2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring
Who knew that when Hyundai brought out its all-new Elantra compact sedan to the U.S. market for 2007, it was planning to follow two years later with a sporty wagon version? Well, they call it a “5-door,” but it is a wagon—which is okay since relatively small, functional wagons, as alternativ...

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T
The cars in every major racing series are rear-wheel drive. And so is the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T. Similar to a rear-wheel-drive racecar, the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T is quick, responsive and fast. The standard engine is a 210-horsepower, turbocharged, four-cylinder that ma...

2009 Hyundai Sonata
Korean automaker Hyundai has spent a decade working hard to change its image from cheap to quality, and from entry level to upscale automobiles people aspire to own. It has been doing this the best way a car company can: by significantly improving every vehicle in its line and introducing f...

2009 Hyundai Genesis
Names can make a difference when a new car model emerges. Genesis, the model designation for Hyundai's new premium flagship sedan, suggests a new beginning—or at least a new direction. Not only does the Genesis use a rear-wheel-drive layout, rather than front-drive like all other Hyunda...

2008 Hyundai Azera
When Hyundai introduced the Azera as a 2006 model, it wasn't the first upscale sedan sent to U.S. dealerships by the South Korean automaker. That distinction goes to the XG series, first seen as the XG300 in 2001, then given more power as the XG350 a year later. Both models sought to give Hyundai...

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe
First unveiled for the 2001 model year, the Santa Fe was Hyundai's first sport-utility vehicle. By the time it was redesigned and enlarged for 2007, such car-based SUVs were being called "crossovers." Meanwhile, a smaller Tucson had debuted in 2005. Reaching a step further, early in 2007,...

2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS
There's an old adage that claims: "The third time's the charm." Those words do a pretty fair job of describing the new 2001 Hyundai Elantra. A host of major improvements on the third-generation Elantra have moved this Korean-built front-drive sedan significantly higher on the overall de...

2001 Hyundai XG300
Known here since 1986 for economy-oriented automobiles, Hyundai has raised the bar this season with its XG300. Positioned above the midsize Sonata sedan—which was itself redesigned for 2000—the South Korean auto company's new "flagship" is the largest and most luxuriously appointe...

2002 Hyundai Accent GS
Econo-boxing has come a long way from its humble beginnings. While burled walnut, supple leather and mega-watt sound systems are still not in the cards, going a few rounds with many of today's budget-oriented transport modules has become a far more bearable and—in many instances—a reas...

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
When buyers purchased the first Korean cars imported to the U.S., during the 1980s, they assumed the build quality would be about as good as the established Japanese brands, but at a bargain price. Most were unpleasantly surprised to find they were not...
2003 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6
Here's what you mainly need to know about the Hyundai Sonata: Good car, great value, affordable price, and best warranty on the market. Go to the Hyundai web site, www.hyundaiusa.com, click onto the warranty section, and right there at the bottom of the explanation of the warranty coverage...
2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6
Introduced for the 1997 model year, Hyundai's Tiburon has struggled ever since to establish a market presence to match its elevated visual profile. With the all-new 2003 iteration, this front-drive 2+2 coupe may finally come into its own. For openers, the package has been improved in jus...

2004 Hyundai XG350
Like Kia, its sister company, Hyundai emphasizes the value of its products compared to the competition. Both South Korean automakers offer a range of sedans, from mini-dimensioned to midsize. Adding the upscale midsize XG300 sedan for 2000 gave Hyundai a model with some extra amenities...

2004 Kia Amanti
As it enters its second decade in the U.S., Korean automaker Kia can look back with pride on the remarkable strides it's made during that period. Having recently notched its 1,000,000th sale here, the firm plans to further broaden its market appeal in '04 by expanding its 5-vehicle lineup wi...

2005 Hyundai Tucson
Sales of big SUVs might be sinking as fuel prices rise, but smaller models appear to be doing fine at dealerships. Hyundai launched its first sport-utility vehicle, the compact Santa Fe, back in the 2001 model year. Now, for 2005, the South Korean automaker has added the smaller Tucson SUV t...
2005 Mazda MAZDA3
Just about every manufacturer offers a low-cost, entry-level car, but how that's defined is what makes the difference. Companies like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, for instance, have a markedly different idea of "economical" than Toyota or Hyundai. And then there's Mazda, a company that hasn...

2006 Hyundai Azera
For a boxer, moving up in class is tricky business. How do you add what's necessary to compete in a new class—size and power—without losing the things—quickness and agility—that got you where you are? Ultimately, you don't know how you're going to do, until you go toe-to-toe with the compe...
2006 Hyundai Sonata
Ever since its emergence into the U.S. market with the 1986 Excel, Hyundai has focused on value. Quality problems with those early models tarnished the South Korean automaker's image, but in recent years Hyundai has been among the most-improved makes...
