Flagship model i10. Hyundai Sonata, that was recently launched in the US market, has got pretty good reviews from the automotive media and car enthusiasts. It is creating quite a buzz among Hyundai lovers and other car buffs. Hyundai has confirmed that they would be launching the Sonata sedan in Australia as Hyundai i45 in the 2nd quarter of 2010. Since Sonata has adopted Hyundai’s European nomenclature, it will be known as Hyundai i45 on the continent “Down Under”. The all-new Hyundai i45 features Hyundai’s brand-new styling approach called the “fluidic sculpture”. It has got modern powertrain technology and new luxury features. In spite of all this jazz, Hyundai i45 be your one of the best values for money. According to Hyundai, the mid-size sedan i45 has the same technical specifications as the Sonata sedan launched in the US. The i45 is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission mated to new 2.4L Petrol Direct Injection (GDI) four-cylinder engine. It also offers the best-in-segment fuel economy ratings and provides class-leading safety features for the driver and passengers. So what is it that makes the i45 different from the Sonata? Nothing apart from the location where Hyundai builds them. While the US-spec Sonata is manufactured at the Hyundai plant in Alabama, the one to be launched in Australia are built at Hyundai’s plant in South Korea. “We are very excited to be launching the all-new Hyundai i45 mid-sized sedan in Australia in the coming months, said Oliver Mann, managing director at Hyundai Motor Company Australia. “The all-new Sonata is already breaking sales records at its home South Korean market and receiving awards in the U.S. market, so the all-new i45 sedan is also expected to make a considerable impact in the competitive Australian mid-sized segment.” So much for adopting a different name!
