The first kilometers behind the wheel of a new model with a 1,4-liter turbo engine The new edition of the Hyundai I30 is a great example of how consistent the Koreans are in the constant improvement of their cars. First impressions. Let's start with a well-maintained 1.6-liter diesel. Then comes the temperamental and characteristic-sounding three-cylinder petrol unit. Finally, we come to the most interesting - a brand new 1,4-liter gasoline turbo engine with 140 hp. 242 Nm at 1500 rpm promise decent dynamics. However, the four-cylinder engine showed its power a little later. Traction becomes truly confident only after passing 2200 rpm, when all the temperament of a modern direct injection engine is revealed. The manual transmission allows easy and precise shifting, so pressing the shift lever relatively often is a pleasure. 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.

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.…

The system monitors wheel rotation. If there is a threat of blocking the wheel, ABS provokes a sharp release of pressure drop. It first holds back the brake fluid, then sharply ...

The I10 is an impressive testament to the potential of Korean automakers. It is no coincidence that the real material begins with these seemingly high-sounding words. Because with the new i10 Hyundai, the manufacturer's ambitions are not just promises, but real facts. The relentless scoring criteria in motor-sport comparison tests are extremely strong evidence of how good a model is compared to its direct competitors on the market. In recent years, Hyundai and Kia cars have naturally been getting better and better in these comparisons, but it was the Hyundai i10 that was the model that not only performed well, but also beat almost all of its rivals in the small city car class. Not most, but all! I10 managed to outperform…

It's time for a thorough comparison of the two most popular hybrids on the market. The world is an interesting place. Hyundai's new hybrid model, which managed to make a splash in the market, is actually a stylish and elegant car with a discreet look, and the founder of this class, the Prius, in its fourth generation, looks more extravagant than ever. The aerodynamically optimized bodywork of the Japanese model (0,24 Wrap Factor) is clearly trying to showcase the Prius's individuality and economy in every possible way - which, in fact, distinguishes it from other very similar hybrid models. Toyota like Yaris, Auris or RAV4. The Ioniq is currently Hyundai's only hybrid model, but it's available with three types of electrified drive – standard hybrid, plug-in…

Koreans have not attracted cheap buyers for a long time - but what are the Spaniards doing? Proud and confident like the giants of high-end SUVs, practical and versatile like the midsize vans: the Hyundai Santa Fe and Seat Tarraco offer the best of both worlds. We have been testing them for a long time, switching from one to another, and we will show who is better. Scene 150: Although we were told otherwise, the Seat Tarraco arrives for comparative testing with a 190 hp TDI engine. More powerful version with 2.2 hp not available at the date of testing. Equally limited is the choice of the Hyundai Santa Fe, whose only diesel version with dual transmission and automatic transmission is equipped with a 200 CRDi engine with XNUMX hp.

Let's find out together I strengths and defects from ...

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