Slowest 2015 vehicles: If you’ve spent any time looking around The Richest you will have noticed that most articles concerning vehicles are about the most expensive, the most luxurious or the fastest. We are obsessed with what expensive cars celebrities drive and which car maker has the largest engines and the fastest creations. We drool over the most expensive cars, vehicles which can cost more than the houses we live in.

All of this time staring at the biggest, best and most expensive has left little to room for considering the ‘lesser’ cars of the automotive world. What about the cheapest, the least reliable and the most gutless? More people drive those cars than the super cars we read about so maybe it’s time to give them a little space.
The following looks at one car category which is often brushed aside by the Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Aston Martins and McLarens. If there are the fastest cars from 0-60 mph then there must be a group of cars which are the slowest to accelerate to 60 mph. Sure, having the slowest accelerating car isn’t sexy or exciting but it’s a reality. Slow acceleration times don’t mean the car is garbage – as you’ll see – it just means that potential racers and those of you looking to burn that annoying car next to you from a stop won’t consider these as potential purchases. Looking through the following list there are some pretty nice and expensive vehicles listed. In all likelihood there is more than one car listed ahead which you wouldn’t mind having in your garage or driveway if the opportunity presented itself.
20. Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0: 8.0 seconds
In the automotive world cars get labelled with all sorts of badges and letters to make them stand out. The label ‘sport’ is often thrown into the title of the car to denote it somehow stands out from the rest. You might associate ‘sport’ with meaning the car is better handling, faster and an overall improved performer when compared with the other non-‘sport’ cars. In many cases it isn’t but with Hyundai they thankfully came through. The Sonata Sport 2.0 is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine which puts out 245 hp and 260 lbs of torque. That’s 60 hp and 82 lbs torque more than the standard 2.4L engine found in the other Sonatas. Unfortunately, for any performance enthusiast, these bigger figures only translate into a 0.4 second better 0-60 time.
