Hyundai's quirky hatch returns for a second act. The Hyundai Veloster is a bit of a love-it-or-hate it proposition, and has been since its introduction seven years ago. Being a compact hatch limits its audience to a rather niche group of buyers straight out of the gate. Factor in the unconventional looks (and even more unconventional 1+2+1 door layout) and its okay-for-a-first-try chassis and powertrain setup, and the subset of consumers who would even consider it shrinks even further. We drove the first-generation Veloster several times, with the Turbo model appropriately getting the the lion's share of positive attention directed at Hyundai's little hatchback. We weren't alone in being encouraged by Hyundai's first effort, but it was far from perfect. Subsequent updates made it better, but it was still far from perfect. To make matters worse, every fix seemed to allow a different flaw to surface.Still, we wouldn't help but think that, despite those flaws, a decent car was hiding … [Read more...] about First drive: 2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

2016 Hyundai Tucson Highlander (AWD) review
I purchased a new Tucson in November 2016 as a novated leasing package through work. This worked out well for me due to my line of work and repayments. The Hyundai replaced my 2011 Ford Fiesta Zetec, which had a myriad of issues. From the get-go, it was issue after issue. The interior door handle came off. The Bluetooth would drop out constantly. The automatic transmission would shudder on take-off. My car was one of the earliest cases of this shuddering issue. Sometimes it would happen mid-drive. I returned it to the dealership who explained to me that it was the way I drove it, but I knew it wasn’t the case. Eventually Ford repaired the car and tried to explain to me that the transmission was like that due to being a manual transmission, but “turned into an auto”. Yep, that’s how car dealers speak to women unfortunately. This is the reason I didn’t go near a Kuga as a replacement. My Hyundai, on the other hand, is a turbo diesel. I really couldn’t … [Read more...] about 2016 Hyundai Tucson Highlander (AWD) review

Hyundai’s Future Cars Line-Up Until 2018
Hyundai has been building out its vehicle line-up with new nameplates from eye-catching redesigns of existing products since 2010 to new premium & refined designs. Now that it fields an entry in most major vehicle segments, with the exception of a pickup, but currently Hyundai is turning its attention to upscale, like with the All-New Genesis or Sonata, its models rather than adding nameplates. The second-generation Genesis launched on Nov. 2013, Hyundai’s flagship luxury sedan comes with South Korean’s brand most advanced technologies, reborn through relentless performance tests and thorough quality management. Hyundai increased its production few months ago due to its success into the South Korean local market and the great reception into the US-market as well.
