Nissan released pricing for its new small crossover, the 2011 Nissan Juke, and it will start under $19,000.
It’s no secret to those who have been paying attention that Hyundai is on something of a roll, as exemplified by the flagship Genesis sedan and coupe, but also continuing down to some of the more mundane sedans and SUVs in the line. So, we suppose we shouldn’t have been surprised that a short while after Hyundai handed us the keys to a base Sonata we were thinking “this is pretty nice”. The surprise continued through our week with the car, with the growing recognition that this is an all-around win, not just a good effort that falls short but is well priced to compensate the buyer for his trouble.
Don’t say “Spor-taah-je” like “fromage.” It’s pronounced straight American, “Sport-age.” The folks from Kia say it that way probably because the third-generation compact crossover is about as American as you can get.
Looking to recreate the formula that worked so well for Lexus, Hyundai has officially begun its assault on the executive-limo segment. Its entry is the Equus, a full-size sedan that shares more than a few styling details with the smaller Genesis sedan.
Our spy photographer is giving us another look at the Hyundai Veloster today, as well as some added details about the car.
Our vigilant spy photographer has again caught the Hyundai Sonata wagon (perhaps to be called the Sonata Touring) out in the wild.
We were excited when Hyundai dropped the Genesis Coupe on the public. The brand has been shaking things up in the automotive world, and the thought of a Korean, rear-drive sports coupe sounded particularly sweet. After driving the Coupe, we quickly came to really appreciate it, and when Hyundai finally released the Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec, we couldn’t wait to get behind the wheel, and we were sure there were oodles of tuners and budget racers that shared the sentiment.
The Sonata has huge potential in a highly competitive marketplace. The arrival of turbocharged and hybrid models is only going to help that. But those will remain relatively niche vehicles. The bread-and-butter model is going to be the naturally-aspirated, gas-only Sonata, and with a bit of improvement, Hyundai has another game changer on its hands.
Over the long weekend, our spy photographer was hard at work getting these photos of the Hyundai Sonata Touring.
We have just taken delivery of the recently redesigned Hyundai Tucson. Our Limited model comes loaded with navigation, a panoramic sunroof, heated leather seats (in a very handsome saddle and black color scheme), Bluetooth, and an upgraded stereo. As with all Tucsons, our tester features a 2.4-liter I-4, that produces 176 horsepower. Our Tucson is driven by the front wheels, but all-wheel drive is available. We will have this hot-seller for the next week, so lets hear your questions.
The unveiling of the Genesis sedan and Coupe, the new Tucson, new Sonata, new Accent, and now finally the Elantra; Hyundai has been on quite a roll lately with new product, and is anxious to continue that trend. The Korean manufacturer took the wraps off the South Korean-market Avante, which is destined to become the U.S.-market Elantra, at the 2010 Busan International Auto Show.
Don’t be fooled by the name, this Hyundai Verna is the new Hyundai Accent that we have been seeing spy shots of for some time.

Recently, Hyundai gave up some of the details and a teaser image of the 2011 Sonata Hybrid. Today, at the New York Auto Show, the automaker revealed all the goods on its new fuel-efficient superstar.
Today in New York, Hyundai revealed the Sonata 2.0T, powered by a 274-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. If that doesn’t pique your interest, Hyundai also announced that it will get 34 miles per gallon on the highway.

Our spy photographer just sent over another picture of the Hyundai Veloster that may prove, as he suspected, that it will have a rear-hinged door for easier access to the rear seat.
Here are some early spy shots of the upcoming Hyundai Accent. As of right now, we don’t have much information about what will be different, but these photos show us that its looks have been updated to fit in with the rest of the new Hyundai lineup.
