What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2020 Hyundai Sonata

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Sonata's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Sonata’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2020 Hyundai Sonata, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Hyundai's recommendations.
