Hyundai has established credibility and a burgeoning reputation by taking the big boys on head-to-head with less expensive examples of high-end machinery.

Buyers receive a sports coupe that not only looks sensational but has the performance to match.

Just last year, their new Genesis Sedan walked away with title to AJAC’s Luxury Car of the Year (under $50,000). This year, Hyundai has Infiniti’s G37 Coupe squarely in its sights as it launches its latest missile, the Genesis Coupe.

Genesis Coupe – sharing the “Genesis” name but little else
Although it may reflect similar developmental principles, the Genesis Coupe is not simply a two-door version of the Genesis Sedan. It’s a “ground up” sports coupe that delivers a healthy dose of exotic looks and raw performance.

At the heart of the matter is either, a turbocharged, 210 horsepower 2.0-litre 4-cylinder mill or a powerful, 306 horsepower 3.8-litre V6. Perhaps even more important than the quantity of pistons is Hyundai’s decision to send the power aft, as in the rear wheels.

An angry I-4
My tester depended on the four-cylinder affair to put power to the pavement. Along with its wealth of economical horses, the smaller of the two Genesis engines produces a stout 223 pound-feet of torque @ only 2,000 rpm.

Any relatively small 4-banger that produces such output must have an angry side, and that’s exactly what the DOHC unit in use by Hyundai has. Its anger is both felt and heard as it thrusts the coupe forward with liveliness that both surprises and obliges.

Hyundai ascribes a 0-100kph time of 8.3 seconds to the Genesis Coupe 2.0T but if anything, it feels faster. According to Hyundai, the V6-powered version comes in at only 6.3 seconds for the same run.

Fuel consumption with the smaller engine is attractive at 10.1 and 6.6L/100km (man. trans.) city and highway driving respectively.

Inspired by Nature.

Influences are all around us. We absorb them, then we create.

What can be more compelling than taking your design cue from the orchid?

Refined and elegant, the pure contours and effortless grace of this most precious of creations were the natural inspiration for the Hyundai Sonata. With its gently undulating silhouette and distinctive, sweeping character lines, this is automotive design distilled down to fluid, innate beauty. And as with all successful design concepts, nothing is superfluous. Looking, touching, driving, you know you're in the presence of something unique.

The Crossover, Realized.

Hyundai's definitive crossover utility vehicle.

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.

Leading, not following.

Hyundai's stylish, all-new crossover utility 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.

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

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.
