To replace the V6 power option for the Hyundai Sonata in certain markets, Hyundai has developed a turbo powered 2.0litre engine that has direct injection and is intercooled. Hyundai says the engine will output 274 horsepower (204 kW) and 269 lb·ft (365 N·m) of torque while achieving an efficiency rating of 34 mpg-US (6.9 L/100 km; 41 mpg-imp) highway, beating the specs provided by the 3.3 litre Lambda V6 offered in the previous model. The new model is badged as the 2.0T and is available on the SE or Limited trimlines. SE turbo models get standard dual zone climate control, and Limited models additionally get the steering wheel paddle shifters, chrome-tipped dual exhaust, and 18" wheels that are shared with standard and turbo SE models.
