Shopping for an atomic toaster – 2017 Hyundai Ioniq EV
/
/
comments
At this moment, the electrified car I find the most suitable for my commute and budget is the Hyundai Ioniq Electric. It is about as far from enthusiast cars as the Prius and the second generation Honda Insight are, and it also shares its side profile with those cars. It’s absolutely, completely forgettable, but luckily…

2021 Hyundai Veloster N l Review
/
/
comments
It’s funny, I just of waxed poetic about the Hyundai Veloster Turbo not too long ago. With the big “long live the hot hatch” tagline attached, I noted that it delivered a “best-of-both-worlds mix of spirited performance and day-to-day comfort” but also pointed out that the “biggest issue with the Veloster Turbo Ultimate for the…

2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited: New Class Standard?

comments
About a decade ago one of my podcast co-hosts, the infamous Roundabout Show’s own Craig Cole (now with Roadshow), and I attended a local ride and drive of a previous generation Hyundai Tucson. He kept referring to it as the “Tuckson”. And damn you, Craig Cole, that has stuck in my brain so hard I have…

2021 Hyundai Veloster N: Yup, it’s still great!
/
/
comments
Hyundai added the option of an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission to the Veloster N. Does that sap the joy? Nope! In fact, it opens up the appeal of the car to a wider audience. Here in the States, the 2021 Hyundai Veloster N is *the* hot hatch to buy, no doubt about it. [Disclaimer: Hyundai tossed…

2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited – Hyundai is killing it!

comments
Seriously, the title of this article couldn’t be more true. I say this with no specific preference or bias regarding the Korean automaker. It’s just that this ongoing car-review-story that I’ve been telling has a hero emerging, and its name is the Hyundai Motor Company. Between their various badges, Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis, they are…

2020 Hyundai Elantra GT N Line: Half Measures
/
/
comments
Preamble When a five-door hatchback like the Elantra GT, rolling on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires and with a manual transmission is dropped off for you, you have expectations. More so, given that Hyundai, for more than a decade, tends to deliver a lot of value for the money. To that value point, this is…

2020 Hyundai Veloster Turbo – Long live the hot hatch

comments
It’s not hard to get nostalgic for the hot hatchback, they deliver a great mix of performance and practicality. Many of your favorite automotive TV presenter-types have pined for an original Mk1 GTI over the latest supercar while on camera. I like to try and tell a running story during these reviews, and my history…

An electric daily driver is looking like a better idea all the time. One of the best ones on the market right now is the Hyundai Kona Electric. The battery pack is a 60-kWh unit and it provides the motors with enough juice for an EPA-estimated range of 258 miles on a full charge. And…

2020 Hyundai Venue – Tiny and not so mighty
/
/
comments
Perhaps I am losing my grip on the automotive world. When I got a call asking me if I want to review the Hyundai Venue I quickly answered yes, without really knowing what the Venue was. I assumed it was an all-new vehicle, probably an SUV or SUV-ish in some way. I wanted more information,…

Review: 2020 Hyundai Palisade Limited AWD
/

comments
Reviewing cars is an odd profession. While you can, and should, weave in some of your own preferences and needs into the recommendation, you’re usually answering the question of “should you buy it” with “well, it depends”. I’ve been accused by fellow journalists, and likely some manufacturer reps, of being a bit too honest. That’s…
