2009 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Review

Designed to de-stress you.

Before the SUV came the wagon. Its basic purpose: to carry more cargo than a sedan while using similar amounts of space and natural resources. The SUV gained popularity in the '90s because it satisfied a desire for increased room and ruggedness, and offered the all-weather security of four-wheel drive.

The Santa Fe stands for style.

We presented our interior designers with a formidable challenge: to complement the Santa Fe's upscale exterior styling with an equally impressive interior. They started by making every effort to ensure the generous technological content was easy to use, then chose materials, colors and textures you'd expect in a luxury brand. Their overarching goal: that every Santa Fe owner experience a refined and well-equipped vehicle.

To think outside the box, we first threw away the box.

Designed and engineered at Hyundai's Frankfurt design centre, the Tucson's European origins are evident in its aggressive, stable stance. The styling of its sculpted hood, wrap-around headlights and rear roof spoiler further set it apart from every other CUV on the road.

Hyundai's stylish, all-new crossover utility vehicle.

The Tucson is the CUV that does it all. A great alternative to a minivan or an SUV, it's the right size for daily use around the city, with space for five people and enough cargo room for a long weekend away. And if that weekend trip leads you down a few slippery or snowy roads, you'll love Tucson's available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) that delivers a 50/50 torque split to the front and rear wheels for maximum traction.

Advertise your I.Q., not your income.

Completely redesigned from the ground up, the new Elantra makes room for your next generation and more with added cabin space, a bigger trunk and a longer wheelbase for greater passenger comfort. It promises stepped-up performance with greater power, more sophisticated styling, improved handling and enhanced fuel economy. The Elantra has upgraded to a 1.6CVVT gasoline engine and added safety features such as ESP, front side and curtain airbags and active headrests. Elantra opens the door to new possibilities.

It is, dare we say, luxurious.

A statement which might sound immodest, until you browse the Hyundai Elantra's many standard features: power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, dual power heated side mirrors, tilt steering wheel and driver seat with 6-way adjustment.

Curb appeal makes it attractive, but roominess, affordability and MPG make it irresistible.

When you're looking for a new small car, you want the best you can get for the money. With that in mind, it's tough to do better than the Accent Sedan.

Hides its practicality well.

The Accent 4-door is a stylish car that stands out from its boxier, clunkier competitors. A sculpted hood, aerodynamic body, and chrome accented grille, complement the bodycolor door handles, side mirrors and bodyside details, to make sure this car stands out in any parking lot.
