2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has gone on to start in early summer with a new look and improved technology. Can be seen that the new model year, mainly due to the redesigned front end, which now appears in the Hyundai design language "Fluidic Sculpture" and does the racy yet sleek coupe. But the rear end and interior were slightly revised and presented to a very high and modern.

Hyundai Genesis 2013 3.8-liter V6 with automatic transmission selected. The 347-hp coupe is then almost completely equipped and offers. Also on board are, among other things, ABS, ESP, six airbags, cruise control, xenon headlamps, LED daytime running lights, LED tail lights, Leather interior, Seat heating for driver and front passenger, automatic climate control, a rear parking aid, 19 "alloy wheels, an on-board computer, an audio system, a keyless entry and start system and power windows.

The redesigned interior is from a very luxurious side and perfectly finished. Not quite the high-quality design, it fits, but that it is not a navigation system nor a 2-zone climate control. Except for these two features but is all on board with what one would expect from such a stylish coupe. The comfortable leather seats offer plenty of grip, and the landscape design of the fittings are well suited to dynamic outfit the vehicle.

Also, the space of the 2 +2- seater can be seen, at least for the passengers of the first row. In the rear, there is something close to type of construction, and also the trunk volume of 284 liters is more designed for small trips.

Besides a beautiful ambience is one of a sports coupe but also the performance, and in this point, Hyundai has a lot to offer something new. The performance of the 3.8 liter V6 was from 303 hp to 347 hp (255 kW) increased, so now even better performances are made possible.

The engine carries out his work here with full dedication and underscored his commitment also like acoustic highlights. Who sits blindfolded in the Genesis Coupe and experienced the engine sound at full throttle, would rather tap a super sports car from Italy, Korea as a coupe, as the acoustically impressive 6-cylinder goes to work.

But not only adjusts the sound, the performance figures are accordingly. In just 5.9 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km / h top speed is 260 km / h The power delivery is also very good, the engine offers even at low engine speeds much force, even if the maximum torque of 400 Nm is available only at 5,300 rev / min.

Here you really have to be careful that the enormous power is put on the road. Who fully equal increases on the gas, will see spinning wheels and a rear prancing, which is captured by the technical brownies again quickly. When wet, then caution is ever offered here should be the force that acts on the rear wheels never underestimate.

Very good fits to the sporty character of the new 8-speed automatic transmission, which has replaced the 6-speed automatic transmission of the predecessor. The gears are changed buttery soft and very quickly, if you like, can also via shift paddles on the steering wheel sort the gears manually.

Even the chassis and suspension are completely adapted to the sporty attributes. Here you can tell nothing more of the U.S. genes that lie dormant in the Genesis Coupe. The car is very good on the road, and despite a length of 463 cm, the coupe is very nimble to move. The low seating position and a very direct steering also provide an ideal contact with the road.

But much force is of course also very thirsty, and so you should still take into account the odd liters more fuel consumption. The promised by the factory 10 liters per 100 kilometers are suppose to create only if you never want to experience the enjoyment of the engine sounds. In our test, the Genesis Coupe is content with 11.2 liters, which is not much, but considering the great performance is still bearable.

With the Genesis Coupe, Hyundai has in any case a coupe of old school in a new outfit and new technology in the program. The combination of a powerful engine and rear wheel drive is not often found today and therefore like all the more. Even if the target group is very small, so the race-bred coupe offers a good mix of sporty performance, good facilities and elegant surroundings.

The design of the Hyundai Genesis coupe looks even more dynamic by the facelift, and the fun does not come off. Thus, the Genesis coupe like almost all along the line and stands out well from the broad mass of the vehicles.

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Review

The Hyundai Veloster Turbo has now also a sportier coupe version of its innovative on the market.

Sports coupe at Hyundai have a long tradition. With the Veloster, the Koreans have now a very slick coupe on offer, which will delight you with an innovative door system. While on the driver's side door only, there are two doors on the passenger side to allow access to the rear seats is facilitated.

Especially the rear with the integrated diffuser and the centrally positioned sports exhaust tailpipes fits very well with the sporty orientation of the Veloster Turbo.

The technicians have not trimmed the turbocharged engine to maximum power yield but at maximum torque, which should significantly increase the driving fun. Compared to the normal GDI turbo performance when 33% to 186 hp (137 kW) has been increased. The maximum torque has been increased by as much as 59% to 265 Nm, while they are willing 1500-4500 r / min.

Then sprints in 8.4 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and reaches a top speed of 214 km / h The engine does its work well as a quiet, only at full speed one perceives a sonorous roar that accompanies the performance of the turbo musical.

Impressive is that the Veloster Turbo features especially at intermediate sprint across a lot of power, which can also be very lazy way switching. The manual 6-speed transmission is in fact entirely designed for thrift, and so / is called for h, the highest gear even at just over 60 km. It then rises sharply on the gas, it still comes forward very neat.

Only when overtaking, where not so much space is available, you should turn down two gears to really savor the full force can. Chassis and suspension offer a good compromise between ride comfort and sporty hardness.

With 320 liter capacity and the trunk volume is large enough to even stand up to 1,015 liters of cargo space by folding down the rear seats are available.

The sporty designed interior also has many practical shelves, just like the other Hyundai models. Positive mention you have the large compartment in the lower section of the center console, where the AUX and USB ports as well as two car charging stations are housed here. Also, the material quality and processing can be seen, particularly successful is the dash cover in carbon design, which is very high quality and a very sporty touch sprayed.

The equipment itself can be described as completely over. As standard, the Veloster Turbo with ABS, ESP, six airbags, automatic climate control, leather seats with Turbo logo, Seat heating for driver and front passenger, 18 "alloy wheels, a premium audio system with a center speaker and subwoofer, a navigation system with 7" color monitor, light sensor , tire pressure control, leather steering wheel and leather gear knob, Smart Key, the Supervision fittings, electric windows, cruise control and much more.

The slip-dependent wheel-drive system improves handling by constantly for optimum torque distribution between front and rear axle provides. Monitored for the intelligent control unit of the system, the road conditions and analyzes the signals obtained. As a result, Dynamax anticipate changes in driving conditions and without delay provide the necessary traction in the right place for disposal. The power distribution to the rear takes an electro-hydraulic multi-plate clutch.

Since the Hyundai ix35 4WD with good road conditions with front-wheel drive is the way he achieved in comparison with other four-wheel vehicles with fuel consumption and emissions benefits. Another advantage of the Dynamax system is the increased side stability in curves: Undesirable traction forces on the front and rear axles are reduced, thereby inadvertently over-or understeer of the vehicle is prevented. An important argument in the trailer is the high cooling performance of the system so as to avoid overheating the clutch.

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo

At Auto Show in Detroit celebrated the 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo made ​​its debut, from summer 2012, he is also available in Europe.

With the Veloster Hyundai has added a sleek coupe into the program in 2011, which established its three-door concept with a lot of attention. Many potential customers reached 1.6-liter GDI engine but not enough. Hyundai has responded quickly and at the Detroit Motor Show with the Veloster Turbo presents its new top model in the series.

Visually you can see the turbo in a slightly modified front and rear aprons, as well as a new Doppelendauspuff, which will also provide a robust sound of the turbo coupe. A new painting in matt gray and custom 18 "alloy wheels complete the sporty appearance continues to decrease.

Under the hood hides are still the 1.6-liter GDI, which has but with the turbo now has an output of 201 hp. Its maximum torque of 195 Nm, the sporty Hyundai 1750-4500 rev / min.

So shall the Hyundai Veloster Turbo not only provide plenty of driving fun but also show enough power from the bottom out. The fuel consumption is an average of 7.3 liters per 100 kilometers, but quite small.

2012 Hyundai i30

The second generation of the 2012 Hyundai i30 to continue the successful path of its predecessor. In our test, we tell, whether this can succeed.

The first generation of Hyundai i30 would provided for a full order book, with the second generation Hyundai to expand its position in the compact segment now on.

The new i30 is presenting their complete trust in the new design style of Hyundai, the flowing lines of the "Fluidic Sculpture" design the compact Koreans are very good and let him not only very dynamic, but also have high quality.

For our test we have chosen the Hyundai i30 with the 90 hp diesel engine in the top features "premium". A combination that combines perfectly comfortable traveling with frugal fuel consumption. Factory-equipped with seven airbags, ABS, ESP, 2-zone automatic climate control, electrically adjustable, heated and foldable exterior mirrors, a sliding front center armrest, cruise control, audio system with CD and MP3 playback control as well as USB / iPod, and Aux connection, heated seats for driver and front passenger, LED daytime running lights, fog lights, Bluetooth hands-free kit and a rear parking aid.

In addition, our test vehicle still drenched with a parking aid front, 16 "alloy wheels, metallic paint, supervision fittings with TFT screen, a full spare wheel and the Blue Drive ISG start / stop system.

As modern as the exterior looks of the i30 is so modern it also goes further in the interior. The landscape is fitting in a sporty design and is equipped with high quality materials. The mix of soft plastic and looks very durable.

The Hyundai i30 also shines with good ergonomics, all the levers and buttons are easily accessible, and the high positioning of radio and climate control, including large buttons, is also successful. Many trays and cup holders are also positive on how good the available space in the i30. Passengers of both series can look forward to a class for this generous space, and the trunk volume is impressive. With 376-1316 liters, the luggage compartment is sized large enough, and the rear seats can be folded down easily.

The interior of the 430 cm-long Korean may therefore have to convince the entire length, the question remains whether one of the weakest in the diesel Hyundai i30 range will also suffice. Up front, we can say that the engine does its work very quietly. Even after a cold start and at high speeds it is due to the excellent sound insulation in the interior always pleasantly quiet.

The performance of the 1.4-liter diesel engine is 90 hp (66 kW) with peak torque of 220 Nm 1500-2750 rev / min are available. The i30 is here already from low revs on the gas pedal. Nevertheless, you realize pretty quickly that the diesel has 90 hp with the 1.4-ton i30 is not necessarily an easy task. Pass for the sprint from 0 to 100 km / h 13.5 seconds, top speed is 170 km / h

This is of course perfectly adequate, and the good noise reduction to get even on long trips along well with the diesel. Anyone who relies more on athleticism, but should definitely take the more powerful diesel versions of i30 (110 and 128 hp) in the eye.

Chassis and suspension offer that is quite a sporty touch, while the basic design is more toward comfort. Even gross irregularities are filtered out perfectly, and if you did not know that you are traveling in a compact car, it would also certainly tap a large touring sedan when it comes to ride comfort.

The light steering and very easy-shift 6-speed manual gearbox perfectly matched to the Hyundai i30. The correct switching time you get via the well-to-read LCD screen displays in the dashboard, so you should be even more economical way.

In terms of consumption, the smallest diesel namely score high. At the factory-stated 4.0-liter, although we had not approached, with 4.8 liters to get well faster at driving but ends meet.

Not quite as good at the Hyundai i30 is the panoramic view that is affected by the rising window line to the rear a bit. The PDC can handle this small shortcoming but also perfect to park and so is the rear of the vehicle perfectly without outside contact.
