The Hyundai Sonata sets the standard for midsize family sedans with sharp styling, class-leading comfort and generous feature offerings. Its value and reliability make it one of the most desirable vehicles in the segment.
Under the hood, base Sonatas feature a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine making 198 horsepower. Combined with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic, this is plenty of power for most driving needs.
Rear Door Lock Actuator
The rear door mechanism on your 2013 hyundai sonata has several components that work together to lock and unlock the doors. The smallest component is the door lock actuator, a motorized device that controls a set of gears that locks and unlocks your door.
The largest of the bunch is the door switch, which controls a magnetic circuit that enables you to lock and unlock your doors with your key remote fob, or a button on the dash or door panel. The best part about the door lock actuator is that it gets little or no wear and tear from a daily commute, so it will last for years to come.
While it may seem like a no brainer to replace your door lock actuator, you should still take a few things into consideration before making the plunge. This is not only an investment in your safety but in your sanity as well. Make sure you order the right one for your vehicle, or stop by your local Advance Auto Parts store and check out their door lock actuators in person to get a true feel for the newest and best.
Rear Door Motor
Sonata’s fluidic sculpture design language is echoed in the front end, where sculpted creases flow from the A-pillars to the grin-like grille. Headlight housings start at the outer edges of the grille, wrapping around the fenders and beyond the leading arch of the wheelwell to visually minimize the front overhang.
A narrow chrome strip runs across the front quarter panel and arcs up from below the door handles, finishing as an eyebrow for the taillight housings. Below that is a knife edge crease that sweeps from the front door and into the rear wheelwell, melting into the lower bumper element.
The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder delivers 198 horsepower (190 hp in California), or 200 hp in the SE, with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine is one of the class leaders on power, but it doesn’t sacrifice fuel economy; in fact, the Sonata’s standard 2.4 has some of the highest EPA ratings among mid-size sedans.
