cardekho asked:


Hyundai Sonata is the all-new upgraded version of the Sonata Embera from Hyundai Motors. The car hosts several new features and upgrades in terms of style, comfort, and convenience. The sedan is impulsive in style, power-packed performance, and exquisite interiors are offered under the Hyundai brand known for reliability and value.

An enlarged chrome radiator grille, wider front bumper and air dam, larger headlamps, and new design alloy wheels are some exterior highlights. The new interior sees dual tone interiors, high quality materials, and a host of chrome and wood inserts which enhance appearance and durability. Hyundai has added a second generation Theta petrol engine on the Sonata Transform for improved fuel efficiency and performance.

With its alluring style and active performance, the premium sedan challenges its rivals - the Honda Accord and Volkswagen Jetta. The car strengthens Hyundai’s presence in the Indian car market particularly in the premium car segment.

Within a short period of time, Hyundai Sonata has become a popular brand in India. Sonata has been recognised as the favourite car of upper and upper middle class in India. Hyundai Motor India Limited launched the fifth-generation Sonata Embera, setting new standards in technological excellence with a 2.4-litre petrol engine and a 2-litre diesel engine, improved styling, refined interiors and advanced safety features. The new car will take on competitors in the premium luxury D-Segment on Indian roads.

Dynamic suspension and an excellent rear-seat ride quality, one of Sonata’s key appealing features, continue to dominate the Sonata’s redesign. Hyundai Motor says that the Embera offers much higher fuel efficiency because of its light weight and aluminium engine block. With its contemporary international styling, refined driving dynamics and 170-mm ground clearance, it is time to take a second good look at the Sonata.

The hood, featuring a prominent V-shaped ridge, meets the chrome-lipped signature grille. Wrap-around tail lamps (resembling those of the Honda Accord’s) and sporty twin exhaust notes bring up the rear, balancing the front visage and emphasising the car’s new international styling. Flared wheel arches feature 16-inch alloy wheels, and tubeless tyres give the Embera a sturdy, well-heeled profile. The new version is also a bit wider and taller than the Honda Accord.

The Sonata Transform is available in both diesel and petrol versions in two main variants - 2.4 VTVT (Petrol) and 2.0 CRDi (Diesel). The petrol version is powered by a 2.4-litre MPFI second generation Theta engine that produces 173 bhp and diesel variants come with a 148 bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine with a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT). The petrol engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and diesel engine is available with either a 6-speed manual or a 4-Speed H-Matic automatic gearbox which gives the choice of shifting from automatic to a manual sports mode when required.

The front independent double wishbone suspension and rear multi-link suspension come with coil springs, gas shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars similar to the Embera and offer a stable and highly comfortable ride.

Launch of Hyundai i30 in India

May 16th, 2010
Hyundai
Rita Jain asked:


It looks like God is raining cars upon India. Indian car lovers are now seeing exciting times wherein some amazing cars have already entered the Indian roads and many more are lined-up.

Hyundai, the second largest passenger car manufacturer in India is doing good business and riding on the success of its Indian car launches. The next in line from the famous i-series cars from Hyundai Motors in India will be the premium hatchback Hyundai i30.

Hyundai plans to execute the launch of all its i-series (i10, i20, i30, i40) cars in India. i10 and i20 have already enjoyed huge success in India and the next in line Hyundai i30 has to match up to all those huge expectations when it gets a launch in India around the end of 2009. The i30 is sure to be a winner on the Indian roads as it boasts of many exciting features including seatbelt reminders and steering mounted audio controls.

One of the important elements that Hyundai missed on while launching the i10 and i20 was the overall design. The i10 and i20 are not that impressive with their exterior looks. Hyundai India, it seems have taken this important element into consideration and have now incorporated excellent styling into the Hyundai 30. By the first looks of the upcoming Hyundai i30 it seems that the European Design Team of Hyundai has spent a lot of time at the drawing board while conceptualising the i30 and I am sure this will surely reap in benefits when the car gets a final launch in India.

Hyundai Santa Fe - THE DARING LUXURY SUV

April 28th, 2010
Hyundai
Rita Jain asked:


Hyundai Santa Fe - THE DARING LUXURY SUV

Hyundai Motor India luxury Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) ‘Santa Fe’ has its mega power to rule the roads. It will be available in both petrol and diesel versions with the most demanding cost somewhere around 19-22 lakhs, catering to the segment which adores to possess everything that looks royal. Riding on the huge success of Hyundai i10 and i20, the newest SUV from Hyundai Motor, Santa Fe will also make its position in the heavy-wieght segment of SUV’s.

Safety and comfort have not been compromised on the exuberant design of this new SUV by Hyundai Motor. It is set to have impressive features including ESP, ABS and a powerful V Series Engine. Lot of eye to detail has gone in to the design of the Hyundai Santa Fe as it boasts of beautifully done interiors. Hyundai Santa Fe is big and that imposing grille with an “I-am-bored” look will only add to its character. The gradually rising waistline makes the rear look a little odd though. The flared wheel-arches will house massive wheels. Hyundai plans to import the Santa Fe in India and will offer a delicious 2.2-liter, 148bhp diesel motor which might be tuned to suit Indian fuel quality.

The overall appearance of the SUV is very sporty and elegant and will surely hit the right chord with the buyers of SUV vehicles in India. With the upcoming new SUV to be launched in the premium segment, Hyundai Motors certainly looks all geared up to capture the SUV car market in India. A daring machine adventure & sports car freaks. There is no clarity yet as to the final launch date of the Hyundai Santa Fe in India, however the competition is sure to heat up whenever it gets a formal launch in the Indian markets.

Benard Worseley asked:


Featuring a new head-turning style, excellent safety dynamics, and versatile interiors, the new Hyundai i20 releasing in late March 2009 definitely outshines its predecessors. Building on its image of cost-effectiveness and reliability, Hyundai enhanced the design, the quality, and the functionality of its i20 model. It sports intelligently configured interiors, new chassis and tuned suspension, fuel-efficient turbo-diesel engines, and the choice of automatic or manual transmission.

Its looks are appealing and inoffensive; drivers from any age group can drive the Hyundai i20 and still look stylish. Inside the cabin, the Hyundai i20releasing in late March 2009 is impressive. It has one of the best interiors of all Hyundai cars and it rivals the market leaders in its segment.

Luxury and comfort is evident in any angle. There are four trim levels available for this model including the Classic, the Comfort, the Style, and the Premium.

The Comfort version of the Hyundai i20 features multifunction wheels and upholstery panels. Meanwhile, its Style version sports leather seats and metallic trim at the dashboard. The plastics used in the interiors have also improved in quality compared to previous Hyundai models.

Hyundai i20- New hatchback by Hyundai Motors

April 23rd, 2010
Hyundai
Suresh Sharma asked:


The small car industry is one of the largest segments of car manufacturing in India. Every year, new cars are being added to this category and it keeps growing every year. The simple reason for the growing small car industry is that most of the people in India are from middle class families. These families can’t afford to buy sedans that cost quite a lot; their only other option is to buy a hatch back that fits into their budget.

There are plenty of small cars available in the market today; all of them fall between the Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh range. Another reason why a lot of people buy small cars is due to heavy traffic. A lot of people prefer driving small cars simply because they are easier to maneuver.

Many car manufacturers have seen this increase in demand for small cars and have started rolling out high end small cars that cost as much as a sedan. Skoda launched the Fabia which was a “costly” hatch back that was priced as much as the low end models of a sedan.

Hyundai soon followed suit with the launch of the Hyundai i20. The Hyundai price for the i20 was somewhere around Rs. 6-7 lakhs which is actually a lot for a hatch back. But even with this high pricing the Hyundai i20 manages to do pretty well.

The i20 runs on the same engine as its younger sibling the i10. It is powered by a more powerful 1.2 liter Kappa engine that churns a good amount of power. The Hyundai i20 is available in 2 variants - Petrol and diesel. There are many models of the i20, they are:

1. Hyundai i20 1.4 Magna Diesel with ABS

2. Hyundai i20 1.4 Asta Diesel

3. Hyundai i20 1.4 Asta AT with Sunroof

4. Hyundai i20 1.4 Asta Diesel With Sunroof

5. Hyundai i20 1.4 Asta (AT)

6. Hyundai i20 Magna

7. Hyundai i20 Asta

8. Hyundai i20 Asta

Each of these models has different features and offer good value for their price. Hyundai i20 price varies on different models. Hyundai has a very good service network so you do not have to worry much about maintenance issues. Overall, the Hyundai i20 is an excellent car for those people who have bigger budgets.
