Now, the Genny has had its first mid-cycle refresh. Well, Hyundai calls it a mid-cycle refresh. To us it smacks of being a very-nearly-second-generation Genesis, as it boasts significantly revised engines, sheetmetal, interior trimmings, and a host of other changes and improvements.
While part of our team is off driving the new Azera (keep an eye out for our review, coming later this month), Hyundai has announced pricing for this second-generation sedan.
This smooth and appropriately throaty V-8 feels just right in this big sedan. Throttle tip-in is quick without feeling too sharp, and the initial delivery of torque is linear and predictable.
Continuing the expansion of the North American Car Of The Year winning Elantra range, Hyundai has unveiled the two-door Elantra Coupe alongside the five-door GT. The Elantra Coupe will give Hyundai its first true competitor to the small two-door offerings from Honda and Kia.
Hyundai took the wraps off of the 2013 Elantra GT today. The GT is the five-door version of the North American Car Of The Year winning Elantra sedan, and is actually based on the Euro-spec Hyundai i30.
Hyundai is expected to reveal the 2013 Santa Fe crossover at the upcoming New York Auto Show this April, but until then, take a look at these leaked photos spotted on Hyundai-Blog of what is claimed to be the refreshed Santa Fe.
If you’re a driving enthusiast, and are considering the purchase of a new car in 2012, the prospect of you being able to find something you truly love is better than ever before. Horsepower and torque are being delivered to the winding roads of our nation in record outputs. Fuel economy is getting better at a faster rate than ever before, while overall luxury, safety, and build quality leaves even the last generation of automobiles in the dust.
Here’s the full list of Winding Road’s coverage of Detroit 2012. Check back on this post over the next few days, as there are always a few stragglers that make their way into the fold at the last minute.
Joining the Hyundai Veloster Turbo onstage was the refreshed 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Our favorite Korean rear-driver got a host of upgrades, especially in the power department. We were on hand as it rolled onto stage.
We were on hand for the debut of Hyundai’s newest hot hatch, the 201-horsepower Veloster Turbo. It looked striking in its matte gray paint (which is actually going to make production), and we got plenty of snaps of the new car.
Hyundai has upped the ante on its 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. With a prominent new fascia, the rear-drive Genny has gotten a host of upgrades to keep it competitive for the next several years.
Hyundai took the wraps off the hotly anticipated Veloster Turbo at today’s North American International Auto Show. The Veloster Turbo is destined to go toe-to-toe with the Volkswagen GTI, Honda Civic Si, and Mini Cooper S.
The winners of the 2012 North American Car And Truck Of The Year Awards have been announced, with the Hyundai Elantra taking home car honors, and the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque winning out amongst the truck competition.
So what, if anything, should/will make this new Malibu stand out to you? How can a reasonably resurgent Chevy hope to compete with the numbers game so stacked against its gas/electric warrior? Chevy’s answer, one that should interest the typical Winding Road reader, we’d guess, is that the Malibu is a better, more engaging, less hybrid-like car to drive.
With the North American International Auto Show comes the announcement for the winners of the prestigious North American Car of the Year and North American Truck of the Year. This year’s group has been narrowed down to three cars and three trucks.
The 2012 North American International Auto Show will be hitting Detroit in about a month, which means it’s time to preview some of the upcoming production and concept cars that will be unveiled at the Detroit show.
I’m always impressed by the smoothness in the Chevy Volt’s ride. It feels like it glides across the surface of the road, but in a way that doesn’t feel floaty or unstable. The smoothness of the power delivery compounds this sensation, and anyone I’ve had in the car with me has made mention of it. For reference, another car that offers a remarkable gliding sensation would be the Hyundai Sonata Turbo.
After a hectic 48 hours, the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show is in the books. A number of new and important production models hit the stage for this year’s show, and we got the details on each one. If you missed any of our coverage, this is the place to be.
Testing Notes: This Lexicon system spreads the sound out nicely in front of the driver and is enhanced by the quiet cabin of the Genesis sedan.
