Hyundai Concept Genesis Coupe 2008

Hyundai officially unveiled the highly-anticipated Concept Genesis Coupe at the Loss Angeles Auto Show today. It previews an all-new 2+2 RWD coupe arriving in dealerships in spring of 2009. Notice we did not mention "Tiburon". Hyundai confirmed in their press conference that there will be a separate successor to the Tiburon, and it will be FWD. The production Genesis Coupe will be available in either a 2.0L turbo-4 or a 3.8L V6 that produces well over 300 horsepower. The powerplant is sourced from the upcoming Genesis, which will be available with a 4.6L V8 alongside the V6.

The Concept Genesis Coupe was fitted with 20" wheels, but we expect the production version to be equipped with 19"s by the looks of the very revealing spy shots we posted recently. During the press conference, Hyundai also confirmed the availability of Brembo brakes and Limited Slip Differential on the production version. The production version will also be available with attractive features such a navigation system and push-start button. Due to go on sale in early 2009, the Genesis Coupe is expected to be priced a tad under $20,000 for the turbo-4 and $25,000 for the V6 model. The production-version will make its official debut at the 2008 New York International Auto Show in late March.

Hyundai new luxury car 2008

Hopefully, these new models from the Korean auto makers will still remain affordable. Anyway, Automotive News reports that Hyundai has confirmed that it is planning a luxury car for the United States set to debut in 2008, which will sit right above the Hyundai Azera. Code-named BH, the rear-wheel drive car will be built in South Korea and will have a V8 engine.

The Huyndai Concept Genesis which is headed for the New York Auto Show (which we will be covering live, so make sure you join us April 4th - April 5th), could be the basis for the 2008 luxury model.

Hyundai Veracruz NAMED "BEST VALUE SUV"

AT THE 14TH ANNUAL SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE COMPETITION HYUNDAI VERACRUZ NAMED "BEST VALUE SUV"


ANGELES, Calif., 11/13/2007 The Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) named Hyundai Veracruz the “Best Value SUV” of the 2007 14th annual Northwest Sport Utility Vehicle of the Year Competition at the Los Angeles International Auto Show today. The two-day test was held at Portland International Raceway. Twenty-six members of the NWAPA put 28 vehicles through the series of tests October 3-5 in Portland, Oregon. The tests included three main elements: pavement testing, which included a slalom, curve handling, and emergency braking maneuvers; off-road testing, which included hill-climbing and descent abilities, in addition to ride comfort and low-range handling; and testing of the performance, handling and braking of each competing SUV. The overall value for money, packaging and versatility were evaluated through a comprehensive scoring procedure.

The list of SUVs was diverse and ranged in price from under $25,000 to well over $45,000. The Hyundai Veracruz SE with a 3.8-liter V6 engine, equipped with Hyundai’s first 6-speed Shiftronic automatic transmission performed exceeding well, both on-road and off-road. With an “as-tested” MSRP of only $31,120, the Hyundai Veracruz impressed the panel of journalists with its refined and powerful performance and a long-list of standard features including six air bags, which include two-roof mounted side curtain air bags for all rows of seating, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), active head restraints and 18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels. This combination of performance and value put the Hyundai Veracruz at the top of the list as the Best SUV Overall Value for 2007, beating competitors including the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-7, Nissan Xterra and the Toyota FJ Cruiser.
