Hyundai Grand i10 Range Rejuvenated

Hyundai has rejuvenated its Grand i10 range in South Africa with new features and added a new entry derivative to give this popular entry-level model a fresh appeal in the local automotive market.

The Grand i10 hatchback, which is the smallest new car on Group 1 Hyundai’s showroom floor, has taken over the role of the entry-level model after the i10 was discontinued.

“We had a relook at the Grand i10 range, change the specification levels and added a new entry derivative with a 1-litre engine and the Motion specification level. The end result is a hatchback model with a variety of derivatives that offer exceptional value,” says Stanley Anderson, sales and operations director of Hyundai Automotive South Africa.

“There is a choice in the Grand i10 range for many different buyers – from the young first-time owner or student who wants an affordable car, to the buyer of a second family car with generous luxury features or someone who want to downscale to a smaller, yet comfortable vehicle later in life.”

The Grand i10 is remarkably spacious inside, yet small in overall diameters, and is filled with standard features that have made it an entry-level top-seller in the Hyundai arsenal in South Africa.

The revised line-up of this smallest hatchback in the Hyundai range consists of six derivatives –three powered by the new 1-litre 3-cylinder engine delivering 48 kW at 5 500 r/min and 94 Nm maximum torque at 3 500 r/min.; and the other three using the 1.25-litre 4-cylinder engine which delivers 64 kW at 6 000 r/min. and 120 Nm maximum torque at 4 000 r/min.

The 1-litre derivatives are the 1.0 Grand i10 Motion (5-speed manual); 1.0 Grand i10 Motion (4-speed auto); and the 1.0 Grand i10 Fluid, also with the 5-speed automatic gearbox.

The derivatives with the more powerful engine are the the flagship 1.25 Grand i10 Fluid (5-speed manual) and 1.25 Grand i10 Fluid (4-speed auto).

A passenger airbag has now been added in all the derivatives to the driver’s airbag, and steering wheel remote controls, including buttons for the Bluetooth connectivity for cell-phones and an integrated microphone also forms part of the upgraded features across the range.

The Grand i10 Fluid derivative boasts standard convenience features such as electrically heated side mirrors that can also fold in at the touch of a button, and an “infotainment” centre with a large full-colour touch-screen where, among a variety of features, one’s telephone Bluetooth pairing can be done.

Customers also have the option to buy an SD memory card for R2 500 to activate the navigation system on the infotainment system in the derivatives with the Fluid specification level.

With a 2-year/30 000 km service plan thrown in as part of the standard package of the Fluid derivative, the Grand i10 presents great value.

Design and styling

Influenced by Hyundai Motor Company’s design philosophy, “fluidic sculpture”, the Hyundai Grand i10 features sleek and substantial lines that make the hatchback look dynamic and somewhat larger than its actual dimensions.

The body shell of the Grand i10 yields one of the roomiest occupant cabins on the market, as well as an impressive 256 litres of trunk capacity. Up to 1 202 litres become available when the rear seats are folded – also one of the best in its class. New levels of craftsmanship can be found in the spacious interior, together with levels of comfort and safety equipment commonly only found in segments above.

The sleek exterior design of the Grand i10 ensures a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0,35, which is aided by detailed improvements such as windscreen sealing that does not protrude into the airstream. The aerodynamic shape reduces wind noise as well as fuel consumption, contributing to very low noise levels.

The Grand i10 incorporates the hexagonal grille, the signature front end for Hyundai Motor’s cars, which clearly showing its family DNA and providing a link to its larger siblings. Grand i10 Fluid derivative boast a chrome grille in front, as well as alloy wheels. The Motion derivatives are equipped with steel wheels with an attractive cover.

Colour-coded door handles and side mirrors, with turn indicators built into them, combine with the attractive alloy wheels (in the Fluid specification level) to create a very good-looking small hatchback.

At the rear, a combination lamp with a spoiler and built-in LED lamp gives the Grand i10 attractive looks seen from behind.

Interior styling and trim for the Motion and Fluid derivatives black cloth.

The Grand i10 is available in 8 exterior colours, including Star Dust, Phantom Black and Polar White to a lovely Flame Orange, Fiery Red and Wine Red. Marina Blue and Sleek Silver complete the choice of colours.

A long list of standard features
Among the many features of the revised Grand i10 are luxury items such as the infotainment centre with Bluetooth connectivity to the sound system, keyless entry and electrically heated and folding side mirrors for the Fluid derivative; and for all the derivatives USB and AUX ports for the sound system; an air conditioner and central locking for all the derivatives.

All derivatives are also equipped with front fog lamps, a full-size spare wheel, attractive 14-inch alloy wheels, height adjustment for the driver’s seat, and remote controls for the sound system and driver’s information on the steering wheel.

Under the front passenger seat is a handy storage tray, while the driver’s seat belt’s shoulder mounting point is height-adjustable. Front, as well as rear passengers, have height-adjustable headrests.

A handy trip computer displays inter alia fuel consumption and range left with the fuel in the tank.

Spirited Kappa engine delivers excellent fuel economy
The Grand i10’s 1,25-litre engine belongs to Hyundai Motor’s popular “Kappa” engine family and incorporates a range of advanced technical features that raise power and torque and enhance smoothness and driveability.

Outstanding features of the Kappa’s modern architecture include: A dual overhead camshaft (DOHC), dual continuously variable valve timing (CVVT), a very stiff cast aluminium block with cast-iron liners, aluminium cylinder head, light connecting rods and maintenance-free long-life timing chain.

The 1 248 cc engine delivers 64 kW peak power at 6 000 r/min., and reaches its maximum torque delivery of 120 Nm at 4 000 r/min. The power is delivered in a spirited fashion and the small, yet perky engine never gives the impression that it is labouring.

Fuel consumption can be as low as a measured 5,9 litres/100 km, and 6,9 litres/100 km for the 1.25-litre derivatives with the four-speed automatic gearbox.

The fuel-consumption of the 1-litre engine is 5,4 litres/100 km for the manual gearbox derivatives and 5,9 litres/100 km for the automatic version.

Suspension and road manners
The McPherson strut front suspension of the Grand i10 and it’s electric motor-assisted steering system provides accurate positioning on the road and good handling characteristics.

At the rear, a coupled torsion beam suspension ensures comfortable driving with a stable and firm grip on the road. Improvements to the trailing arm geometry and rear coil springs of the rear suspension have contributed to the secure handling and comfortable ride of the Grand i10.

The body shell of the Grand i10 has exceptional torsional rigidity, due to the use of high-tensile steel that forms 29% of the body structure of the car.

The firm underpinnings not only improve the car’s impact-resistance but also yield low levels of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). The Grand i10’s noise levels are recorded as low as 38 decibels (dB) at idle and 65 dB at highway speed.

Dual airbags – one for the front passenger and the other for the driver – and an Advances Brake System (ABS) takes care of safety in the Grand i10, and are now standard safety features in all derivatives.

Pricing
At a price range from R191 900 to R256 900 – with Hyundai’s 5 year/150 000 km manufacturers’ warranty, additional 2 years/50 000 km powertrain warranty, and 5-year/150 000 km roadside assistance thrown in – the Grand i10 offers exceptional value.

The Grand i10 range with their standard recommended retail prices is:

Grand i10 1.0 Motion manual R191 900

Grand i10 1.0 Motion automatic R216 900

Grand i10 1.0 Fluid manual R216 900

Grand i10 1.25 Fluid manual R230 900

Grand i10 1.25 Fluid automatic R256 900

Hyundai Venue: Hyundai’s Compact SUV

2019 was quite the year in the compact SUV market for 1.0-litre turbocharged engines, the Ford Kuga (which has been here for quite a while already) was joined by VW’s T-Cross and the Hyundai Venue.

Hyundai launched the Venue in South Africa early in December 2019 for the African, Indian and Middle-Eastern market. We hadn’t heard much about the vehicle before besides the reveal at New York International Auto Show, and that was that. No campaigns promising of what to look forward to or bits ‘n bobs of info teased. Well, except for that episode where Hyundai SA caused enough chatter with one well-parked trailer.

We were fortunate enough to have key people from South Korean HQ at the event, giving us insight as into what Hyundai plans to do next. The plan is to welcome new trends and customer demands, which will see their product shifting towards smarter-mobility innovations, shifting their business model from a mobility brand to a smart-mobility brand. Enough about brand Hyundai though, let’s get into what we came for, the Venue.

It’s Not Pronounced With A Fancy Accent

You pronounce it like you think you do, Venue, there’s no fancy French accent to accompany it. This is part of Hyundai’s new global strategy, one global name for one model. The name is a reflection on the realisation of achievement; a venue can be a special place, the car’s ability to take you to that place, and seeing the potential in an action.
What Is It?

We already have the Kona and the Creta, so where does the Venue fit into the mix? The Kona is the baby of the group; less compact SUV more hatch on stilts with bigger bumpers. The Creta is sold in India, South Africa and a few other markets, slotting in there above the Kona. The Venue fits in below both of these as a true compact SUV.

Built in Chennai, India and made for the global market, this entry-level A-segment (according to Hyundai) offers a taste of urban adventure to those who need to consider their budget. Styling cues are on-trend – boxy shape, raised ride height, LED rear light clusters, and the two-tone roof and body combo on the top-spec Glide. The Motion gets 15-inch steelies, while the Fluid and Glide get 16-inch alloys wheels.

Winner One Litre

Powered by the 1.0-litre TGDI three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that we’ve sampled previously in the Kona, producing 88 kW and 172 Nm of torque. While the Venue is the last compact SUV to launch locally it has something in its favour; manual or auto gearbox options across the entry-level Motion and mid-spec Fluid. This engine in the Kona was a winner; in the Venue, we have no immediate qualms.

At launch, the 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission) shifted seamlessly, well ratioed between the gears, you can catch it out by anchoring your foot into the throttle, lag will occur as it takes a second or two to catch-up to your immediate wants. Though that is being unfair, it’s not designed to be a high-performance SUV, it’s built for Adventuring-Lite, where you want to go on the dirt road but don’t want anything technical or involving opposing wheels in the air. Pick of the gearboxes in my opinion is the six-speed manual. Not relying on set gear ratios, as per the DCT, means you can wrangle the most out of the Venue; or the least, depending on your driving needs.

Claimed fuel consumption is 6.5 l/100 km on the manual and 6. 9 l/100 km on the DCT. The Venue competed in the 2019 WesBank Fuel Economy Tour before its official launch, returning an average fuel consumption of 5.8 l/100 km over the five day, 2 500 km event. And having been on the event myself, I can say that 5.8 l/100 is a realistic and achievable number.

Safety In Numbers

Standard across the Venue range at Group 1 Hyundai is anti-lock braking, electronic stability control and electronic brakeforce distribution, all of which keep you on the road in a time of need. The entry-level Motion only gets driver and passenger airbags, while the Fluid and Glide get six airbags. All the models get Hill Start Assist and a multifunction steering wheel.

The interior is what Hyundai has become known for in the last few years, essential technology, mid-to-premium finishes (depending on spec line) and no feeling of being ripped off when you look around. The Fluid and Glide lines get a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise control function, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, the screen doubles as a reverse camera display. The glove box with cooling function and something not many compact SUVs possess – rear seats have dedicated air vents.

As first impressions go it’s not going to have the gilt-paved path ahead, pricing will be a challenge against the competitors. The EcoSport is cheaper but, it’s old and dynamically challenged. The T-Cross is a smidgen cheaper and suffers awful lag from the DSG gearbox. The Venue does what it says on the box without the need to tick the options list and I like that, what you see is what you get.

Hyundai Venue Pricing

• Venue 1.0 Motion (manual) R 291 500
• Venue 1.0 Motion (DCT) R 325 500
• Venue 1.0 Fluid (manual) R 330 900
• Venue 1.0 Fluid (DCT) R 335 500
• Venue 1.0 Glide (DCT) R393 500

Included in the prices are Hyundai’s groundbreaking 7-year / 200 000 km warranty, 7-year / 150 000 km roadside assistance, and a 3-year / 45 000 km service plan. Service intervals are at 15 000 km, or annually when applicable.

Hyundai i20: 2020 Interior Examined

 The Korean automaker, Hyundai, has now revealed a more high-tech ambience compared to the previous-generation Hyundai i20 model.

As with most new cars nowadays, the dashboard is dominated by two large digital screens. There’s a 10.25-inch instrument cluster behind the steering wheel and a 10.25-inch center touchscreen positioned atop the center console.

The digital instrument panel changes colour based on the selected drive mode: blue for Normal, green for Eco, and orange for Sport. Further to the right, the AVN (audio/video/navigation) touchscreen integrates a range of new connectivity features never before seen in the Hyundai  i20, including Hyundai Bluelink Telematics.

Hyundai LIVE services are among these and include real-time traffic and weather data, information about nearby fuel stations (including fuel prices) and parking spaces, and online voice recognition. Other Bluelink services offered by the new i20 include Find My Car, remote lock services, navigation to local points of interest, vehicle alarm information, and maintenance reports.

The infotainment system is fully compatible with Android Auto and Apple Car Play, the latter available wirelessly in combination with the 8-inch Display Audio. A wireless charging pad and eight-speaker Bose sound system are available as well.

Design-wise, the all-new Hyundai i20’s cabin is available, at Group 1 Hyundai, with three different interior trims: Black, Mono and Black & Grey. Ambient lighting technology is also present and the air vents are connected with horizontal blades stretching across the whole dashboard. We can also spot a new multifunction steering wheel very similar to the one in the new Sonata and door cards “inspired by shapes found in nature.”

The all-new Hyundai i20 had  its official debut on March 3 at the Geneva Motor Show.

All the important details about the 2020 Hyundai Creta

 

New Hyundai Creta will be the carmaker's second introduction in India in 2020, following the launch of Hyundai Aura later this month.

Hyundai Motor India will unveil the new Creta at the Auto Expo 2020. Launched in India in July 2015, the vehicle is currently in its first generation. Hyundai Creta is one of the most popular mid-size SUVs around, if not the most popular. Although recent introductions like Kia Seltos and MG Hector have been giving it stiff competition, the Creta has continued to hold its ground and churn out decent sales numbers.

The second-generation Hyundai Creta has been spied testing on several occasions in India. It is based on the China-spec Hyundai ix25, which itself looks quite sporty. Below are all the important details that you should know about the 2020 Hyundai Creta.

2020 Hyundai Creta Launch

The 2020 Creta will be reportedly launched in mid-March. It will be Hyundai Motor India's second introduction of the year after the Aura, which will make its way into the country on January 21.

2020 Hyundai Creta Price

The current Hyundai Creta is priced very competitively. Hyundai Motor India might keep the second-generation Creta in the same price range. Even if the price shoots up, it won't be much. If the second-gen Creta should come to South Africa - Group 1 Hyundai is sure to be among the first with new pricing.

2020 Hyundai Creta Features

The 2020 Hyundai Creta has received several modifications to its exteriors. While the overall silhouette is still quite sporty, the new Creta is bigger in terms of dimensions. The new cascading grille, flanked by LED headlamps and LED DRLs, gives the mid-size SUV a pretty bold look. There are changes to the rear with new taillamps. The tailgate has been redesigned as well. Also, the alloys are completely new. The cabin will get some premium features like 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a panoramic sunroof. You can expect Hyundai's BlueLink connectivity technology to be available in the new Creta.

2020 Hyundai Creta Engine

The next-generation Hyundai Creta will come with the engine options that are available with Kia Seltos. At present, the Seltos has three BS6-compliant powertrain choices. There is a 1.5-litre petrol engine that makes 115 PS and 144 Nm of torque. A 1.5-litre VGT diesel mill produces 115 PS and 250 Nm of torque. There is a 1.4-litre Turbo GDI petrol motor delivering 140 PS and 242 Nm of torque. All the three engines come with a standard 6-speed manual gearbox. Besides, there are automatic transmission options like IVT (1.5-litre petrol), 6-speed AT (1.5-litre VGT diesel) and 7-speed DCT (1.4-litre Turbo GDI petrol).

2019 Hyundai Tucson Review

Hyundai’s crossover lineup is now one of the biggest in the industry with new entries, like the Kona, Palisade and even the upcoming Venue. While Hyundai has been adding to its crossover stable, that doesn’t mean that it’s ignored some of its heavyweights that helped get it where it is today. The Hyundai Tucson for sale has continued to rival popular compact crossovers, like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 for years and now it’s better than ever thanks to a mid-cycle refresh.

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson not only gets some styling updates, but it’s now available with more tech features. On the outside the biggest update you’ll notice is a new version of Hyundai’s Cascading grille, which gives it a slightly more grown up look than before. Other smaller changes include new lighting at the front and rear and fresh alloy wheel designs. Overall the 2019 Tucson has a more classic, sculpted look that the latest RAV4, although it’s not super exciting to look at.

Inside the biggest change is the redesigned center console that gets a new 8-inch touchscreen. The rest of the interior largely carries over, but it didn’t really need that much updating, since it’s covered in high quality materials. The Tucson’s interior feels more luxurious than you might expect, especially if you opt for the Ultimate trim level, which adds leather seats, wireless charging for your cell phone and even a heated steering wheel.

On the safety front the Tucson comes standard with several driver assistance features, like Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and a Driver Attention Warning system. Upper trim levels get additional features, like Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, a Surround View Monitor and adaptive cruise control.

Moving down the road, the Tucson’s interior is quiet and comfortable. Your friends will easily enjoy any seat in the house. Keeping them entertained won’t be hard either since the Tucson also features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

While the Tucson will be a great companion for a weekend road trip, its cargo area comes up a bit short compared to the CR-V and RAV4. With the rear seat up there’s 31 cubic feet of space for your stuff, compared to 39.2 cubic feet in the CR-V and 37.6 in the RAV4. With the rear seats folded the Tucson has 61.9 cubic feet of space, but the CR-V easily beats it at 75.8 and the RAV4 at 69.8 cubic feet.

Buyers have a choice of two engines a 2.0L four-cylinder with 161 horsepower and 150 lb-ft. Of torque or a 2.4L four-cylinder with 181-hp and 175 lb-ft. Sadly the turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder is no longer available. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive is optional.

Both the CR-V and RAV4 pack more horsepower under the hood. Around town the 2.4L does an adequate job of moving the Tucson down the road, but there isn’t much “sport” there to keep you excited. On the freeway it’s evident that the Tucson could use a bit more power.

If fuel economy is your thing, you’ll also probably be a bit disappointed with the Tucson’s MPG specs. The most efficient version with front-wheel drive and the 2.0L engine gets 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, while all-wheel drive lowers those specs to 22/25 mpg. The 2.4L with front-wheel drive is rated at 22/28 mpg and the all-wheel drive version is rated at 21/26 mpg.
To compare the most efficient version of the CR-V is rated at 28/34 mpg and the RAV4 gets up to 26/35 mpg.

The 2019 Tucson is offered in SE, Value, SEL, Sport, Limited, Night and Ultimate trim levels.

While its mid-cycle facelift does bring some welcome additions to the 2019 Tucson lineup, these older Tucson models at Group 1 Hyundai are fantastic too.

Discussed: Hyundai Maintenance & Servicing

Known for good prices, Hyundai is fast becoming a top brand for quality and reliability, too.

.

According to YouGov, Hyundai ranks as the 13th most famous carmaker, particularly favoured by millennials, and is known for its affordability and reliability. But no matter how dependable a vehicle is, there will still be repair and maintenance costs. 

.

Every new Hyundai comes with a factory warranty, which provides basic coverage for a limited number of years. But if you’re looking for further coverage and continuous peace of mind, there are many extended warranties that offer prolonged protection.

.

When deciding on a contract like an extended warranty, it’s smart to compare brands and get quotes from several companies.

.

General Hyundai Maintenance

Hyundai Service Centers suggests all owners carry out each service at the recommended intervals. These services can be administered by factory-trained and certified Hyundai technicians at Group 1 Hyundai, who strictly observe all factory requirements.

.

For all vehicles with a 2000 model year or newer, Hyundai provides a recommended maintenance schedule, which is based on the vehicle’s style, engine, total mileage, and other factors.

.

For the most part, Hyundai owner manuals require service intervals every 10 000km.

.

General Hyundai service and maintenance includes the following: 

.

• Engine oil and oil filter changes
• Tire rotations
• In-cabin air filter replacement
• Multi-point inspection, for brake pads and engine air filter
• Wiper and tire pressure check
• Fluid leak check
• Visual inspection of suspension and chassis components

.

Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance

Even with comparatively low maintenance costs, Hyundai makes it even easier to care for your vehicle with its complimentary maintenance plan. Part of the Hyundai Assurance program, the plan covers factory scheduled maintenance for up to 3 years/60 000km, whichever comes first.

.

Each complimentary maintenance service includes engine oil and oil filter changes, tire rotations, multi-point inspections, and several other services.

.

How Long Do Hyundai Vehicles Last?

In addition to its consistently high ranking in reliability by CarMD, Hyundai is also listed as the 13th most dependable brand by J.D. Power.

.

Combined with the manufacturer’s warranty and maintenance plan, it’s clear Hyundai is doing all it can to ensure its vehicles last a long time. The brand is further noted to be one of the rising car brands for both cost and quality, according to U.S. News & World Report.

.

How Do Extended Warranties Help With Costs?

All car warranties serve one overall purpose: to give the owner peace of mind. If you plan to keep your Hyundai beyond the original factory warranty coverage, it’s highly recommended to consider purchasing an extended auto warranty plan.

.

These vehicle service contracts insure you against expenses incurred from the vehicle’s mechanical or system failures. While they’re not designed to cut down Hyundai maintenance costs, an extended warranty can be a lifesaver when it comes to expensive repair costs.

.

Aside from protecting most major components, extended warranties can be further tailored to your preferred amount of coverage, time and mileage, and other details. For example, you can easily opt to include coverage for high-tech equipment, which is common in most cars these days.

.

Most plans include additional services, such as 24/7 roadside assistance or reimbursement for a rental car in case yours is in the shop. Many extended warranty providers will also take care of all paperwork and payment associated with repairs.

.

With the right extended car warranty, most drivers find that the total coverage, extra service, and complete peace of mind are well worth the price.

2020 Hyundai Elantra Sedan With CVT and Extra Tech

Plus more changes to the Hyundai lineup

Hyundai's biggest stars for the 2020 model year are its three all-new models, the three-row Palisade, the city-friendly Venue, and the new-generation Sonata. While we've known what's coming on those vehicles for some time, we're only recently finding out what's changing for the rest of the lineup for the 2020 model year.

The big takeaway? More CVTs and tech features, less manual transmissions. For 2020 the Hyundai Accent and Elantra sedan lose the six-speed automatic in favor of Hyundai Group's first CVT (dubbed IVT) that first appeared on the Kia Forte and Soul. That transmission benefits fuel economy significantly, bumping up the Elantra's EPA ratings to 30/40 mpg city/highway (31/41 mpg in the SE trim). In addition to the new transmission, the 2020 Hyundai Accent also gets the new Smartstream 1.6-liter I-4, which has 120 hp and 113 lb-ft of torque. That's down 10 hp and 6 lb-ft but what you get in return is an impressive 33/41 mpg with the CVT (manual-equipped models are up to 29/39 mpg). Those wanting to row their own gears may want to get a 2019 Hyundai Elantra sedan because the six-speed manual goes away for 2020 even in the 201-hp Sport model. Thankfully, you can still get the Elantra GT N-Line with a stick since the hatchback carries over unchanged. For the 2020 Veloster, the manual gearbox is only available on three models, the base 2.0, R-Spec and N due to the Turbo Ultimate dropping the option.


Check out the Hyundai Elantra models available in South Africa on Group 1 Hyundai’s website.


On the SUV front, the 2020 Hyundai Kona and Santa Fe see the most updates. For the 2020 Kona, adaptive cruise control is now available on the range-topping Ultimate trim. The 4.2-inch instrument cluster display, wireless charger, and auto-dimming rearview mirror now come standard on the SEL Plus and higher. Kona Electric models get a 10.25-inch touchscreen on the Ultimate trim replacing the 8.0-inch unit (SEL and Limited grades get a 7.0- or 8.0-inch unit respectively). Trim levels have been streamlined to four on the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe with the Limited replacing the Ultimate as the range-topping, packed-to-the-brim model. If you'd like the extra standard features on the Limited, the SEL is also available with the Convenience and Premium packages. The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe also gets upgraded safety features on the SEL trim and higher; the blind spot monitoring system now has a collision avoidance function and rear cross-traffic alert integrates rear automatic emergency braking. The blind spot view monitor, which shows what's on your blind spot has been added to the Limited grade.


Although most changes are limited to specific models, we're expecting more to arrive once the auto show season kicks off in a few months. Earlier this year, the Hyundai Kona Hybrid landed in Europe with the same powertrain as the Ioniq. That model could also Next year, the 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid arrives with a new system and if it's like anything like the Korean-spec model that debuted alongside the standard car, it may sport a sunroof that doubles as a solar panel. For performance junkies, the Sonata will also get an N Line model with over 275 hp, and another full-fledged N SUV model has been rumored to follow the Veloster N in the very near future.

2020 Hyundai Santa Fe is a Well-rounded SUV

The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe fits into an interplanetary orbit between compact and midsize SUVs. Its size and more premium vibe are a little closer to the midsizers, while its standard engine and price tag are more comparable to the compacts. And for a lot of folks looking for an SUV in the $30,000 range, that should be a combination that makes a ton of sense. That it manages to look as good as it does inside and out should also be appealing to those who'd rather not drive something dull and drab that screams "family vehicle!"

So why should you think twice? It's actually a bit dull and drab to drive to be honest, and the more appealing turbo engine is exclusive to the priciest versions. It's also not the most rugged of family crossovers, with mediocre ground clearance and less functional roof racks.

What's new for 2020?

The Santa Fe was all-new last year. For 2020, trim levels have been reorganized. There's now SE, SEL and Limited, while the SEL gains Convenience, Premium and Infinity Premium Audio packages. The former range-topping Ultimate trim has been discontinued, but the Limited gains all of its equipment as well as its higher price. On the other end of the trim spectrum, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic warning are no longer available on the base SE. It's still standard on all other trims. Wireless charging is also now available as an option on the SEL trim as part of the Convenience package and Hyundai's excellent blind-view monitor is now included on the Limited.

What's the interior and in-car technology like?

Smooth, curving horizontal lines and surfaces grace the dashboard and doors, providing more of an organic appearance than you'll find in competitors like the Honda Passport or Ford Edge. Soft-touch surfaces are plentiful, as even the dash has a soft, squishy feel to it. The various buttons and knobs pleasingly move in a way that speaks to an underlying quality. Stepping up to Premium trim levels adds rich colours, leather and fake-but-classy-looking wood trim. There are a bunch of little cubbies and storage spaces in the centre console area and in the doors. The two cupholders up front aren't huge but will fit most regular drinks.

Technology is definitely a strong suit of the new Santa Fe's. Even the most basic SE trim has the 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on board. As is usual for Hyundai's infotainment systems, the Santa Fe's is quick and easy to use — the vehicles we drove didn't appear to have any functionality hiccups either. The base car also comes with four USB ports, so everybody can plug in. If you opt for a more expensive Santa Fe, you'll get premium features like a head-up display and wireless phone charger.

How big is it?

The 2020 Santa Fe is a bit larger than its Santa Fe Sport predecessor, and at 187.8 inches in length, its size places it in between compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V and midsize models like the Honda Passport (although it's ultimately closer to the midsizers). As such, it could be a "just right" size for certain SUV shoppers in terms of balancing interior space with fuel economy and how much space you want taken up in your garage.

Functionally, the Santa Fe's back seat is bigger than most, with legroom that's actually better than most compact and midsize SUVs. Every Santa Fe also has a 60/40-split back seat that folds and generously reclines but starting with the SEL Plus, it also slides to increase cargo volume or to bring kids a bit closer to mom and dad upfront. Although common in three-row SUVs, a sliding back seat is rare in two-row models.

Beyond that back seat, the Santa Fe has about the same cargo capacity (35.9 cubic feet with seats raised, 71.2 lowered) as larger "compact" models like the Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester. Really, no matter what you compare it to, the Santa Fe ends up looking pretty good. See in it’s full glory at Group 1 Hyundai and see why we love this SUV. It also benefits from a giant under-floor area that expands space further (pictured above, bottom left). When you're on a big family road trip, finding such bonus spaces can be the difference between bringing everything along and either leaving something at home or needing to affix a roof box.

What's the performance and fuel economy?

The 2020 Santa Fe has two engine options, both of which are more comparable to what you'd find in a compact SUV than a midsized one. They're also both equipped with an eight-speed automatic and can be paired to either front- or all-wheel drive.

Most trims will be equipped with Hyundai's 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder that makes 185 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. It returns 22 mpg city, 29 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined with FWD and 21/27/24 with AWD. This is very good for a midsize SUV, but then of course, it has far less power than usual.

If you want something more potent, go for a Santa Fe with the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four that produces 235 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Despite this higher output, its fuel economy remains quite good at 20/27/24 mpg with FWD and 20/26/22 with AWD.

What's it like to drive?

The Santa Fe is a perfectly competent and pleasant crossover to drive. Its handling isn't the sharpest, and there's a feeling of isolation from the road, but it demonstrates substantially better composure than the previous Santa Fe models. It no longer excessively rebounds over bumps, nor gets knocked out of whack by a mid-corner bump. Ride quality is also agreeable, as the suspension ably soaks up bumps.

Road and wind noise are kept low thanks to ample sound damping, but the 2.0-liter turbo engine has a low, gravelly type of sound. This is a shame, since the upgrade engine is otherwise impressively strong, smooth and not especially turbo-like in its power delivery. The eight-speed automatic is reasonably quick to respond, and putting the car in Sport mode improves these responses further. Its grade logic, or the ability to hold the correct gear when traveling up- or downhill, impresses as well. We also like the automatic stop/start system is difficult to detect. We have not had a chance to test a Santa Fe with the base engine.

What more can I read about the Santa Fe?

Our first driving impressions of the new Santa Fe, including more in-depth information about what's new for 2019, along with details about its design and engineering.

Our editors test the Santa Fe Ultimate trim level with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

What are its safety equipment and crash ratings?

Every 2020 Santa Fe comes with a wide array of standard safety features. Equipment includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automated high-beam control and a driver attention warning system. Standard starting on the SEL are blind-spot and rear cross-traffic warning, and a distinctive feature called "Safe Exit Assist," which is able to detect traffic coming from behind, then not allow the door to open into the traffic. The Limited trim comes standard with Hyundai's excellent camera-based blind-spot warning system.

We've found these systems to be well-executed. They aren't prone to false alarms, nor are they intimidating or difficult to use while piloting the car. That certainly isn't the case for every manufacturer out there.

In government crash testing, the Santa Fe received five out of five stars for overall and side crash protection. It got four stars for frontal and rollover protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it a Top Safety Pick for its best-possible crashworthiness and crash prevention scores. Its standard headlights got a "Marginal" score while its upgrade headlights got the best-possible "Good."

2019 Hyundai i20 equipment

Hyundai provided the Hyundai i20 for sale with more equipment and rejigged the premium hatchback's line-up in 2019.

The lowest variant is still the Era, though it got rear parking sensors and eco-coating tech for the AC unit as standard. The next variant – Magna Executive – was renamed the Magna+. While the Magna Executive used to be available with manual and CVT gearbox options (for the petrol-powered model) the Magna+ is available with a manual transmission only. Compared to the outgoing variant, the Magna+ adds Bluetooth and voice recognition to the audio system, has steering-mounted controls, keyless entry and has also added fog lamps with DRLs at the front.

The Korean brand combined the next two i20 variants for sale – Sportz and Asta – into one new trim, the Sportz+. The higher-spec variant has manual and CVT options (again: only for the petrol engine) and also got a dual-tone exterior finish as an extra. The Sportz+ MT got equipment such as 15-inch gunmetal alloys, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with MirrorLink, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), a reverse camera, front centre armrest, a USB charging port at the front and a tilt/telescopic adjustable steering. The Sportz+-CVT variant also got wireless charging while the dual-tone version has 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, adjustable rear headrests and an interior colour package.

The biggest difference on the top-spec Asta (O) trim is that it has manual and automatic gearbox options with the petrol variant. In terms of equipment, it shares all its kit with the Sportz+ Dual-Tone variant.

Besides making all variants of the i20 comply with the crash test norms, the 2019 i20 also helped Hyundai keep its premium hatchback competitive in the face of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno facelift and Tata’s production-spec 45X.

To view the available range of 2019 and older Hyundai i20 models - simply head over to Group 1 Hyundai’s website.

Hyundai’s New EX8 Mighty truck boosts commercial vehicle range in SA

Hyundai Automotive South Africa’s commercial vehicle range has received a healthy injection with the launch of the Mighty EX8 truck, boasting several new features and an industry-leading factory warranty that makes it a formidable contender in its market segment.

The new Mighty EX8 – a successor of the previous HD truck – stems from a long, proud and successful tradition of building competitive commercial vehicles with notable strengths in Korea, the rest of Asia and the Middle East. That focus is also moving to Africa, with the resulting expansion of Hyundai trucks to right-hand drive key markets of which South Africa is one.

The Mighty EX8, which is assembled at Hyundai Automotive SA’s commercial vehicle factory in Apex, Benoni, and distributed to amongst other Group 1 Hyundai, joins the ever-popular H100 (also referred to as our “Bakkie”) and the H1 panel van in Hyundai Automotive SA’s commercial vehicle range.

Studies are also underway with the aim of introducing various other new models, such as the larger H350 bus and panel van, as well as automatic transmissions for the medium truck.

“Hyundai’s addition of the EX8 truck to the local commercial range is the beginning of exciting new developments. It is supported by Hyundai Automotive South Africa’s commercial network that consists of 40 sales dealers and 37 servicing dealers spread throughout the country, as well as Botswana, Swaziland, Namibia and Zimbabwe. This ensures that our footprint covers all the major routes travelled by our customers,” says Wade Griffin, commercial vehicle director at Hyundai Automotive South Africa.

“It also comes at a time when we at Hyundai are very optimistic that a strong increase in sales of commercial vehicles is bound to happen over the next five years due to renewed hope in the change of political leadership, and the prospects for a return to a healthy GDP growth,” says Griffin.

Hyundai’s assembly plant on the East Rand in Gauteng started in 2014 and is now fully operational, assembling the EX8 and the H100 Bakkie. The plant has an land area of 32 000 m2 , with 19000 m2 under roof. The assembly plant is currently manned to produce over 400 units of the H100 and EX8 trucks per month.

Hyundai Automotive SA’s Commercial Vehicle Division has its own truck bodybuilder on-site in Benoni that produces several standard and customized options according to the customer’s specifications. This include van bodies; dropsides; tippers; tautliners; trailers; and H100 tipper conversions. The truck body builder also does all kinds of repair work for customers.

“Hyundai’s mission is to partner with customers to help them build their businesses by offering them good quality commercial vehicles that is suited for its specific purpose. We offer vehicles that are durable and reasonably priced, with generous warranties for peace of mind and low cost of ownership,” says Griffin.

“We also have what we call trained transport solution consultants who will make sure that we offer the right vehicle to get the best return for your business.”

It is against this background that the EX8 Mighty is introduced to the South African market, with the various options and new, practical features that the new truck offers.

More spacious cabin, better comfort and visibility
Compared to its predecessor, the EX8 Mighty’s interior space has been increased from 2,9 m² to 3,5 m², and there has also been an increase in storage space for driver and passengers to 11,8 litres.

Visibility from inside the cabin has been greatly improved by increasing the windshield size – an important feature, because better visibility ensures safer driving. The windshield height has increased by 20 mm, and width by 70 mm. Furthermor the dash has been lowered by 80 mm, allowing an increased visibility angle of 2,2 degrees.

Interior space has been enhanced by increasing the interior cabin height to 1 490 mm. The steering column now has forward-backward adjustment of 60 mm, as well as height adjustment of 76 mm – an altogether new feature that enables the driver to set the most comfortable and safest driving position.

The seat also slides back by a further 55 mm, with increased reclining setting for maximised comfort while driving.

The new, tall style headlamps cast a significantly longer (167m) and wider (8.4m) beam pattern, making night driving much safer.

Exterior changes also improves comfort
One of the distinct exterior features is the main rear-view mirror that is 10 mm taller, and a newly added sub-mirror below it which is convex-shaped to ensure a much wider field of vision, thus eliminating the blind spot in traffic.

Small, yet practical and sensible changes include the door handle that was changed from a vertical type handle to a horizontal “grip” type handle, and a door opening angle that increased from 68° to 80°, making access to the cab even easier.

The size of the side step for easy entry into the cabin has been increased for better footing. It now measures 350 mm x 103 mm, and the door now covers the step when closed.

Greater load-carrying capability
The longer wheelbase of the new EX8 has increased its versatility as a load carrier, and resulted in a longer deck (4 850 mm) that allows you to carry more freight and to do fewer trips.

The Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of the new EX8 is 7 800 kg versus 7 500 kg of Hyundai’s main competitors, which also means you can carry more with the EX8 Mighty.

Various load carrying options according to customers’ demands are avaible, including a tipper conversion, closed bodies for secure transport of goods, and the very practical dropside body that ensures easy loading and off-loading of goods.

More efficient engine conforms to Euro 3 standards
The D4DD 3 907 cc engine, which conforms to Euro 3 emission standards, has a common-rail diesel injection system that delivers greater efficiency, reliability and more power. It delivers maximum power of 103 kW at 2 800 r/min. Peak torque is 373 Nm, which is produced at a relatively low 1 600 r/min. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual synchromesh gearbox.

Hyundai has increased the service intervals for the EX8 Mighty from 10 000 km to 20 000 km, which reduces the service cost of the truck and results in less downtime for the operator.

“The durability and reliability of our drivetrains has also enabled us to launch the EX8 with an industry-leading factory warranty of 4 years, with unlimited mileage in this period. We also offer a 3 year / 200 000 km roadside assistance plan as part of the standard package,” says Griffin.

“Hyundai Automotive SA is also notified daily via a roadside breakdown report of any commercial vehicle towed in, which allows us to act swiftly to ensure that the dealer is giving our customer the utmost attention and with the necessary urgency to get the vehicle back on the road,” says Griffin.
“Our focus is on our customers and their business. We want our transport solution consultants to give you, the business owner, the correct solution and ensure that you have the right tool to do the job,” says Griffin.

“To summarize: We have a well-priced commercial vehicle that has:

• An industry-leading factory warranty of 4 years, with no limit to the mileage;
• An extra 300 kg GVM in comparison with its competitors;
• A parts basket that is 20% better priced than that of the nearest competitor; and
• Service intervals that have been increased to 20 000 km in order to reduce the cost of ownership.

“Taking all this into account, we believe that we have the right truck to partner with your business, and having reduced the cost of ownership results in better bottom line profits for your business.”

2020 Hyundai Accent adopts Smartstream engine, picks up 4 mpg combined

A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the base SE, but a CVT is available.




Hyundai's new Smartstream engine family promises some solid fuel economy gains. The first member of the family to make its debut came in the 2020 Hyundai Sonata, but Hyundai clearly wants this engine family in as many vehicles as possible, whether they're at the top or the bottom of the lineup.

Hyundai announced this week that the 2020 Hyundai Accent, its most affordable vehicle, has been given a bit of a freshening up. Namely, it's picked up Hyundai's 1.6-liter Smartstream I4 gas engine, which puts out 120 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque, reductions of 10 hp and 6 pound-feet compared to its previous engine. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, but a continuously variable transmission is also available.

The output might be down, but fuel economy is up. On the manual-transmission SE model, its combined fuel economy rises from 31 miles per gallon to 33, but the biggest benefit comes to CVT-equipped models, where combined economy jumps from 32 mpg to 36. Considering I saw 41 mpg or more on the highway with a manual in the 2018 model, I imagine this will be one seriously thrifty combination with the Smartstream.

Otherwise, it's business as usual for the Hyundai Accent. A 5-inch touchscreen is standard, but moving up a trim will add a 7-inch system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other solid creature comforts are tucked away in higher trims, too, like a hands-free trunk release, heated seats and automatic climate control.

The 2020 Accent remains the most affordable Hyundai on offer, at Group 1 Hyundai.

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson has a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from IIHS

In one of the industry's most stringent crash tests, the 2019 Hyundai Tucson for sale was been upgraded from a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK to a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award applies to Tucsons equipped with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and LED headlights built after March 2018.

Hyundai has 11 vehicles that have received the TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ Awards when equipped with optional front crash prevention and specific headlights. The other 2019 Hyundai models that have achieved these honours from the IIHS are Accent, Elantra (built after September 2018), Elantra GT, Ioniq Hybrid, Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid (built after July 2018), Kona, Santa Fe, Santa Fe XL, Sonata and Veloster (built after August 2018).


According to IIHS, models that earn TOP SAFETY PICK+ are the best vehicle choices for safety within their size categories. The 2019 criteria required:

• Good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests
• Advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention
• Good headlight rating

"We take safety very seriously at Hyundai. We are proud to hear that Tucson received an upgraded accolade from IIHS," said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. "Hyundai continues to prioritize making advanced safety features available and standard."


The new standard Hyundai SmartSense safety technologies (listed below) on the Tucson add additional protection for drivers and passengers. For example, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist utilizes radar to help detect another vehicle and warn the driver of a potential collision. If the driver does not react to avoid the impact, the system may apply emergency braking. Other standard safety features include High Beam Assist, Rain-sensing wipers, Surround View Monitor, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go.

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Lane Keep Assist
• Driver Attention Warning

Hyundai H100 - just perfect for your business

Appearances that count

You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. The Hyundai H100 is business-like but elegant and functional. Notice the wide windscreen, the large clear headlights and ClearType front fog and rear lights. They are all elegant enough for a car, as are the relaxed character lines which define the profile.

Wide view outside mirror

A useful and meaningful safety enhancement, especially when parking, wide-angle exterior mirrors provide a panoramic rearview.

Cargo space

Cargo space designed for work with a lower deck height of just 775mm and an unobstructed load area, the H100, from Group 1 Hyundai, makes fast and efficient work of loading and unloading cargo weights of up to 1000 kg. Latching side walls and a bolting tailgate add extra security and cargo protection.

Tool-box

The exterior mounted toolbox is available in three generous sizes to transport and protect your tools.

INTERIOR

An exceptionally efficient and functional comfort

It's no secret that a comfortable workplace improves efficiency, so it's no surprise that the H100 offers a new level of comfort. Extra seat and shoulder width for freedom of movement, a driver-oriented console and car-like instrument cluster put comfort and control at the driver’s fingertips. In additional convenience details such as the forward folding centre front seat, sunglasses and cup holders, together with a whole range of well thought out and organised storage facilities, all combine to provide an exceptionally efficient and functional comfort.

Adjustable driver’s seat

It slides and reclines to keep you comfortable and relaxed. Lumbar support is exclusive to higher grades.

Seatback console

When you fold the middle seat, you can find two cup holders and a tray. Further, the small box, behind the tray to open manually, is offered some space to hold maps and paperwork for a convenient journey.

Bottle storage & door map pocket

Documents, maps, or even light refreshments are easily stored and ready for use in the door-mounted storage pockets.

Room lamp & sunglass holder

Central interior lighting with a built-in holder for the driver’s sunglasses is just one more example of Hyundai’s attention to detail, quality and driver well being.

Glove box

A cool box in a light truck? With the H100 naturally, while the upper tray holds personal and business items conveniently ready to hand. The integrated cup holder is detachable for easy cleaning.

PERFORMANCE

The Hyundai H100 a quiet revolution in light trucks

The H100 engine is powerful enough to make light work of virtually any task or terrain, while surprisingly economical to operate. Compact enough to cope with limited spaces, but with a payload and crew capability usually confined to much larger vehicles.

A2 2.5 CRDi

Fuel type: Diesel
Displacement: 2,497 cc
Max. Power: 130ps / 3,800rpm
Max. Torque: 26.0kg·m / 1,500~3,500rpm

Entering its second generation, the new A2 2.5-litre diesel engine has been substantially refined to reduce vibration and achieve quieter operation. Delivering a top output of 130ps @ 3,800rpm and 26.0 kg·m of peak torque over the 1,500 to 3,500 rpm range, the A2 employs a Common Rail Direct injection system and an EGR cooler which re-circulates exhaust gases back to the engine to reduce nitrous oxide pollutants.

2.5L Diesel (Natural Aspiration)

Fuel type: DieselDisplacement: 2,607 ccMax. Power: 79ps / 4,000rpmMax. Torque: 17.0kg·m / 2,200rpm

Chassis

Tough 100 x 50 mm steel section chassis with double wishbone and torsion bar, front suspension and rear leaf springs, driven by a choice of 2.6 naturally aspirated or 2.5 turbo diesel engines, makes the H100 a supreme performer. Side impact bars, single moulding body panels and a variable cross-section cowl cross member are significant safety features.

Variability & flexibility

Short and long wheelbases with high and low platforms, allow the H100 to be perfectly configured to suit your business needs. Your Hyundai commercial vehicle dealer will be happy to advise and consult on all the possibilities

SAFETY

Locking Differential (LD)

When driving over soft, muddy or uneven road surfaces, you can suddenly lose traction and control of the vehicle. The Locking Differential ensures that you get maximum traction. It is automatically activated at speeds over 30kph and is more efficient than a Limited Slip Differential (LSD).

Brakes to depend on

At 15-inches, disc brakes are amply sized and they are ventilated for fade-free braking. A tandem 8+9 inch booster ensure that the stopping power of the H-100 matches the dynamic performance. A front-mounted antiroll bar provides additional reinforcement for confident, precise steering and handling.

Power window switch & auto door lock

Intuitively simple to operate, these are the switches for power windows and central locking. Fine design highlights even the smallest details.

CONVENIENCE

Stylish and practical

When we say that the H100 was designed to set new standards for light trucks we mean it. The list of features surpasses even some well-equipped private cars, and some have never, ever been available in this class before.

Sedan-inspired cluster

Instruments that are comprehensive, easy to read and fully in vision. High-quality information effortlessly and elegantly delivered is a hallmark of the H100.

Power & tilt steering

Precise power steering reduces driving effort, improving safety. The optional tilting steering wheel further personalises this benefit to the individual driver.

All-round ventilation

Centrally mounted with easy and efficient dial controls, keeps the driver and passenger fresh and alert. Air conditioning is also optionally available.

A lockable fuel filler cap

Protection for the fuel supply is provided by the security of a locking fuel filler flap.

Sidestep

Easy access speeds operations and cuts fatigue. In addition to optimally placed grab handles, the H100 offers this convenient sidestep.

Tailgate bolt

Secure loads are safe loads. The tailgate bolt serves to keep your cargo on the truck rather than the road.

Sidewall latch

Added side security for cargo retention comes in the form of these robust sidewall latches (Front).

Foldable stopper

Foldable long load retention pegs help keep ladders, pipes, wood and all other longer loads firmly in place.

Maintenance-free battery

A positive asset in all-operating conditions, adding worry-free durability to electrical dependability.

Up-front easy access inspection panel

The front panel (bonnet) is designed to open easily as a passenger car which provides exceptional maintenance or emergency access.
