I have a 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT with about 63000 miles driven. I was wondering if the timing belt needs to be changed even though I don’t drive it hard. If so, does Hyundai cover timing belt replacement under the warranty as I’m the original owner of the car. Also, I bought this car after graduation in TX but currently live in CA. Thanks.

Put your hands together for the 2008 Hyundai Veracruz.

Yes, this new vehicle model which just hit the automotive industry last year has been given an accolade by automotive industry expert Kelley Blue Book. The group had given the 2008 Hyundai Veracruz a spot in its Best New Family Vehicles list.

Choosing the vehicles that would be part of the list was no easy task, the editors of KBB had disclosed through The Auto Channel. They had to go through quite a list of vehicles which were exemplary and had the features that could bring them straight right up the list. However, the editors still had to choose vehicles based on criteria. Is the vehicle safe? Does it have enough space inside? Is it priced too much? How about its resale value? How good is its fuel efficiency? What is the vehicle capable of doing? Would it be dangerous for children? These are the criteria that the editors worked with to find the best vehicles to make the list.

KBB’s executive editorial director as well as executive market analyst Jack R. Nerad shared his thoughts about the Hyundai Veracruz: “If you’re intrigued by the idea of treating your family to premium accommodations at mass-market prices, you’ll want to check out the seven-passenger Veracruz mid-size crossover. The quiet, comfortable, well-appointed Veracruz starts just under $28,000, offers a long list of desirable options and is backed by a reassuringly comprehensive warranty that includes 100,000-mile powertrain coverage and five-year, 24-hour roadside assistance.”

The 2008 Hyundai Veracruz is a midsized crossover sport utility vehicle which is currently being sold in quite a few car markets. It has the capacity to take in seven passengers comfortably and for 2008, it now comes with a new navigation system manufactured by LG. The vehicle has been made to be friendly to users and to other automotive products available in the market so much so that you can use a keeper zipnet series cargo net with it. You also do get an AM/FM/XM Satellite radio and a CD/MP3 audio player with the vehicle to accompany you during long drives.

As per safety, the vehicle is equipped with the Electronic Stability Control and has six air bags that come with side air curtains. All three rows of seats have these airbags and side curtains so much so that in cases of untoward incidents everybody’s protected well.

Hyundai motors do not seem to be very much affected with their export dreams for India with the appreciation of the rupee. With the launch of i10, the car maker is expecting its export growth going high to 1.20 lakh units compared to 1.15 lakh in 2006.

Recently launched i10 has already won many hearts increasing their sales figure too. This sporty looking car carries an affordable price tag. The LPG version for Santro will be also launched by this year giving them another good reason to hike their sales. The company saw a fall in their sales due to shortage in the manufacturing volume for a year and half in the past but now they are slowly recovering with their new launches.

Hyundai’s Chennai plant will be concentrating on the small cars segment like Getz and Santro. And with the operation of the second plant this year, the export will be double for Getz and Santro cars to European and other markets such as South Africa and South America from 2008. Beside their domestic market the company is also concentrating exporting advanced version of Santro cars to Europe, West Asia and African markets.

Hyundai Elantra is also expected a new avatar by replacing it with ‘Avante’ that will be rolling out by mid 2008. Elantra was stopped commercially, as had always been struggling to find its place amidst its peers that have been posting impressive sales in India. But to be on the stands of Honda Civic, Chevrolet Optra, Skoda Octavia and Toyota Corolla in D-segment, the new avatar of Elantra r would be priced between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 12 lakh.

Hyundai Motor’s maps India is its plan of becoming small car specialist and India would take the major share of it. They expect production in India to account for 30 per cent of overseas production by 2009.

I have an ‘89 Hyundai Sonata. The car runs well-when it will start. About half the time I go to start it it won’t turn over. The battery is good and the connections work fine. If I continue to turn the key over and over (and pray and curse at it) it will eventually start. Any ideas?

Hyundai has released its H-1 Starex as the brand’s all-new business van.

Available as commercial (cargo) and passenger cars, it has the 2.5 Common Rail Diesel injected A engine (4D56). It offers a Euro-IV compliant engine and turbocharged inter-cooled engine, and a 2.4-liter Theta engine that delivers 175ps and 23.2kg.m of torque while giving 9.4km per liter of fuel. This power plant option engine can drive the new H-1 to a 185km/h speed as the maximum and has a fuel economy rating of 7.0 km per liter. It comes with a five-speed manual gearbox or the optional four-speed automatic. This option depends on the local market requirements.

The new H-1 gets the A 2.5 CRDi, a Euro-IV compliant engine which with the help of a Variable Geometry Turbocharger yields 170ps and 40kg m of torque. However, this is true to the EU and Korean markets only.

The 2.4-liter Theta engine is a new offering for markets requiring gasoline propulsion.

At the 2007 Seoul Motor Show, Hyundai first released this van with impressive lines, and more space that contributes to further comfort and convenience.

Project codenamed as TQ, the van is available in several seating layouts. The passenger car can accommodate 8, 9, 11 or 12 passengers while the commercial van can accommodate 2, 3, 5, or 6.

Included in the major new exterior features are the addition of dual sliding side doors, twin swing rear doors (for commercial van only), enlarged wheels and tires (205/70R15 -> 215/70R16), back-up warning system (for passenger van only) and a sliding side window (for wagon only).

Digging into its interior, you will find improved mounting of the transmission gear shift lever to the center fascia to avoid distraction of movement between the driver seat and front passenger seat. You will also see an overhead storage console, an added feature. The new Hyundai H-1 also has an electro-chromic rear view mirror and new roof-mounted air vents for further cooling and heating throughout the cabin.

This new Hyundai vehicle comes with 16-inch front disc brakes. These yield better braking power than the previous H-1 discs. A MacPherson strut front suspension is added to further experience better handling conditions.

The new H-1 diesel version will start under production in August 2007. The petrol version will be under production after November 2007. When these vehicles enter production in August, Hyundai projects 115,000 sales of units annually with the Korean market accounting for 65,500 vans of the total.
