2018 Hyundai Kona Ultimate AWD Review

You have to love an SUV with a list price of $35,650 that carries the notation “Included” 37 times on its window sticker. Unlike many other manufacturers, such inclusionary generosity is par for the course at Hyundai.

Read More »2017 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Review
Hyundai originally introduced the 3-door Veloster sports coupe with a rather anemic 132hp four cylinder engine that peaked at just 120 lb.-ft. of torque. Even with that handicap, the original version was a lot of fun to drive because of the car’s sporty design and ingenious packaging.

Are you six times better than you were in 1990? The Hyundai Elantra is. Over the intervening 27 years, Hyundai has introduced six new generations of this model, with the most recent coming just last year.

2013 marks the birth of the third generation Santa Fe. Hyundai has divided the model line into 2 versions, Santa Fe Sport and Santa Fe. The Sport seats 5, while the larger Santa Fe seats 7. Although the Sport may be smaller, it manages to cram a stunning assortment of delicious ingredients into its 106 inch wheelbase while keeping costs affordable.

Don’t confuse Veloster with Velocity. The newest Hyundai has plenty of attributes, but speed isn’t one of them. The shortfall in the urge department can be traced to the engine’s modest horsepower, compounded by poor gear ratio selection. The direct injection, 1.6 liter straight 4 makes 138hp, and more importantly, just 128 lb.-ft. of torque at a screaming 4,850rpm. So you need to wring the Veloster’s neck to get it motivated.

Easy on the eye, easy on the wallet, the coupe version of the Elantra dishes out a pretty good trip down easy street. Hyundai hasn’t done an Elantra coupe before, so if you wanted a personalized two-door from this Korean maker, their Genesis coupe was the only model available.
