The first kilometers behind the wheel of the new model with a 1,4-liter turbo engine The new edition of Hyundai I30 is an excellent example of how consistent the Koreans are in constantly improving their cars. First impressions. Let's start with a well-groomed 1.6-liter diesel. Then comes the temperamental and characteristically sounding three-cylinder gasoline unit. Finally, we come to the most interesting thing - the new 1,4-liter gasoline turbo engine with a capacity of 140 hp. 242 Nm at 1500 rpm promise decent dynamics. However, the four-cylinder engine showed its power a little later. The thrust becomes truly confident only after passing 2200 rpm, when the full temperament of a modern engine with direct injection appears. The manual gearbox allows you to easily and accurately shift gears, so relatively frequent pressing of the gear lever is a pleasure. The selected…

The shiniest piece of wood, the imaginary VIP passenger, and other things that excite the Equus the most… In an ideal world, we could buy a hot hatch for $16, look at Japanese crossovers and choose between Opel Astra and Honda Civic. In that reality, there were Volkswagen Scirocco, Chevrolet Cruze and Nissan Teana assembled in Russia. Over the past year, the alignment of forces in the Russian market has changed dramatically: a well-equipped budget sedan can no longer be bought for less than $019, and the cost of a large crossover has approached the price of a two-room apartment in Yuzhny Butovo. Executive sedans have risen in price even more - up to $ 9 it is no longer possible to order a car in a medium modification. But there are exceptions - for example, Hyundai Equus added for ...

The sixth generation Hyundai Elantra turned out in the best traditions of the C-class - with a scattering of previously inaccessible options, a new engine and a radically different appearance. But the main revelation of the novelty is not in the design, but in the price tags. The history of Elantra is similar to a serial film with a cloying storyline and a very charismatic main character. One of the most popular golf-class sedans in Russia, which at the turn of the century was called Lantra, changed generations, received new options and engines, rose in price shamelessly and was updated again, but always went to the segment leaders. The sixth generation Hyundai Elantra turned out in the best traditions of the C-class - with a scattering of previously inaccessible options, a new engine and a radically different appearance. But the main revelation of the novelty is not in design, but in…

The level of customer loyalty of Korean automakers is one of the highest in the mass segment. Indeed, what should make a buyer buy an “empty” premium brand crossover if a larger and better equipped Santa Fe is available for the same money ... It's amazing how time can change our perception of reality. Three years ago, I was sitting in the Hyundai Motor Studio boutique, then located on Tverskaya right opposite the telegraph office, and listened to representatives of the Korean brand. They confidently said that Santa Fe is a premium crossover that will have to fight not only with the Mitsubishi Outlander and Nissan X-Trail, but also with the Volvo XC60. Then it caused a smile, and the price under $26 for the top versions was a surprise. And now, three years later...

What tricks did the Koreans use in the design of the novelty and why is it better to buy a crossover in the top version According to the laws of the mountains. Hyundai Creta test drive “Before, they just threw a hat - whoever throws it first is the first to pass,” explains the driver of an oncoming “tens” in Altai, who stands across the road with an open hood and does not allow us to pass. The car began to boil while climbing the old section of the Chuisky tract at the Chike-taman pass, which has not been serviced for a long time, but still attracts both tourists and locals. The main stream goes along an excellent paved highway a hundred meters away, and from time to time those who want to touch the historical path to Mongolia or appease the spirits of the road call here on a narrow dirt road.…

In February, sales of the Hyundai Solaris in a new body started. The car has four modifications. They are divided by engine capacity and power, gearbox type, fuel consumption. Three trim levels with heated seats, climate control and other electronics. Trims and prices of Hyundai Solaris Trim level is electronics that expand the functionality of the car. It creates comfort. Active trim level With the Active trim level, the car is equipped with airbags for the driver and passenger. They are built into the dashboard. The anti-lock braking system prevents the wheels from locking arbitrarily during braking. The car will not skid, as ABS isolates the wheel from the braking system. The system monitors the wheel rotation indicators. If there is a risk of wheel locking, ABS provokes a sharp release of pressure difference. It first holds back the brake fluid, then sharply…

The i10 is an impressive testament to the potential of Korean carmakers. It is no coincidence that this article begins with these seemingly big words. Because with the new Hyundai i10, the manufacturer's ambitions are not just promises, but real facts. The tireless evaluation criteria in comparative tests of the car's engine and sports are an extremely serious testament to how good a model is compared to its direct competitors on the market. In recent years, Hyundai and Kia cars have naturally shown increasingly better results in these comparisons, but it was the Hyundai i10 that became the model that not only showed good results, but also beat almost all of its rivals in the small city car class. Not most, but all! The i10 managed to surpass several points…

It's time to do a thorough comparison of the two most popular hybrids on the market. The world is an interesting place. The new Hyundai hybrid model, which managed to make a splash on the market, is actually a stylish and elegant car with an understated look, while the founder of this class, the Prius, in its fourth generation, looks more extravagant than ever. The aerodynamically optimized body of the Japanese model (the flow coefficient is 0,24) clearly tries in every possible way to demonstrate the individuality and efficiency of the Prius - which, in fact, allows it to distinguish it from other very similar hybrid models. Toyota such as Yaris, Auris or RAV4. Currently, the Ioniq is the only hybrid model of Hyundai, but it is available with three types of electrified drive - a standard hybrid, a plug-in…

Koreans have long since stopped attracting cheap buyers – but what about the Spaniards? Proud and confident as the giants of the luxury SUV class, practical and versatile as the mid-size vans: the Hyundai Santa Fe and Seat Tarraco offer the best of both worlds. We have been testing them for a long time, switching between them, and we will show you who has it best. Scene 150: Although we were told otherwise, the Seat Tarraco arrives for comparison testing with a 190hp TDI engine. The more powerful version with 2.2hp is not available on the test date. The choice of the Hyundai Santa Fe is equally limited, with the only diesel version with dual-clutch transmission and automatic gearbox equipped with a 200hp CRDi engine. So we no longer have to…

Hyundai Kona 1.0 T-GDI: Six-Point Test - Road Test by Pagella La Hyundai Kona is the latest arrival in the crowded small SUV segment (more and more requested by the public), but has all the necessary credentials to play with the sacred monsters of this category. The new Korean crossover can really boast a design that is certainly successful and interesting content (unlike some competitors, it is also available in all-wheel drive). We have already had the opportunity to test the Hyundai Kona 1.0 T-GDI (only front-wheel drive is offered) in a rich style setup. Therefore, in today's road test (relative to the less complete Xpossible version), we will analyze 5 reasons to buy an Asian SUV and 3 reasons to think about it better. Let's find out together the strengths and weaknesses of the…

The Korean concern does not attribute fully autonomous control to the new system Hyundai Motor Group has developed the world's first intelligent cruise control based on machine learning (SCC-ML). The transition from conventional cruise control (simply maintaining speed) to adaptive (maintaining an optimal distance with acceleration and deceleration) is certainly considered progress, but not everyone likes it. In the end, by turning on adaptive cruise control, you get a car that works as planned in the program. This is the key difference of SCC-ML - it controls the car as if it were driven by a specific driver in the proposed circumstances. The Koreans attribute full autopilot not to the new system, but to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), but they claim autonomous control of level 2,5. SCC-ML uses various sensors, a front camera ...
