Sonata: where safety is primary

A stiff, strong body shell is at the core of Sonata’s safety standards. It is also equipped with the latest electronically controlled anti-lock braking system which proves to be helpful in avoiding accidents. In the event of an accident, the multiple air bags and other safety technologies ensure maximum safety of the occupants. The all new Sonata also has an impact sensing auto door unlock system as one of its safety features. 
 

 The Hyundai Sonata Embera gets its name from a warrior class in Central America, named the Embera, Hyundai Motor India said in a press release. The Sonata Embera sports a high-power 2.4 Litre, four cylinder, aluminum VTVT (Variable Timing Valve Train) engine, which churns out a power of 165 ps @ 5,800 rpm, ensuring fast response and solid acceleration. The Sonata Embera comes with a maximum torque of 23.6 kgm @ 4,250 rpm. Hyundai claims that the Embera has excellent pick-up and performance.

  The automatic versin of the Sonata Embera costs Rs 14.59 lakh

Security cell
Sonata’s body structure is technically highly advanced. Completely computer designed and engineered, the car makes use of different categories of steel that would crumple at the front and rear in the event of an impact – in order to absorb the energy –while protecting the occupants in the center section. Steel structures in the doors act as additional side impact beams. Dual front airbags, side and curtain airbags for enhanced safety
In the event of an accident, the multiple air bags and other safety technologies ensure maximum safety of the occupants.
    
Back-up sensors
They are there, but you have to look more closely. The sensors that activate the back-up warning alarm are now
body-coloured. Power window cut off
Electric window lift power is cut off if sensors detect there is an obstacle in the way – such as a child’s fingers 
 
Front Seatbelt Pretensioners
It pulls back occupants to prevent them from injuries due to sudden forward jerk, & maintains their optimal distance to facilitate airbag deployment
Load Limiter
It releases pressure of the tensed seat belts, thus minimising chances of secondary injuries (due to seat belt tightening)
Allows occupants to have cushioning of inflated airbag ABS (Antilock Braking System) with EBD
ABS prevents wheel lock-up during braking, thus prevents skidding & ensuring steering control 
EBD Distributes brake force efficiently between front & rear wheels
Minimised stopping distance- safe braking
 
   
   
Electro Chromic Mirror(Anti dazzle mirror)
The interior mirror has an electro-chromic device that prevents the headlamps of following vehicles from dazzling the driver.  
 

The Suzuki Reno

The Suzuki Reno debuted for the 2005 model year. With its emphasis on value, the Reno's long list of standard features quickly takes center stage. Many modern compact cars come standard with power door locks and windows, a tilt wheel and other convenience features, but the Reno goes a little further by offering such features as a micron air-filtration system for the cabin, a four-speaker CD stereo with MP3 capability and a height- and lumbar-adjustable driver seat -- all without checking a single box on the options list.

Clearly the car is an excellent value, even more so if you're looking for an affordable used car. Still, "excellent value" doesn't exactly bring to mind comfort or power. While the EX trim level is loaded and includes features like leather seats, remote keyless entry and cruise control, the Reno in any trim offers barely adequate performance, particularly in the acceleration department, with the Reno's subpar fuel economy adding insult to injury. Handling is also less than spectacular, as Suzuki has endowed the Reno with a soft, smooth ride at the expense of cornering ability. However, this is a trade-off that the average consumer will likely appreciate.

Because the 127-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is working so hard to keep up, a good deal of engine noise makes its way into the cabin. Competitors like the Mazda 3 are more refined and quicker by comparison.

The Reno's interior comes up short as well when compared to other domestic and import-branded small cars. The materials are low quality, and many panels simply don't fit correctly. Though the Reno's long powertrain warranty is a bonus, it's not really enough to overcome the car's faults. We suggest that shoppers looking for an inexpensive hatchback skip the Reno and check out more viable choices.

The Suzuki Reno has undergone a few changes since its '05 debut. 2006 brought the addition of a standard tilt steering wheel and new seat fabrics, while '07 saw the inclusion of a standard tire pressure monitoring system for all trim levels. Unfortunately for audiophiles, the formerly standard eight-speaker stereo was dropped altogether for '08, leaving a meager four-speaker unit in its stead.
