XXII. A. Read the text about Hyundai Sonata. Make up a plan for resuming the text. Resume the text.

Sonata is a front-drive mid-size sedan with standard dual air bags. While the previous generation was built in both South Korea and Canada, the new one is built only in Korea.

At 185 inches overall, the new model is less than an inch longer than the original Sonata. Wheelbase, however, has grown two inches to 106.3, with most of the additional space used to increase rear leg room.

Two engines are available, both based on Mitsubishi designs. Base engine is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that has been substantially revised for the new model to produce 137 horsepower, nine more than previously. The 4-cylinder is standard on the base model and the GL. On the base model, it’s available with a standard 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic; on the GL it comes only with the automatic.

A 142-horsepower 3.0-liter V-6 is standard on the GLS and optional on the GL and comes only with 4-speed automatic transmission with electronic controls that change shift points based on how the car is driven.

Anti-lock brakes are optional on models with the V-6. Sonata meets the more stringent federal side-impact standards. Standard equipment on all the models includes air conditioning and a stereo with a cassette player.

XXIII. A. Work with a partner. Read the text about Jeep Cherokee and ask and answer questions about it (Make up 10-12 questions).

Cherokee is equipped with a standard driver-side air bag for all models and reclining front bucket seats for the base SE model as its main changes for its 12th model year. Cherokee comes in 3- and 5-door wagon body styles, both available with rear- or 4-wheel-drive. Three price levels are offered; SE, Sport, and Country., the latter only as a 5-door model.

Base engine on the SE is a 130-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder. Standard on the Sport and Country, and optional on the SE, is a 190-horsepower 4.0-liter inline 6-cylinder. A 4-speed automatic is optional with the 6-cylinder engine. There has been no optional automatic for the 4-cylinder engine in recent years.

Four-wheel anti-lock brakes that work in both 2- and 4-wheel drive are optional with the 6-cylinder engine.

Cherokee offers two 4-wheel drive systems. Command-Trac, a part-time system for use only on slick surfaces, is available on all models. Sport and Country models with the automatic are available with Select-Trac, a full-time system that can be left engaged on smooth, dry surfaces.

 

B. Read specifications of Jeep Cherokee. Ask your partner about 5-door wagon and answer his questions about 3-door wagon. Your partner will use information from File II, page 43.
