The livestream will start at 8:30 PM Eastern (0:30 AM GMT, September 15). The livestream has ended and the new 2022 Hyundai Tucson is revealed; see it in detail right here . Compact crossover – two words you’ve likely heard a million times in recent years. It’s far from being the most exciting segment of the market, but it’s where many sedans and hatchback buyers have migrated to. Hyundai’s Tucson has been taking part in this hugely competitive segment since 2004 when the first-gen model (JM) was launched with a safe design – a recipe used by the subsequent second and third generations. That’s all about to change with the fourth-gen Tucson (NX4) as Hyundai’s design team went with a clean slate when drawing the popular crossover. Plenty of teasers and spy shots have revealed both the exterior and interior appearance will have practically nothing in common with the outgoing model that has been around for approximately five years.

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Small Truck Spied Testing On Frozen Lake
The Tucson-based compact pickup appears to have a tiny bed. Unlike the cab-over Porter (H-100) truck only sold in some markets, the Santa Cruz will be a global pickup from Hyundai. It’s not going to have anything in common with the no-frills Porter as it will be a fancier lifestyle utility vehicle based on the latest-generation Tucson . You can already tell it’s related to the compact crossover by looking at the polarizing design details peeking through the camouflage. Our spies have caught a near-production prototype of the Santa Cruz undergoing final testing on a frozen lake in Finland. Hyundai is stubbornly keeping the full camo attire even though we’re likely only months away from the world premiere. Despite the disguise, you can easily tell the bed is quite small, thus making the little truck a competitor to the recently updated Honda Ridgeline and the forthcoming Ford Maverick .

Rossi won’t have less pressure as satellite MotoGP rider
For the first time in his career, Rossi will not race a Yamaha in its factory colours after agreeing a one-year deal with Petronas for 2021 – though remains on a works contract. Rossi hasn’t won a grand prix since the 2017 Dutch TT and only scored one podium in 2021 – marking the first time this has happened since his first year with Ducati in 2011. Speaking after Petronas' 2021 launch event, Stigefelt feels Rossi approaches his new team with the same mindset of trying to be a regular podium finisher. “I think he will not have less pressure, he really wants to perform,” Stigefelt said. “And he’s coming to the team on the mindset to try to be on the podium and try to win a race again and to win races. “We know it’s very hard, but I think it’s for everybody sometimes good to change their environment. And coming into a new team but with some of his staff coming with him, the combination of our mechanics, young mechanics and his staff, his crew chief David [Munoz] is very … [Read more...] about Rossi won’t have less pressure as satellite MotoGP rider
SRT “seemed more upset” than Yamaha at 2020 title loss
Fabio Quartararo was Yamaha’s leading rider for much of the 2020 season, with his three victories keeping him in the lead of the championship until the Aragon Grand Prix when a front tyre pressure issue dropped him to a career-worst 18th. From that point, Quartararo’s title hopes quickly evaporated and he ended the campaign eighth in the standings. Yamaha’s hopes of the constructors’ championship were also severely affected by a loss of 50 points handed to it as punishment for running illegal engines at the season-opening Spanish GP – the Japanese marque losing out to Ducati by 17 points in the finale in Portugal. Asked about rumours of disharmony between Petronas and Yamaha last year, Razali confirmed his team felt as if it was just a “paying customer” rather than a works-supported partner. But tensions have since been diffused as Yamaha “recognised” Petronas’ concerns and a the first draft of a new proposal covering 2022-2026 has been tabled. “We have addressed … [Read more...] about SRT “seemed more upset” than Yamaha at 2020 title loss
2021 Hyundai Bayon Revealed With Quirky Styling And Spacious Interior
The i20 supermini gets a crossover makeover with eccentric styling. While we're patiently waiting for Hyundai to dip its toes into the pickup truck and performance segments with the Santa Cruz and that mid-engined sports car , the Asian brand is rolling out yet another crossover. Contrary to reports, the new Bayon is not actually significantly smaller than the Kona as the two have similar footprints. At 4.18 meters (164.5 inches) long, 1.77 meters (69.7 inches) wide, and 1.49 meters (58.6 inches) tall, the subcompact crossover is only a bit shorter than the facelifted Kona (4.21 meters / 165.9 inches) while being a little bit narrower and with a lower roofline. The wheelbase measures 2.58 meters (101.5 inches), a tad shorter than the Kona's, while the cargo capacity stands at 411 liters (14.5 cubic feet) or 1,205 liters (42.5 cubic feet) once you fold the rear seats. The load volume trumps the Kona with or without the bench down. Length Width Height … [Read more...] about 2021 Hyundai Bayon Revealed With Quirky Styling And Spacious Interior
