     Sonata engineers decided that instead of creating a 4-cylinder and a 6-cylinder option like the competition, that they would simply get more power out of a better, fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine. The result is two of the most revolutionary engines available.

     The Sonata?s 2.4L Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine is the most powerful naturally aspirated 4-cylinder in its class. Delivering up to 200 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque, the 2.4L gets a segment-leading 35 miles from every gallon of gas. This allows it to meet Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards, and in some states, a version even qualifies for Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) status.

     The Sonata 2.0T is a game-changer. This 4-cylinder twin-scroll turbo pumps out 274 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque?more than the V6 Camry, Accord and Altima. And at 33 MPG, blows them all away on fuel economy as well. Why spring for an expensive, less-economical V6 when you can get more power and better MPG with the 2.0T?

 TWIN-SCROLL TURBO
The manifold and turbine housing of the Sonata 2.0T twin-scroll turbo is one cast stainless steel piece. This highly advanced design helps minimize lag and is lighter than a conventional turbo engine. Specifically engineered to recover even more energy from the exhaust than a single-scroll turbocharger, the Sonata?s turbo improves combustion efficiency, and provides low-engine-speed efficiency.
