Movin' On Up: Hyundai Hands Over Bulletproof 2013 Equus Limo to UN Secretary-General


Oh, the glory and fame…Who would have imagined a decade or so ago that a Hyundai would be the car of choice for one of the top figures of our world.

Of course, being South Korean may have had something to do with the fact that the Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN) Ban Ki-moon will now ride in a spanking new, bulletproof 2013 Hyundai Equus Limousine.

Hyundai Introduces Facelifted 2013 Equus Luxury Sedan in South Korea


Hyundai is on a roll these days updating or completely replacing its models one after the other.

Following yesterday's news on the subtly revised 2013 Grandeur or as North American consumers know the car, the Azera, Hyundai has now presented a facelifted version of its flagship Equus saloon in its home market of South Korea.

The current Equus is based on an extended version of the Genesis Sedan's platform and went on sale in Korea in 2009 and the United States in 2010.

For the 2013 model, Hyundai has applied some modest revisions to the car's exterior, mainly by removing the chrome trim strips on the front and rear bumpers, designing a new set of alloy wheels in two different sizes, adding new mirrors and making changes to the graphics of the LED tail lamps.

Updated 2013 Hyundai Grandeur aka Azera gets New Grillz in South Korea


The latest generation of the Grandeur has only been on the market since early 2011 in South Korea, and even less in the United States where it launched as the all-new 2012 Azera in April this year, yet Hyundai has released a subtle refresh for its mid-size sedan in its home country.

For the 2013 model year, the Grandeur gets a new waterfall-like front grille along with a fresh selection of colors and alloy wheel designs on the outside.

Scoop: Hyundai's All-New 2014 Genesis Sedan Nearing Production


If someone were to tell you 10 years ago that Hyundai and its sister company Kia would try to battle Germany's finest car brands with a rear-wheel drive luxury sedan, you would probably laugh at their face.

Today, the German's are not in the least amused by the Koreans efforts, which started with the Hyundai Genesis premium sedan that was launched in production trim in 2008.

Surprisingly for an Asian model, the Genesis sedan has aged well cosmetically, though, in all fairness, Hyundai's designers did take some styling notes from their counterparts in Munich…

Nevertheless, Hyundai wants to keep its mid-size model relevant against the competition, so it's currently completing the development of the second generation Genesis Sedan, which according to Hyundai Motor Company CEO Kim Choon-ho, will launch towards the end of 2013.

Hyundai Opens Veloster's Roof Like a Tin Can to Create C3 Roll Top Concept [w/Videos]


Gone are the times that carmakers used the terms' convertible' and 'cabriolet' to describe genuine open top models. Nowadays, you have Fiat calling the 500C a convertible and Citroen the DS3 Cabrio, well, a cabriolet, even though both models feature a roll over, cloth sunroof that happens to include the rear window.

We didn’t mention those two models by chance, as Hyundai has also attempted something similar with its new Veloster C3 Roll Top Concept that made its world premiere today at the LA Auto Show.

Fuel Me Twice: Hyundai Has Been Caught Misstating Figures in the Past as Well


After an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) investigation found discrepancies between the official and the actual mileage stated by Hyundai and Kia for some of their most popular models, the Korean manufacturers were quick to take the blame and offered to compensate 900,000 owners of said vehicles.

Both companies’ executives offered public apologies and attributed the wrong statement in a procedural error during testing.To sum it up: it was an error, the company apologizes and pays up, case closed.

Or is it?

Surprise, surprise, this is not the first time that Hyundai has been caught making false claims about its vehicles...

Market Researcher Says Bogus Hyundai and Kia MPG Claims will Harm Brands' Value, Shares Tumble


We already know that it's going to cost Hyundai and Kia a lot of money to compensate some 900,000 vehicle owners in the States (as much as $362 million, according to Nam Kyeong Moon, an analyst at KTB Investment & Securities Co.) after the Environmental Protection Agency discovered that the two carmakers posted inflated gas-mileage ratings.

However, the penalty in brand value may be even higher for the Korean car brands, according to market researcher Interbrand Corp.

Hyundai and Kia to Compensate 900,000 Vehicle Owners Over False Fuel Economy Numbers


Fuel-economy is a hot issue these days. Not only because of environmental issues but also on a more practical level, due to gas being a big, and these days increasing, part of a vehicle’s running costs.

Mileage is thus a big consideration for a large number of new car buyers. Therefore, when you advertise that you are an industry leader in the field with four of your models rated at 40 mpg on the highway, you had better be sure you are right or it will cost you dearly.

The Environmental Protection Agency found discrepancies between its own test results and the mileage posted on the cars’ window stickers at Hyundai and Kia dealerships.

New Hyundai Veloster RE:MIX Edition to Enter Limited Production, Priced from $19,900*


The Specialty Equipment Market Association show, most commonly (and conveniently) known as SEMA, that’s taking place these days in Las Vegas is the perfect venue for manufacturers to showcase pumped-up versions of their normal production cars.

Some of them eventually enter production while others remain just something for the tuning scene crowd to salivate over. Hyundai’s Veloster RE:MIX belongs to the former category, as it is much more down-to-Earth compared to some of the other versions launched at the show.

New Hyundai Veloster Alpine Concept Heading to the SEMA Show


The second Veloster concept car getting ready to make its way to Hyundai's SEMA Show booth at the end of October is named "Alpine", and like the Genesis Coupe R-Track Study, it too was born from the collaborative efforts of the Korean automaker's US division and ARK Performance.

The Veloster Alpine is not as racy as Hyundai's own 400Hp Veloster "Velocity" project, with ARK Performance stating that the car was designed to appeal to mountain sports enthusiasts - though, we won't blame you if you don't see this from the teaser image...
