First Motors has launched the latest Hyundai Sonata and Tucson models

Revamping the Hyundai line up, First Motors has launched the latest Hyundai Sonata and Tucson models in Bahrain during an event held at First Motors’ new Hyundai showroom in Mammer. Themed on Hyundai’s new design direction “Fluidic Sculpture”, the event featured stunning ice sculptures of the new Hyundai cars to the audience’s delight.

The launch of the 2 new models further strengthens Hyundai’s market position and offers more quality choices. Hyundai’s commitment to quality has greatly contributed to customers’ perception of the brand and resulted in increasing sales around the world.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Zayed R. Al Zayani, Managing Director of First Motors, said, “Hyundai is the fastest growing automobile brand in Bahrain and around the world. The new Hyundai models are perfect examples of Hyundai’s commitment to innovation and superior quality in offering unmatched ownership experience to the buyers.”

“At First Motors we are proud to associate with Hyundai to offer an extensive range of first-class automotive choices. We are also committed to continue owners’ experience with the support of world-class services”, said Mr. Zayani.

The sixth-generation Sonata with a daring design, state-of-art technology and superior build quality, promises an exceptional driving experience. It will be equipped a fuel efficient Theta II engine. A new feature called "ECO" coach will also promote fuel-saving driving habits. Fuel savings in the range of 15 - 17 % are attainable with the automatic "ECO" coach and 7% to 9% with the manual.

Sonata uses MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension systems for improved wheel control and a smoother ride. The Sonata is built with hot-stamped ultra high-strength steel while featuring six standard airbags.

“Hyundai Sonata has been a bestseller ever since the first generation model was launched in 1985. The sixth generation Sonata continues Hyundai’s legacy in designing cars focused on the owners’ lifestyle and preferences. Built-quality has been given paramount importance without compromising on the interior comfort and exterior appeal”, said Mr. Raed Mu’ti, General Manager of First Motors.

The all-new Tucson, which also follows the new "fluidic" design language, spots a sweeping, gently curved hexagonal grille. Aerodynamic tweaks include the addition of a rear spoiler which aids fuel efficiency.

Designers have carved out extra legroom and headroom in the new Tucson. A new dual-panel panoramic sunroof with UV blocking further enhances the feeling of spaciousness. The car will feature Hyundai’s newest fuel-efficient engines and the all-new six-speed automatic transaxle helps the company meet its goals of improving fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. Other new features include Push button start with smart-key proximity sensor, Foot Parking Brake for LHD A/T, Steering wheel-mounted audio remote control and 18” wheels.

The experience offered by Hyundai vehicles is further assured by Hyundai’s efficient after sales service. First Motors’ enhanced service facility in Sitra is fully equipped with state of the art diagnostic computers and machinery to ensure the highest standards of service excellence. The technological infrastructure coupled with highly trained auto technicians assures the best of attention and service to vehicle requirements.
