Hyundai Ioniq 5 N comes with pseudo-manual mode, much slower
Drag racing video shows the Ioniq 5 N outpacing the Tesla Model 3 Performance when using both motors normally, but falling behind when the simulated manual shifting feature is enabled go through Chris Chilton August 6, 2024 19:50 Carwow's latest drag racing video shows the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N going up against the Tesla Model 3 Performance. The Tesla starts faster, but when the dual-motor N is used like a traditional fast EV, it's quickly overtaken by the Hyundai. What's really interesting is how slow the Ioniq 5 N is when the simulated manual shift function is selected. Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N is a near-perfect response to the accusation that electric cars are one-trick ponies that can never be as fun as traditional combustion-engined cars. Ironically, one of the features that makes it so fun is its simulated eight-speed transmission that mimics the feeling of driving an internal combustion engine car. In this case, more fun means less speed, because…

Hyundai i30 Sedan N Line review: A great combination of value and performance
Ten years ago in Australia, you could walk into a Hyundai dealership and buy a brand new Elantra for AUD$20,000 (approximately USD$13,300.) While those days are long gone, the facelifted 2024 i30 sedan is still great value for money and is particularly striking in N Line guise. The current generation i30 sedan has been on sale in Australia since early 2021. It's essentially the same Elantra sold in other markets, but has been renamed, probably because Australians are more familiar with the i30 name than the Elantra. We were impressed when we drove it in 2021, and after recently spending a week behind the wheel of a 2024 model, we'd recommend it to anyone looking for an 'economy' sedan. Quick Facts An i30 for everyone The updated i30 Sedan range starts at AU$29,000 (about $19,300) for the base model with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, and the new 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid model starts at AU$33,000 (about $22,000).

Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG twin-cylinder model
Hyundai has introduced a new twin-cylinder CNG unit in the Grand i10 Nios hatchback. It is the same technology that we recently saw on the Exter compact SUV. Dubbed the Grand i10 Nios Hy-CNG Duo, the new model is priced at Rs 7.75 lakh for the Magna variant and Rs 8.30 lakh for the Sportz variant. Prices are ex-showroom in India.

The facelifted Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be upgraded to
Hyundai's facelifted Ioniq 6 EV appears to be switching to a split headlight setup for its MY26 mid-term facelift. New spy shots show a new hood and fenders for the upgraded vehicle, pushing the daytime running lights and headlights into the lower bumper. We also expect the Ioniq 6 to feature a larger battery, like its sibling the Ioniq 5 did when it was facelifted earlier this year. Automotive engineers and designers are like actors. By the time we see their work, they've already moved on to the next project, or the one after that. That's why Hyundai's R&D team has already started testing a facelifted version of the Ioniq 6, which was launched in the U.S. just over a year ago. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); Our spy team spotted the revised electric sedan in Europe, and even though it's covered in Hyundai's…
Hyundai recalls 2024 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid SUVs
Nearly 50,000 SUVs may have airbags that fail to deploy when needed or deploy for no apparent reason. August 1, 2024 — Hyundai is recalling nearly 50,000 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid SUVs because the vehicles' air bags may not deploy in a crash or the air bags may deploy suddenly for no apparent reason. The recalled 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) may have an issue with the main floor wiring harness. These floor harnesses can rub against the passenger side second row bench seat assembly and become damaged. This may result in the airbag being inoperative during a collision, as well as the airbag being deployed unexpectedly without a collision. In April, the rear side airbags of the 2024 Santa Fe in South Korea deployed, which caused Hyundai's concern. The automaker has launched investigations in South Korea and North America so that engineers can find out the problem. Hyundai determined that the…

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N doesn’t compete strongly with BMW M4
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and the BMW M4 Competition go head to head in a drag race. The results aren't as close as one might expect, given the strengths of each platform. Imagine telling someone ten years ago that a Hyundai would not only be as fast as a BMW M4, but faster. Now, on top of that, this Hyundai is an electric car. It sounds crazy, but that’s the world we live in. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); The BMW here is a 2024 M4 Competition with a twin-turbocharged inline-six engine that makes 503 horsepower (374 kilowatts). It weighs 3,786 pounds (1,717 kilograms) and costs $111,045. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, on the other hand, makes 641 horsepower (477 kilowatts) but weighs 4,871 pounds (2209 kilograms). Of course, it only costs $67,685, which means you can afford another car and still spend…
15,000-mile owner review: 2023 Hyundai Sonata SEL
When we get the vehicle To write reviews for this site, they are provided by different manufacturers and we test each for a week. This review is different. I have had the pleasure of daily use of a 2023 Hyundai Sonata SEL for the past 15,000 miles... because I bought it. These are the things that attracted me, the features I have enjoyed over the past few months, and the shortcomings I have noticed. Keep it simple When I was looking for a car to replace my 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt, I had a general idea of what I wanted. Considering my commute to work takes 45-60 minutes each way, good fuel economy was a must. So were rear seats and rear doors so that my mother-in-law could comfortably travel with my wife and I. I first drove the Honda Accord, but I didn't like the CVT it had. I find most CVTs feel like rubber bands, and some don't…

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy AWD
The shape The latest generation of a car can often be summed up in two words: evolution or revolution. The Porsche 911 is an example of evolutionary visual change. Despite advances in aerodynamics and technology, it always looks like a 911. Then there's a car like the Hyundai Santa Fe. The fourth-generation model, which runs from 2019 to 2023, has curvy sheetmetal like many of its competitors. For the all-new 2024 model, Hyundai ditched the old design and started over with straight lines and rigid angles. It was a bloodless revolution that severed the visual connection between the new Santa Fe and its ancestors. （Top floor small room Hyundai offers the new Santa Fe in gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid guises.
