1999 brought a redesigned Hyundai Sonata into the US market. Debuting with a rounded look and a smoother sloping front face, the 1999 Sonata looks much more appealing than its predecessors. Under the hood, the 1999 Hyundai Sonata inherited the four-cylinder engine of earlier models but increased from 2.0 to 2.4 liter and added a worthy 12 horsepower. GLS trims took on a twin-cam 2.5 liter that gave away 170 horsepower. Both engine configurations can be matched to two optional transmissions, the 5-speed manual or the 4-speed automatic.

 

Disc brakes are standard on the GLS along with further options for other safety equipments like antilock braking, traction control, leather upholstery, and power driver's seat. Base models roll on 14? tires whereas GLS take the 15? ones. Standard on the 1999 Hyundai Sonata are the power-assisted rack and pinion steering, heated power mirrors, intermittent wipers, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and door locks and premium AM/FM/CD stereo. These are the bare essentials that you need to take with you as you shop for a used 1999 Hyundai Sonata. Look for these specs while choosing for the right used Sonata though a few accessories added to it won?t hurt either.
