Updated Hyundai i20 WRC Looking Good for the Geneva Motor Show

Posted by Alex Bale Wednesday, March 6, 2013

While Kia has chosen to build and sell actual sporty versions (the Cee'd and Pro_Cee'd GT) of their regular road-going cars, in order to boost the sporting credentials of their brand, sister-brand Hyundai has chosen a slightly different approach in order to achieve the same basic goal – participation in the World Rally Championship.

Their i20 WRC is being worked on and incrementally-improved in preparation for the car's official debut onto the world rally stage, which is set to take place next year.

First revealed at the Paris Motor Show, last year, the i20 WRC has since received several upgrades, and while it's not really finished, it really looks the part with the latest body upgrades and a revised livery, which combines Hyundai's trademark light-blue color with traditional Korean script.

Aside from the cosmetic and aerodynamic alterations, the car has also had its suspension setup retuned, under the supervision Michel Nandan – a WRC veteran. He now heads the newly-created Hyundai Motorsport GmbH, which operates out of Alenzau, Germany and has developed the car along with Hyundai's own research and development team, based in Namyan, Korea.

No technical specifications have been released, but it will most likely be powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine, with just under 300 hp, powering all four wheels. Private test sessions will be arranged at various locations around Europe later in the year and more details will be provided along the way.

Hyundai Delivers Its First Special Edition Veloster RE:MIX

Posted by Alex Bale Monday, February 25, 2013

Last October, Hyundai rolled out the production version of its Veloster RE:MIX at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Embracing the RE:MIX ethos of “individual creativity, passion and connectivity,” the limited-edition Veloster was rumored to be hitting dealers before the end of 2012.

It actually took until mid-February for Hyundai to get inventory into dealer hands, which is why the first Veloster RE:MIX has just now been delivered to Brittany Carmona, a customer of Sterling McCall Hyundai in Houston, Texas.

RE:MIX Velosters will be available in Sprint Gray, Century White, 26.2 Yellow, Marathon Blue, Ultra Black and Boston Red. Outside, each wears a custom body kit, 18-inch gunmetal-painted alloy wheels, LED headlight accents, LED taillights, custom graphics and RE:MIX badging.

Inside, the custom Veloster gets a 450-watt Dimension audio system, a leather steering wheel and shift knob, interior accent lighting, keyless entry with push button start and RE:MIX floormats. A manual transmission is standard, while a dual-clutch automated manual is an available option.

What the car doesn’t get, however, is any bump in output from its 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 136 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. There’s no change to the Veloster’s suspension or brakes, either.

On the other hand, that’s probably OK with Veloster RE:MIX shoppers. In the words of a Sterling McCall spokesman, “The Veloster RE:MIX represents the ultimate Hyundai lifestyle coupe... customers today are looking for individual design expression, exclusivity and smartphone connectivity.”

While all Veloster models deliver connectivity and a degree of design expression, only the Veloster RE:MIX can deliver exclusivity. Pricing starts at $20,475 for the the manual transmission version (including a destination charge of $795), so if you want to park one in your own driveway, now is the time to visit your local Hyundai dealer.

2012 Hyundai Sonata owners manual

Posted by Alex Bale Sunday, February 24, 2013

2012 Hyundai Sonata luxury cars in 2012 is making me want to buy a car soon. Are you one of these?

In my opinion that after you read a review about the Hyundai Sonata 2012. You will be so impressed to see the specs and model of interior Hyundai Sonata.

Theta II turbo does not make the most sonorous of noises at tickover, but inside, noise is well controlled in both volume and tone, no matter the speed. All 274 horses gallop in at a rather Lofty 6.000 RPM, but the 269 lb-ft of torque pushes in at just 1.800 RPM and hangs out until 4.500 is showing on the tach, at roomates point the power begins to taper off. Burying the pedal while getting up to speed on the big 2.8-mile bowl, we not only observed strong acceleration that would seem to Jibe with Hyundai's 0-60 mph estimate of 6.5 seconds, we also Noted impressive high-speed stability at speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour.

You can get the owner's manual Hyundai Sonata here. 2012 Hyundai Sonata owners manual that must be very useful.

Hyundai, Kia delaying and updating new Sonata, Optima Hybrids?

Posted by Alex Bale Wednesday, February 20, 2013

Given the recent debacle regarding overstated fuel-economy estimates from Hyundai and Kia, we wouldn't blame the companies for being a little gun-shy about new vehicle releases. That just might be the case for the 2013 Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima Hybrids.

With the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) not including those two models under its 2013 model-year list (it only lists the 2012 versions and 2013's gas-only versions), Hybrid Cars is wondering if the two companies aren't pushing back their debuts for some late tweaks. At the moment, only the 2012 Optima Hybrid shows up on Kia's website, and the same goes for the Sonata Hybrid. A Hyundai representative told Hybrid Cars that the 2013 Sonata Hybrid is being redesigned in Korea, with announcements possibly coming in the next month or two.

It would seem to make sense that Hyundai and Kia are takign some extra time readying their 2013 model-year hybrids. In late 2012, Hyundai and Kia had to drop fuel-economy estimates on many of its 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles after reporting inaccurate mileage estimates. The companies agreed to give money back to about 900,000 vehicle owners, with the amounts varying based on the MPG adjustment to their models and the owners' odometer readings. In all, the companies set aside about $412 million for refunds. Both the 2012 Sonata and Optima Hybrids are now rated at 36 miles per gallon combined.

2013 Hyundai i30 3-door

Posted by Alex Bale Tuesday, February 19, 2013

The i30 3-door is the third member of the i30 family, joining the Hyundai i30 Tourer and i30 5-door hatchback which made their public premiere earlier this year.

2013 Hyundai i30 3-door

Set to debut at the up-coming Paris Auto Show, the all-new i30 3-door’s styling is influenced by the carmaker’s latest “fluidic sculpture” design language. The new model features a slightly redesigned hexagonal grille, flanked by redesigned front foglights and daytime running lights.

Back at rear, the 2013 Hyundai i30 3-door sports a slightly redesigned bumper and restyled set of fog-lights.

Under the hood, the forthcoming i30 coupe will offer the same range of four-cylinder engines as the Hyundai i30 5-door, along with six-speed manual and automatic transmission options.

A more potent sporty variant is also headed for the Hyundai showrooms, according to latest rumors which suggest that the South Korean carmaker is preparing to launch a 200+ horsepower i30 turbo sometime next year. The car will kick-start the arrival of a host of future performance Hyundai models.

Full details of the 2013 Hyundai i30 3-door coupe will be released at the 2012 Paris Auto Show, where the model will make its inaugural public premiere before going on sale in Europe in the first half of 2013.

News: Car sales off to sluggish start in January

Posted by Alex Bale Tuesday, February 5, 2013

It hasn't been a good start to the year for car sales in 2013, as figures released by the Society Of The Irish Motor Industry show. Volkswagen sit atop the sales pile, following on from its best-selling performance last year, while Ford occupies second place in the charts with Toyota in third.

Significantly though, all three of the big three have lost sales compared to last January, as much as 45% in Toyota's case. So who's doing well? In the top ten selling brands, Hyundai, Kia, Audi and BMW all posted percentage gains, while further down the chart, Peugeot, Honda and Mitsubishi are all performing better than they did this time last year.

The star players though are Seat and Porsche. Seat has more than doubled its sales compared to last January while Porsche has gone from selling two cars in the first 31 days of 2012 to this year selling a whopping... eight.

The overall market is down by 18.5% and industry watchers are trying to determine if this is a sign of a terrible year to come or an early indication that the new registration system is spreading sales out a bit.
