Hyundai Sonata YF (6th Generation)

20112014 · YF · sedan

The sixth-gen Sonata that legitimately moved Hyundai out of the rental-fleet conversation. Fluidic Sculpture sheetmetal made the previous NF look a decade older overnight. US lineup ran the 2.4L Theta II GDI (198 hp) standard, with the 2.0L Theta II turbo (274 hp) on SE and Limited 2.0T trims. Hybrid joined the lineup with the Hyundai-developed Blue Drive system. Built at HMMA in Montgomery, Alabama.

Watch out: REAL ISSUE: The 2.4L and 2.0T Theta II GDI engines are at the center of Hyundai's catastrophic rod-bearing failure recalls (NHTSA campaigns 15V-568, 17V-226, plus the 2020 knock sensor detection software campaign). Check VIN against NHTSA before any purchase.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
