Owner and Service Manual Review

The base engine in the front-wheel-drive the 2004 Hyundai Sonata is a competent twin-cam 2.4 liter four, providing 138 hp and 147 lb-ft. of torque. The optional 4-cam V-6, which also finds a home in the Hyundai Santa Fe, delivers its 170 hp smoothly. Both engines provide a decent level of performance, with the V-6 having an obvious edge.
