This is the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line and its presented here in Hampton Gray and it has a N Unique Sport Front Seats with Leather and Dinamica Seating Surfaces and it has a MSRP of $34,534
Hyundai says this is the most powerful Sonata ever and it’s powered by Smartstream 2.5 L Turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine with Gas Direct and Multi Port Injection and it has Continuously Variable Valve Timing all in to produce 290 hp and 311 lb ft of torque.
It’s driven by a N 8-speed Wet Dual Clutch Transmission w/ Paddle Shifters and Drive Mode Select and it is FWD
Now, in my reviews I always mention the horsepower and torque numbers that a vehicle has, but what does that really mean and how does it apply to how you use the vehicle.
What exactly is Horsepower and Torque?
Horsepower is a unit of measurement used to denote power or the “rate at which work is done” by an engine or motor. Your car’s horsepower denotes how quickly that work can be done with more power allowing for quicker work.
Torque is force multiplied by distance. In the case of cars, “the rotational equivalent of linear force.” Essentially, it’s the amount of force applied to an object with a twisting motion, such as a motor applying force to a crankshaft, which in turn, rotates your tires.
So, what’s the difference between horsepower and torque?
The two are very much two sides of the same coin as one goes with the other…torque being the force and horsepower being the rate at which that force is done. The difference is torque is doing the work, while horsepower is how fast that work is being done.
So, now you know.
