Hyundai Sonata Leaves India

Hyundai Sonata Discontinued

Hyundai has decided to withdraw it's best bet from the luxury D segment of Indian car space - the 3rd generation fluidic Sonata. According to Autocar the main reason behind discontinuing the model has been its almost non existent sales which averaged to about 10 cars per month. Hyundai Sonata is a wonderful sedan but it never really managed to secure a place in the hearts of the luxury car buyers.

For past many years Hyundai has been try to give itself an image makeover by trying to make a mark in the Indian luxury market. It launched some wonderful cars in D+ segment over the years to compete against established players like Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen but somehow Indian market continues to associate Hyundai with cheaper, value for money products. Hyundai will continue to sell Sonata outside India where in many places its giving hard time to its competitors with its bold looks, top notch quality and reasonable pricing.

Video: SRK drives new Hyundai Sonata in Don 2

Don Shahrukh Khan has done some breathtaking stunts while driving the new fluidic 2012 Hyundai Sonata in an action packed high-speed car chase scene of Don 2. The movie is a sequel to Farhan Akhtar’s super hit 2006 movie Don. This scene involves Priyanka Chopra aggressively chasing SRK in a Hyundai Santa Fe and is shot in the busy streets of Berlin. By the time the climax of the car chase sequence completed there were about 67 badly destroyed high profile cars like BMW 5-Series and Alfa Romeo Mito lying all around the shoot location.

While promoting his movie, SRK said, “Don 2 chase sequence brings the wow factor to the entire film. It is one the best sequence to be shot on Indian celluloid. Its grandeur and scale just mesmerizes audience.”

We found the video clip of this high profile car chase in Don 2 on YouTube but are not sure if its an official trailer or not. You can see it here.
