Hyundai’s Santa Fe crossover enters 2019 as a nearly all-new vehicle. If you’re shopping for a midsize crossover, make sure you look into this value leader. We’ve written a full review of the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe , so make sure you read up on it. A new vehicle purchase …

KANANASKIS, Alberta – Shopping for a new vehicle? I’ll bet you a shiny Loonie you’re looking at a crossover vehicle. Makes sense, right? Two kids, loads of gear, all kinds of activities—this is life. We’re not all so rich that we can afford two or three cars, so the one …

Hyundai’s timing for the Santa Fe could not have been better. Way back in 2000, they released a generous-sized sport-utility vehicle that, despite being ugly as sin, consumers could not get enough of. I recall a close colleague of mine referring to it as a member of the porcine family.

It disappeared for the 2018 model year and we thought we would never see it again. After all, sales of the Veloster had become marginal, as is the case with most of its direct competitors. So, why does Hyundai insist to bring the little coupe back? Because unlike some manufacturers, …

It seems like electric vehicles have been scratching the surface of normalcy for quite a while now. Unfortunately, up until very recently, they have been too pricey or too ugly to consider for most buyers. That seems to be finally changing for good and cars like the Hyundai Ioniq are …

The 2018 Hyundai Sonata received a mild update this year, improving on an already solid offering from the Korean manufacturer. Gone are the days when Korean cars were considered inferior to the Japanese and this vehicle should be on anyone’s test-drive list. Hyundai still hasn’t managed to pass the midsize …

How many cool cars have your heard of overseas that never seem to make it to North America? There are tons, actually—too many to go through. Those darn Europeans and Japanese often keep the best ones for themselves, but occasionally, one makes it across the pond to our shores much …

This year, Hyundai is introducing the 2018 Kona, a vehicle that will become the smallest—and most affordable—SUV in Hyundai’s Canadian lineup. Positioned under the Tucson, the Hyundai subcompact SUV has one mission: to go after the category’s top models, like the Mazda CX-3, Honda HR-V, Nissan Qashqai and Subaru Crosstrek.

The current generation of the Elantra sedan has only been on sale since the 2017 model year, but it’s already receiving a styling refresh. And a very noticeable one at that. The 2019 Hyundai Elantra sedan boasts a while new front end with sharper design characteristics. It now features triangular …

It’s not uncommon to see a car company add a new entry-level model to its lineup and substantially raise prices for other vehicles in order to make room. That could have been Hyundai’s plan following the introduction of the Kona small crossover, but even the fully redesigned 2019 Hyundai Santa …

Keep your head up! That’s the best way to enjoy one of the Kona’s most advanced features. Head-up display (HUD) is a technology initially developed for the aviation sector that progressively migrated to the car industry. First popularized by General Motors in the late 1990s, then by exotic brands such …

For years we’ve lamented the fact that hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles were being launched by automakers without any dedicated infrastructure to support their operation, at least in Canada. While Hyundai leased its first-generation Tucson FCEV to select customers in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec, we had yet to see the …

After introducing the “Sensuous Sportiness” design philosophy with the HDC-1 Le Fil Rouge sedan concept at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, Hyundai took another step in this new direction with the reveal of its latest SUV concept vehicle, the HDC-2 Grandmaster, at the 2018 Busan International Motor Show …

After the new-generation Accent made its world debut at the 2017 Toronto Auto Show, and after letting us drive the 2018 Hyundai Accent back in November, the Korean manufacturer is now ready to deploy the car into its dealerships across Canada. Why such a long wait? Some minor logistic problems …

Introduced in 2016, the current generation of Hyundai’s compact crossover, the Tucson, has proven quite popular in the eyes of consumers seeking something a tad more affordable than a Honda CR-V or a Toyota RAV4 . For 2019, Hyundai gives its little truck a minor facelift so it can maintain …

Concept cars aren’t always intriguing, but their names sometimes are. Hyundai’s Le Fil Rouge, which means “common thread” or “main theme” in English, is the company’s latest concept car that signals a design direction change. According to Luc Donckerwolke, Executive Vice President and head of Hyundai Design Center, “Le Fil …
