Uhboy! The new Sonata gets worse mpg than the old one.
"The company said Monday it overstated the gas mileage of its revamped Sonata sedan in publicity material recently distributed to reporters in its home country of South Korea, the Associated Press reports. That would make a 6% improvement for the next version of the midsize sedan, which is also sold in the U.S.
Not so fast. The South Korean government put the gas mileage of the Sonata at 28.4 miles per gallon, not 29.6 mpg as Hyundai had estimated two weeks ago. The new version is reportedly heavier than the outgoing one, so eye-popping gas mileage stats are harder to achieve. The new Sonata is to have its debut at the New York Auto Show next month."
