Hyundai Sonata Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1988–1993) — Second Generation
The second-generation Hyundai Sonata combines a traditional sedan layout with a choice of powertrains. When choosing one for everyday use, think about your usual journeys and whether you prefer automatic convenience or changing gears yourself.
Hyundai Sonata engine and transmission choices include the gasoline 2.0 AT, 2.4 MT and 3.0 AT, all with front-wheel drive. These examples pair automatic convenience in traffic with the alternative of direct control through a manual gearbox. On a test drive, check for smooth engine response and consistent transmission operation.
