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.

A compact car with a hatchback might just be the best compromise between efficiency and versatility for consumers on a budget. And in some cases, we can also throw in performance when manufacturers try to knock the Volkswagen Golf GTI off its pedestal, with mixed results. Take the 2018 Hyundai …

The Nexo dashes at 140 km/h on the highway that links Seoul to PyeongChang. Inside, everything is calm, with slight wind noise breaking the silence from time to time. The Nexo’s handling is similar to an electric vehicle in every way, despite the fact that it produces its own electricity …

It’s an immensely popular segment in North America—especially in the U.S.—but sales have been slowing down significantly in the past couple of years. Midsize sedans are being traded in for sport-utility vehicles which are considered more practical. But not necessarily so. After all, a midsize sedan offers plenty of room …

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 …

The Korean automaker has just revealed technical information regarding the fully electric version of its Kona urban SUV, which will probably hit the Canadian market within the coming year. The Kona Electric's powertrain will produce 201 horsepower along with 291 pound-feet of torque, allowing the Kona to hit 100 km/h …

After reskinning the current-generation Sonata a few months ago, Hyundai has now presented the HEV and PHEV versions of their 2018 midsize sedan at the latest Chicago Auto Show.
