In cooperation with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) annual ‘Look Before You Lock’ pediatric heatstroke prevention campaign, South Korean automaker Hyundai and its Genesis luxury arm will now offer rear-occupant alert technologies as standard in its vehicle lineup.
The coronavirus pandemic is forcing major automakers to reveal vehicles that would normally debut at major auto shows virtually. Hyundai is the latest automaker to reveal an important new vehicle for its lineup via a digital event with the official reveal of the all-new Kona N. The automaker describes the Kona N as the first "True Hot SUV."
The Hyundai Sonata does not seem like the ideal starting point from which to build a sports sedan, but clearly nobody bothered informing the automaker's N tuning division of that. Little else explains the 2021 Sonata N Line's legitimately surprising and genuinely impressive showing, taking a car we already know to be affordable, well-equipped, and potential of great green credentials, and adding a performance string to its bow.
Hyundai promised us a pickup and the 2022 Santa Cruz delivers, combining playful crossover styling with the practicality of larger trucks. Dubbed a "Sport Adventure Vehicle" by the automaker, it's shorter and narrower than rivals like Toyota's Tacoma and Honda's Ridgeline, but still manages to squeeze in a twin-level bed with a lockable box under the floor.
Look familiar? You’re looking at the Hyundai Pony, the first mass-produced and exported vehicle from the South Korean automaker. But unlike the Pony first unveiled in 1975, this particular Hyundai Pony has an all-electric powertrain hiding underneath.
We’re expecting the 2022 Hyundai Kona N to rattle the cage of performance crossovers with its bold styling and high-performance merits. And most recently, Hyundai spilled the beans on what to expect from its newest Kona N high-performance crossover.
After a first few awkward and ill-fated attempts, drone shows have become a bit more common these days, at least for companies and organizations that can afford to deploy as many drones possible to create a captivating nighttime show. If you thought Intel's 1,218 drones in the 2018 Winter Olympics was already breath-taking, then the more than 3,000 drones that lit up central Shanghai might be even more enchanting, courtesy of Hyundai's luxury marque Genesis.
The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is the 2021 North American Car of the Year, a fact which I know because the automaker had helpfully stuck a large sticker proclaiming it on the rear window. Then again, I can't really deny Hyundai the opportunity to crow a little at ousting better-known rivals from the compact passenger car top-spot, especially having seen just how comprehensively it did that.
Hyundai's handsome Ioniq 5 electric car will be ditching the driver, with Motional announcing the autonomous Lyft vehicles it's developing will be based on the recently-announced EV. The driverless EV crossovers are expected to go into deployment from 2023, with riders booking their trip through the regular Lyft app.
South Korean automaker Hyundai gave us a sneak peek at its 2022 Staria MPV last week, the next-gen replacement for its Starex ( or Hyundai iMax and Hyundai i800) minivan. From the onset, it's clear Hyundai wanted something different for its newest people carrier, in the same manner how Kia is forging the SUV route in penning its 2022 Carnival.
Hyundai is moving its crossover game to sporting heights with its 2022 Tucson SUV. The newest Tucson features a bold, striking design and is available in a plethora of powertrain options. The latest additions in the 2022 Hyundai Tucson’s growing lineup are the much-awaited N Line model and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant.
Kia and Hyundai probably didn't plan it that way, but with the unveil of the new Kia EV6 the two sibling automakers find themselves in an unexpected battle for who has the best-looking compact EV. Freshly revealed this morning, the EV6 will go head-to-head with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 - and leave electric car buyers with a tricky style decision.
