<div>The futuristic design of the <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/" rev="en_rl_none">new Tucson</a> with a bigger and wider body than the <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/" rev="en_rl_none">current Hyundai Tucson model</a>.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>Have you seen the Hyundai <a href="https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a29844077/hyundai-vision-t-concept/" rev="en_rl_none">Vision T</a>? At the 2019 Los Angeles auto show, the automaker showed this concept for a compact crossover that we thought previewed the 2022 <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/" rev="en_rl_none">Hyundai Tucson</a>. These teaser photos from Hyundai show that the production Tucson, won't be too far off from the Vision T.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>The exterior of the 2022 Tucson shows the grille that shares the angular pattern seen on the Vision T, with the headlights integrated into the design; Hyundai calls these Parametric Hidden Lights. The rear shot of the car shows the taillight stretching the span of the vehicle as a thin line just below the rear window. The vertical portions of the taillights deviate from the Vision T, as they are simple, narrow bars.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>Hyundai released just one photo of the interior, but the design is clearly visible. The infotainment screen unit protrudes slightly, with buttons that are flush with its surface. Air vents similar to those in a Tesla Model 3 appear to run the width of the dashboard.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>Hyundai has also released several details about its forthcoming compact SUV. Worldwide, the Tucson will be available in both long- and short-wheelbase models, but we expect to get only the longer version in the U.S. market. </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>While Hyundai holds back from giving any concrete dimensions, the automaker does say that 2022 Tucson’s body will be bigger and wider than the outgoing model.</div>

Hyundai i20 Makes A Sweet Family Carhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/hyundai-i20-makes-a-sweet-family-car2022-01-26T16:14:42.270000Z2022-01-26T15:58:26ZCar Craziness<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/d4d96b53-5be3-4ac4-9e7f-b47279bcb6c1/4026c601-94c1-1627-2500-a5cf8c5791ec/479a3ed2-2059-2dc7-f088-1ba69953b533.jpg" style="--en-naturalWidth:1980; --en-naturalHeight:920;"/><div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212121;">The Hyundai i20 is packed with standard features and drives with the kind of appeal we're typically used to in cars that cost a lot more money. Check out this great </span><a href="https://www.group1auto.co.za/hyundai/i20/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>review of the Hyundai i20</u></span></a><span style="color:#212121;">, as adapted from Wheels24.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212121;">The i20 will comfortably carry four adults and provide a respectable amount of luggage space. The i20 on which the below review is based on the 1.0-litre TGDI Fluid with six-speed manual transmission and two-tone paint. </span><a href="https://www.group1auto.co.za/hyundai/i20/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>This i20</u></span></a><span style="color:#212121;"> sells for R338 900 at </span><b><span style="color:#212121;">Hyundai dealers</span></b><span style="color:#212121;">. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212121;">The Hyundai i20 has undoubtedly become more avant-garde in terms of styling on the outside. It's a head-turner of note, and during the test period, it was showered with praise by friends, family, and neighbours for its looks. We like the compact nature of the car and its sharp lines and aggressive stance. It looks like a hot hatch, and it has a charm to it that is very alluring.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212121;">The </span><a href="https://www.group1auto.co.za/hyundai/i20/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai i20</u></span></a><span style="color:#212121;"> measures 3995mm in length, 1775mm wide and stands 1505mm from the ground. It offers a ground clearance of 170mm, which is not bad considering it's a classic five-door hatchback vehicle and not a crossover like the Kona. The trunk proves large enough at 311 litres for a weekend getaway's worth of luggage.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212121;">Being the range-topping Fluid model, you get all the features you need to ensure a comfortable trip. It has anti-lock brakes and electronic brakeforce distribution, but no traction or stability control systems. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212121;">The car's 1.0-litre turbo three-cylinder is a gem to experience. It produces 90kW and 170Nm, good enough for zero to 100km/h sprints in 9.7 seconds and a top speed of 190km/h. An average of 9 litres per 100km was achieved during the test cycle because we thoroughly enjoyed the sporty driving characteristics of the i20. We pretty much drove this car like it was a Toyota GR Yaris as it felt terrific in the hands and from the driver's seat and inspired confidence even though it didn't have electronic driving aids to leverage.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212121;">We particularly enjoyed the short-throw, six-speed manual transmission and the easy to actuate clutch pedal. In the right gears, you can safely overtake, and if you are gentle with the vehicle, you can use as little as 6.5 litres of unleaded per 100km. The i20 proved so convenient and so much fun to live with that we consider it one of the best alternatives to the class-leading VW Polo right now for less than R350 000.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212121;">If you're looking for a family vehicle and have one child, you can easily get away with living with an i20 for many years to come. We'd have the i20 in a heartbeat based on this test.</span></div>

The Hyundai Elantra We Wanthttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/the-hyundai-elantra-we-want2021-11-02T05:15:09.673000Z2021-11-02T05:09:56ZCar Craziness<div><div style="margin-top:15px;"><span style="color:#272222;">Hyundai unveiled the seventh-generation Elantra sedan abroad, while the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-elantra/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Elantra in South Africa</u></span></a><span style="color:#272222;"> has been discontinued. </span></div></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">Here’s what the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-elantra/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai Elantra</u></span></a><span style="color:#272222;"> has to offer.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/d4d96b53-5be3-4ac4-9e7f-b47279bcb6c1/0a3fd275-e26c-b9d1-0d26-c84c0cfe3ef0/59dcd523-1261-69ff-3570-2137c0acc5ca.jpg" style="--en-naturalWidth:700; --en-naturalHeight:464;" width="nullpx"/><div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><b><span style="color:#ff0000;">It looks striking</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">The new Elantra carries Hyundai’s latest ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design language, but with a twist. Labelled 'Parametric Dynamics’, the main element of this styling theme is the convergence of three surface lines at a single point; this is most evident on the new Elantra’s doors.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">Up front, the Elantra’s LED headlights merge into the large, cascading grille to form a single unit, while prominent creases on the bonnet lend the sedan a decidedly aggressive look. The silhouette is no longer of a conventional three-box sedan but more akin to a four-door coupé, with the roof gently flowing into the tail section. At the rear, the new Elantra gets T-shaped LED tail lights linked by an LED light bar that runs across the boot lid. When lit up at night, this rear-light arrangement forms the 'flying H logo'.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><b><span style="color:#ff0000;">It is roomier than before</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">The 2021 Elantra is based on Hyundai’s new K3 platform, which the carmaker claims brings in weight savings vis-a-vis the outgoing model. When compared to the outgoing model currently, the new car is 56mm longer, 51mm lower and 26mm wider, with a 20mm increase in wheelbase. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">The increase in length and width should translate into more interior space for all passengers. Also, Hyundai claims that despite the drop in height, the new Elantra has the same amount of headroom as the outgoing model, while offering more leg- and shoulder-room for rear-seat passengers.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><b><span style="color:#ff0000;">It has a feature-rich interior </span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">The new Elantra’s interior has a completely new dashboard design and a four-spoke steering wheel, as seen on the new Hyundai Creta. Top-spec Elantras feature twin 10.25-inch screens – one for the instrument cluster and one for the infotainment system – merged into a single unit. As seen on the upcoming new-gen i20, the Elantra features slim AC vents too, spanning the width of the dash.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">In terms of equipment, the new Elantra is loaded to the gills with features. Key among these are Hyundai's Blue Link connected-car technology, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, an electric sunroof, ventilated seats, 64-colour ambient lighting, a 'Digital Key' smartphone app (to unlock and start the car) and wireless smartphone charging. Apart from airbags, ABS and ESC, standard safety kit also include a driver attention warning system and forward collision avoidance assist. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><b><span style="color:#ff0000;">There are some interesting engines</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">For this seventh generation Hyundai decided to carry forward the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine from its predecessor. However, this engine is now paired with a CVT-automatic gearbox instead of the older torque converter unit. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">Hyundai offers a 1.5-litre diesel engine as an option, if there’s sufficient demand for it. The new Elantra is also offered with the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine from the new Creta SUV.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">Internationally, Hyundai offers a hybrid powertrain with the new Elantra – a first for the model. This powertrain pairs a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 32kW electric motor (powered by a 1.32kWh lithium-ion battery) for a combined output of 102 kw and 264 Nm of torque, and is mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#272222;">The </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-elantra/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai Elantra sold in SA</u></span></a><span style="color:#272222;"> was already a compelling package in the </span><b><span style="color:#272222;">midsize sedan</span></b><span style="color:#272222;"> segment. This new seventh-gen model promises to be a few rungs up on the desirability quotient.</span></div>

2021 Hyundai Venue Straightforward Reviewhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/2021-hyundai-venue-straightforward-review2021-09-16T05:25:42.058000Z2021-09-16T05:20:56ZCar Craziness<div>Any automotive engineer will tell you: Small, inexpensive vehicles are the hardest ones to make. Low selling prices mean small profit margins, which means small development budgets. Issues that could be improved or solved with a bit more work or more expensive parts go unaddressed when there isn't any money left in the budget. To make a good car at a bargain price, you have to compromise somewhere, and the 2021 <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-venue/" rev="en_rl_none">Hyundai Venue</a> shows how it's done right.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>No one expects a <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/rolls-royce/" rev="en_rl_none">Rolls-Royce</a> for R400,000 fully loaded, but expectations for entry-level cars have risen over the years, so they can't be disposable, either. The Venue comes out of the gate strong by focusing on emotional appeal. Editors appreciated the stylish exterior with its optional two-tone roof.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>We were also pleasantly surprised by the upmarket interior design and large standard infotainment screen. This top-shelf Denim trim level packs a lot of visual appeal for such an inexpensive car.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>Poke around a bit, though, and you quickly figure out where Hyundai found the money to spend on bringing fun design to production. Quality, soft-touch materials are strategically placed where the driver and front-seat passenger are most likely to look and touch, but everywhere else, it's hard, cheaper plastic.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/d4d96b53-5be3-4ac4-9e7f-b47279bcb6c1/42e97013-b256-3151-d017-a22202962d83/90bdf9fe-a41b-49cc-61c9-554886623417.jpg" style="--en-naturalWidth:470; --en-naturalHeight:340;"/><div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>And that's in the front. Sit in the back seat, and you'll discover far more of that plastic. Hyundai engineers clearly prioritized the front occupants, as even on this loaded model there are zero features for those sitting in the back—and almost as little legroom. You'll find the same plastic in the cargo area, which might as well come pre-scuffed from the factory considering the wear it'll show once you use it.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>Low-cost materials are to be expected in cars that start at R265,000, so fair enough. </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>The standard CVT (the six-speed manual is no longer available) does a good job of making the Venue jump off the line, but once you're moving. Pressing the acceleration harder makes noise, not more power. Its most redeeming quality is the fuel economy it returns, above 12.8l/km across the board. The price of that, though, is being relegated to the right lane for the life of the vehicle.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>Then there are the philosophical issues. For one, Hyundai does not offer all-wheel drive on any of the <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-venue/" rev="en_rl_none">Venue models in the range</a>. Although it looks like a convincing <b>little SUV</b>, this choice makes the <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-venue/" rev="en_rl_none">Venue</a> more of a tall hatchback car. We also were reviewing the most expensive Venue. If you're on a really tight budget, you'll have to settle for even fewer nice features.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>Still, we have to give the Venue credit. For R407,000 fully loaded, you get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a big touchscreen running Hyundai's excellent software, keyless entry and starting, lane keep assistance, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warnings, LED headlights, and a boatload of style.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/d4d96b53-5be3-4ac4-9e7f-b47279bcb6c1/42e97013-b256-3151-d017-a22202962d83/04c4fbc3-f58a-debb-42ed-aeca54c5c6cd.jpg" style="--en-naturalWidth:470; --en-naturalHeight:340;"/><div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div>Any car at this price is going to have compromises. Hyundai has tried to make the Venue's as livable as possible. We've seen better compromises, but we've also seen much worse.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>

2021 Hyundai I30 Facelift Reviewedhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/2021-hyundai-i30-facelift-reviewed2021-05-15T09:48:38.528000Z2021-05-15T09:43:22ZCar Craziness<div><h1><span style="color:#000000;">Hybrid engines and bold looks aim to propel the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-i30/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai i30</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> to centre stage in the family car market abroad. </span></h1><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/d4d96b53-5be3-4ac4-9e7f-b47279bcb6c1/6fa87ce8-3ca7-9094-cee5-816eb43e8071/91c5539a-ea17-2fb2-cd07-8f720c3c5e56.jpg" style="--en-naturalWidth:759; --en-naturalHeight:503;"/></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The freshly facelifted Hyundai i30 has followed the modern family hatchback playbook to the letter. First off, it has a funky new look that's designed to make it stand out on the road, and in new N-Line trim especially, with its mean front and rear bumpers, it does just that. Second, it features a mild-hybrid engine in the range, which should lower your running costs and add a bit more zip, to increase the size of your smile as you drive. And thirdly, its interior is now more digital than the space shuttle – i.e, you’re constantly connected to the internet, with a larger infotainment screen to see all of the information presented to you.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">All this is intended to push the i30 upmarket, to escape the chasing pack of family cars that includes the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, to zoom past the class-leading Skoda Scala and Seat Leon, and to challenge the Volkswagen Golf at the pricier end of this market. Has Hyundai done enough, though? Well, although you won’t be able to buy this updated </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-i30/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai i30 in South Africa</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;">, we’re sharing this review for all the i30 lovers in SA.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div><h3><b><span style="color:#000000;">2020 Hyundai i30 on the road</span></b></h3><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The 1.5-litre petrol engine mild-hybrid setup of this early prototype car is likely to be the exclusive preserve of sporty N-Line trim, which is designed to have the look of a toned-down i30N hot hatchback, but not the sky-high running costs. It’s certainly peppy enough, and, thanks to the small amounts of electrical assistance you receive from the get-go, has no trouble in getting you up to speed. Indeed, while a 0-62mph sprint time of 8.4sec might not sound overly quick, it is on par with the equivalent mild-hybrid Golf 1.5 eTSI 150, and makes this the fastest of the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-i30/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>regular i30</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;">s at </span><b><span style="color:#000000;">Group 1 Hyundai</span></b><span style="color:#000000;"> use to stock, by some margin. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Peak pulling power arrives fairly low down in the rev range, so there’s rarely any need to explore the rev counter’s upper reaches. That is a good thing because although it’s fairly hushed at lower revs, it’s noisier than the Golf 1.5 eTSI as the revs rise. That being said, noise and vibration suppression is something that’s very much still being worked on, so we’ll reserve final judgements for now.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/d4d96b53-5be3-4ac4-9e7f-b47279bcb6c1/6fa87ce8-3ca7-9094-cee5-816eb43e8071/69340897-325e-4614-7e74-747b157268b0.jpg" style="--en-naturalWidth:1600; --en-naturalHeight:1060;"/><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/d4d96b53-5be3-4ac4-9e7f-b47279bcb6c1/6fa87ce8-3ca7-9094-cee5-816eb43e8071/ef15aa30-aa7a-cec1-35f0-1c561a4a125a.jpg" style="--en-naturalWidth:1600; --en-naturalHeight:1060;"/><div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Changes to the i30’s ride and handling aren’t major; as is the case with the current car, it offers a supple ride over most surfaces, but major scars and potholes can send a thud through the car.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">This i30 feels a little more tied down through corners and more predictable than the current car; and, while the steering weight is a little hefty at times, it gives you a good idea of what the front wheels are up to. A Focus or Leon are still better choices for drivers seeking engagement, though.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">You’ll be able to order an i30 with either a seven-speed automatic or six-speed manual gearbox, and the latter offers smooth shifts with a satisfying action as you slot the lever into place.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">And what of those reduced running costs? Well, on a mixed route, which included both town driving and faster roads, and a liberal approach to the i30’s accelerator pedal, we managed 40mpg – similar to what we’ve seen from the Golf 1.5-litre eTSI 150 in the past. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/d4d96b53-5be3-4ac4-9e7f-b47279bcb6c1/6fa87ce8-3ca7-9094-cee5-816eb43e8071/0d668652-2ae3-dc88-d90e-cfa282429880.jpg" style="--en-naturalWidth:1600; --en-naturalHeight:1060;"/><div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div><h3><b><span style="color:#000000;">2020 Hyundai i30 interior</span></b></h3><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Some of the i30’s interior is still being finalised, but what we’ve seen so far represents a big upgrade over the current car. For a start, while the instrument cluster still uses traditional analogue dials, they flank a new 7.0in digital display that provides a wealth of information just below your eye-line. The i30’s infotainment screen has grown to 10.25in, too, and it’s more responsive to use than the older system plus has more online features. And, while all touchscreens can be distracting to use while you’re driving, at least this i30’s doesn’t control everything; unlike the latest Golf and Leon, the i30 gives you physical buttons and knobs for its climate controls.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Interior space hasn’t changed, which means there's plenty of room for those in the front, but a six-foot passenger in the back will be quite cramped in for both head and legroom when sitting behind a similarly lanky driver. It doesn’t help that the front seatbacks, which their knees will make contact with, are made from hard plastic, but this may change on the final production model. Meanwhile, you can still fit slightly more shopping into the i30’s boot than you could in the Golf’s, although the cavernous </span><a href="https://www.whatcar.com/skoda/octavia/hatchback/review/n39" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#00838f;"><u>Skoda Octavia</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> remains the go-to choice for families with lots of luggage to carry around.</span></div>

The Hyundai Grand i10 Is An Impressive Budget Hatchhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/the-hyundai-grand-i10-is-an-impressive-budget-hatch2021-05-13T14:46:42.577000Z2021-05-13T14:29:19ZCar Craziness<div><b><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="color:#212529;">The latest version of </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-grand-i10/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai’s best-selling Grand i10</u></span></a><span style="color:#212529;"> is refined, economical and surprisingly roomy</span></span></b></div><img style="--en-naturalWidth:750; --en-naturalHeight:465;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/DSfCOH_BewH-EkkcmXbaKrU6a4MTnu-iNcrKlbSYoXy93P9XofY-hcJI46jQGZSYCe0p5x_8bhVHf1ciAKCbMbUJuPBODvU9hQ=s750" /><div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">The </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-grand-i10/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai Grand i10</u></span></a><span style="color:#212529;"> had big shoes to fill when it replaced the popular Getz in 2014, but it’s gone on to become the Korean firm’s best selling model in SA.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">The India-built compact Hyundai is exported to 87 countries and has sold more than 1.15m units in its first two generations, with 49,252 of those sales in SA.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">The car is a step up from the tiny Atos hatch in Hyundai’s model range, and the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-grand-i10/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>third generation Grand i10</u></span></a><span style="color:#212529;"> has arrived at </span><b><span style="color:#212529;">Group 1 Hyundai </span></b><span style="color:#212529;">to compete against rivals like the Ford Figo, VW Polo Vivo and Kia Picanto, to mention a few.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">So how does it stack up in this highly competitive segment?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">The audio system’s touch screen is a tad undersized but it has all the modern functionality including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the brisk Bluetooth pairing with my phone took place in what seemed like record time. The car has two USB ports in the dash, to prevent bickering over who gets to charge their phone.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">Ergonomically the Grand i10 is a mostly user-friendly experience with a simple and tidy interface. There are very few buttons on the dashboard and steering wheel, causing minimal distraction for the driver.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">One blot is that the steering doesn’t have reach adjustment, though it can be set to different heights to cater for different-sized drivers.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">The range-topping Fluid grade has leather-look seats that create a smart feel inside the cabin, and they’re unusually wide and comfortable for a budget car. The plastic on the dashboard isn’t soft-touch but it’s nicely textured, and the cabin’s dark theme is subtly dazzled up with red accents on the seats and air vents.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">Rear seating space is impressively roomy for such a small car, and tall adults have plenty of leg and headroom. Back seat passengers are also well taken care of with their own adjustable air vents.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">At 360</span><i><span style="color:#212529;">l </span></i><span style="color:#212529;">the boot is one of the largest in the segment and contains a full-size spare wheel, with split-folding rear seats that flip down to cater for larger shopping expeditions.</span></div><img style="--en-naturalWidth:750; --en-naturalHeight:496;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/bKcLX5sfNHeoczrupke66SKKgzfr-pT9qxZ3yctSBAwXqrVNNY6RuF5xZtbYM4YFeq_8gc09fSmw-4KWzVVmD-ktS6Q45b4VI2A=s750" /><div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">Two normally-aspirated petrol engines are on offer in the Grand i10 range - a three-cylinder 1.0</span><i><span style="color:#212529;">l </span></i><span style="color:#212529;">and a four-cylinder 1.2</span><i><span style="color:#212529;">l</span></i><span style="color:#212529;">, with respective outputs of 49kW/94kW and 61kW/114Nm - and both are offered in a choice of five-speed manual or four-speed auto.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">The 1.2 manual on test here has a significant power disadvantage over its direct price rival, the 1.5</span><i><span style="color:#212529;">l </span></i><span style="color:#212529;">Ford Figo, which offers a far more spirited 88kW/150Nm. Nevertheless, the Hyundai doesn’t leave the driver with unsatisfied power cravings and feels fairly willing. It is fairly torquey, giving it an easygoing commuting pace and the ability to cruise freeways at the speed limit or more.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">Despite having just five speeds the car doesn’t buzz along at high revs in top gear, making it a fairly quiet cruiser. The engine seems to have enough torque to handle the sixth gear though, which might have further reduced the economical fuel consumption of 5.6</span><i><span style="color:#212529;">l</span></i><span style="color:#212529;"> / 100km achieved by the test car - unusually this even beat the manufacturer’s claimed figure.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">The Grand i10 is refined for a budget car, with well-muted mechanical and wind noise. Build quality seems spot on and there’s nary a squeak or rattle.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">It also has a plush ride, lacking the overly choppy feel that characterises many small cars, and wears high-profile 15-inch tyres that take potholed roads in their stride. Hyundai’s compact hatch scurries through suburbia with a nimble feel, cornering neatly when the pace is picked up. A slick manual gearshift and light steering make it an undemanding car to drive in the bustle of traffic, though the steering doesn’t self-centre as well as it could.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span> </div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">The cheapest Grand i10 sells for R191,900 and for that you’ll get safety features like dual front airbags, ISOFIX child seat attachments on the rear seats, and ABS brakes, and comforts including touchscreen infotainment, remote central locking, aircon, electric windows and a trip computer.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">The fancier Fluid spec, as tested here, adds items like LED daytime running lights, park distance control, alloy wheels, and the aforementioned leather-look seats to the spec sheet.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 8px;"><span style="color:#212529;">.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#212529;">All around, it’s a more refined car than you expect in this segment, and coupled with its surprisingly good practicality and one of the best warranties in the business, the latest Grand i10 looks destined to be another good seller for Hyundai.</span></div>

2021 Hyundai i10: The Grand i10https://carcraziness.postach.io/post/2021-hyundai-i10-the-grand-i102021-02-12T11:18:51.345000Z2021-02-12T11:10:43ZCar Craziness<div><div style="text-align:center;"><br /></div></div>

<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">Hyundai South Africa seems to be doing reasonably well themselves. They have managed to grow their market share by 2.1% and now Hyundai finds themselves in 5th place globally in the best automotive brands. This is by no accident as Hyundai continues to push development and offer to quality vehicles even branding out into the world of EV (electric vehicles).</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">Having sold just under 50 000 new Grand i10's between 2014 and 2020 in South Africa and the factory in Chennai, India pumping out over 1 million units the Grand i10 is a very important vehicle to Hyundai SA.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">.</span></div><img style="--en-naturalWidth:640; --en-naturalHeight:426;" src="https://img.autotrader.co.za/9333074" /><div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">.</span></div><h4><span style="color:#1b1f23;">All new Grand i10</span></h4><div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">The new Grand i10 is a whole new vehicle from top to bottom and not just because it essentially replaced the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-grand-i10/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai i10</u></span></a><span style="color:#1b1f23;">. A completely redesigned exterior, brand new stylish interior and new tech make this the best offering from them to date.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">There will be two derivatives available, the Motion and Fluid as well as two engine sizes and two gearbox options to chooses from.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">This review is based on the 1.0 Fluid, which is the slightly higher specced version.</span></div>
<div>.</div><img style="--en-naturalWidth:640; --en-naturalHeight:426;" src="https://img.autotrader.co.za/9333077" /><h4>.</h4><h4><span style="color:#1b1f23;">Outside</span></h4><div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">Exterior wise, the new Grand is 40mm longer, 20mm wider and, 10mm taller than its predecessor, boasting a wider front grille and a lower stance. the Fluid is equipped with DRL's that are recessed into the bumper next to the grille and you get moulded badging to the C-pillar. The body lines are also slightly tweaked and with the fluid get a set of Charcoal coloured mag wheels.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">The Fluid is also fitted with few gadgets such as the heated side mirrors with integrated indicators, the window glass is also larger allowing for better all-around visibility.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">The Grand </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-grand-i10/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>i10 is available</u></span></a><span style="color:#1b1f23;"> at </span><b><span style="color:#1b1f23;">Group 1 Hyundai </span></b><span style="color:#1b1f23;">in a decent palette of colours such as Typhoon Silver, Fiery Red, Phantom Black, Titan Grey and Polar White and the option to have a two-tone paint scheme (base colour/ black roof) will only be available to those choosing Red or White.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h4><span style="color:#1b1f23;">Inside</span></h4><div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">The interior has received the best makeover. Fluid models get imitation leather seating for all, complete with red stitching, touchscreen infotainment with Apple Car Play and Android Auto as well as a 260l boot.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">Motion derivatives make do with cloth seating, speaking of the seating, it has been sculpted for more comfort overall. with the front seats receiving larger side bolsters and the rear seat( 60/40 split) bottoms being angled upwards to increase comfort.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">The Grand i10 gets a safety stamp of approval with driver and passenger airbags, ABS, EBD and park distance control. The two main selling points of the Grand over its competitors are the keyless entry, steering wheel controls and leather seats, which many of its closest rivals lack.</span></div>
<div>.</div><img style="--en-naturalWidth:640; --en-naturalHeight:426;" src="https://img.autotrader.co.za/9333100" /><h4>.</h4><h4><span style="color:#1b1f23;">Under the bonnet</span></h4><div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">The new Grand </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-grand-i10/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai i10 is powered by two engine options</u></span></a><span style="color:#1b1f23;">. you get the 1.0 and the 1.2l The 1.0l is a 3 cylinder petrol engine that delivers 49kW / 94Nm, while the 1.2l is a 4 cylinder petrol engine delivering 61kW / 114Nm</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">These numbers don't inspire much confidence but trust me when I say, once mated to the choice 5-speed manual gearbox, it is plenty to get you up and over the freeway limit. There is also an option for a 4-speed auto transmission and on the whole, the drive is fantastic with no squeaks or rattles, smooth and compliant with enough power to get its 935kg up to speed with ease.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h4><span style="color:#1b1f23;">Verdict</span></h4><div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#1b1f23;">The Grand i10 has always been a solid small city car but has now taken a big leap by being the best-specced small city car that you buy in the entry-level car segment. We loved the drive and the sporty styling and cant wait to get one on a longer review cycle.</span></div>

2021 Hyundai Tucson Reviewhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/2021-hyundai-tucson-review2021-02-12T11:10:18.193000Z2021-02-12T11:03:25ZCar Craziness<div><br /></div><img style="--en-naturalWidth:763; --en-naturalHeight:572;" src="https://www.kbb.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2020-hyundai-tucson-front-3qtr-4x3-1-763x0.jpg" /><div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">What you want to know</span></b></h3><h3><b><span style="color:#505050;">Does the 2021 </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai Tucson</u></span></a><span style="color:#505050;"> have all-wheel drive?</span></b></h3><div><span style="color:#505050;">The 2021 Tucson usually sends drive to its front wheels, although all-wheel drive (AWD) can be ordered on any trim at an additional cost. The Tucson’s AWD system is an on-demand type, meaning the car remains pulled by its front wheels until traction is needed, at which point all four wheels are driven. However, it can be locked into a 50/50 front-to-rear power split for better grip in slippery conditions.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><b><span style="color:#505050;">Which is bigger, the Hyundai Santa Fe or the Hyundai Tucson?</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">The Santa Fe is larger. The </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai Tucson is considered a compact crossover/SUV</u></span></a><span style="color:#505050;"> and competes against the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5 and Nissan Rogue, while the midsize Santa Fe is more like a Chevrolet Blazer, Nissan Murano or Ford Edge.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><b><span style="color:#505050;">Is the 2021 Hyundai Tucson safe?</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">Undoubtedly. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the Tucson its highest rating of Good in every category and named it a Top Safety Pick. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the Hyundai Tucson its maximum score of five stars overall.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">Overview</span></b></h3><div><span style="color:#505050;">The </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>2021 Hyundai Tucson</u></span></a><span style="color:#505050;"> from </span><b><span style="color:#505050;">Group 1 Hyundai </span></b><span style="color:#505050;">has an unbeatable 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. It could also be said that the Tucson offers a more muscular engine and all-wheel drive.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">The 2021 Tucson still represents good value for money, and owners won’t lose their shirts on it when the time comes to sell.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">Driving the 2021 Hyundai Tucson</span></b></h3><div><span style="color:#505050;">There are no big surprises or troublesome learning curves with the 2021 Tucson. It’s comfortable and quiet, and the suspension has been tuned to take corners with confidence, despite the vague steering feel. Sport trim’s 19-inch wheels tend to reduce ride quality and increase sound levels, so test-drive a few versions to find the ideal choice.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">Favourite Features</span></b></h3><div><span style="color:#505050;">HANDS-FREE SMART POWERED TAILGATE</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">No need to wave a foot under the bumper, simply approach the rear of the Tucson with the key fob in your pocket, wait a few seconds, and the tailgate opens automatically.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">YES ESSENTIALS STAIN PROTECTION</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">The Tucson’s Yes Essentials seat fabric is a brilliant addition to an already nice cabin. Beyond repelling stains, the material also helps to reduce the build-up of odours and static electricity.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">2021 Hyundai Tucson Interior</span></b></h3><div><span style="color:#505050;">A sensible dashboard houses simple controls for the climate and audio systems. At night, those controls have soft blue back-lighting. The digital display doesn’t overload the driver with too much information. A 7-inch infotainment touchscreen (measured diagonally) is also standard, going up to an 8-inch unit in the Ultimate. Limited and Ultimate trims have leather seating surfaces. </span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">The rear seats are comfortable enough, even if passenger space back there is not class-leading. And the luggage area’s adjustable floor also includes storage for the cargo cover. With the rear seats in place, cargo space is 31 cubic feet. When folded, it’s 61.9 cubic feet.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">2021 Hyundai Tucson Exterior</span></b></h3><div><span style="color:#505050;">The clean look of the 2021 Hyundai Tucson is arguably easy on the eye, especially for fans of Audi’s styling approach. There’s nothing wrong with a mainstream marque paying homage to something upscale and successful. It makes the commute more bearable and lets the owner feel good.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">Beneath the styling is a chassis made up of more than 50 percent high-strength steel, contributing to the Tucson’s excellent safety credentials. SE and Value models ride on 17-inch wheels, while the SEL, Limited and Ultimate move up to 18s. The Sport trim rolls on 19-inch wheels.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">2021 Hyundai Tucson Notable Standard Equipment</span></b></h3><div><span style="color:#505050;">A lavish amount of standard equipment for the money has long been </span><a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars-for-sale/cars/new-cars/hyundai/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#006cb2;">a hallmark for Hyundai</span></a><span style="color:#505050;">. In ascending order, the 2021 Hyundai Tucson’s trim levels are SE, Value, SEL, Sport, Limited, and Ultimate.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">SE starts off with a 164-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive, 17-inch alloy wheels, heated/power-folding side mirrors, 6-way manually adjustable driver’s seat, Bluetooth, and smartphone integration.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">The obviously but aptly named Value trim adds blind-spot monitoring, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, satellite radio, and keyless entry/ignition.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">LED headlights and an Infinity audio system come in at the Sport level, while the Limited trim has leather seating surfaces, a heated steering wheel, and a 360-degree camera system. The Ultimate comes with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, navigation, adaptive cruise control, and a panoramic sunroof.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">2021 Hyundai Tucson Notable Optional Equipment</span></b></h3><div><span style="color:#505050;">All-wheel drive is optional in every trim level. The bigger 181-horsepower engine goes into the SEL trim and above.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">To acquire other desirable extras — like pedestrian detection for the forward collision mitigation system, rain-sensing wipers, powered tailgate, panoramic sunroof, wireless device charging, and heated rear seats — buyers must look to the higher trim levels.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">2021 Hyundai Tucson Engine</span></b></h3><div><span style="color:#505050;">The base SE and Value Edition employ a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine making 164 horsepower. It does its job, but not in any noticeably refined manner. The rest of the range is propelled by a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 181 horsepower. Both engines connect to a 6-speed automatic transmission.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#505050;">All-wheel drive (AWD) is available with either engine, replacing the standard front-wheel-drive (FWD) setup.</span></div>

What’s The Hyundai i20 For Sale Like?https://carcraziness.postach.io/post/whats-the-hyundai-i20-for-sale-like2020-11-17T13:33:02.112000Z2020-11-17T13:23:46ZCar Craziness<div><span style="color:#000000;">Buyers after a well-built and handsome small car could do a lot worse than cast a glance at the </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i20/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai i20 for sale</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;">, for it has some good genes under its bodyshell. Not surprisingly, it sits between the impressive i10 city car and the iconoclastic i30 family hatchback, and these are both Hyundais of innovative design and up-to-date driving manners that have helped shift the Korean marque in people’s perspectives from bargain-bucket also-ran to competitive potential purchase.</span></div>
<div>.</div><img src="https://media.whatcar.com/662x440/migration/reviews/3a16901668649e73c7dc9cfe316e5c9cd1a34af1.jpg" /><div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">It sits in a hotly contested class, of course, with rivals that include the iconic Ford Fiesta and the excellent Skoda Fabia, and it’s available as a five-door hatchback, a three-door coupe and a rugged-looking SUV called the Active.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">There’s a wide range of engines on offer, too, including four petrol and two diesel options. Petrols kick off with a 1.2-litre with either 74 or 83bhp, or a three-cylinder 1.0-litre unit with either 99 or 118bhp. A 99bhp 1.4 is the only automatic option in the range. If you want to go diesel, there’s a choice of a 74bhp three-cylinder 1.1-litre or an 89bhp 1.4 four-cylinder.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i20/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai i20 trims</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> at </span><b><span style="color:#000000;">Group 1 Hyundai </span></b><span style="color:#000000;">start with entry-level S, which is a little basic and lacks air-con and Bluetooth, and moves up through SE, which adds alloy wheels and rear parking sensors, Premium SE, which throws in heated seats and a sunroof, while the Turbo edition gets a 7.0in infotainment screen as standard. Confusingly, the three-door coupe version calls these last two trims Sport and Sport Nav, although they offer exactly the same equipment.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">On the road, the 1.0-litre engine is the best performer in the range, in either of its power outputs. Both feel good, even on motorways, although only the higher powered 120 version gets a six-speed manual gearbox. The 1.2 and 1.4 engines feel a little sluggish, even if they are quite refined, while the diesel options are both a little tardy in their responses and occasionally a little noisy. The </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i20/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>i20 for sale is an easy and safe car</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> to drive, with both good grip levels and predictable handling. Its ride is generally comfortable.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Inside is a good driving position with excellent visibility, and the dashboard is logically laid out and simple to use. It feels solidly built and fairly plush, with good use of soft-touch plastics, and there’s a responsive 7.0in touchscreen infotainment on higher-spec cars.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Space in the front is truly excellent, while rear-seat passengers get plenty of legroom and a good amount of space across the car. Added to that boot space is one of the biggest in the class, with easy access and a height-adjustable floor on higher trims.</span></div>

New Hyundai Atos Is An Affordable, Yet Charming Little City-Jostlerhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/new-hyundai-atos-is-an-affordable-yet-charming-little-city-jostler2020-08-18T08:42:44.439000Z2020-08-18T08:34:22ZCar Craziness<div><span style="color:#333333;">What constitutes a city car? That is the big question. Not really, but in the spirit of sounding philosophical, it felt right.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">Nevertheless, Hyundai South Africa launched its </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-atos/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>all-new Atos</u></span></a><span style="color:#333333;"> in South Africa in October 2019. The new Atos, the first since the model was discontinued a decade ago, looks to win ground in the highly contested budget-car category.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">The segment it competes in is dominated by the Renault Kwid and, to a lesser degree, the Datsun Go – of which both cars saw upgrades in 2019. In the Atos’ case, it needs to reaffirm itself as a budget offering, while at the same time lure customers away from its rivals and into the Hyundai fold. Priced at R159 900 for the one-model range, the Atos seems competitively priced against its competitors.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">This begs the question: does the new </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-atos/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai Atos</u></span></a><span style="color:#333333;"> have enough in the bag to go up against the Kwid and Go? And following that, should you consider it if you’re in the market?</span></div>
<div>.</div><img src="https://cdn.24.co.za/files/Cms/General/d/9840/426d3f2d36d2402f8b327c0969c8453a.jpg" /><div>.</div>
<div><b><span style="color:#333333;">Stable at speed?</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">An aspect of a small, budget-friendly city car will almost always fail at is high-speed stability. Like the Kwid and Go, the Atos does not have the greatest of confidence when sneaking past the national speed limit. Counting in its favour, however, is that it is a tad more stable than its rivals. Still, the slightest bit of wind can deter the Atos and see you veering out of your lane, even when the steering wheel is straight.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">This can be attributed to the 14-inch wheels the car rides on, but that is only part of it. Weighing in at 866kg, the Atos is very light but still heavier than its rivals (Go = 779kg | Kwid = 736kg). The extra weight over the mentioned cars does keep the Atos slightly more planted on the road, but it, just like its rivals, have no liking to the treacherous winds Cape Town has been experiencing the past few days.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">According to Hyundai, the Atos will reach a top speed of 155km/h. Though we refrained from testing that claim – given the unpleasant windy conditions – we found that the car has enough pull to possibly reach its claimed top speed. </span></div>
<div>.</div><img src="https://cdn.24.co.za/files/Cms/General/d/9840/85c8766525a34a45af7dabf7d66d07f6.jpg" /><div>.</div>
<div><b><span style="color:#333333;">City-friendly features?</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">To accommodate life in the city, the Atos needs to have certain features that play into it. In light of that, the Atos has a reasonably strong arsenal of tech and gadgets that count in its favour.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">As standard, air conditioning, power steering, front electric windows, and Bluetooth/AUX/USB connectivity. The dashboard's layout is not to be scoffed at, and the readouts from the information display in front of the driver are user-friendly, too. Just take note that the electric window switches are positioned between the front seats.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">Other notable additions include seats that are draped in both cloth and vinyl, a boot with 235L capacity, and an on-board trip computer. Two airbags are added as standard.</span></div>
<div>.</div><img src="https://cdn.24.co.za/files/Cms/General/d/9840/3fc258e264214a99b17d9834090c3c0b.jpg" /><div>.</div>
<div><b><span style="color:#333333;">It’s fuel-efficient, right?</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">During our time with the Hyundai Atos, our average fuel return over seven days was 6.4-litres/100km. Granted, the Atos was often exposed to heavy-footed driving, and having to contend with Cape Town’s winds did it’s economy no favours. Hyundai claims a fuel return of 5.7-litres/100km, and for much of the tenure, the figure hovered between 5.9 and 6.0-litres.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">In that regard, we can wholly give that nod of approval to the Atos for coming so close to its claimed figure. Who knows, perhaps a lighter foot would have seen that claimed figure being breached.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#333333;">But to achieve its good fuel return, the Atos is fitted with a 1.1-litre petrol engine. The four-cylinder motor produces 50kW and 99Nm of torque, all of which are sent to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox.</span></div>

The car has its quirks, but nothing that will turn you away when you judge it objectively against its rivals. 2020 looks to be another cash-strapped year for most consumers, and vehicles like the Atos will at least ensure that you can attain a brand new car.</span></div>

<div><i><span style="color:#111111;">.</span></i></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Hyundai Motor India will unveil the new Creta at the Auto Expo 2020. Launched in India in July 2015, the vehicle is currently in its first generation. </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-creta/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai Creta is one of the most popular mid-size SUVs</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> around, if not the most popular. Although recent introductions like Kia Seltos and MG Hector have been giving it stiff competition, the Creta has continued to hold its ground and churn out decent sales numbers.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The second-generation Hyundai Creta has been spied testing on several occasions in India. It is based on the China-spec Hyundai ix25, which itself looks quite sporty. Below are all the important details that you should know about the 2020 Hyundai Creta.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">2020 Hyundai Creta Launch</span></b></h3><div><br /></div>
<div><a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/auto/latest-auto-news/story/2020-hyundai-creta-india-launch-details-out-1634639-2020-01-07" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#026bc5;">The 2020 Creta will be reportedly launched</span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> in mid-March. It will be Hyundai Motor India's second introduction of the year after the Aura, which will make its way into the country on January 21.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">2020 Hyundai Creta Price</span></b></h3><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The current Hyundai Creta is priced very competitively. Hyundai Motor India might keep the second-generation Creta in the same price range. Even if the price shoots up, it won't be much. If the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-creta/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>second-gen Creta</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> should come to South Africa - </span><b><span style="color:#000000;">Group 1 Hyundai</span></b><span style="color:#000000;"> is sure to be among the first with new pricing.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">2020 Hyundai Creta Features</span></b></h3><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The 2020 Hyundai Creta has received several modifications to its exteriors. While the overall silhouette is still quite sporty, the new Creta is bigger in terms of dimensions. The new cascading grille, </span><a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/auto/latest-auto-news/story/2020-hyundai-creta-spotted-might-rival-mg-hector-jeep-compass-tata-harrier-1512655-2019-04-29" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#026bc5;">flanked by LED headlamps and LED DRLs</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">, gives the mid-size SUV a pretty bold look. There are changes to the rear with new taillamps. The tailgate has been redesigned as well. Also, the alloys are completely new. The cabin will get some premium features like 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a panoramic sunroof. You can expect Hyundai's BlueLink connectivity technology to be available in the new Creta.</span></div>
<div>.</div><h3><b><span style="color:#111111;">2020 Hyundai Creta Engine</span></b></h3><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The next-generation Hyundai Creta will come with the engine options that are available with Kia Seltos. At present, the Seltos has three BS6-compliant powertrain choices. There is a 1.5-litre petrol engine that makes 115 PS and 144 Nm of torque. A 1.5-litre VGT diesel mill produces 115 PS and 250 Nm of torque. There is a 1.4-litre Turbo GDI petrol motor delivering 140 PS and 242 Nm of torque. All the three engines come with a standard 6-speed manual gearbox. Besides, there are automatic transmission options like IVT (1.5-litre petrol), 6-speed AT (1.5-litre VGT diesel) and 7-speed DCT (1.4-litre Turbo GDI petrol).</span></div>

Driver Review: 2020 Hyundai Venuehttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/driver-review-2020-hyundai-venue2020-08-18T08:25:21.128000Z2020-08-18T08:22:12ZCar Craziness<div>Hyundai's Venue is its littlest SUV to date. Look beyond its tiny footprint, and you'll find an awful lot to like.</div>
<div>.</div><img src="https://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/img/tnrdXe0HTLjG5BkrQU19WNFgpxQ=/2020/01/16/328b4be6-f473-4169-a013-8c4e1385b499/venue-promo.jpg" /><div>.</div>
<div>Hyundai's latest small-car venture, the 2020 <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-venue/" rev="en_rl_none">Hyundai Venue</a>, feels like a good value. It might not be the most dynamic car out there, but it oozes value in ways that will appeal to its core segment of younger buyers on the fence about buying new.</div>
<div>.</div><h2><b>More space than you think</b></h2><div>The <a href="https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/make/hyundai/model/venue/" rev="en_rl_none">Hyundai Venue</a> is small. For context, the already subcompact Hyundai <a href="https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/make/hyundai/model/kona/" rev="en_rl_none">Kona</a> is some about 12cm longer than the Venue, with a wheelbase about 7.6cm longer. That might lead you to believe that driving the Venue must feel about as comfortable as riding the Tokyo subway at rush hour, but I can assure you that's not the case.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>Sliding into the Venue, I'm actually impressed with how spacious it feels. A lot of that has to do with the body, which has straight sides and a suitably tall roof, leading to an interior that is nowhere near as cramped as some might imagine. The second row is a little tight with a 182cm passenger behind a 182cm driver, but it works. Those big windows make for some excellent visibility on all sides, too, including a commanding view of the road (or the bumpers of larger <a href="https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/suvs/" rev="en_rl_none">SUVs</a>) ahead.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>The Venue's trunk isn't bad, either. Its half cubic meter of space will hold a couple of people's worth of groceries, shopping bags or suitcases, but not much more than that. The Venue is almost half as capacious as the Kona, but then again, it's also one of the smallest SUVs available from any automaker, so the lack of storage shouldn't come as a surprise. There are a few other places to sock away your stuff, though, including a small cubby under the centre armrest and two large-enough pockets in the door panels. My favourite storage spot, though, has to be the little depression on the passenger side of the dashboard, which is great for a phone or small clutch purse.</div>
<div>.</div><h2><b>Performance</b></h2><div>All Venues come equipped with the same engine. This 1.6-liter, naturally aspirated I4 produces just 121 horsepower and </div>
<div>153,207 Nm of torque.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>The four-pot makes a nice noise as the tachometer needle swings north, which helps distract from the fact that acceleration takes a little time to build up. Throttle tip-in is odd in its default Normal mode, with the first 5% of the pedal travel offering no forward motion, but moving the mode dial to Sport tunes some of that out in favor of increased responsiveness. The brakes are the opposite, grabbing with authority early in the pedal movement, requiring some mental gymnastics to retrain your reflexes to deliver smooth driving.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>The <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-venue/" rev="en_rl_none">base model Venue</a> comes with a six-speed manual, but my high-end SEL tester packs the continuously variable transmission that I imagine most Venues will carry. It's a slick little piece of equipment, keeping engine drone at bay while working to maximize fuel economy. More conventional shifts only pop up under harder driving, but no matter how far you smash the gas pedal toward the firewall, the transmission is the good kind of barely noticeable.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>It was particularly blustery on my drive day, which reminded me that the flat sides of the car can make it feel a little skittish in crosswinds -- a decent trade-off for having a good amount of space inside, I suppose. The steering was direct, if a little numb, but it felt nice as I threw in more than a little course correction to counteract the gusts. I wouldn't enjoy doing this over the length of an entire road trip, but for short jaunts around town (the most likely use case for the Venue), I don't think anybody will be too bothered.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>I find the Venue's ride to be as good as, if not better than, many of its competitors. By maxing out wheel sizes at 17 inches, all tires carry suitable sidewall to smooth out the ride over bad pavement. The slightly stiff body makes for a surprisingly engaging ride when you want it, and the suspension feels well-tuned for the realities of urban commuting. It's a compelling package.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>As for fuel economy, it should be pretty good. All-wheel drive isn't available, and the front-drive Venue is sufficiently thrifty: Six-speed models achieve 27 miles per gallon in the city and 35 mpg on the highway by EPA standards, while CVT variants can reach 30 mpg city or 34 highway, numbers that seem more than feasible after a couple of hours behind the wheel.</div>
<div>.</div><h2><b>Impressive tech at this price point</b></h2><div>Some small cars carry hamstrung versions of an automaker's tech, likely to keep costs in line. Not the Venue, though -- no matter which trim you pick, the Venue comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that carries both <a href="https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/auto/apple-carplay/" rev="en_rl_none">Apple CarPlay</a> and Android Auto. Hyundai's Blue Link interface remains as straightforward as ever, with suitable screen responsiveness and graphics that, while a little on the old side, present information in a way that's easy to get used to.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>The front passengers will enjoy simultaneous charging thanks to an available pair of USB ports up front, one of which can fast-charge devices. However, both ports are USB-A, with no Type-C on offer, and rear-seat occupants don't get any charging ports, which is a bummer. The phone-size tray ahead of the shifter could feasibly fit a wireless charger, and while one isn't on offer at the moment, Hyundai gave me one of those, "Oh, anything's possible" responses when pressed on the idea of implementing wireless charging in a later update.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>While keeping costs low is important, Hyundai doesn't scrimp on the Venue's standard safety systems. Even the base Venue comes with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist. The R20 000 Convenience Package on the SEL trim adds blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert to the mix, but most of its driver assistance tech is standard. The only real casualty here is adaptive cruise control, which is not available on any trim.</div>
<div>.</div><h2><b>Down to brass tacks</b></h2><div>The <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-venue/" rev="en_rl_none">2020 Venue</a> is immensely affordable, with a starting price of R285 500 at <b>Group 1 Hyundai</b>. Range-topping models, whether it's the SEL or the more stylish Denim trim, hit the ceiling around R384 000, so you don't have to stretch your budget to next Wednesday to slide into a well-equipped new car, albeit a smaller one.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>That's the whole conceit of the Venue, as Hyundai explained it to me -- the automaker wants this little crossover to appeal to buyers who would otherwise be shopping for a used car. There's a special feeling that comes from having a car all to yourself from the start, and if the Venue gets more people to experience that, I'm all for it. As this segment of small SUVs grows, Hyundai has done a great job of establishing a high-water mark for everything that comes after.</div>

2019 Hyundai Tucson Reviewhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/2019-hyundai-tucson-review2020-08-03T11:57:50.853000Z2020-08-03T11:49:29ZCar Craziness<div>Hyundai’s crossover lineup is now one of the biggest in the industry with new entries, like the Kona, Palisade and even the upcoming Venue. While <a href="https://www.thetorquereport.com/category/hyundai/" rev="en_rl_none">Hyundai</a> has been adding to its crossover stable, that doesn’t mean that it’s ignored some of its heavyweights that helped get it where it is today. The <a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/tucson/" rev="en_rl_none">Hyundai Tucson for sale</a> has continued to rival popular compact crossovers, like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 for years and now it’s better than ever thanks to a mid-cycle refresh.</div>
<div>.</div><img src="https://www.thetorquereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2019-Hyundai-Tucson-Review-00021.jpg" /><div>.</div>
<div>The <a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/tucson/" rev="en_rl_none">2019 Hyundai Tucson</a> not only gets some styling updates, but it’s now available with more tech features. On the outside the biggest update you’ll notice is a new version of Hyundai’s Cascading grille, which gives it a slightly more grown up look than before. Other smaller changes include new lighting at the front and rear and fresh alloy wheel designs. Overall the 2019 Tucson has a more classic, sculpted look that the latest RAV4, although it’s not super exciting to look at.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>Inside the biggest change is the redesigned center console that gets a new 8-inch touchscreen. The rest of the interior largely carries over, but it didn’t really need that much updating, since it’s covered in high quality materials. The Tucson’s interior feels more luxurious than you might expect, especially if you opt for the Ultimate trim level, which adds leather seats, wireless charging for your cell phone and even a heated steering wheel.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>On the safety front the Tucson comes standard with several driver assistance features, like Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and a Driver Attention Warning system. Upper trim levels get additional features, like Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, a Surround View Monitor and adaptive cruise control.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>Moving down the road, the Tucson’s interior is quiet and comfortable. Your friends will easily enjoy any seat in the house. Keeping them entertained won’t be hard either since the Tucson also features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>While the Tucson will be a great companion for a weekend road trip, its cargo area comes up a bit short compared to the CR-V and RAV4. With the rear seat up there’s 31 cubic feet of space for your stuff, compared to 39.2 cubic feet in the CR-V and 37.6 in the RAV4. With the rear seats folded the Tucson has 61.9 cubic feet of space, but the CR-V easily beats it at 75.8 and the RAV4 at 69.8 cubic feet.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>Buyers have a choice of two engines a 2.0L four-cylinder with 161 horsepower and 150 lb-ft. Of torque or a 2.4L four-cylinder with 181-hp and 175 lb-ft. Sadly the turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder is no longer available. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive is optional.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>Both the CR-V and RAV4 pack more horsepower under the hood. Around town the 2.4L does an adequate job of moving the Tucson down the road, but there isn’t much "sport" there to keep you excited. On the freeway it’s evident that the Tucson could use a bit more power. </div>
<div>.</div>
<div>If fuel economy is your thing, you’ll also probably be a bit disappointed with the Tucson’s MPG specs. The most efficient version with front-wheel drive and the 2.0L engine gets 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, while all-wheel drive lowers those specs to 22/25 mpg. The 2.4L with front-wheel drive is rated at 22/28 mpg and the all-wheel drive version is rated at 21/26 mpg.</div>
<div>To compare the most efficient version of the CR-V is rated at 28/34 mpg and the RAV4 gets up to 26/35 mpg.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>The 2019 Tucson is offered in SE, Value, SEL, Sport, Limited, Night and Ultimate trim levels.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>While its mid-cycle facelift does bring some welcome additions to the 2019 Tucson lineup, these older <a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/tucson/" rev="en_rl_none">Tucson models</a> at <b>Group 1 Hyundai</b> are fantastic too.</div>

<div><span style="color:#262626;">According to YouGov, Hyundai ranks as the 13th most famous carmaker, particularly favoured by millennials, and is known for its affordability and reliability. But no matter how dependable a vehicle is, there will still be repair and maintenance costs. </span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#262626;">Every new Hyundai comes with a factory warranty, which provides basic coverage for a limited number of years. But if you’re looking for further coverage and continuous peace of mind, there are many extended warranties that offer prolonged protection.</span></div>

<div><span style="color:#262626;">For all vehicles with a 2000 model year or newer, Hyundai provides a recommended maintenance schedule, which is based on the vehicle’s style, engine, total mileage, and other factors.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#262626;">For the most part, Hyundai owner manuals require service intervals every 10 000km.</span></div>

<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#262626;">Combined with the manufacturer’s warranty and maintenance plan, it’s clear Hyundai is doing all it can to ensure its vehicles last a long time.

<div>.</div><h2><b><span style="color:#747474;">How Do Extended Warranties Help With Costs?</span></b></h2><div><span style="color:#262626;">All car warranties serve one overall purpose: to give the owner peace of mind. If you plan to keep your Hyundai beyond the original factory warranty coverage, it’s highly recommended to consider purchasing an extended auto warranty plan.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#262626;">These vehicle service contracts insure you against expenses incurred from the vehicle’s mechanical or system failures. While they’re not designed to cut down Hyundai maintenance costs, an extended warranty can be a lifesaver when it comes to expensive repair costs.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#262626;">Aside from protecting most major components, extended warranties can be further tailored to your preferred amount of coverage, time and mileage, and other details. For example, you can easily opt to include coverage for high-tech equipment, which is common in most cars these days.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#262626;">Most plans include additional services, such as 24/7 roadside assistance or reimbursement for a rental car in case yours is in the shop. Many extended warranty providers will also take care of all paperwork and payment associated with repairs.</span></div>
<div>.</div>
<div><span style="color:#262626;">With the right extended car warranty, most drivers find that the total coverage, extra service, and complete peace of mind are well worth the price.</span></div>

Throwback to the 2018 Hyundai Accenthttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/throwback-to-the-2018-hyundai-accent2020-05-27T13:32:21.395000Z2020-05-27T12:53:47ZCar Craziness<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">The 2018 Hyundai Accent was a pleasant surprise. It was a subcompact sedan with a manual transmission. Normally, I’d say that would make it boring. But the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-accent/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:rgb(17, 85, 204);">Hyundai Accent</span></a><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"> has always had some spunk.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">Powered by a 1.6-liter direct-injected four-cylinder engine that made 130 horsepower and 119-pound feet of torque, this car was actually fun to drive. That may have had something to do with the six-speed manual transmission that transferred power to the pavement.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">It got 28 mpg in the city, 37 mpg on the highway and 31 mpg combined. It had 15-inch wheels, Hyundai’s cascading grille, body-coloured outside mirrors and door handles and a one-touch triple turn signal.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">This was the fifth generation of the Accent and it seemed like they poured all they learned from the previous generations into the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-accent/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:rgb(17, 85, 204);">latest version</span></a><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">. For instance, the architecture was comprised of 54.5 percent advanced high strength steel, 13 percent more than was used on the last generation Accent.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">The more rigid chassis provided better driving dynamics. The 2018 Hyundai Accent felt good. Noise, harshness and vibration, NVH, was almost imperceptible and that was saying something because of all the road construction.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">I had what amounts to these days a basic car; it was the SE trim line. There was no satellite radio, Android of CarPlay, no navigation system and no voice controls just an AM/FM radio. However, the audio system would stream from the music on a smartphone like my Pandora app.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">There was also a rearview camera which is mandatory as of May 2018 for vehicles weighing less than 10,000 lbs. Inside, there was a five-inch color touchscreen but there wasn’t much to control. That was okay.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">The interior had enough in terms of USB and auxiliary jacks and two 12V sockets as not to look sparse. I’m sure that’s not why they were there; just beneath the central climate control and media area. The front seats were manual but they were comfortable. Sightlines were good too.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">The instruments were real, not TFT projections. They were black faced with white numerals. Its cloth seats felt good in terms of texture and the ambiance of the Accent conveyed solidness.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">I climbed into the backseats and found them relatively spacious. All be true six-footers would have ample headspace. Because the car was a front-wheel-drive manual sedan there was not much of a tunnel running to the back wheels. Thus, three relatively large people could get in the back seat.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">I don’t know if the six-speed automatic would have the pep of the manual but I found the 2018 Accent to be a slick little sedan. Additionally, it is a cost-efficient buy.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">Each new generation of the Accent is meant to be an improvement on the previous.

Another reason to buy a 2019 Hyundai Tucsonhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/another-reason-to-buy-a-2019-hyundai-tucson2020-04-23T10:46:18.474000Z2020-04-23T10:42:47ZCar Craziness<div><br /></div><img src="https://images.hgmsites.net/lrg/2019-hyundai-tucson_100647770_l.jpg" /><div><br /></div>
<div>Hyundai changed the headlight design on its <a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/tucson/" rev="en_rl_none">2019 Tucson crossover SUV</a> midway through the model year, earning high-trim versions of the small 'ute a Top Safety Pick+ award.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>The upgraded accolade applies only to versions of the 2019 <a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/tucson/" rev="en_rl_none">Hyundai Tucson for sale</a> built after March 2019. In re-testing, the IIHS rated the upgraded LED projector headlights "Good," which was the missing piece for the Tucson's Top Safety Pick+ award. To earn the highest honor, the IIHS requires vehicles to score "Good" marks in all crashworthiness tests, a "Superior" score for active safety technology, and a "Good" rating for headlights.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Previously, the crossover SUV already earned "Good" marks in all six crash test evaluations and a "Superior" rating for front crash prevention with an optional system.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/tucson/" rev="en_rl_none">Models</a> from <b>Group 1 Hyundai </b>that Hyundai can specifically call a Top Safety Pick+ are the Ultimate, Sport, and Limited models. Each has LED projector headlights that scored top marks in IIHS testing, even though they do not a curve-adaptive feature. The Ultimate trim also gets high-beam assist. Models that do not earn the award are the volume sellers: the SE, SEL, and Value trims. They still sport halogen projector headlights the IIHS rates as "Poor." The Ultimate, Sport, and Limited models built before the headlight tweaks earned an "Acceptable" rating with their headlights, which was good enough for the standard Top Safety Pick award.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>That makes the least expensive Tucson with the top-rated headlights the Sport trim, which starts at $28,745 before other options (such as AWD) and including a $1,045 destination charge.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>In total, the Tucson makes 11 Hyundai models rated with a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+.</div>

2020 Hyundai Accent - A small car for frugal grown-ups.https://carcraziness.postach.io/post/2020-hyundai-accent-a-small-car-for-frugal-grown-ups2020-04-23T10:34:53.476000Z2020-04-23T10:33:01ZCar Craziness<div>If you think it's impossible to be frugal and also park a nicely equipped new car in your driveway, you need to test-drive the 2020 <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-accent/" rev="en_rl_none">Hyundai Accent</a>. Offered in three distinct trims—from the price leader SE to the loaded Limited—the Accent provides something for everyone's budget. Its 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is as efficient as the car's base price would suggest. We've found the lightweight Accent fun to drive and easy to pitch into corners with enough speed to make the tires squeal. In this case, the old saying is true: It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow. If you just need a no-frills commuter mobile, the Accent's cabin is spacious and utilitarian; higher-spec SEL and Limited come models with more gear than the base car, but all three come with touchscreen infotainment.</div>
<div><br /></div><img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/2020-hyundai-accent-mmp-1-1565815779.jpg?crop=0.901xw:0.760xh;0.0481xw,0.240xh&resize=1200:*" /><h2></h2><h2>What's New for 2020?</h2><div>The smallest Hyundai receives a new four-cylinder engine and an optional continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) replaces last year's six-speed automatic; these changes improve the Accent's EPA combined fuel economy rating by 4 mpg. The new engine makes 10 fewer horsepower than the engine in the 2019 Accent, but we expect performance to be about the same. A six-speed manual transmission remains standard, and it's the one we'd pick.</div><h2></h2><h2>Engine, Transmission, and Performance</h2><div>The Accent's 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine makes 120 horsepower and drives the front wheels through either a six-speed manual or continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The four-cylinder is new for 2020 and we've not tested one, but we expect performance similar to last year's model which offered 130 horsepower. It's clear that ride comfort takes priority over deft handling. Still, the Accent feels lively, its small body is easily tossed into corners, and it's even rewarding when pushed. Rough roads are smoothed out adequately by the suspension. <a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-accent/" rev="en_rl_none">Test drive the new Hyundai Accent</a> to get a feel for it yourself.</div><h2></h2><h2>Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG</h2><div>Small cars are expected to deliver good fuel-economy numbers, and the Accent does just that. The new four-cylinder engine has improved fuel economy across the lineup: manual-transmission models are rated at 33 mpg combined and automatic models claim a 36 mpg combined rating. We haven't had the chance to put the Accent's new powertrain through our real-world highway fuel-economy testing, but last year's less efficient model impressed us with a 41 mpg result when equipped with the standard six-speed manual transmission.</div><h2></h2><h2>Interior, Comfort, and Cargo</h2><div>The Accent's grown-up interior seems well built. Sporting a frill-free interior design, the Accent is uncomplicated and honest. Both of our test cars had a black interior. The optional beige interior imparts a richer feeling, with two-tone tan and black seats and a similar treatment for the dash and door panels. Despite its sedan body and a smaller amount of cargo space with the rear seats in use, the Accent had room for more of our carry-on cases than did its more practically shaped hatchback Rio. </div><h2></h2><h2>Infotainment and Connectivity</h2><div>A 5.0-inch touchscreen radio is standard and provides USB and auxiliary ports for connecting devices to the interface, but the 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system that comes on SEL and Limited trims is higher-tech. The larger display also boasts Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity as well as a second USB port located on the back of the centre console. Both systems offer Bluetooth phone connectivity, but the 7.0-inch touchscreen also comes with SiriusXM satellite radio.</div>
<div><br /></div><h2>Safety and Driver-Assistance Features</h2><div>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration hasn't released crash-test results for the Accent, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it a Top Safety Pick. Automated emergency braking and forward-collision warning are optional driver-assistance features not offered on many of the Accent's rivals. Key safety features include:</div>

Used Hyundai i10 Reviews - Advice for Buyershttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/used-hyundai-i10-reviews-advice-for-buyers2020-03-31T14:12:42.664000Z2020-03-31T14:10:15ZCar Craziness<div><br /></div><img src="https://media.whatcar.com/662x440/migration/reviews/8d1139aa259397ed223e37bcd85193a1736da9f1.jpg" /><div><br /></div>
<div><b>What should I look for in a used Hyundai i10 hatchback?</b></div>
<div>The <a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i10/" rev="en_rl_none">Hyundai i10 for sale</a> out there will be mostly urban, so check for dings in the bodywork caused by minor bumps in tight car parks. It’s also worth looking at the alloy wheels, on the versions that have them, to check they haven’t been scraped against a kerb too vigorously. Check the smooth operation of the rear hatchback and that the rear seats drop easily.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Make sure that the air conditioning works, because if it doesn't and requires a re-gas, it could be more expensive than you'd expect to fix. This is because Hyundai uses a more environmentally friendly refrigerant gas in their cars, which is pricier and isn't widely available. </div>
<div> </div>
<div><b>Used Hyundai i10 2014 -present</b></div>
<div>What are the most common problems with a used Hyundai i10 hatchback?</div>
<div>Reported problems are rare, although there have been issues with the rear brake pads sticking to the discs. In our recent survey, it was noted that the i10 scored above average for brake disc wear but below average for brake pad wear. One or two owners have also reported that clutches can slip, so check that thoroughly on any test drive, especially if buying privately. In this regard, it’s always better to buy from a reputable <a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i10/" rev="en_rl_none">used Hyundai car dealer</a> as they’re cars will be put through a stringent check before being sold.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><b>Is a used Hyundai i10 hatchback reliable?</b></div>
<div>According to a recent reliability survey, the <a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i10/" rev="en_rl_none">second-gen i10</a> available at <b>Group 1 Hyundai</b>, is very reliable. It came in fifth place out of 25 in the small and city car class, with few reported problems. Hyundai as a brand always features near the top of any manufacturer reliability table; in our most recent survey, it finished seventh out of 31 car makers.</div>

It was new in 2019 for a fourth-generation with a better-looking and now corporate face. Hyundai’s plan was to make it feel more like an SUV, and I think they’ve succeeded.

<div><span style="color:#000000;">The </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-santa-fe/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>2020 Hyundai Santa Fe</u></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> gets either a 2.4-liter I-4 making 185 hp and 175 lb-ft and the 2.0-liter turbo I-4 making 235 hp and 260 lb-ft.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The Hyundai Santa Fe is the right size for my current, four-person family. The big sellers in the category are the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback and Ford Edge, but this might be the best looking of the bunch. I like the new face of the brand that’s now also on the Kona, Venue and Palisade though I can see it being polarizing.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">As for</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"> ride and handling, the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe was fine. Bumps were well muted and control was relatively direct. I do remember driving it into some DEEP water on the first drive, like 20-some inches, and made it out.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The 2020 Santa Fe's HTRAC all-wheel-drive system, available on all trims, defaults to front-wheel drive until slip is detected. Then it can send up to 50 percent of the power rearward. In sport mode, it starts at 65 percent front, 35 percent rear and varies from there.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Hyundai Tucson too small? Palisade too big? The 2020 Santa Fe sits right in the middle.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The 2020 Santa Fe interior is as ergonomic as you can get with knobs for climate and volume and tuning, cupholders that are next to the gear shift, and not behind it, and, well there’s a tacked-on looking screen on top of the dash that I don’t love, but it is easy to sneak a look at while driving without taking your eyes too far off the road.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Our 2020 Santa Fe Limited comes standard with leather seats, dual climate control with four-way lumbar adjustment, ventilated seats along with heat and memory, the 8-inch nav screen, surround view monitor and a few other things.</span></div>

2020 Hyundai Elantra Gets Small But Important Updateshttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/2020-hyundai-elantra-gets-small-but-important-updates2020-03-02T08:43:52.900000Z2020-03-02T08:40:17ZCar Craziness<div><br /></div><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/prHsMeHqmelm51FV-eOjqnwVRMNEFSTMgkzoepbbBnMXlGEy_SC-U8pDDCEJu7W1oHR2e2uF9FmamZRxVlWwiR04PCTtOQwaO6TGrT77Lxp1FEKJeJ6ZUcy629bwGu-Cy2Wbj8yU" height="339" width="602" /><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;">The last time we fully tested a </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-elantra/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>Hyundai Elantra</u></span></a><span style="color:#1d2228;">, we were put off by its poky acceleration, stiff ride, and loud engine. We also would’ve liked more standard safety features. Now, with updates for the 2020 model, it’s as if Hyundai heard our complaints—and the complaints of other owners—and fixed the things that had been bugging us.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;">Hyundai has added a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), updated the suspension, and made several advanced safety features—forward-collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB) and lane-keeping assist (LKA)—standard equipment on even the base model.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;">This </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-elantra/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>updated Elantra for 2020</u></span></a><span style="color:#1d2228;"> is now a strong competitor in its class, ready to take on the Honda Civic, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Corolla.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;">We tested a </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-elantra/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;"><u>new Elantra</u></span></a><span style="color:#1d2228;"> from </span><b><span style="color:#1d2228;">Group 1 Hyundai</span></b><span style="color:#1d2228;"> to try it out and see what’s changed. These are our first impressions. </span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div><h2><b><span style="color:#1d2228;">What We Like . . . So Far</span></b></h2><div><span style="color:#1d2228;">The Elantra gets a CVT for the first time, and based on our early miles in the car, we think this is one of the best applications of that type of transmission we’ve driven lately. Often, CVT can amplify whiny engine noise, but that wasn’t the case here. There was some noise when the engine was really pushed hard, but for the most part, the CVT felt like a traditional geared transmission, and it helped the engine deliver adequate power whenever we asked for it. This updated model is not nearly as noisy as its earlier version is. Big wins all around.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;">Notably, the suspension tweaks resulted in a ride that absorbs bumps considerably better than before. That combined with the reduced noise makes the car feel more substantial and refined.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;">Some of the things we liked about the last version still hold true here: It’s a relatively roomy small car with comfortable front seats. Its controls are simple, easy-to-use, and well laid out, a typical trait for Hyundai models right now. It also has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility on the top three trims; they’re not available in the base SE trim.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;">Finally, we also liked that the front passenger seat can be raised and lowered, something that buyers can’t often find in more expensive vehicles. </span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div><h2><b><span style="color:#1d2228;">What We Don’t Like</span></b></h2><div><span style="color:#1d2228;">There wasn’t too much to complain about. Our biggest objection was that the driver’s seat didn’t offer enough lower back support. Lumbar support adjustment is available only on the power seat that comes with the Limited. </span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div><h2><b><span style="color:#1d2228;">Conclusion</span></b></h2><div><span style="color:#1d2228;">The updated Elantra is a competent contender in the small car category, even as the popularity for those cars is waning among shoppers. Still, given its fairly low starting price, buyers could get a real bargain.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;">We’d suggest that shoppers target the SEL trim, which is just above the base level. In addition to FCW, AEB, and LKA, shoppers who choose that trim get blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic warning systems. We know based on an exclusive survey that our members value both of those features. More important, FCW, AEB, and BSW improve safety. Even with all of that, the SEL trim is pretty decent value for the pricetag. </span></div>
<div><span style="color:#1d2228;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div><span style="color:#000000;">The Korean manufacturer displayed a full-scale model of its S-A1 aerial vehicle at the </span><a href="https://www.dezeen.com/tag/ces/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;">Consumer Electronics Show (CES)</span></a><span style="color:#000000;"> this week – the world's biggest consumer electronics show taking place in Las Vegas until January 10.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The vehicle is one potential incarnation of a concept Hyundai called Urban Air Mobility (UAM), wherein small, electric passenger vehicles would make use of the airspace above cities.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/66JiDqZ4QeeFw8lSo47zJd_X0oMX2hAcKvvxhJoy5uc_DyHNYa8WIs6ekFY4De7o_DJ-ophkLO54NWLDVAEtax2OcSlc1nrG4YOeQfXgxx3OrrRlL9LOSd_qvcTr7MH6M44i5L8R" alt="Hyundai and Uber unveil concept design for flying car" height="141" width="602" /><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Alongside the vehicle, it presented designs for the ground-based infrastructure to support a flying-taxi service, run by the likes of partner Uber.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">This includes a "hub" structure with a landing pad on top, and an adaptive minibus that Hyundai calls the "purpose-built vehicle" (PBV).</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Also electric, these PBVs could be customised to serve different functions as they ferry passengers from their pick-up point to the hub for takeoff. Hyundai suggests a coffee shop and a medical clinic as two examples.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/fK8Q-fYB7ynoDFAFGEINl2VqeZ_so1364bJaqXXXIBT40hBg_Sqf2kKg54lQIP5DNEfCxft3Ibi_7V-iVcPX_qawR-Hsl4NU7BB-XcDIvQYDujCD7xssGmIp42F_7ljf0R1JmEyU" alt="Hyundai and Uber unveil concept design for flying car" height="141" width="602" /><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The UAM concept is Hyundai's take on an emerging technology of eVTOL, which stands for electric vertical takeoff and landing.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">With rotor-powered flight eliminating the need for a runway, and electric engines keeping the noise level down, such aerial vehicles could perform short flights over or between cities.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">Uber has been one of the companies leading the eVTOL charge and has presented several aerial vehicle concepts since 2017. Previous designs have included a collaboration with NASA and another with Bell Helicopter.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">With the UAM concept, the vehicles would be piloted in the early stages of commercialisation, but Hyundai intends them to eventually travel autonomously, like personal drones.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/uyZaLtIqtu1-7RujlCe68O4-36Mm3R6rbj6l3JTqLTHHarrHUckToTeOdZjedbKvJbQwCru8ScaRVDHCK-NeWlhBxIDLSc5euVDfV5Lgs9NHyl8cxsJFwGiCd_znLPcf1IFABps2" alt="Hyundai and Uber unveil concept design for flying car" height="405" width="602" /><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">The S-A1 model seats five people, including a pilot. It features multiple rotors, increasing the safety in the case of any individual rotor failure, and has a parachute system for emergencies.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">It is built from lightweight carbon composite materials and features a technology-laden interior for the entertainment and comfort of passengers.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">By partnering with Hyundai, Uber is hoping to draw on the automaker's mass manufacturing capabilities to create a service that is both affordable and accessible.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/9V-f247pmDXd_WdGnotresq0nvVce82H1hvw1MlIDISGkR-j3G3rrXzW49Rfjm9SbR0dLONAqbVidpibYWkxx1-gQY6MIdZHReo20FkPY2jwIWVOWEwtCnkeSoPTvcpSxlSftX3l" alt="Hyundai and Uber unveil concept design for flying car" height="409" width="602" /><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">"Hyundai is our first vehicle partner with experience of manufacturing passenger cars on a global scale," said Uber Elevate head Eric Allison.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">"We believe Hyundai has the potential to build Uber Air vehicles at rates unseen in the current aerospace industry, producing high quality, reliable aircraft at high volumes to drive down passenger costs per trip."</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">"Combining Hyundai's manufacturing muscle with Uber's technology platform represents a giant leap forward for launching a vibrant air taxi network in coming years," he added.</span></div>

<div><span style="color:#000000;">For its part, Hyundai wants to rebrand as a "smart mobility solution provider" and not just a carmaker.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">At CES, its executives extolled the benefits of taking cars off the road, saving people time and "removing urban boundaries".</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">"We are looking at the dawn of a completely new era that will open the skies above our cities," said Hyundai executive vice-president and UAM head Jaiwon Shin.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">"Urban Air Mobility will liberate people from gridlock and reclaim time for people to invest in activities they care about and enjoy," he added.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">While UAM is the latest in a long line of "flying car" concepts, eVTOL technology is still in its infancy, with few companies having tested a prototype. Among the first were Boeing and German start-up </span><a href="https://lilium.com/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color:#1155cc;">Lilium</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">.</span></div>

Here's why Hyundai built a 300kW minibushttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/here-s-why-hyundai-built-a-300kw-minibus2020-01-08T07:02:14.903000Z2020-01-08T06:58:58ZCar Craziness<div><span style="color: #333333;">There isn’t really a market for high-performance vans. Although Mercedes-Benz does a tidy trade by producing an AMG version of practically all its vehicles, there is no V63 AMG.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">Same thing with VW. They have an established van legacy, but you’ll never see a Transporter R. Despite this, Hyundai has shown unexpected initiative in producing a very potent H1 N - a 300kW minibus version of the </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/h1/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u>Hyundai H1 for sale</u></span></a><span style="color: #333333;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><b><span style="color: #333333;">Ingenuity spilling over</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">The Korean automotive brand has made a serious effort of increasing its performance car offering in the last few years, with the i30 N hot hatchback. Now it would appear that some of that ingenuity has spilt over into </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/h1/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u>Hyundai’s H1 people carrier</u></span></a><span style="color: #333333;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">Commissioned as a one-off concept by Hyundai Australia, the H1 N shows that rear-wheel drive and a very long wheelbase can arc some ridiculous drifts.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/702Ib3f1UkpimWfLWL73x28qFdjEreT9dA3BsBnQHKx4rJJad6VYBh1p9xNssgsgaHDXMId_ZfXEks8Qqri-cD6iodKbj4x8Q-XdY-oc-9GMeA1aR_vHPFOSUohiH7FuIrz9Phnp" height="413" width="602" /><div><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></u></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">Distinguished in appearance by its N-specification light blue finish (a hue which is the signature colour for Hyundai’s i30 N hatch) and custom moulded front splitter, the H1 N is not merely a show pony. </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">It rolls on 19-inch wheels from the i30 N and there are electronic dampers at each wheel corner, to help stabilize its substantial weight transfer during high-load cornering.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><b><span style="color: #333333;">Power and comfort</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">Powering the H1 N is a 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine, which boasts a peak power output beyond 300kW and manages to send 555Nm to the rear wheels. An adapted version of Hyundai’s eight-speed automatic transmission controls the tempo of the performance. </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">A limited-slip rear differential enables the H1 N to do what no other van can and drift with aplomb. Even more remarkable is that if you have this H1 N loaded with a full complement of eight passengers, it possesses perfect 50/50 weight distribution.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">To ensure the comfort of its passengers, this hugely potent H1 N has semi-bucket front seats, whilst the second- and third-row benches are retrimmed in a combination of suede and leather.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">Those changes in seat upholstery material should theoretically make passengers less likely to slide about when the H1 N is, in fact, sliding about. But where did Hyundai source the idea of building an overpowered, drift-capable version of its H1?</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">It all started with an innocent April Fool’s, created by Hyundai’s German office, which announced a fictitious H1 N van project earlier this year. </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333;">Hyundai’s Australian staff decided they could make the German office’s vision a reality and as such the H1 N was born. As a proof of concept, the H1 N is ridiculous but also shows that Hyundai is developing a sense of fun within is design teams.</span></div>

Review: 2018 Hyundai i20https://carcraziness.postach.io/post/review-2018-hyundai-i202020-01-08T06:56:44.786000Z2020-01-08T06:49:46ZCar Craziness<div><h2><span style="color: #222222;">We take a road trip in the popular hatchback from Hyundai.</span></h2><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/eQNC3kbjPUJuknjNidNuaaJIMk8qbkRsUdaUzSn7UyLgVUgH5LalOqGvfBLa1CH_5H0qfUtaq31idcYuKIL1YLWf0tYYWq32yr3752-drqwZpBUARhQMB4MQ9A5l3NqCPITDeIHh" height="401" width="602" /></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Hyundai's American division stopped offering the hatchback variant of the i20 in 2017. Buyers seeking an Accent with a fifth door instead of a trunk lid are now encouraged to take a look at the Kona, which is more of a tall, rugged-looking hatchback than a true SUV.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">The Accent hatchback that we would have gotten had the model returned to American showrooms for a new generation exists in many global markets as the </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i20/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u>Hyundai i20 for sale</u></span></a><span style="color: #222222;">. We took a 2018 Hyundai i20 on a trek across Norway to find out.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div> </div>
<div><b><span style="color: #222222;">What is it?</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Pardon our dust; Norway's wet, often unpredictable climate makes for beautiful panoramas but it seriously complicates the task of keeping a car clean for photos. Imagine that the sheet metal is dry and squeaky-clean and you'll notice the i20 falls in line with Hyundai's recent design language without completely copying an existing car like the bigger </span><a href="https://leftlanenews.com/first-drive-2018-hyundai-elantra-gt-sport-review-97121.html" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #000000;">Elantra GT</span></a><span style="color: #222222;"> (sold as the i30 in Europe), the smaller i10, or even the Accent. All of the main styling cues that define a Hyundai in 2018 are accounted for, including the elongated headlights and the cascading grille. The proportions mirror what you'd expect from a car jettisoned in the same market segment as the Ford Fiesta. Designers jumped on the now-departed bandwagon of blacking out the C-pillars to create the illusion of a floating roof. The i20 lacks the </span><a href="https://leftlanenews.com/first-drive-2018-hyundai-kona-review-100157.html" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Kona</span></a><span style="color: #222222;">'s sheer boldness, for better or worse. It's just stylish enough to avoid being labelled boring or stylistically offensive.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">In terms of positioning, it's to the Elantra GT what the Fiesta is to the Focus and the Honda Fit is to the Civic. It's not the smallest Hyundai, though. That distinction goes to the aforementioned i10, a truly tiny four-door hatchback positioned as an alternative to the Volkswagen up!, the Peugeot 108, and the </span><a href="https://driving.ca/reviews/road-test/renault-twingo" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #000000;">Renault Twingo</span></a><span style="color: #222222;">, among other models buyers could mistake for a Matchbox car.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Pricing varies from market to market, and exchange rates are never as straightforward in real life as Google's widget suggests. Get accurate and competitive </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i20/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u>i20 for sale prices</u></span></a><span style="color: #222222;"> from </span><b><span style="color: #222222;">Group 1 Hyundai</span></b><span style="color: #222222;">.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><b><span style="color: #222222;">The interior</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">The i20 offers space for five passengers, though we'd recommend saving the middle seat for carrying small children or a six-pack of beer and only cramming an adult in it as a last resort. Stick to four or fewer and the interior is spacious considering the car's relatively small footprint. Hyundai scattered several storage bins around the cabin, including one in each front door that's big enough to store a 16-ounce water bottle. We didn't feel cramped during our week-long trip with two people- your author included - on board and everything we needed for a long day's worth of driving (like an MP3 player and a cup of coffee) was never far from reach. The trunk is big enough for a large suitcase plus a few smaller items like a backpack, snacks, and a camera bag.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Many of the parts within the driver's line of sight and touch are made from materials that really aren't bad at all considering the i20's price point. It's a breath of fresh air in this segment. Some bits and pieces feel cheap - for example, the bottom parts of the front door panels might as well be made from melted Playmobil sets - but that's par for the course on this end of the new car spectrum, we can't fault Hyundai.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Nearly every aspect of the infotainment system is as average as it gets, including the resolution and the response time. The software is fairly easy to navigate because there are hard buttons on either side of the colour touch screen for quick access to functions like the radio, the media options, and the navigation interface. We liked that the menus are relatively shallow, you don't have to dive six levels deep to program a multi-destination itinerary into the navigation. However, zooming in and out of the map requires using the knob on the right side of the screen, which isn't nearly as user-friendly as the pinch-to-zoom motion we've all gotten used to in recent years thanks largely to Google and Apple.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">We noted several other annoying traits in the i20, including some that we can likely chalk up to personal preference. We absolutely never agreed with the automatic wipers on when to wipe the windshield. And, on an oddly similar note, the automatic headlights took a little longer to turn on. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div> </div>
<div><b><span style="color: #222222;">The drive</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Our tester came with a turbocharged, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine tuned to make 99 horsepower at 4,500 rpm and 127 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm. It spins the front wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. Hyundai offers a 1.2-liter four-cylinder as an entry-level engine, while the list of options available to buyers who select the triple includes a dual-clutch automatic gearbox.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">We've rarely praised three-cylinder engines. Many of the ones available in Europe make the car they're stuffed in feel like a 25-year old riding lawn mower that needs a tune-up. They sound like a loud, angry sewing machine. They're poky and hate to be rushed. They vibrate like a Massey-Ferguson 135 at idle. From this vantage point, what's there to like?</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Hyundai's triple sings a different tune. There's no mistaking it for a four-cylinder at start-up, especially on a cold morning, but the noise quickly quiets down and settles into a much more tolerable note. It doesn't wobble when it idles, or if it does it refrains from sharing its vibrations with the occupants.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Our trip took us from Oslo to Bergen and back with countless detours and zigzags between the two cities. Driving in Norway is bittersweet. The roads are scenic, well-paved, engaging, and we rarely encountered heavy traffic. It sounds like the Norwegians should put a Miata on their flag, right?</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">That's what we thought, too, until we realized speed cameras grow on the side of the road like mushrooms, police officers watch the road network like a hawk circling around a prey, and the fines for speeding are eye-wateringly expensive. We reluctantly set the cruise control to 80 kilometers per hour (50 miles per hour; the speed limit across most of Norway), sat back, and enjoyed the view. The </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i20/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u>i20 </u></span></a><span style="color: #222222;">obliged. The 1.0-liter is happy to cruise along in fifth gear and its torque got us up moderately steep hills without asking for a downshift into fourth. Hyundai did a good job of spreading out the gears and every cog has its purpose. We were never tempted to skip second or fourth like we've done while accelerating in other comparably-sized cars we've driven recently.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Our consolation prize was the quick realization that we wouldn't have had a blast behind the wheel even if we had decided to throw caution to the wind and hoon the hell out of the i20 for a few miles. There is zero steering feel. You turn the steering wheel, the car changes direction, but what happens between the two - and any information the tires pick up from the pavement - is a complete and utter mystery. That's perfectly fine, the i20 is not sold as a driver's car and it doesn't need to be on.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Ease of use is the i20's mission in life. It comes into its own in cities. The clutch pedal is super light, the gear lever is easy to operate, and the effortless steering makes manoeuvring in a tight parking garage or between the tour buses beached in downtown Oslo a breeze. The suspension soaks up small imperfections in the road but lets bigger bumps filter through. It's comfortable, though, and it keeps body roll in check. We found the brakes to be adequate for every situation we needed to stop in.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">The triple has one more trick up its sleeve. According to the trip computer, we averaged about 17 kilometers per liter over the course of our roughly 1,100-mile trip. The i20's impressive fuel economy was a real boon. Don't assume the fuel is cheap in an oil-rich nation like Norway. It's actually slightly more expensive than in a country like France that has never seen a nodding donkey.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><b><span style="color: #222222;">The verdict</span></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">The Hyundai i20 keeps its promise of delivering easy, stress-free motoring without making anyone travelling in the car feel like they've been sent to a four-wheeled jail cell. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the i20 to anyone seeking a small, affordable car, whether it's a college student, a young couple, or an older driver who needs a city roundabout. </span></div>

Prices announced for new 2020 Hyundai i10https://carcraziness.postach.io/post/prices-announced-for-new-2020-hyundai-i102020-01-08T06:48:55.071000Z2020-01-08T06:44:52ZCar Craziness<div><h1><span style="font-size: 24px;"><span style="color: #111111;">The all-new Hyundai i10 city car gets a major tech and safety kit boost.</span></span></h1></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 24px;"><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">The third-generation i10 model will go on sale in the UK in January 2020, where it will rival the Volkswagen up!, Citroen C1 and To</span><span style="color: #000000;">yota Aygo</span><span style="color: #222222;">.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Standard equipment for the new Hyundai i10 includes 35.5 cm steel wheels with hub caps, manual air conditioning, a DAB radio with 9,65cm display, front and rear electric windows, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, cruise control, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and Bluetooth connectivity.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Hyundai also boasts that the new i10 will offer one of the most comprehensive safety equipment packages in the city car class. As standard, buyers get autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, hill-start assist, a driver attention alert sensor and a tyre pressure monitoring system.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/uniwHmOdK8zffYDhs9_b1msZy9Ugel5p_2Tq_p0suI80JggUtvIiIs9l0BXmHYrs5_KiyaBgeMM8fRcbdJiHAScGsPKkQSfblT0R_trpPgczAN75OOvxQ-H_7ZtNak2N382LTvQ6" alt="Hyundai i10 - Frankfurt front" height="280" width="420" /><div><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></u></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Upgrades over the base-model include 15-inch alloy wheels, a rear-view camera, a four-speaker stereo system and an eight-inch infotainment system with voice recognition and support for </span><a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/90250/apple-carplay-review-user-guide-and-everything-you-need-to-know" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #026ac3;">Apple CarPlay</span></a><span style="color: #222222;"> and Android Auto.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Hyundai’s range-topping i10 Premium adds 40.6 cm alloy wheels, uprated halogen headlamps, LED daytime running lights, front fog lamps and rear privacy glass. Inside, buyers get heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and honeycomb trim for the dashboard, door cards and gear lever surround.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Buyers of the i10 Premium can also choose from a range of optional extras, including Hyundai’s Tech Pack which adds a wireless smartphone charger, satellite navigation and an intelligent speed limit warning system. Two-tone paint can be specified, while metallic or pearlescent paint costs an additional as well.Two petrol engines are available: a 1.0-litre three-cylinder or an 1.2-litre four-cylinder. The former unit is available on all models in the range and produces 66bhp and 96Nm of torque. It has respective economy and emissions figures of 56.5mpg and 101g/km of CO2 under the WLTP test cycle.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">The more powerful 1.20-litre unit is only available on SE Connect models and above. The engine produces 83bhp and 118Nm of torque, offering claimed economy and emissions figures of 55.4mpg and 105g/km of CO2 respectively. Both engines can also be specced with either a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><h2><span style="color: #111111;">New 2020 Hyundai i10: market and design</span></h2><div><span style="color: #222222;">The market for entry-level city runabouts has shrunk rapidly in recent months, with the Ford Ka+, Renault Twingo and Suzuki Celerio all being axed from UK showrooms. But Hyundai shows no sign of leaving the segment any time soon, with the recent launch of what it’s calling the most hi-tech city car ever.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/D_embWvys4uTsDMTuwM2Fv70Wutcp8p3IGSn7iE4PI9aM-hgXA8SDDk16Wun1YLjRHOZh5IMIxXGqzYhr4OvPnvVYh4XHggFoLXb3Vaer3hyxyu2bORMUzeKw22n2PjaAEAc-s8K" alt="Hyundai i10 - Frankfurt rear" height="280" width="420" /><div style="text-align:center;"> </div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Hyundai’s Volkswagen up! rival is completely new from top to bottom. It sits 20mm lower and 20mm wider than the second-generation i10, while elements like the cascading grille, complete with slimmer headlights and LED spot lamps on higher-specced models, give it a more upmarket look.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">The newcomer is just 5mm longer than its predecessor, but its wheelbase has grown by 40mm, pushing the wheels further out towards each corner. Hyundai says this not only gives its smallest model a sportier look but improves cabin space, too. Rear legroom has increased to a point where Hyundai claims that four adults will find more than enough space inside – impressive for a car in this class. At a push, there’s room for a fifth occupant as well.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">At 252 litres, the boot is exactly the same size as the old model’s, and it’s a class-leading figure. A false floor can be raised up to create a flat loading area when the seats are folded down, or lowered to make the most of the space available. The new dashboard design carries over certain elements from the old model, such as the raised position of the gear lever. Others, like the slim central air vents, are inspired by the Kona crossover.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/PqGI9aoyPv486oldC6ihnQukX4ckbcBPJCULlzLuiu-rHwLAo9JgEuv1zHZ5IxUQ2fVxqICL_kMmyb7X5f8gNh0vf3eGTf_KnaKuSSf0vus4bS6f-v8h0OE9iog6dSwwwbDz4DzJ" alt="Hyundai i10 - cabin studio" height="280" width="420" /><div><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></u></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">However, the most significant update for the i10 comes in the shape of the infotainment system. The housing for the new eight-inch touchscreen display, which is largely similar to the unit used in the i30, flows in one continuous sweep towards the instrument panel and features physical shortcut keys around the outside. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">The system is linked to Hyundai’s Bluelink telematics app, which allows i10 drivers to use their smartphone to search for parking spaces, fuel stations and points of interest, and then send the results directly to the car’s navigation system. In a class where rivals such as the up! offer little more than a smartphone cradle, a full-size infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto gives the i10 an edge.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #222222;">Finally, while there aren’t any immediate plans for an all-electric version of the i10 when pressed, Hyundai insiders wouldn’t rule out the prospect for the future.</span></div>

<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="https://www.autoblog.com/hyundai/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(3, 132, 206);">Hyundai</span></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> managed to sneak in a mid-cycle update for the 2019 model year to keep things fresh, too. This makes it a slightly more enticing option now, but the large swath of new competitors out there makes for an especially difficult choice in this segment. We would never call the Tucson the most dynamic or fun-to-drive crossover, but it does offer up a handy bit of utility and comfort at a relatively low price point.</span></span></div>

<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Hyundai didn't change much for the 2020 model year. Four colors get swapped out: Stellar Silver replacing Molten Silver, Magnetic Force replacing Coliseum Grey, Winter White replacing Dazzling White, and Cream White replacing White Pearl. The only other modification is leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob expanding availability down to the Sport trim. </span></span></div>

<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">The design and layout of the interior is functional, all the way up to the most expensive "Ultimate" trim level. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">As all modern Hyundai infotainment systems go, this one is easy to use and relatively simple, but it isn’t the prettiest to look at. Both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard on the cheapest of Tucsons, because Hyundai makes its 7-inch touchscreen standard equipment. An 8-inch screen with navigation and upgraded audio system is added to the Limited and Ultimate trims. Every trim but the base SE makes heated front seats standard, too. The rear seats are heated on the top Ultimate trim.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/QLvmXcgW6jFQblmqtcV5NjE_n3BX_b52k2MntOFW6Oq-SAq-cBMujJ3ol41tARyd_YgRr1YZR8QE2b1dXy32IMRhkPGv09UcCJdpHumU0Xf_ySCm9MJPEiZoi-QvziTPeNhJ_AQR" height="339" width="602" /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/fRFkZX_-ek55GK3osP-MOPl1cowEkn8SccuISwAOCtbNCzxafQPZkb617fAL7mL0OXXbgyoR9X23b3Xyx8fuYoELqVaRNe398BB6xU-1ZLYC0MJbxeDFX-rp45yD1jBVfHvgCbOG" height="339" width="602" /><h2><b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">How big is Tucson?</span></b></h2><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">The 2020 Hyundai Tucson fits neatly into the ever-growing compact crossover segment. It measures 176.2 inches in overall length, which makes it one of the smaller vehicles among its competitors. It’s also lacking in ground clearance compared to others, coming in at just 6.4 inches. While that’s not ideal for mud or deep snow, it does make getting in and out of the Tucson easier.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Legroom and cargo capacity are average, but the cargo area is well-shaped and the full space is usable. The rear seats fold down flat, leaving you a well proportioned and natural loading area for heavy lifts. Space in the second row is plenty for most folks, so longer trips should remain comfortable for those relegated to the back seats. </span></div>

<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">There are two engine options available for the 2020 Hyundai Tucson. The base engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 161 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 181 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque is standard on SEL and above. Both the engines are connected to six-speed automatic transmissions. We’ve only driven a Tucson with the bigger four-cylinder engine and found the power to be on the lower side of adequate. The less powerful 2.0-liter will just feel even slower. We weren’t disappointed in the performance from the smooth and relatively responsive six-speed torque converter automatic. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is optional. The best fuel economy is achieved by the front-wheel drive Tucson with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder. It’s rated at 23 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined. That drops to 21/26/23 mpg when you go for the top-of-the-line 2.4-liter with all-wheel drive. These numbers aren’t best-in-class, but we managed to match the EPA numbers in real world driving on the latter. </span></div>
<div><br /></div><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/odumEJDJRg-09osmN45SMX-ITadcCJ0s3vUd4hcPz7qvxYVoEr3SASQdLgP19aG5RP2VdLKvsgOaFDRm-D701q0dOFeTmk_4C3Vmi6FPKZpnaZDIDwCmi_twqob_TA4IJizmW008" height="339" width="602" /><h2><b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">What’s the Tucson like to drive?</span></b></h2><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">The Hyundai Tucson is generally pleasant to drive around town during a </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/demo-vehicles/tucson/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><u>test drive</u></span></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">. Its handling is adequate, and while it’s not especially maneuverable at low speeds, it never feels big when winding through tight parking lots. The front-driver has a tendency to torque steer at low speeds, like those encountered when taking a 90-degree turn after a stop sign, which is why we'd recommend the Magna-sourced all-wheel drive and its accompanying torque-vectoring system. Capable of shunting torque to the wheel with the most grip, the system proved sure-footed. Through the turns, we were able to feel the system at work, shifting torque as needed. There's also a lock mode that forces a perfect 50-50 split between front and rear for low-traction situations. Comfort is normal crossover fare — it soaks up bumps well, and body motions are kept in check.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">We do miss the spunky turbocharged engine from before; the new, larger naturally-aspirated four-cylinder doesn’t provide much passing power once you’re up to speed. There was no snow on the ground when we tested a 2019 Tucson, but the optional all-wheel drive system should keep things moving forward in the fluffy stuff.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><h2><b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">What more can I read about the Tucson?</span></b></h2><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/wg7k9DS4XNglJ-1BpsnrFzKTKW5bZFkNx00rv6ZggNENutlFA3QcWbIKGK78ft1v58DI1AoyldfJ_Xj9kFqOPuhZyPv6_Pj7wahAn40hRo9MXaru6Livpcx_Z-ilEeu7YTAD0zaU" height="339" width="602" /><h3><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">When the car came out for the 2016 model year at </span><b><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Group 1 Hyundai</span></b><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">, it was a big deal for Hyundai, which promised a </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/demo-vehicles/tucson/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><u>unique redesigned Tucson</u></span></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> and more fun driving characteristics to help it stand out.</span></h3><div><br /></div><h2><b><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">What are Tucson’s safety equipment and crash ratings?</span></b></h2><div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Hyundai makes a few driver assistance options standard, but there are even more available as you hike up the trim levels. The base SE has forward collision avoidance and lane-keeping assist. Step up to the Value, and you get blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Adaptive cruise control and auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection become standard when you step up to the Night and Ultimate trims.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">The Tucson has received excellent safety ratings from both the IIHS and </span><a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/HYUNDAI/TUCSON/SUV/AWD" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(3, 132, 206);">NHTSA</span></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">.

It scored Good in all the major crashworthiness categories. The NHTSA gave it a 5-star overall rating, with nearly every breakout crash category receiving a similar 5-star rating.</span></div>

<div><a href="https://www.motor1.com/hyundai/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Hyundai</span></a><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"> has gone on an SUV blitz. For 2020, the South Korean automaker will have six different SUVs in its lineup, ranging from the exceptionally small and cute Venue to the impressively large and in charge Palisade.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">The 2019 </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-kona/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><u>Hyundai Kona</u></span></a><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"> is one size above the Venue and considered subcompact in size. The relatively new nameplate (2018 was its first model year) has joined an ultra-crowded and competitive segment where vehicles like the Honda HR-V, Subaru Crosstrek, and cross-country rival Kia Soul have dominated.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">What the Kona offers is unique, though polarizing, styling and an impressive cabal of safety features that are tough to match. It also flubs some of the fundamentals that its competitors get right.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><b><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">Design</span></b><span style="color: rgb(25, 152, 252);">⠀</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">Truth be told, we applaud Hyundai and its designers for making the Kona look unique. While the design is interesting, it’s also busy, with a lot of intakes and vents that go nowhere and do nothing.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">For instance, the horizontal line above the main grille that appears to be an intake is just for show and allows no air through. The "body cladding" around the Kona’s lower half, which the designers use effectively to project a rough-and-tumble image, is actually painted like the rest of the body panels and will suffer scrapes and scratches just the same, as opposed to typical body cladding that’s unpainted dark plastic and meant to take abuse that would damage paint. At least, that’s what we see on the Ultimate trim, and it’s also this way on the Iron Man edition.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">It’s like Hyundai’s designers took many of today’s cliched styling cues and collected them on the Kona. It’s got the separated low- and high-beam lights from the Juke, the busy lines of the CH-R, the ultra-short rear overhang of the Crosstrek, and the floating roof effect from so many SUVs on sale today. Altogether, it’s a little much.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">The Kona’s interior, though, is executed in typical Korean fashion, which is to say very well. The screens are large, the materials feel above average in quality, and the design is functional and aesthetically neutral. The three highest trims – the Limited, Ultimate, and Iron Man Edition – all get standard leather seating, as well.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/kTasQqt5ERap3RBFkf-cEAG1xLvbyjaf5ZT6bKbYdoUvlvvVV7wDUeGCw4gnGQGIT-E7t--1GEEYAc-9GjN5viL9KNR0FiGOxltUjFtjYjIqfVKa-5F-YJfGw3jVwQaAw2vGdv7a" height="339" width="602" /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/3iHN5W6JljT92qnd9nZ94PObiuwBbvDKWnD-VGQUahkCqtrbv__WAaSqnIarPzHIKODsntzJ4qKnrFELap0QJUOzAEInD2Hk3Dzfm4RISEtWAPaYnjmvrLwylbpesZ1tFIrJBeNJ" height="339" width="602" /><div><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><u><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></u></span></div>

<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">The Kona is a reasonably comfortable vehicle, particularly for front seat passengers. The cabin does allow a fair amount of noise to enter, particularly from the engine bay, but that’s a common fault of affordable SUVs like these.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">Subcompact SUVs aren’t known for having lots of rear legroom. The Kona’s rear headroom is more competitive at 37.8 inches, but still falls behind the Crosstrek at 38.0 inches, the HR-V at 38.3 inches, and the voluminous Kia Soul at 39.6 inches.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">With the rear seats up, 19.2 cubic feet of space is available, and when the rear seats are folded, only 45.8 cubes are available.</span></div><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/VRPWOF1YXcqeHrX-BGzdPMJSDC16dZK3KNRDMdyibTwUPRGQHSaefX0R3ZWXAVugdZgDdtJlPqcWSl1WWK6xkFtQh8d9Kqi7WMDkOxtVAAjhEkOGaB6p2P7l3dxvemyudL-iUcx8" height="339" width="602" /><div><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><u><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></u></span></div>

<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">Korean automakers are well known for offering highly competent infotainment tech in their cars, and the Kona is no exception. While lesser trims get a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display with no navigation, the Ultimate (and even higher-spec Iron Man Edition) get an 8.0-inch touchscreen with navigation. Powering the screen is the latest version of Hyundai’s Blue Link infotainment software, which, while not bringing much new to the table, nails the basics such as having fast response times, good-looking graphics, and easy-to-navigate menus.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">The Kona Ultimate, though, is well configured with tech beyond just its infotainment system. Of course, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are present, but the Ultimate also comes standard with a 4.2-inch color information display between its gauges, a head-up display (the kind that raises a small acrylic panel ahead of the driver on which to project information), wireless smartphone charging, and an upgraded Infinity audio system with eight speakers.</span></div>
<div><br /></div><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Zdjx6Zg5muErNh_ItaT7XSDgkRwpfh0SIrPXaecE1T3l1FoYthLDQ15BymBQpIdXpGTIR45aA-YqE9JnC-QiOh2GB4y2fOtSt7OWG0_YCpI_akaGnYxigzMHyiXAzhYRHhHM4aG7" height="339" width="602" /><div><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><u><span style="--en-markholder:true;"><br /></span></u></span></div>
<div><b><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">Performance & Handling</span></b><span style="color: rgb(25, 152, 252);">⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀</span><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"> </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">We don’t set a high bar for vehicles like this in regards to performance and handling. Really, all an economical subcompact crossover SUV needs to be fun to drive is a competent suspension, willing powertrain, and quick and accurate steering. Unfortunately, the Kona lacks at least two out of three.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">The Kona’s biggest issue is its handling due to suspension tuning that lacks both firmness and control. It’s not just that the springs feel soft and there’s body roll, which they are and there is, but also that the rebound from suspension movement lacks control. Perhaps the suspension’s damping isn’t strong enough, because often times it felt unsettled after big body movements like hard turns and stops.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">The </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-kona/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><u>Kona’s turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine</u></span></a><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"> produces 175 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. That’s enough power to make this 3,062-pound small SUV feel on the faster side of the segment. Yes, it’s faster than it is slow, but not quick. For that, it would need the turbo 1.6 from its corporate cousin, the Kia Soul, which produces more than 200 hp.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">Nevertheless, it’s not the Kona’s engine that gets in the way of fun, but rather its seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This transmission lacks refinement, especially starting from a stop, like at a stoplight, or shifting from Reverse to Drive. A twitchiness and jerk occurs in situations like these that genuinely had us wondering if there were a problem with the transmission.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">All that said, performance and handling generally aren’t high on the list of must-haves for people who shop little SUVs like the Kona. For those without the ability to discern well- from great-handling vehicles, the Kona’s driving dynamics will likely go unnoticed.</span></div>

<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">The Kona has remarkable safety bona fides for a vehicle that starts under R200,000, and they’re even better on a fully loaded example like this Ultimate. For starters, it earns the highest possible crash test ratings from both the government-backed National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the private Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Kona earns a full five-star overall rating on the NHTSA battery of tests and a coveted Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS. The latter is particularly impressive, as IIHS included a new, extra stringent requirement for high-quality forward lighting, which some vehicles costing twice as much as the Kona don’t meet.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">Next, all of the Kona’s trim levels come with advanced safety technology such as lane-keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. Excluding the base SE trim level, the rest of the Kona lineup also gets blind-spot monitoring and rear-cross-traffic alert systems as standard equipment. And finally, our top-of-the-line Ultimate tester adds pedestrian detection, parking sensors, LED headlights (also standard on the Limited), and automatic high-beam headlights. Again, this sort of cocoon of safety isn’t common on economical vehicles like the Kona, and Hyundai has set the bar high for its competitors.</span></div>

<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">The Kona’s combined fuel economy, as rated by the Environmental Protection Agency, is 30 miles per gallon. Along with a city rating of 28 mpg and a highway rating of 32 mpg, Hyundai’s little crossover does just well enough to earn a high score in this category. At 30 mpg combined, though, the Kona’s fuel economy with front-wheel drive is average among its competitors.</span></div>

<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">During the Nurburgring 24, I was afforded some time to speak with the local German car company Hyundai and two of its executives, Albert Biermann, Head of R&D for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis, and Thomas Schemera, Head of Global Product Strategy & Design for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis. Both of these gentlemen are former BMW execs who made the transition to the Korean brands, and their influence has already been seen in many ways, including the addition of the Hyundai N performance car sub-brand. It was pretty clear that both are enthusiastic about the work they are doing, and it was an excellent opportunity to hear about the future of Hyundai straight from the source. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">So, the context of all this discussion is that there is a 24 hour race going on outside the window, there are four American car writers sitting in round table with each Hyundai exec individually. We ostensibly had 10 minutes to ask whatever we wanted to know about the future of Hyundai, though that stretched into 30 minutes plus for both of them, annnnnnnd go...</span></div>

Instead of kicking them to the curb, Hyundai has doubled down on sedans, giving us a new Accent just last year, and a new Sonata this year. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><b><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Thomas Schemera: </span></b><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">"If you ask my personal opinion, [Ford, FCA, etc. dropping sedans in favor of SUVs and CUVs] is a big mistake. Everybody is going now for SUVs, everybody thinks that the market for sedans is going down.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Our way of thinking is maybe to differentiate the sedans a little bit more in detail. Think about rugged style. If the look and feel of sedans is different, you make the difference. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">How boring is life if you just see SUVs on the road? This is boring. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">And everybody thinks ‘OH, forget about sedans! This doesn’t work!’ They have to put more brain into it, you know? Yeah, to make the difference. Maybe to design, to compose, or to interpret a sedan more differently. The space and utilization of a sedan is from my point of view also unbeatable. This is a nice thing."</span></div>
<div><br /></div><h3><b><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Hyundai Says Performance EV is in the Cards</span></b></h3><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/dcwowQc4zm7390rfBQC5KbU94_4R5NENnSHNYwRj98vbM6lQZIvoD-6zAmtzQ8NsIHtX7GzSFq3yo2xTDl6kweEdadwOK6zZKcByuE3dqZTRD9EVgZ9m2ZQidJyPzHPtG0iwyQHK" alt="Illustration for article titled Hyundai Isn't Giving up on Sedans and Neither Am I" height="1" width="1" /><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In addition to sedans, I love electric cars. They’re so nice and easy to drive, and the performance can be killer. I drove the standard Ioniq last week, and while it was perfectly competent as a commuter, it didn’t really set my soul on fire. Hyundai might have a way to change that. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To prove the concept of a performance EV sedan, Hyundai popped the 201 horsepower 291 lb-ft motor from the KONA into the Ioniq, updated the suspension, gave it a big brake package, and fitted wider sticky tires to turn this normally staid sedan into a performance machine. Then it was entered in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge series. I dig it. </span></div>

[Hyundai has joined the roster of manufacturers developing a car for the electric touring car series ETCR next year with Rimac support. The two companies are also allegedly working on </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">a mid-engine EV sports car for the street as well</span></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.] It does ring a bell from my point of view. We are heading forward, not just for high performance, but also to learn for production cars as well.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I guess at the current point of time, in terms of ICE conventional powertrains, these things have an advantage, but it will be reduced very dramatically in the future to come. We are going to stick with our philosophy, there’s no doubt about it, "fun to drive" is our focus. But you can do it with alternative powertrains as well. Be it a BEV or fuel cell. And this is exactly what our company is now very concentrated on accomplishing."</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><b><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Albert Biermann:</span></b><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> "First of all, we need to prepare for a time where by regulation and laws we cannot put the traditional race cars out anymore. So we have to do something to keep racing, right? That is job number one. We are preparing to do that.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">A battery electric race car, you can really go into the cities and make a good show. You saw the WTCR cars, right? You can give a show. If it’s battery electric or not, okay the sound isn’t there, but I think our touring car racing, this is true racing. Fighting like crazy. That also goes with battery electric.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I’m quite optimistic that those [E-WTCR] races will also be very enjoyable. We need to go into this. Our car will run this year for the first time. Let’s see how we can move on with E-WTCR. We want to support E-WTCR, clearly. We made that commitment. Let’s see how much fun we can squeeze out of battery electric racing." </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Just the night before talking to Albert, I test drove a couple of hours in an i30 N and an Ionic EV. So, I asked if an Ionic N is in the pipeline. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">"Yeah, we had already a concept car, our U.S. tech office, they made a fancy Ioniq. They tuned it a little bit. Did some autocross or something? [He’s talking about the Ioniq that Hyundai raced in Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge, shown below.] And we also have a concept car in Namyang, we tuned it. I wouldn’t call it an N. But yeah, we are testing the waters. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Yeah, I mean, sooner or later there will be a battery-electric N. It’s just a matter of time. But then there’s a time maybe when that is even over. And then there will probably be a fuel cell electric N. That depends. If we keep in small segments then maybe battery electric is still the right way to go. When we talk about larger cars, SUVs, we have to go fuel cell electric."</span></div>

I vastly prefer to value driver confidence and driving enjoyment over the search for ever lower lap times. While Renault is happy to grab headlines by bolting sticky tires and crazy suspension to a hatchback, it’s probably a quick but not very easy to drive hot hatch. There’s a tipping point where lap times make a car unusable for street driving. It is for that reason I feel Nürburgring lap times are meaningless. </span></div>

But the final decision we make in Schwedenkreuz [widely considered the trickiest corner of the Nordschleife, or at least </span></a><a href="https://www.bridgetogantry.com/video-is-schwedenkreuz-the-most-dangerous-corner-on-the-nurburgring/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">probably the most dangerous</span></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">]. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Those are the corners where we finally decide about the aero balance. Where the not-so-professional driver can still feel comfortable in that high-speed corner when you go over that little crest and the car becomes light. You want a planted back to feel safe. And not feel scared when the car is everywhere and you get the heartbeat because you are scared. We want the heartbeat because you have fun. This is why we are here." </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Later in the conversation, I asked Mr. Biermann what he thought of hot hatches like the </span><a href="https://jalopnik.com/honda-says-a-civic-type-r-prototype-destroyed-the-fwd-n-1689142579" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">Honda Civic Type-R</span></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> and </span><a href="https://jalopnik.com/the-renault-megane-rs-trophy-r-just-beat-up-the-civic-t-1834934819" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">Renault Megane RS Trophy-R</span></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> breaking FWD production car N-ring records. Here’s what he had to say. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">"No. For this, we developed the Veloster N and i30 N TCR race cars. This is the job of race cars, to make a fast lap time and to win races. And last year in our first season, we won the world championship in WTCR. I think that statement should be clear enough to everybody. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">And a road car is first of all fun to drive. And of course race track capability to enjoy it. But if I make a car for the lap time, that aero setup would be completely different. That makes no sense. We want young people to enjoy the car, and not only very fast driving journalists or hire a race driver who is driving over the kerbs like a maniac with a special suspension setup just to find that other four, five, six seconds to beat some record. That’s not our game. We work for customers, not for media story. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">And to win races and lap time making, we have the TCR cars. It’s as easy as that." </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I gotta admit, I agree 100 percent. It’s been proven hundreds of times that eking out the final few seconds of a lap time doesn’t make the car more fun to drive or more engaging. Often the opposite. *coughs* Porsche GT3 RS *coughs*</span></div>

In fact, the rendering images show that the next model will share its basic shape with the outgoing model. It will feature the same funky headlamps, centre-mounted daytime running lights and bumper design. The hatchback is likely to receive mild tweaks to front and rear bumpers.</span></div>

It is expected that the next i0 will go petrol only and is not likely to receive diesel engine due to the increase in price gap between petrol and diesel cars. Both manual and automatic versions are likely to be on offer.</span></div>

Its overall look is more playful and rugged than Hyundai’s other SUVs, and as a result, it stands out — far out.</span></div>

Skinny LED daytime running lights sit high on the corners, and the headlights sit lower in a pod formation flanking the grille. The Kona also wears a generous amount of black cladding on all sides that gives it a rough, outdoorsy effect.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">What is it?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s the facelift of a very popular premium hatchback, so naturally, there was a lot of anticipation for it. When the wraps came off it at the 2018 Auto Expo, however, the first impression was that not much had changed. Even afterwards, when we placed photos of the old and new side by side, it was a tricky game of ‘spot the difference’. Now that we have the car with us for some closer inspection, let’s see if there’s more than meets the eye.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s it like on the outside?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yes, at first glance, it’s hard to spot the changes at the front. The i20 already had a wide hexagonal grille, so the fact that it’s a bit curvier now is easy to miss. Similarly, the bumper itself is ever so slightly more sculpted to fit the new triangular fog lamps, and the functional air ducts beside them that are said to reduce turbulence in the wheel wells and aid aerodynamic efficiency. The headlamps, as per a previous update, now feature projector elements and LED daytime running lamps. The rear of the i20 looks much better updated, thanks to new tail-lamp graphics that light up in a horizontal line; neat, but frankly we prefer the old style that was similar to what you get on the Verna, Elantra and Tucson. There’s also a slightly reprofiled tailgate and a thick blacked out section in the bumper that really adds some character. You can opt for a black coloured roof (our car doesn’t have it) and there’s a new set of alloy wheels, which look good, but thanks to their design, actually appear smaller than the earlier car’s set. They are, however, the same 16-inch size.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s it like on the inside?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">Again, on the inside, the changes are not easy to spot. The fabric on the seats now has a hounds-tooth pattern, which is a cool, almost retro touch. Some of the buttons and controls on the steering wheel and dashboard new too, the central AC vents have been redesigned slightly and the touchscreen has a matte finish so it’s easier to see in bright sunlight. In terms of equipment, it’s still up to the same high standard as before, except one of the 12v charging points has, handily, been replaced with a USB charging outlet (this is separate from the USB port for connecting devices). The touchscreen is one of the best around, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a simple, clean and easy-to-use interface. At the rear, you now get ISOFIX mounting points, and a fold-down armrest, which is a segment first.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s it like to drive?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">There have been no mechanical changes on this facelifted i20, but there has been a bit of retuning to both the engine and the chassis. For instance, Hyundai says it has achieved a nine percent increase in fuel economy thanks to a slight remapping of the engine and those aero ducts in the front bumper. In truth, you can feel it a bit when you drive. In this diesel car, for example, the bottom end feels a bit stronger and some of the punch at the top end is missing, thanks to changes to the fuelling. The change is not too drastic, and if you drive primarily in the city, you will appreciate the improved low-end responses. What remains unchanged is the smooth nature of this motor and the light and easy gearshift action.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">In a bid to make it a bit more engaging to drive, Hyundai has also tinkered a bit with the suspension and the steering of the i20. They’ve stiffened the rear suspension a little bit and you can feel that in the way the car isn’t quite as bouncy coming off a large speedbreaker, for instance. They’ve also sharpened up the steering a bit and reduced the slack at the centre position to make it feel a bit more engaging than before. Truth be told, this is still no driver’s car, and to truly improve the dynamics would require a full generational leap – as we saw with the new Verna, but it’s good to see Hyundai is trying to improve things on the current-generation car.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">Should I buy one?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall, this facelift appears to be a case of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, and really, not much was broken with the Hyundai i20. It’s also worth remembering that Hyundai has been giving the i20 small, regular updates over the years, particularly to the equipment list, and this is why the facelift doesn’t feel as much of a change as most facelifts do. The long equipment list couldn’t have gotten much longer and the interior quality was already pretty much at the top of the class. Even the changes to the engine mapping are very minor. What is much appreciated is the small but effective attention that’s been paid to dynamics, for whatever it’s worth. So yes, the </span><a href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/i20/" style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-skip: none; white-space: pre-wrap; text-decoration: underline;">2018 Hyundai i20</a><span style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"> hasn’t changed all that much with the facelift, but then, it didn’t really need to.</span></div>

This new SUV will be a replacement for the Hyundai Creta (sold as ix25 in some markets like China) and was first shown at the recent Shanghai Auto show 2018.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"> </span></div>

Upfront, the new Hyundai ix25 gets a massive cascade grille, similar to the one seen on the Hyundai Venue compact SUV (launched May 21) and on the full-size Hyundai Palisade SUV that is sold abroad. It gets a split headlight design with slim LED lamps placed on the top of the main headlamps (with projector units and LED daytime running lamps) that are placed in a separate unit a bit lower on the front bumper. The front bumper gets a separate set of fog lamps on each corner that is divided by a faux skid plate that adds to its SUV look</span></div>

The wheel arches on the new ix25 are squared off and the model continues to come with subtle cladding running across its side along with some faux aluminum trim below the doors. The new ix25 gets similar diamond cut alloys like the Venue however the size could be a tad larger.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"> </span></div>

There is a strip of LED lights running across the width of the car with separate units for brake and turn signals placed below. The shape of the main taillamps do resemble the ones on the latest-gen Mahindra XUV500 that is sold in India.</span></div>

A large touchscreen infotainment system, seamlessly flowing to the centre console making the dashboard almost devoid of buttons. This also confirms that most of the functions like HVAC will be managed via the touch screen. The model also gets a flat-bottom steering wheel with subtle does of faux brushed aluminum to give a sporty feel. Higher variants are also expected to come with paddle shifters and even cooled seats along with an electronic parking brake.</span></div>

Expect the India-spec Creta to be powered by BS-VI compliant 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines that will make debut first on the refreshed Hyundai Verna.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"> </span></div>

For example, our tester — which was provided for a one-week test drive by the manufacturer — includes heated front seat, alloy wheels, a push-button ignition and an emergency braking system that just a few years ago was an exotic option.</span></div>

Review: Hyundai i20 and i30Nhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/review-hyundai-i20-and-i30n2019-03-27T08:07:09.330000Z2019-03-27T06:04:58ZCar Craziness<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman";">

</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">A tale of two Hyundais. One, made in Turkey, is a sensible small family hatchback with a sweet one-litre petrol engine and automatic gears. That’s the blue car, the i20. The other is a slightly larger family hatchback. Then it got hotted up. That’s the paler blue car, the i30N Performance. It is made in the Czech Republic. First, the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-i20/" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant: normal; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space: pre-wrap; text-decoration: underline;">Hyundai i20, the South Korean company’s answer to the Polo, Fiesta, Corsa, Clio, 208, Yaris</a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and several more popular four-metre hatchbacks. The recently refreshed five-door supermini gets you the 75ps 1.2S petrol. Standard stuff includes DAB radio, a seven inch screen, Bluetooth phone connection, rear-view camera and automatic headlamps.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<img src="https://images-e.jpimedia.uk/imagefetch/w_700,f_auto,ar_3:2,q_auto:low,c_fill/if_h_lte_200,c_mfit,h_201/https://www.scotsman.com/webimage/1.4827519.1541865551!/image/image.jpg" />
</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-variant: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">My demo car was a few rungs up. The Premium Nav had a gem of an engine, the one-litre, three-cylinder petrol with GDI – gasoline direct injection. This sprays petrol directly into each cylinder to improve power and fuel efficiency. It delivers 100ps or 98.6bhp and 127 lb ft of torque. Fitted with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, it is rated at 56.5mpg, 114g, and 0-62mph in 11.4 seconds. I loved every mile, every minute in this car. I took it hundreds of miles up and down motorways, criss-crossed valleys, did my faux commuting run. It averages 44 to 50 miles a gallon. It ran smoothly and quietly and was a doddle to steer and use in town, helped by the eager engine and the seemingly perfect automatic gearbox. The speed sign recognition blotted the clean sheet, though, by failing to register temporary overhead signs or long-standing 50mph average speed sections. The interior is roomy for four, not bad for five. It is big enough for most things, nippy and potent if you want to dive and duck in and out of traffic, get a move on, without much offence. It is, after all, only a dark blue small Hyundai hatchback. There are door pockets with irregular contours which allow packaging of things like wallets and water bottles. Much of the synthetic covering has a soft pebble finish. There is a drop-down specs holder. In Champion blue, the model tested comes with navigation, electric power steering, 16-inch alloys for a comfortable ride, climate control. The headlamps have a cornering beam and high-beam assistance.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-variant: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">I can imagine a happy life with this car, enjoying racking up the miles in the five-year warranty. In pale blue the i30N Performance looks misleading. The colour is actually Performance blue. Then you notice the red detailing front and back, the red brake callipers with the N logo, the 19-inch alloys with classy N spec 235-35 Pirellis, the N logo in the grille. N stands for the Namyang R&D centre in South Korea and Nurburgring, the long distance German race track where this Hyundai and a few other N models were tested. I wonder whether British regions with good driving roads could market an appellation. Viz, H for Highlands, Y for Yorkshire or N for Northumberland. The i30N Performance is a stonking driving car. It inherits the brand’s rally and racing pedigree. The 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivers 271 bhp (275ps) at 6,000rpm and 260 to 279 lb ft of torque from 1,500 to 4,700rpm.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-variant: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">The 0-62mph time is 6.1 seconds. Top speed is restricted at 155mph. It is rated at 163g and 39.8mpg. By coincidence, these figures are almost identical to Renault’s equally exciting Mégane R.S.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-variant: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">These cars, and their peers from Ford, Volkswagen and Seat, are the real deal. Like any very powerful front-wheel-drive car, they need help to get the power down cleanly – in the Hyundai an electronic limited slip differential. They have much better brakes, a lowered ride height, adjustable settings. The Hyundai has five modes, which adjust engine response, suspension stiffness, stability control, steering weight, the differential and the exhaust note. It will even blip the throttle to give a smoother down change through the six-speed gearbox. Open the boot and you see something extra, a bracing strut across the floor between the wheel arches. It remains at heart a usable and well-equipped family hatchback – a couple of inches wider across the interior than the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-i20/" style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #1155cc; background-color: #ffffff; font-variant: normal; -webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space: pre-wrap; text-decoration: underline;">Hyundai i20</a><span style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-variant: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">. It has smart-phone links, eight-inch navigation screen, a phone charging pad, puddle lights beaming from the gloss black door mirrors and lots more. The pace is exciting – accompanied by a series of white, orange and finally a red band in the instrument cluster which suggest gear-change points. Driven briskly and legally it averaged 30mpg. </span></div>

<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">While not abandoning its core car models, Hyundai, like many manufacturers, is expanding and updating its crossover portfolio — very aggressively, in the case of the South Korean company. Last year saw the addition of the youth-oriented Kona, while 2019 sees a new, fourth-generation Santa Fe, an electric version of the Kona, and later this year, a new flagship called the 2020 Palisade. Oh, and not to leave out its best-selling crossover in Canada — and second only to the Elantra in overall sales for 2018 — the </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/" style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025; text-decoration: underline;">third-generation Tucson</a><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;"> from</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; line-height: 2.025;"> Group 1 Hyundai</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;"> receives a mild refresh.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">I’ve generally stuck to the theory that the fewer changes made to a vehicle during its life cycle, the better its original design and execution was, to begin with. And, in its fourth year, the Tucson’s makeover is fairly mild for a compact-sized crossover competing in a very strong, very crowded segment. Cosmetically, the Tucson gets a new cascading grille and daytime running LED headlights, along with a redesigned rear fascia including the tail lights, and new alloy wheels. A new shark-fin antenna is also standard. The rework complements the Tucson’s gracefully ageing looks.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">Inside, alterations consist of a new centre stack design. On the features front, there’s standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, plus available Qi wireless charging and a second-row USB charger. Safety-wise, Hyundai adds forward collision-avoidance assist and a multi-view camera system to an already full list of things to keep the vehicle pointed in the proper direction and its occupants unharmed.</span></div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">

</span></div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">Actually, the biggest change for the 2019 model year is what won’t be found under the Tucson’s hood; Hyundai has dropped the troublesome — at least, according to Consumer Reports — 175-horsepower, 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder along with the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, reducing powertrain options to two. The engines now offered consist of the base 2.0L direct-injected four-cylinder with 164 horsepower, and a more powerful, 181-horsepower 2.4L inline-four, both coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual shifting and overdrive lock-up torque converter.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">There’s an honest simplicity to the Tucson, one that is very appealing. This should not be construed as labelling it old-fashioned or behind the curve, just straightforward, at least in the way it drives and handles. By dropping the turbo-four, the Tucson now relies on normally aspirated engines to power it, seemingly flying in the face of future convention. As well, its six-speed automatic is a couple of gears shy of what, again, is becoming normal for its segment — at least for the competitive set not fitted with CVTs.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">And it matters not a whit. Driving the Tucson’s topline Ultimate trim level powered by the larger 2.4L engine is to experience an uncomplicated, get-in-it-and-go motoring experience. My week with the tester encompassed such diverse late-January weather conditions as arctic blasts, 10 millimetres of wet "heart attack" snow, rain, freezing rain and even a day of nothing but bright sunshine and dry roads.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">The Tucson handled it all, thanks to its HTRAC all-wheel-drive system, tracking through slip and slop with unruffled purpose. Acceleration is not pulse-quickening, zero to 100 km/h taking about nine seconds, but the engine is moving just 1,645 kilograms — reasonably trim for a compact crossover — so the Tucson is well able to keep up with the flow of traffic. There are two selectable drive modes — Normal and Sport — the latter sharpening throttle response and steering effort, though the differences between the two modes are not all that extreme.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">Simplicity translates to the roomy cabin as well. The dash layout, including the revised centre stack, is clean and logically laid out, with buttons and controls labelled and easily accessed. Hyundai, in its wisdom, doesn’t demand the driver to scroll through touchscreen menus and submenus to access basic conveniences such as activating the heated seats and steering wheel, or adjusting the climate control, navigation or radio functions. Truly, the closest I can come to a complaint is that the heated steering wheel needs some work. The issue: Most of the warmth is concentrated at the eight and four o’clock hand positions, instead of the more desirable nine-and-three or 10-and-two.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">Now, the Tucson’s user-friendliness doesn’t come at the expense of technology designed to placate the connectivity needs of perpetually wired younger drivers. The crossover comes with a seven-inch (eight in the Ultimate) Display Audio system. In addition to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, BlueLink is standard on the Ultimate, bringing connectivity directly into the vehicle with technologies such as remote start with climate control, remote door lock/unlock, car finder and enhanced roadside assistance — accessed via buttons on the rear-view mirror or via a smartphone app.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">Hitting the power button for the liftgate reveals a very usable 31 cubic feet (878 litres) of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 61.9 cu.-ft. (1,753 litres) when those seats are folded flat.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">So, how does the Tucson stack up? OK, it’s true it doesn’t have the same driving verve or performance dynamics as a number of significantly more powerful turbocharged crossovers. Equally, the loaded Ultimate lacks some of the more overt luxury touches found in rival topline models, such as the 2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature or </span><a href="https://driving.ca/toyota" style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">Toyota</a><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">‘s redesigned RAV4 Limited. Then again, Tucson is also $2,000 to $3,000 less expensive.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">Here’s the thing. The Tucson is a player, the fifth best-selling crossover in Canada last year behind the RAV4, Honda CR-V, Ford Escape and Nissan Rogue. It doesn’t do fancy, it doesn’t do complicated. It does simple, and for buyers looking for solid engineering without the fancy wrapping, </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/" style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025; text-decoration: underline;">the Hyundai Tucson does simple effortlessly</a><span style="font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto; font-variant: normal; line-height: 2.025;">.</span></div>

You should check your tyre pressure, tread levels, oil levels, wiper blades, and fluid levels. If it’s time for an oil change, get one. If you need to top off fluids, do it. If you need to patch or replace a tire, don’t skimp. It’s important that if anything looks funky, you get it fixed before it’s time to drive.</span></div>

Every year, drowsy drivers cause over 1,500 fatal car accidents. That’s because as your eyelids droop, so does your ability to react quickly, make sound decisions, and keep your car in the correct lane.</span></div>

After being awake for 24 hours, it doubles to a 0.10% BAC. That’s the equivalent of a 160-pound man drinking five beers in an hour and getting behind the wheel.</span></div>

Taking medication can make you sleepy and so can boredom. If you are getting more tired by the mile, either trade off with someone who is refreshed, stop to stretch your legs, keep the window down, or talk with your passengers to keep yourself alert. The best medicine for drowsy driving is sleep, so if you can, take a rest and then get back on the road.</span></div>

If you get lost, you could find yourself in unsafe neighborhoods or stuck in a sand dune—you never know. By mapping your course before you go and keeping a GPS on-hand, you’ll be able to stay on track the whole journey.</span></div>

That way, you won’t lose sight of where you’re going at a critical, turn, exit, or merge.</span></div>

One safe driving tip is to never stay in the left lane unless passing. If someone drifts from the other side of the road, you’ll be the first in line for a collision. Staying on the right side of the road will give you time to avoid a drunk driver if need be.</span></div>

Keep everyone fueled for the entire trip by stocking up on provisions, drinks, and gas. Choose a mix of salty and sweet, and junky and healthy to keep a balanced diet.</span></div>

The popular mid-size crossover brings a fresh design inside and out, recalibrated suspension and lots of standard features including LED driving lights, a touch-screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and dusk-sensing headlights. There's plenty of safety tech too.</span></span></div>

When I hear Tucson I think “easy to drive, well-equipped mid-size SUV with a solid warranty" and that theme continues with the facelifted 2019 Hyundai Tucson.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/YM-l-kIbTok0N3PSRNWe5BoKnPjdldnjjya_JYiWOLKcVccWrKnusrV64ZXqLoNn0FVjfdBKIpEaagaUcn3A0IFvAaojyhkIP9RmCYL4eh74P3QOMpGKng2NddBBvJoJW6_EVYvU" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; transform: rotate(0rad); height: auto;" /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hyundai’s proclivity for tuning the suspension of its cars in Australia for Australian conditions continues to pay dividends, the 2019 Tucson delivering buttery smooth ride comfort that will allow grandma to snooze but also the sort of athletic ability that would make Chuck Norris raise an eyebrow.</span></p></div><div><br /></div>

Speed bumps? You barely feel them; it’s really quite impressive.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mid-level Elite and top-level Highlander model grades ride on bigger alloy wheels (18- and 19-inch respectively) yet are almost as compliant. But it has to be said, all model grades are fun to drive when you turn up the tempo.</span></p><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 9pt;"><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">On some twisty hills near the Victoria alpine country the latest Hyundai Tucson proved it can dance like Jason Derulo, generating impressive levels of grip with only mild body roll. The steering isn’t particularly engaging (despite a tweaked ratio: 2.7 to 2.5 turns lock-to-lock) but for a medium-sized SUV the car is a great all-rounder and I reckon it comes close to the top-selling Mazda CX-5 for overall ride and handling prowess.</span></div>

The Hyundai Tucson handled dirt tracks – at regular and warp speeds – with surprising composure. The all-wheel drive models performed better than expected, delivering plenty of feel on loose surfaces and changing direction in a predictable fashion on a short gravel loop.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Around town the new Tucson is very effective and although its 172mm ground clearance is not class-leading, the raised view of the road is above average and like all SUVs the raised hip height improves ingress and egress and cargo loading into the boot – no more bending over and all that.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There’s no engine idle-stop function to save fuel when stationary but the auto hold electronic park brake is a good feature, automatically engaging the electronic park brake when stopped, such as at the traffic lights. The benefit here is you don’t need to constantly push the brake pedal, reducing wear and tear on the brake lines and pads.</span></p><div dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 9pt;"><div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">But there’s a catch. Only half the range gets this as standard — the Elite and Highlander variants. The base Go and Active X require a SmartSense option pack to get it… more on that issue later.</span></div>

Go and Active X also miss out on rear-seat air-vents, which is a bit penny-pinching.</span></p></div>

Given all the telecom systems, you’ll rarely feel like a bandicoot on a burnt ridge (read: lonely).</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Height-adjustable front seat support is good and there’s ample room for two big blokes but the back seat isn’t quite as roomy as some of its larger rivals, such as the Nissan X-TRAIL and Mazda CX-5.</span></p></div>

Since the first generation came out in 2008, it has given motorists a no-frills yet stylish package for the everyday commute.</span></p></div>
<div><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;">Now, </span><a shape="rect" href="http://www.topgear.com.ph/tags/hyundai"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #0f5394;">Hyundai</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;"> has come out with a refreshed version of the Mark II iteration. This time, though, it puts a bit more style and a lot more tech into the mix. The front end, for instance, now features the signature cascading grille. The new fascia is set to become the face of the company and signals a bold step for this little hatch. It also comes with fog lamps front and rear, a revised body side molding, and stylish 14-inch alloy wheels. The overall appearance is a lot more premium.</span></p><div><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;">Moving inside, the cabin gets a host of new colors. Customers can choose between the standard shade of red, or go with hues of blue, orange, or beige. All the choices reflect the youthful vibe this car is trying to project.</span></p><div><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;">Apart from the vibrant interior packaging, the new Hyundai i10 receives a tech-savvy infotainment system. The seven-inch touchscreen boasts navigation, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless device connectivity. The aforementioned nav system comes with a seven-year free subscription to Live services, providing users with real-time traffic, weather, and other updates.</span></p><div><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;">Safety is also part of the i10’s suite of new goodies. Front collision and lane departure warning systems help avoid accidents, and keep occupants and pedestrians out of harm’s way. Plus, niceties like automatic climate control, and heated seats and steering wheel are just some of the many convenience features on offer.</span></p><div><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;">The new Hyundai i10 is powered by either a 1.0- or 1.25-liter gasoline engine, paired with a choice of a six-speed manual or four-speed auto. There is even a 1.0-liter Liquefied Petroleum Gas motor for the green-minded motorist.

Looks-wise, the changes are pretty minimal; it has a new cascading grille and redesigned lights up front, new taillights out back, and a revamped exhaust finisher on higher variants. New 18-inch wheels and refreshed 17- and 19-inch ones are also available.</span><br clear="none"/></div>
<div><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;">The interior, meanwhile, gets new designs to the center stack, panel vents, and leather seats, as well as a new rear-view mirror and instrument cluster. New tech onboard includes an electronic handbrake as standard, and rain-sensing wipers, second-row USB charger, high-beam assist, and Qi wireless charging as options. That last one works for compatible Android devices, as well as the iPhone 8 and X. </span></p><div><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;">The US-trim Tucson comes with either a 2.0-liter inline-four (164hp, 205Nm) or a 2.4-liter (181hp, 237Nm) paired to a six-speed automatic. By comparison, our market's version offers a 2.0-liter gasolone or 2.0-liter CRDi powertrain. </span></p><div><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;">Considering that our market's </span><a shape="rect" href="https://pre-owned.group1hyundai.co.za/model/tucson/"><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #1155cc;">Used Hyundai Tucson for sale</span></a><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000;"> came out three years ago, it wouldn't surprise us if a mid-cycle facelift would come in the not-so-distant future.

<div><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Crossover SUVs (CUVs) are swarming American roadways, with no signs of letting up. Especially on the more affordable end of the spectrum, the segment is expanding at a seemingly exponential rate as car buyers ditch sedans in favor of more practical CUVs.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Until its new Kona subcompact crossover arrives in the spring of 2018, Hyundai straddles the line between tiny and compact CUVs with the Tucson. Bigger than a Honda HR-V, but smaller than a Honda CR-V, the 2018 </span><a shape="rect" href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1155cc;">Hyundai Tucson</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;"> aims to be the automotive equivalent of a “just right" solution to your Goldilocks-style requirements and preferences</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/d4d96b53-5be3-4ac4-9e7f-b47279bcb6c1/dbfb5d38-be62-498b-a034-892e92c08f85/2d57fc7d-e3ab-4deb-9ac9-16df02a66ee8.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/><br clear="none"/></p><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">What Owners Say</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Before we discuss the results of our evaluation of the Hyundai Tucson, it is helpful to understand who buys this Small SUV, and what they like most and least about their Tucsons.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">More men are attracted to Tucson ownership compared to the small SUV segment as a whole (47% vs. 45%), and they are older in terms of median age (58 years vs. 54 years). Generationally, just 33% of Tucson owners are members of Generations X, Y, or Z, compared to 45% of Small SUV owners. Median annual household income, however, is about the same ($80,714 vs. $80,425). </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Tucson owners rarely deviate from all Small SUV owners when it comes to sentiments related to vehicle ownership. They are less likely to agree that they prefer to buy a vehicle from a domestic company (38% vs. 52%), but that is not surprising. Tucson owners are also less likely to agree that they prefer a vehicle that stands out from the crowd (62% vs. 67%) and are more likely to agree that a vehicle is just a way of getting from place to place (50% vs. 45%).</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">People who own the Tucson are more likely to strongly agree that they avoid vehicles with high maintenance costs (71% vs. 65%), their choice in a Small SUV perhaps reflective of Hyundai’s comprehensive warranty and roadside assistance plans. Tucson owners are also less likely to pay more for a vehicle that is environmentally friendly (48% vs. 55%).</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Owners report that their favorite things about the Tucson are (in descending order) the exterior styling, interior design and seats in a tie, driving dynamics, and visibility and safety. Owners indicate that their least favorite things about the Tucson are (in descending order) the storage and space, climate system, infotainment system, engine/transmission, and fuel economy.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">What Our Expert Says</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">In the sections that follow, our expert provides her own perceptions about how the Hyundai Tucson measures up in each of the 10 categories that comprise the 2017 APEAL Study.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Exterior</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">The Tucson’s exterior appearance is the number one thing that satisfies owners, and it’s for good reason. Hyundai’s comparatively mature and sophisticated design lacks the funky weirdness embraced by most subcompact crossovers, giving the Tucson a grown-up appearance. Handsome without overtly seeking attention, pleasing many while offending few, the Tucson is a good-looking CUV with upscale appeal.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Interior</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">With its black-on-black interior color, my test vehicle’s cabin seemed plain and minimalistic in almost every way. Silver plastic trim surrounding the vents and some of the other controls is the only relief from the monotony. Some people prefer this uncluttered look, with no seams around the dashboard top or any variances in textures, but I’m not among them. Choose a gray or beige interior if you seek greater contrast. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">While I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the interior materials in Hyundais I’ve driven as of late, the Tucson’s cabin clearly didn’t reach for higher aspirations than what its price point would suggest. The plastics looked inexpensive and felt insubstantial, and several controls suggested an unbecoming flimsiness. As such, the Tucson is competitive with subcompact CUVs when it comes to refinement of interior materials, rather than traditional compact models.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Seats</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Up front, the Tucson’s seats are flat and mildly bolstered, with decent cushioning. Heated cloth seats are always a pleasant surprise, too, and if you get Gray or Beige cloth, it features stain- and odor-resistant fabric. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">I was able to find a good driving position thanks to the 8-way power adjustable seat, but my long-limbed husband couldn’t get the right combination of height and distance from the steering wheel that he prefers. The test vehicle’s front passenger’s seat lacked a seat height adjustment, supplying too low a position. Choose SEL Plus or Limited trim to obtain an 8-way power adjustable front passenger’s seat.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">In the rear seat, there’s good room for two people, but three will have a hard time fitting. Thigh support is decent, and features like an available panoramic sunroof and rear air conditioning vents should prove appealing. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Climate Control System</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Upgrade to SEL Plus, Value Edition, or Limited trim, and a dual-zone climate control system comes standard. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">The test vehicle had this setup, the temperature controls comprised of two knobs with buttons for other functions arrayed between them. Everything was clearly marked and easy to use, and the Tucson includes a Clean Air ionizer feature. In my experience, I’ve found this fairly ineffective in controlling odors, whether they come from outside or from my children.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">During testing under mild weather conditions, the system had no trouble warming or cooling the cabin as was needed. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Infotainment System</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">My Value Edition test vehicle didn’t have all the bells and whistles that come with upper trim levels, so I could not assess the navigation system or the Infinity premium sound system that are included with SEL Plus and Limited trim.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">It did, however, have a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, providing access to navigation and communication through my iPhone and data plan. Also, the standard sound system’s quality was good enough for me. Therefore, I didn’t feel the upgrade available in top trims was necessary. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Better yet, traditional power/volume and tuning knobs flank the large main menu buttons under the screen, and everything is intuitive and easy to use while driving. Hyundai also provides SEL Plus and Limited trims with free Blue Link subscription services for three full years.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Frankly, I don’t know why so many Tucson owners appear to be unhappy with their infotainment systems. I think it’s great.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Storage and Space</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">If you choose a small vehicle, you’re going to get a small cargo area, so I’m a bit confused as to why Tucson owners give their SUVs middling marks for storage. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">While it can’t match compact crossovers like the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, or Toyota RAV4 in terms of space (get the Santa Fe Sport if you want something that size), I thought the Tucson’s cargo area was both roomy and flexible. Behind the rear seats, the Tucson provides 31 cu.-ft. of volume. Fold the rear seats to access 61.9 cu.-ft. of space.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">My test vehicle was equipped with a hands-free power opening rear liftgate that activates when you stand near the rear of the Tucson with the key on your person. It’s a convenient feature if your hands and arms are full of parcels and bags, and you don’t have to wave your feet around in an awkward dance, which can be downright dangerous on ice and snow. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Inside, Hyundai provides storage bins and cubbies throughout the cabin, and while they weren’t big, there were enough of them to keep small belongings in check.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Visibility and Safety</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Based on my time with the Tucson, the only noteworthy visibility issue related to the SUV’s thick rear roof pillars that make it harder to see out. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Good thing, then, that my Tucson had a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert and lane change assist. That latter feature is relatively new to Americans, sounding an alarm when a vehicle is approaching from behind at a comparatively rapid rate of speed, which would make a lane change unwise. Hyundai includes this feature with SEL Plus, Value Edition, and Limited trim.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">In crash testing, the Tucson earns a “Top Safety Pick" from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and a 5-star overall rating from the NHTSA. In order to help prevent a collision from occurring in the first place, an automatic emergency braking system with pedestrian detection is available for the Tucson, but you need to get the Limited trim and upgrade it with the Ultimate package.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Engine/Transmission</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">J.D. Power data shows that aside from fuel economy, the Tucson’s drivetrain is the source of the greatest dissatisfaction with ownership, and I think I know why.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">The standard engine is a relatively underpowered 164-horsepower, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is an option.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Upgrade to Value Edition or Limited trim, and you’ll get a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder supplying 175 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s satisfactory, but it comes only with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), which can cause consternation if you’re unfamiliar with a DCT’s quirks. Personally, I’m not a fan of DCTs, as they tend to lurch and behave less smoothly than traditional automatics.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Front-drive is standard with the turbocharged engine. My test vehicle had the optional all-wheel-drive system, but as with most crossovers the front wheels get the power the majority of the time. Hyundai gives you a “Lock" mode that distributes the power evenly for improved traction in the slippery stuff. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">The turbocharged Tucson does feel livelier than many competitors, but delivery of that power isn’t as linear as you’d expect. Turbo lag is evident in the lower end of the rev range and the DCT is characteristically hesitant upon launch, so you’ll have to adjust to its unique traits in order to find happiness. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Fuel Economy</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">One reason Hyundai uses a DCT with the turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder is to maximize fuel economy. Does it do the trick? </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">The EPA says that a turbocharged Tucson with AWD should get about 24 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the open road, with a combined average of 25 mpg. I got 23.3 on my test loop, which is comprised of various types of driving conditions. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Driving Dynamics</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Composed and zippy around town, the Tucson delivers a smooth ride and nimble urban handling. You will notice quite a bit of road and engine noise, especially on the highway, but vehicles in this category tend to be quite loud inside.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Though Hyundai doesn’t tout the Tucson to be an athletically inclined crossover, it more than holds its own in a set of twisties. Body motion is well controlled and the driving dynamics inspire confidence. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Tucson owners may disagree with me, but nothing about driving it makes you succumb to the siren call of a road trip. This is an automotive appliance, wrapped in a good-looking package.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><h3><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; color: #434343; font-weight: 400;">Final Impressions</span></h3><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Crossover vehicles are here to stay, and its little wonder, as they deliver all the advantages of a car combined along with the cargo space and versatility of a traditional SUV. </span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">The 2018 Hyundai Tucson does a good job of straddling various permutations of the small CUV, and thanks to appealing design, modern technologies, impressive safety ratings, and affordable pricing, it competes handily in the little crossover category. Plus, like every Hyundai, the Tucson gives owners peace of mind thanks to generous warranty and roadside assistance coverage.</span></p><span><span><br clear="none"/></span></span><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">To experience the </span><a shape="rect" href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-tucson/"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #1155cc;">Hyundai Tucson</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;"> yourself - visit a </span><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;">Group 1 Hyundai</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: #414042;"> dealership book a test drive.

Hyundai H 100 Motoring Reviewhttps://carcraziness.postach.io/post/hyundai-h-100-motoring-review2018-02-23T13:07:48.155000Z2018-02-23T13:05:45ZCar Craziness<div>

It’s tough and versatile to meet almost every challenge, but also elegant enough to be a real image-enhancing asset, no matter how big or small your business is.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:15pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#1e1e1e;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Hyundai Motor Company’s Commercial Vehicle division has reworked the nose of the H100 to give it a new look. The headlights are different with a dark charcoal trim surrounding the actual lamp, and the nose panel between the headlights tilts open to give convenient access to the engine coolant and window washer reservoirs, which now form a unit with the rest of the front bodywork.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:15pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#1e1e1e;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">A new front bumper with a wide, upward lifted black insert gives the H100 a friendly, “smiley face." The exterior rearview mirrors are much bigger and they are shaped for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. The mirrors with their panoramic rear view are also a useful and meaningful safety enhancement, especially when parking.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:15pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#1e1e1e;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The cabin of the H100 is still a comfortable, roomy environment with carefully and ergonomically laid out dial controls on the attractive centre console for the all-round air ventilation. An air conditioner can be ordered as optional equipment.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:15pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#1e1e1e;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">A redesigned steering wheel that can tilt up and down gives a fresh appearance from the driver’s viewpoint. The instrument cluster is comprehensive, easy to read and in full vision of the driver. Map pockets in the door panels and a glove box offer ample storage space.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:15pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#1e1e1e;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The trunk of the H100 is only 745mm high for more convenient loading and unloading of cargo. Up to 1.3-ton of cargo can be loaded – an exercise that can be made even easier by dropping one, two or all three of the flat cargo area’s latching side panels.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:15pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#1e1e1e;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The tailgate bolt serves to keep your cargo on the truck rather than the road. Added side security for cargo retention comes in the form of robust sidewall latches and foldaway long load retention pegs on the protection bar between the cargo area and the cabin help keep ladders, pipes, wood and all other longer loads firmly in place.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:15pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#1e1e1e;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The naturally aspirated four-cylinder diesel engine that was picked as the power source for the upgraded H100 bakkie delivers 58kW and its maximum torque is 167Nm.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:15pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#1e1e1e;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Included in the H100 bakkie’s most competitive price is the Hyundai Automotive SA’s five-year/150 000km warranty and three-year/60 000km service plan, as well as a five-year/150 000km Roadside Assistance plan.</span></p><b style="font-weight:normal;"><br /></b><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">If you just realised that </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za/hyundai-h100/" style="text-decoration:none;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">your business needs a Hyundai H100 bakkie</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> to get your jobs done more efficiently and professionally - visit a </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Group 1 Hyundai</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> </span><a href="https://www.group1hyundai.co.za" style="text-decoration:none;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">dealership</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> near you, today.</span></p><b style="font-weight:normal;"><br /></b><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Article source: </span><a href="https://www.autodealer.co.za/new-cars/Hyundai/H-100" style="text-decoration:none;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#14aaf5;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">https://www.autodealer.co.za/new-cars/Hyundai/H-100</span></a></p><br /></div>
