The 2012 Hyundai Azera Tops Government Fuel Economy Ratings

If you enjoy a great ride, but are also looking for a car that has excellent gas mileage, the Hyundai Azera is the car for you. Car enthusiasts love it for its style and performance, and economic consious drivers prefer it for its price and gas mileage. The Azera tops government fuel economy ratings for non-hybrid cars with 20 miles city driving and 29 mpg on the highway. Come by to try one out!

The 2012 Hyundai Azera isn't a hybrid or a luxury-branded car. But it's tops among 2012 non-diesel, non-hybrid large sedans in government fuel economy ratings with 20 miles a gallon in city driving and 29 mpg on the highway. 

The new Azera also has so many standard luxury features, including 293-horsepower V-6, light-emitting diode headlight accents, navigation system and rearview camera with large, 7-inch, in-dashboard screen display, that it might be confused with a high-tech, luxury sedan. 

The roomy Azera four door now is attractively styled like the smaller and better known Hyundai Sonata mid-size sedan and has more front-seat legroom — a total of 45.5 inches — than a Cadillac Escalade or Ford Expedition.

Sneak Peek at The Hyundai Sante Fe

Hyundai has given an early sneak peek of the upcoming Santa Fe,Hyundai's third generation of crossovers. The photo reveals a lot about the design of the car, and we are very curious to see what they have hidden under the hood, and what tech will surprise us in the cab. What do you think so far?

Known by the code name DM in South Korea, the crossover will get its full unveiling at next month's New York auto show. 

This much is clear: Hyundai will keep the name Santa Fe. It will be the crossover's third generation. 

Says Hyundai: "The third-generation Santa Fe features sophisticated and refined lines, which are in harmony with bold and voluminous surfaces, completing a more aggressive and classic look than its predecessor. The design adopts the hexagonal grille -- a key design cue of the Hyundai family look -- a two-tone voluminous bottom car body and wider front and rear bumpers, creating a futuristic and urban-style SUV image."

Hyundai of Greensburg Aiding Hope On Wheels

Since 1998, Hyundai and its dealers have been committed to supporting the fight against childhood cancer. What began in 1998 as a local initiative supported by New England-area Hyundai dealers to raise funds for the Jimmy Fund at Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has evolved into Hyundai Hope on Wheels, an independent 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that is now supported nationwide by Hyundai's 800+ dealers and Hyundai Motor America. Since its inception, Hyundai Hope on Wheels has donated more than $23 million to children's hospitals across the country to help kids fight cancer. Every time a new Hyundai vehicle is sold in the U.S., a donation is made to Hope on Wheels.

The Hope on Wheels Tour is the united effort of Hyundai dealers across the country to raise awareness about childhood cancer and celebrate the lives of the courageous children battling the disease. In 2010, the Hope on Wheels Tour traveled to 44 children's hospitals across the country and donated more than $2 million to support further training and research for doctors involved in childhood cancer research. Hyundai Hope on Wheels designates the medical professionals supported by these donations as Hyundai Scholars.

In 2011, Hyundai and its dealers will continue their commitment to battling childhood cancer with the “Hyundai Gives Hope on Wheels” initiative during the month of September - Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In addition to the $2 million raised through the 2010 Hope on Wheels Tour, Hyundai Motor America and Hyundai dealers donated an additional $6.8 million to children’s hospitals and other non-profit organizations across the country through last year’s September initiative.

Hyundai's New i-onic Concept

Hyundai has uncovered their new i-onic concept car, a sleek and smooth addition to the Hyundai brand. Not only is the i-onic great on gas mileage due to its hybrid engine, but it has a unique design which promises to steal the spotlight in upcoming Auto Shows. What do you think of the design so far?

While full specs will still have to wait for a few days, the first official photo of the Hyundai i-onic Concept that debuts in Geneva clearly lives up to the promise of the original design sketch released late last year. We do know that the most dramatic embodiment yet of the firm's Fluidic Sculpture styling language features a range-extending 1.0-liter/three-cylinder gasoline engine that serves as a supplemental generator to the car's primary 108-horsepower electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack. In pure EV mode, this striking four-passenger hatch/coupe can travel up to 75 mile on a single charge but carry on for an additional 360 miles after its range-extender engine kicks in. Beyond that, we're told the Hyundai i-onic Concept boasts a roomy, high-tech cabin with a sport-focused driver area and a lounge-like flavor to the rest of the interior that features sculpted surfaces inspired by various musical instruments.

Hyundai Steps It Up for Oscar Commercials

Hyundai created a pair of commercials to run during the Oscars, and they are surprisingly well done. The car company had director Wes Anderson (creator of "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "The Life Aquatic") to create the videos, the first of which is titled "Talk to My Car," and the second "Modern Life." Take a look, what do you think of the ads?

Who would have thought even a few years ago that Hyundai would successfully market itself through TV commercials as one of the hippest car companies? 

The latest example: Hyundai tapped cult-classic movie director Wes Anderson ("The Royal Tenenbaums," "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou") to produce a pair of spots for the Azera that ran during the Academy Awards telecast. 

One, titled “Talk to My Car,” focuses on Hyundai’s BlueLink system's ability to easily find an Italian restaurant when the driver asks for it. To set up the spot’s premise that it’s “always been a dream to talk to our cars,” Anderson includes references to "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," "Knight Rider," "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "The Italian Job" – all in 30 seconds.

Driving the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Eager to get your hands on the new 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe? So are we. But in the meantime, we've learned about some first hand impressions with it. Car enthusiasts love it for its updated/upgraded engine, style and design, and of course for its price. While starting at just $25,125 for the basic package, the Genesis Coupe promises to be a game changer in the new car market. Check out this review by Automobile Magazine about the impressive features on this new Hyundai.

When we drove the Genesis coupe in mid-2009 at a media preview, we were pretty impressed with Hyundai’s efforts. After thrashing both turbo four-cylinder and naturally aspirated V-6 models around a racetrack, we concluded: “Regardless of which flavor you choose or modifications you install, there's plenty about the Genesis coupe to like. It's an affordable, attractive sports coupe, with the unique appeal of rear-wheel drive.” In subsequent drives of the Genesis coupe at our editorial office, Automobile Magazine editors found plenty to like but also lots to gripe about. Generally speaking, we concluded that ride comfort (especially in models with the optional track package), interior trim quality, overall refinement, and the power delivery and NVH characteristics of the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, in particular, were lacking. So, although we loved the idea of the Genesis coupe---a rear-wheel-drive sporty car for the common man, an all-too-rare commodity---we thought the common man deserved more. “Here’s one Hyundai that needs some more polishing,” was a typical comment from our 2009 reviews.

Another Rave Review for the Veloster

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is an extremely affordable and stylish car for any car enthusiast. With 40mpg highway and 28 city, it is also a bank saver. The Veloster starts at $23,990, and as such is a great deal for anyone looking for unique style, a slim appearance, and a gas-friendly car.

The Veloster also comes with a few modern additions including a high-end audio system, an iPhone charger, a USB input, and much more. With a five-star safety rating, the Veloster is a good choice for any driver

Overall we found Hyundai’s Veloster a surprisingly good package, given the price. The extensive list of standard features puts some European luxury cars to shame, but as good as the additional kit in the Veloster+ is, the base model with DCT ($25,990) is the one we’d recommend. 

There’s a reason Hyundai is the fastest growing car company in the world, it’s giving the market what it wants at a very reasonable price. We simply cannot wait for the Veloster turbo. Click on the gallery tab for more pictures. 

Hyundai Veloster Pricing:

• Veloster Manual – $23,990

• Veloster DCT – $25,990

• Veloster+ Manual – $27,990

• Veloster+ DCT – $29,990
