Hyundai Veloster 2012

Veloster Hyundai vehicle is in sixth place on the initiative of the products 24 / 7 version 2.0 (seven new models in 24 months), on the heels of the new Sonata Tucson, Equus, Elantra and the soon-to-be given know accent.

Inspiration motorcycle.

Veloster unique design inspired by high-performance sport bike. Veloster has distinctive white columns, which give the glass a motorcycle helmet visor look. The front has an aggressive form of the hexagonal front grille Hyundai, hood scoops in detail, and only Hyundai-signature LED position lights. Option packages for Chrome grille surround, piano black highlights, fog lights, sunroof, and a massive overview.

On profile Veloster features "Fluidic Sculpture" character lines, muscular wheel arches, door handles and mirrors bodycolor, and the headlights and taillights envelop. Veloster comes standard with alloy wheels of 17 inches and offers two 18-inch wheels. The top of the line 18-inch wheel comes with painted inserts, a first segment.

Veloster dynamic rear hatch design distinctive glass two chrome exhaust tips and black lower fascia approach, which complements the front fascia sign.

The third door.

Veloster combines the style of a coupe and a sedan functionality, while incorporating an additional passenger-side door. In the past, some have used smaller cut rear-hinged access doors. These cuts have always been compromised by having to open the door before the rear driver's door can be opened, turns out to be embarrassing for the driver and passenger, and extremely difficult to handle in tight parking situations. Taking charge of Hyundai implements a conventional hinged door on the passenger side of the Veloster, providing safe and ready access to the seats with enough room in the back. The rear door handles hidden side to keep the design.

Gamma 1.6 GDI engine.

The new Gamma 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is the smallest Hyundai to use the gasoline direct injection (GDI). GDI technology can offer fuel economy of 40 mpg estimated highway, low emissions and higher reliability.

"The technology of gasoline direct injection may be Hyundai engineers to create an engine that is powerful, fuel consumption and lower emissions," said Hyundai America Technical Center Inc. (Hatch) powertrain director John Juriga. "Despite its small size, produces some great numbers, as well as impressive power output and up to 40 mpg on the highway."

Using the GDI, the range 1.6-liter delivers an estimated peak power of 138 horsepower at 6300 rpm and 123 Nm of torque at 4850 rpm. But GDI is only a part of history as the new range is continuously variable valve timing, electronic speed control, timing roller chain, variable induction and friction reducing coatings such as innovative deposit CrN physical vapor (PVD) coating and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating.

Hyundai Tucson 2012

These improvements are attributed to an ECO active again, low resistance tires rolling silica, air conditioning high efficiency and a group of larger fuel capacity.

The entry-level Tucson GL is equipped with a high performance 2.0-liter Theta II four-cylinder that produces an estimated 165 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 146 lb-ft of torque at 4600 rpm. Estimated fuel economy for model Tucson GL FWD with available six-speed automatic transmission SHIFTRONIC ® is 23 mpg city/31 mpg highway. The FWD model five-speed manual gets an estimated 20 mpg highway mpg city/27. The 2.0-liter Theta II also offers dual continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) (phaser camshaft intake and exhaust).

The main features include the application of a variable intake system of two levels (VIS), which allows switching between the intake runners, resulting in long and short of a full pension increase performance. To reduce internal friction, engineers have applied a Diamond-Like-Coating (DLC) to the upper surface of the tappets resulting in better fuel efficiency. The engineers also spent much time and effort to optimize the oil pressure to reach an ideal balance between durability and fuel economy.

Tucson GLS and Limited, with headquarters in the Theta II 2.4-liter DOHC four-cylinder. The Theta II is estimated at 176 horsepower and 168 lb-ft of torque. This high-tech, all-aluminum engine has 16 valve CVVT on both camshafts and a VIS for the engine to breathe better. In the green states, the 2011 Tucson GLS and Limited are certified Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV) which means that they are as clean as many hybrid. Tucson GLS and Limited offer an impressive 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway rating estimated by the fuel economy with the six-speed automatic transmission with front wheel drive and SHIFTRONIC ®. Tucson GLS models now also have low rolling resistance (LRR) tires silica to contribute to outstanding fuel economy. With AWD, Tucson offers an estimated 21 mpg highway mpg city / 28 that competitors AWD versions.

Two transmissions are available.

Hyundai Tucson commitment to making more fuel efficient continues through the availability of two transmissions: an automatic gearbox with manual six-speed SHIFTRONIC ® and five-speed manual transmission.

Fun to drive.

In 2012, the athletic form of Tucson is complemented by agile handling and very responsive. Tucson uses MacPherson struts and multi-link rear suspension systems for more precise control of the wheels and a smoother ride. All four wheels are controlled by coil springs and shock absorbers fade-resistant gas charged. The front suspension has a hollow stabilizer bar 25 mm to save weight, while the rear suspension has a bar 18 mm solid stabilizer. Larger stabilizer bars to keep the vehicle flat during cornering and provide very rapid turnover in response. Steering rack and pinion power motor (PDM) also contributes to Tucson agile and refined driving dynamics, while saving fuel and reducing cabin noise. Finally, the GLS and Limited models now have an upgrade price to travel through sophisticated Sachs dampers.

Since the suspension geometry and wider track, which allows greater turn angles, turning circle is 34.7 meters of Tucson - Tucson Drivers will appreciate the advantage of their daily driving and parking. In fact, turning diameter Records Tucson Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

All the time.

To make it even more versatile Tucson, Hyundai engineers added an advanced electronic system designed by JTEKT AWD. The AWD system is automatically activated in any driving condition when necessary, equitable distribution of power and performance optimization of behavior. In normal driving, the system distributes power to the front wheels, reducing fuel consumption. The system includes a driver-selectable lock in a 50/50 torque distribution between front and rear wheels for AWD off-road conditions very slippery.

For even more driver control, the 2012 Hyundai Tucson has Hillstart Assist Control (HAC) and Downhill Brake Control (DBC). CDT is designed to minimize rolling backward on steep ascents. By selecting the DBC switch, the electronic control unit manages the sensors Hydro-wheel speed, steering angle sensor and acceleration sensor to maintain control and speed in a decrease in slope, without having to use the brake. None of these features are available on the CR-V, Rogue, RAV4 and Escape and are usually found in luxury SUV much higher prices.

If necessary, ESC brakes individual front or rear wheels and / or reduces engine power to help correct understeer or oversteer. The braking system features four disc brakes controlled by advanced four-channel ABS Brake Assist, providing maximum braking force to stop the panic is detected, and electronic brake force distribution (EBD) optimizes braking performance of the irregular distribution of weight.

The Tucson is designed to provide its passengers with multiple defensive layers of security. The steel unibody has integrated crumple zones and a high-strength front sub-frame designed to work together to reduce the forces that typically reach the passenger compartment. Particular attention is given to increase the rigidity of the front spar, which are enlarged and straightened. Serve as the central pillars of the anchor points of a new ring structure which improves the rigidity Page global structure while providing more space for the door armrests and the seat. All four doors also have internal guard beams to protect occupants in side impact.

The whole body was achieved by rigid and lighter in his extensive use of steel ultra-high tensile strength, including 68.9 percent of the shell. Moreover, the use of tailor-welded blanks (TWB) has expanded on the main structural elements. TWB assemblies combine steels of different thicknesses and qualities using an advanced laser welding and stamping process to achieve optimum rigidity on the weight. TWBs reduce weight while increasing crash energy management. These security systems have made Tucson the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick for 2010 and 2011 model years.

Test fleets.

Hyundai has invested a total of 40 billion won over a period of one year to create BlueOne, based on the small Hyundai i10 hatchback. The electric version of i10 was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009.

Hyundai plans to provide 30 vehicles that BlueOne test fleets for various government agencies in Korea in October. These vehicles are primarily used to help develop and test charging infrastructure for about two years until August 2012. In addition, these cars will be used for promotional purposes, starting with the next G20 Summit to enhance Korea's eco-image.

'BlueOne' The name is derived from the Hyundai Blue Drive strategy, which covers the company eco-friendly products and technologies. The word 'is' a symbol of the "land".

LiPoly Batteries innovative virtual sound.

BlueOne is a compact overall length of 3585 mm, width 1595 mm and an overall height of 1540 mm. And 'with highly efficient electric motor powered by an innovative 16.4 kWh LiPoly (Lithium Polymer) battery technology, which offers many advantages over other batteries. BlueOne boasts a maximum power of 81ps (61kW) and torque of 21.4kg / m (210 nM).

As a pure electric vehicles operate only with the battery and electric motor, the battery life and storage capacity determines the performance of the car. Hyundai chose LiPoly batteries, compared to previous nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), offers the same power with a weight of LiPoly 30 percent less by volume of less than 40 percent, increase efficiency and provide more interior space for passengers.

The car is designed to prevent overcharging and collision safety issues. Hyundai was also performed in hundreds of thousands of miles in front of endurance tests to ensure safety. BlueOne boasts a top speed of 130 is achieved km / h and 0-100 km / h in 13.1 seconds, better than some petrol models of the same class.

BlueOn also features a Virtual sound engine (NAV), which creates an artificial sound for pedestrian safety, such as electric vehicles make little or no sound when driving at low speed.

Recharge.

BlueOne can travel up to 140 miles on a single charge. It also allows Dual charging methods: AC 220V and 380V high power performance, which promises faster reload speed. Less than the household power grid, the battery is fully charged within six hours. With the method of fast charging, the battery can be recharged for about 80 percent of its capacity in 25 minutes. Hyundai is working with the Seoul Metropolitan Government and other government agencies to build load plants.

In addition, engine components electrified, so that the electric motor power steering, electric water pump and regenerative braking system could be adapted to BlueOne.

Base Sedan GL makes do without the standard stereo, but it is a 14-inch steel wheels, variable intermittent wipers, six-way adjustable driver's seat, 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks, rear window and defroster. A list of options is rather limited in the air conditioning, Bluetooth and floor mats.

2011 Hyundai Accent Sedan

GS adds an automatic transmission, air conditioning, body-color outside mirrors and door handles, rear window wiper / washer, tilt steering and a 172-watt, six-speaker stereo radio Satellite and USB / auxiliary input. Power accessories, keyless entry and alarm are all available in the Premium package.

The sporty Accent SE two-door hatchback adds 16-inch cast aluminum, the adjustment of the firmer suspension, lights, cruise control and leather steering wheel with audio controls. Accent GLS sedan list of standard features and options is very similar to that of the GS sedan.

Propulsion and Performance

Front-wheel-drive 2011 Hyundai Accent is equipped with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 110 hp and 106 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual is standard on all models except the GS, which can be a four-speed automatic, which is also available as an option for everyone, but the entry-level GL. Performance testing, a manual with Accent is increased from zero to 60 mph 9.4 seconds.

As for fuel economy estimates of Focus models equipped with the return of four-speed automatic EPA 27 mpg highway mpg and 30 mpg city/36 combined. Models with five-speed manual transmission is rated at 28 mpg highway mpg and 30 mpg city/34 combined.

2011 Hyundai Accent Sedan

Security

LL 2011 Hyundai Accents are equipped with front seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Anti-lock brakes are available for the GL, but is optional for the hatchback and sedan GS GLS. SE hatchback get anti-lock brakes as standard.

Accent is not the government tested a new, more demanding crash test procedure. The 2010 class (which is not comparable to other tests in 2011) was a perfect five stars for front-occupant protection and four stars for front occupants and side-impact protection and three stars the rear passengers in the event of side impact .

In tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the emphasis has been rated the second highest "acceptable" for frontal offset, but the worst of the "poor" rating in side impact tests. In braking tests, with an accent to ABS 60 mph in a respectable 122 feet without it, shooting 155 meters away.

2011 Hyundai Accent Sedan

Interior Design and Special Features

There is clear from the fact that the Focus interior design and materials look cheaper than less attractive than competitors like the Nissan Versa. The front seats are comfortable, however, and driver seat height adjustment standard is a nice touch. The lack of a tilt steering wheel in GL base model may make it harder for pilots to become familiar, however.

The rear seats offer enough legroom for adults of average size. Having said that, in and out of the saloon models place requires a little 'because scrambling to close between the front seats and door threshold. Boot volume is average for cars in this segment, with nearly 16 cubic feet of space for the sedan models, and more than 12 cubic feet in the trunk of the sedan.

Guide

As is the case with many small cars, the 2011 Hyundai Accent performance depends largely on what transmission you choose. The five-speed manual transmission makes the car feel reasonably peppy, while the four-speed automatic bogs it down. In addition, a sport suspension on the SE models offer better handling, while the softer suspension in GL, GS and GLS versions shows a smoother ride. Although one of the quietest interiors in this segment, the Accent engine noise often deny this advantage to gain momentum.

Interior Design and Special Features

For 2011 Hyundai Azera surrounds the occupants with a level of luxury that is typical for a car costing far more. Quality look and feel of faux wood and metallic finishes complement the majestic interior design that makes many soft-touch surfaces. Registration for the leather further improves the high-end accommodations. We would however note that this year we passed an Azera 2007 during a prolonged test, we noticed that the light of our test car seats beige were susceptible to wear and discoloration of the black leather may be desirable.

Azerbaijan's high seating position of the head may limit the space for the long drivers, but outside of the cabin is very spacious. The rear seats offer plenty of comfort for adult-sized lot of legroom and headroom for passengers, as well. All-around visibility is quite good thanks to a low roof pillars and thin cap. A very generous luggage capacity 16.6 cubic feet of cargo, and a wide opening and easier loading. When you need to take larger items, 60/40-split folding rear seat load capacity even further.

Guide

Despite the budget-friendly price, 2011 Hyundai Azera offers an impressive amount of refinement. Road and wind noise is minimal, allowing for quiet conversation, even at highway speeds, and acceleration is strong with the Limited V6.

Even if Azerbaijan can not have something that looks like a sport (even compared to the Buick LaCrosse), we are sure that most drivers will find this a great Hyundai more than adequate. The management has a soft side, but the car feels predictable and secure around turns, and steering feel is quite accurate.

The two rear seats that not only are both heated and cooled, but sit and have a massage function. The passenger side rear seat even has a footrest motorized, although we found in testing that does not expand enough for passengers with long legs.

The climate control is composed of levers and buttons remarkably simple. In a segment where cars can be hopelessly complex, Equus did a good job of keeping the large number of technologies to manage. Luggage space is a generous 16.7 cubic feet.

Driving Impressions

Silence. This is the most remarkable feature of the 2011 Hyundai Equus. In standby mode, it may seem as calm as a hybrid car with the engine off automatically. Once started, things will not be much higher, since the engine is just a whisper, wind noise is virtually nonexistent and only a little tire roar can be heard, because everything else is so quiet. Despite this environment of conduct quiet, well Equus is not a sleepy manipulation limousine. There is a certain flow to the visit in its normal mode of suspension, but hit the sport and the sedan is more buttoned down on bumps. Through corners, it will not follow sports sedans such as BMW 7 Series or Jaguar XJ, but Equus is fairly stable and predictable when pushed.

Although the power of Equus compete with the competition, you'll push a little 'less at low speeds, while driving in the city. This is most noticeable when you stop accelerating, as the Equus does not offer the same handful of immediate V8 sedans most other luxury flagship.

2011 Hyundai Accent Hatchback interior

Interior Design and Special Features

There is no work around the fact that Accent interior style is clear and inexpensive materials makes it look less attractive than competitors like the Nissan Versa. The front seats are comfortable, however, and the driver's seat height adjustment standard is a nice touch. The lack of a tilt steering on entry-level model GL may make it more difficult for some pilots to become familiar, however.

The rear seats offer enough legs for adults of average size. However, in and out of the seats in the hatchback model requires some interference due to limitations of space between the front seats and door sills. Carrying capacity is the average vehicle in this segment, with about 16 cubic feet of space in the sedan models and over 12 cubic feet in the trunk of the sedan.

Driving Impressions

Like many small cars, Hyundai Accent 2011 performance depends largely on the transmission choice. A five-speed manual makes the car feels reasonably peppy, while the four-speed automatic bogs down. Similarly, sport-tuned suspension SE models produces better handling, while the softer springs installed GL, GS and GLS versions emphasize more stable ride. Despite a quiet interior in this segment, the Accent engine noise is often nullify this advantage in acceleration.
