The 2010 Hyundai Sonata SE is a 4-door family vehicle with class, practicality and fuel efficiency. It’s the perfect family car.
Starting at MSRP $18,700, this vehicle is affordable and easy to drive. It’s 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine delivers 175 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 168 pound feet of torque at 4,000 rpm. The 17.7 gallon fuel tank supports an estimated 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. Combined, the number is 25.
The 2010 Hyundai Sonata SE falls into the mid-size class and seats 5 comfortably. It also offers 16.3 cubic feet of luggage capacity and 40.1 inches of headroom in the front seats. Leg room for the front passengers stretches out to 43.7 inches while the rear passengers can sit comfortably with 37.4 inches of leg room. That’s not bad for a sedan.
The drivetrain is a 5-speed shiftable automatic transmission. The seats are leather with cloth upholstery, making it a comfortable ride.
Safety features include:
- 4-wheel anti-lock brakes
- Traction control
- Stability control
- Standard airbags for the driver and passengers
A step up from the GLS trim, the SE features 17 inch alloy wheels with performance tires. It also features a rear spoiler, a sport-tuned suspension, steering wheel mounted audio controls and 8-way power driver’s seat. Optional features include an auto-dimming rearview mirror, sunroof, Bluetooth system, and a 240-watt Infinity sound system with 6-CD disc changer.
Standard audio features include AM/FM in-dash single CD player with CD MP3 playback, element antenna and 6 speakers.
The SE trim also has two step up trim levels, the SE PZEV and SE V6. All three are front wheel drive, but the SE V6 increases the power of the Hyundai Sonata with a 3.3-liter 6-cylinder V6 engine, but it sacrifices a little bit in fuel economy. The interior and luggage capacity are the same as the SE with its smaller engine.
If you want a family car that gets around and looks pretty doing it, with practicality, fuel efficiency and comfort then the 2010 Hundai Sonata SE is a great pick.
