Overall Safety Rating

Frontal crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  *  * 

Side crash ratings:
Driver: *  *  *  *  *  Rear Passenger: *  *  *  *  * 

Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2006 Hyundai Sonata Review
"Hyundai's midsize sedan is redesigned for 2006 with fresh looks, more power, and standard curtain side airbags. Sonata's redesign adds 1.2 inches to wheelbase, 2.2 inches to overall length, and about 2 inches to height. Passenger space grows in every dimension with the biggest gain being 1.2 inches of additional rear-seat leg room. The trunk space grows 2.2 cu ft to 16.3. Sonata continues with a base 4-cyl GL model, uplevel GLS in 4-cyl or V6 form, and top-line LX V6. Both engines are new. The 2.4-liter 4-cyl makes 162 hp vs. 138 for the previous 2.4. The V6 grows from a 2.7 with 170 hp to a 3.3 with 235 hp. Transmissions comprise a 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic for the 4-cyl; a 5-speed automatic is standard with the V6.

Traction and stability control, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, front side airbags, and head-protecting curtain side airbags are standard on all Sonatas. GL rides on 16-inch steel wheels, GLS on 16-inch alloys, LX on 17-inch alloys that are optional on the GLS V6. The LX also includes heated leather seats, power driver seat, and automatic climate control. Like all Hyundai models, the Sonata comes with a 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. This evaluation is based on preview test drives."
