Hyundai has priced up its new 2018 Sonata Hybrid, and if you're in the market for both fuel efficiency and value at the dealership this might be the sedan for you.

The all-new 2018 Hyundai Kona is the new kid on the block with plenty to offer first-time new car buyers on a budget. Mind you, don’t let my use of the word budget and a starting price of $20,450 imply a lack of style, creature comforts, safety, or even that it’s cheaply built. Those opting to fully spec out the Kona - as was the case for our test car, fittingly, on the Island of Kona, Hawaii - will be nothing short of delighted, just as long as their expectations are in check.
We have already talked a bit about the Hyundai Kona electric SUV when it was first announced back in February.

Hyundai may have its Genesis brand for its luxury aspirations, but the new Le Fil Rouge concept car suggests the automaker's designers aren't quite ready to give up the high-end market yet.

Hyundai has rolled out a couple of its green cars at the Chicago Auto Show. The two cars that were revealed at the show are the Sonata Hybrid and plug-in Hybrid models.

Hyundai has taken its high-tech fuel-cell vehicle called the NEXO and turned it into the world's first self-driven fuel-cell electric vehicle. The NEXO is a Level 4 autonomous vehicle and a trio of the SUVs have completed a drive that spanned 190 km from Seoul to Pyeongchang completely self-driven.
Hyundai's Genesis brand is about to leave the nest, with the automaker informing dealers that it plans to open standalone retail locations to better distinguish the marque.
