Hyundai Genesis Ready by 2008

aunch coincides with 40^th anniversary

The all new, up-market Hyundai Genesis (or endearingly still referred to by Hyundai as BH) is set for a 29 December release party, coinciding with Hyundai's 40^th anniversary. Of course, the luxury sedan will be released on home soil first before its world conquest commences.

To commemorate Hyundai's 40 years of growth, they will use a new official emblem for the year which will grace all advertising, product as well as corporate and in showrooms and sales / marketing events. The logo is made up of two brush strokes, combining elements of the past and future into one silhouette.

The Hyundai Genesis will be powered by a newly developed DOHC 32-valve V8 engine producing well over 300hp, should be able to hit 60mph within 6 seconds and is rear wheel driven. The Genesis is entering new territories for Hyundai, territories where BMW, Mercedes, Lexus and Infiniti are well represented.

Hyundai Celebrating 40th Anniversary

• Dec. 29th will mark forty years of growth

On December 29 this year, Hyundai Motor Co. will celebrate the fortieth anniversary of its foundation and to mark this major milestone, the company is releasing an official emblem.

Executed with two simple but elegant calligraphic brush strokes which combine elements of the past and the future into the dynamic silhouette of car, the emblem symbolizes 40 years of growth and progress in the automotive business.

Hyundai Genesis Spied Uncovered

Since its concept debut at the New York Auto Show this past April, numerous spy photos of the new rear-wheel-drive 3.8-liter V8 sedan known internally as BH, have been taken during its development. But these latest detailed shots found on South Korean hi-fi stereo forum site, Wassada.com, show it completely in the buff. Aside from some interesting design details on the exterior, one particular detail which was speculated but unconfirmed, until now, is the BMW 5 Series iDrive like controller in the center console just below the gear lever.

Hyundai has already announced a release party for the upmarket Genesis on December 29^th, coinciding with their 40^th Anniversary, and then making its public debut just two weeks later at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. With pricing expected to come in well below $30,000 USD, the Genesis is sure to turn a lot of heads.

Hyundai's 7-Series? i70 prototype spied

Spy photographers have been chasing down Hyundai's new full-size executive sedan since it debuted as the Concept Genesis at the New York Auto Show in spring of 2007. To be launched in 2008, the Hyundai Genesis will be Hyundai's first rear-wheel-drive V8 model and it is set to replace the front-wheel-drive Hyundai Equus. It was thought the Genesis would be the top-of-the-range E-segment model, however, these latest spy images show an unknown, bigger F-segment luxury sedan testing next to the Hyundai Genesis prototype amongst other benchmark vehicles from Lexus and Cadillac. Sources state the more prestigious luxury sedan will be available on all major markets throughout the world and equipped with a user interface similar to BMW's iDrive system as well as V6 and V8 engines producing 250 bhp to over 350 bhp. The unnamed luxury saloon is expected to debut in 2009.

Hyundai Concept Genesis

Hyundai will present the world debut of Concept Genesis during a press conference at the New York International Auto Show on April 4. The concept car heralds the future architecture and design of a rear-wheel drive premium sports sedan scheduled to grace the Hyundai lineup in 2008.

"Concept Genesis extends our product range into new territories from a performance, design and packaging perspective," said Steve Wilhite, chief operating officer, Hyundai Motor America. "When it arrives in 2008 it will catapult Hyundai into competition against some potent rivals, and Genesis is up for the challenge."

Concept Genesis rides on a prototype of Hyundai's all-new rear-wheel drive platform, signaling the brand's desire to broaden its appeal to discerning driving enthusiasts. Concept Genesis is powered by Hyundai's newly developed Tau DOHC 32-valve V-8 powertrain. Concept Genesis marks the beginning of premium performance for the Hyundai brand.

"Concept Genesis is a manifestation of Hyundai's extraordinary desire to deliver world-class products across all model segments," said John Krafcik, vice president, Product Development and Strategic Planning, Hyundai Motor America. "With Genesis, we've got a unique product position -- an all-new, highly capable, rear-wheel drive platform; a high-performance powertrain; and premium, progressive design - all at a price starting well under $30,000."

NEW REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE ARCHITECTURE IS A FIRST FOR THE U.S.

Concept Genesis features a rear-wheel-drive architecture, its first application in a U.S. Hyundai model. Rear-wheel drive provides a 53:47 front/rear weight distribution for optimal handling as well as more refined steering characteristics. Concept Genesis' premium handling and steering performance is further controlled by Electronic Stability Control (ESC), the industry's most important new safety technology. Hyundai leads all popular car brands in the standard application of ESC, with more than 70 percent of 2007 Hyundai sales volume featuring this life-saving technology as standard equipment. ESC continually analyzes road speed, steering input, throttle position, lateral yaw rate and other factors. An onboard microprocessor determines if the vehicle is starting to understeer or oversteer, and can brake appropriate wheels and reduce engine power to keep the vehicle safely on course.

Utilizing ultra high-tensile steel in critical areas in the unibody provides Concept Genesis with a 12-14 percent higher dynamic torsional rigidity and a lower body-in-white weight than the BMW 5-series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. This stiffer, lighter, larger body provides a terrific foundation for world-class dynamics and lowering noise levels inside the vehicle.

TAU V-8 POWERTRAIN

Adding to the Concept Genesis' performance factor is the all-new Tau 4.6-liter V8 engine mated to a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC® manual control and a limited-slip differential. The Tau delivers well over 300 horsepower to fit the demands of performance-oriented consumers. This powertrain combination will launch Genesis to 60 miles per hour in well under six seconds. The Tau engine is built with flexibility for the future. Future Tau variants may offer larger displacement, forced induction options and other technology enhancements.

INNOVATIVE AND SOPHISTICATED SPORT-TUNED SUSPENSION

Genesis features a suspension design that is among the most sophisticated and refined anywhere, at any price. The front five-link suspension features upper and lower arms linking the front wheels to the chassis. This artfully articulated arrangement creates a virtual king pin axis which dramatically reduces unwanted kickback through the steering wheel as well as improving responsiveness. The five-link independent rear suspension is equally sophisticated, enabling precise suspension geometry for an incredible level of ride and handling prowess. The capabilities of the advanced front and rear-suspension are maximized through driver selectable dynamic settings allowing tailored ride and handling characteristics according to need or desire.

MODERN DESIGN

Genesis' design is a progressive interpretation of the modern rear-wheel drive sports sedan. To match its dynamic powertrain capabilities, Genesis combines strong, sculpted forms which integrate precise details, natural materials and innovative lighting to provide a well-crafted, premium design aesthetic.

SAFETY FEATURES

Maintaining Hyundai's emphasis on delivering leading safety technology, Concept Genesis boasts world class active and passive safety features to both prevent accidents, and maximize the well being of its occupants in the event of a collision. The Genesis continues the Hyundai tradition of standardizing key life-saving active safety technology such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with traction control, eight airbags and active headrests.

Concept Genesis is brought to a halt by large four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Brake Assist and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). The 12.6-inch front rotors have single-piston floating calipers and the rear brakes feature 12.4-inch rotors with single-pistons.

2008 Hyundai i10: Atos Successor

A fortnight after an inside leak gave us our first look at the all-new i10, Hyundai released details of the next installment in its all-new range of ‘i’ cars – the i10 which will replace the current Atos model (called Amica in some markets) . Based on the same platform as the 2008 Kia Picanto, Hyundai’s new affordable mini car measures 3,565mm in length (140.3-in.) and 1,595mm in width (62.8-in.) while it features a wheelbase of 2,380mm (93.7-in.)

Design-wise, the i10 is as intriguing as a brick stone with headlamps and wheels. Same goes for the interior which looks cheaper than the one found in Kia’s 2008 Picanto. On the other hand, according to Hyundai, all i10s will be well equipped with even entry-level models featuring four airbags with a passenger side cut-off switch, air-condition, four opening windows with electric operation at the front, central locking, electric power steering, tinted glass, 14-inch wheels, body coloured bumpers and an integrated six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo on the standard equipment list.

Initially, the i10 models will be offered only with a 67 PS, 1.1-litre petrol engine mated to either a manual or an optional automatic gearbox. In both cases, the gearshift is mounted on the centre console in order to improve ergonomics and free up the space between the driver and the passenger seat.

The first i10s are set to arrive in European Hyundai dealerships in March 2008 with prices in tax-happy , staring below £6,500 ($13,400 or €9,300).

Hyundai i30

It has been less than a week since Hyundai started work on a new Czech-based production facility which will produce the new i30 family of C-segment cars. Now for the first time Hyundai has revealed the new i30 Estate - the follow on from the recently launched i30 5 door estate.

Styled at Hyundai's European Design Centre in Frankfurt, this ensured the i30 Estate is perfectly in tune with European tastes.

Compared to the hatchback, the estate is longer by 230mm, taller by 50mm and has a longer wheelbase (up 90mm) significantly enhancing its load carrying capacity and practicality.

From launch, the Estate will be available with 1.6 litre 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.

Hyundai i10 Unveiled in India

Hyundai Motor India Ltd., India's fastest growing auto manufacturer and largest passenger car exporter, today launched the i10 at a glittering launch function in New Delhi. The i10 is the first Hyundai to makes its world debut in India which will serve as the sole production and export hub for the car.

Seoul-based Hyundai Motor Co. established HMI in 1996 as a fully-owned subsidiary and launched its first car - the Santro which became a runaway success in 1998. The company today makes a full range of cars starting with Santro Xing to the Tucson SUV and Sonata Embera top-end premium luxury car. From the very outset Hyundai has distinguished itself in the Indian market by bringing the latest in technology and design wrapped in a value-for- money package.

Looks, performance, features, safety and economy which customers are sure to find very attractive. The i10 comes with a 2 year, unlimited warranty package. The i10 will be sold in four trim options – the D–Lite, Era, Magna and the Auto. The Magna will also be available in a high-end option pack. The i10 is certain to re-define the segment and set a new benchmark for cars in its class.

Hyundai i30 CW wagon Unveiled at Frankfurt

Design Philosophy

The i30 CW follows a new wagon design philosophy. It was built to inspire a new generation of customers who are looking for a vehicle that offers the practicality of a conventional wagon but an added measure of flexibility and style. Instead of adhering to the conventional wagon body type, Hyundai chose to integrate MPV crossover elements. The result is a more emotional vehicle that combines the multi-functional convenience of a van with the elegant sophistication of an estate wagon.

Elegant and cultivated style

Like the i30 hatchback, the i30 CW expresses Hyundai’s new European design language. On the outside, Hyundai has kept the distinguished frontal styling of its sibling, with its sporty but non-aggressive appearance. The pronounced dual intake flows smoothly into the bonnet and A pillar lines. The clearly defined unbroken waistline unifies the classic proportions.

A more cultivated design language

The effect is an exciting, yet elegant shape, giving a dynamic impression of performance and capability. The upswept tailgate and the rear lights create a distinctive athletic posture. All elements of the design contribute a powerful sense of proportion and purpose.

i-deal interior

Inside the i30 CW, Hyundai fully focused on class-leading comfort, functionality and practicality, all in the same elegant style that is displayed on the outside. Dynamic refinement has been applied to every aspect, including air management, the light airy ambience, seating comfort and intuitive ergonomics.

Blue instrument lighting

The blue backlit instrument panel, already adopted in the i30 hatchback, the Hyundai Coupe, the new Santa Fe and upper range Hyundai’s, is a distinctive feature. The advantages of the blue backlit gauges are less eyestrain and fatigue under all ambient light conditions, helping to maintain peak driver alertness and vision. The blue backlighting is a signature feature of the Hyundai brand giving occupants a reassuring reminder that they are traveling safely.

The Clarity of the instruments

The clean, crisp layout of the instruments, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, supportive sporty seats and optimal gearshift positioning are all evidence of the desire to create an emotional family car that abounds in driving pleasure. For extra clarity, blue LED backlighting technology has been applied for the center information panel, gauge cluster and warning lights. Generously-sized directional air vents ensure optimum air flow throughout the cabin. Two-tone interior trim, with special attention to the upholstery fabrics and materials has produced an elegant and fresh, highly “European” interior environment.

The ergonomics of dynamic refinement

Inspiring customers is at the heart of Hyundai’s vehicle philosophy. Hence, the i30 CW features an intelligent, high-quality interior. Intuitive ergonomics are evident in all of the minor controls. The convenience of the steering wheel audio/communication switches and column stalks, together with the easy–to- operate switches for heating, air conditioning and power windows and mirrors amply demonstrate this. The easy access to the integrated audio system, map pockets and other stowage and storage areas are another Hyundai strength that characterizes the i30 CW. Even the positioning and precise feel of the automatic gearshift has been further optimized.

The ideal integrated interior

The i30 CW’s dimensions at 4,475 mm long, 1,775 mm wide and 1,520 mm high, fully meet current C segment wagon expectations. In addition, the long wheelbase of 2,700 mm brings the benefits of interior spaciousness. The extra space results in increased freedom of movement, optimal seat and instrument positioning, and increased comfort. Both front and rear head and legroom are well above the accepted average.

In the rear, the i30 CW offers fully contoured supportive seats, increased legroom over most rivals and excellent cabin air management. For the front seat occupants, height adjustable seats and lumbar support could not be more easily placed or operated. With excellent legroom, drivers can enjoy the ride in a very comfortable setting.

Space intelligence

In addition to its generous occupant space, the i30 CW also features 415 liters load volume with the rear seats upright. With the rear seats folded flat, the load volume is increased to 1,395 liters.

Equipment

Hyundai is recognized for its generosity of equipment at all trim levels, and the i30 CW continues this tradition. The range of standard equipment, combined with a full selection of affordable extras, allows i30 CW customers to fully tailor their car to their wishes.

A wide Selection

The i30 CW will be available in four different trim levels. Even the entry level “Classic” trim offers an abundant array of features, an integrated Audio system (Radio+CD+MP3+USB+AUX), driver seat height adjuster, front power windows and active headrest. The more upscale “Comfort” offers electric heated and body-colored outside mirrors, keyless entry, driver seat lumbar support, and front fog lamps. The sportier “Style” version is available with 16” alloy wheels, 205/55 R16 tires, tire pressure monitor, semi-leather seats and manual air conditioning all standard. The top-of-the-range version “Premium” lives up to expectations by offering all of the above plus automatic air conditioning, ESP, ECM mirror, park distance control, cruise control and a rain sensor. ESP of course is available for all versions and all trims as an option, while for the most European markets ESP will be standard feature.

Storage, stowage and convenience

As in any Hyundai, the utility and convenience in the i30 CW has not been overlooked. Depending on trim levels, a sunglass holder, a cup holder, a central console storage, easy to reach door map pockets, seat rear pockets and central armrest mounted storage, and rear cup holders are additional convenient features. The capacious glove compartment is also cooled when air conditioning is fitted. In the rear a standard luggage cover and an optional restraining net enable optimal stowage. The i30 CW also features a wide range of convenience features including i-pod plug-ins, center armrests (Rear), seatback tables, cargo security screen, roof rack and cargo nets.

Engines and Transmissions

A choice of two petrol and three diesel power options, combined with manual or automatic transmission, means the i30 CW can meet virtually every powertrain preference.

The clear power of inspiration

At the entry-level, the all-new all-aluminum Gamma 1.6 liter engine gives 115/122 hp and 154 Nm torque, while the range topping 2.0 liter Beta II offers 143 hp with 186 Nm torque. All petrol engines have 16v CVVT and variable inlet technology.

In terms of diesel, a new 1.6 liter CRDi is available in 90 hp / 235 Nm torque and 115 hp / 255 Nm torque versions. At the top end, the 2.0 liter CRDi puts out an exhilarating 140 hp with 304 Nm torque. All feature variable geometry turbo charging (VGT), low friction balance shaft technology and high-pressure common rail diesel injection for minimized engine originated NVH. To meet stringent new environmental regulations, all i30 CW diesels are fitted with DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter).

Real driving satisfaction

Performance means more than just engine output. That is why transmission packages have been optimized for real driving satisfaction.

For adventurous driving spirit, an elegant, yet stylish step gate shift lever has been adopted, allowing extra precise control of the new i30 CW’s automatic transmission.

The new i30 CW’s manual gearbox also boasts newly developed high-efficiency features that reduce noise and enhance durability. The 5-speed all-synchro transmission of the i30 CW has been specifically engineered to match the sporting nature of the car with precise, short throw shifts. The 2.0 diesel features a new 6-speed manual transmission. A 4-speed automatic transmission is available in both the 1.6 and 2.0 gasoline engines, and the 1.6 diesel (high power) engine.

Dynamic & cultivated driving experience

In any of the five available launch engines versions, the Hyundai i30 CW offers a dynamic, yet cultivated driving experience. MacPherson strut front suspensions and multi-link rear suspension have been fitted to perfectly complement the high design rigidity. Ventilated 15 inch front and solid 14-inch rear discs* with 4-channel ABS and ESP* mean the dynamic appearance is matched to real on-road handling control. A range of 15, 16 inch steel and 15, 16 and 17 inch alloy wheels, with low and ultra-low profile tires add visual impact to the sporting dynamics. The result is a car that simply demands to be driven.

Safety Aspects

Like with every other Hyundai, safety was a top development goal for Hyundai’s i30 series. Hence, the i30 CW has optional electronic stability program (ESP) and standard brake-support systems (ABS) as active safety features.

Passive Safety

In terms of passive safety, it features dual front, side, and curtain airbags, active headrests, seatbelt pretensioning and seatbelt reminders. Also, as with every Hyundai vehicle, the passive safety features are fully grounded in a state-of-the-art safety structure. This includes deformable zones, occupant protection cell and 3-way load distribution technology. Further rigidity has been achieved with reinforced A pillars, strengthened bulkhead, front and side members, and toughened B and C pillars.

The i30 CW is also equipped with many peace-of-mind features. Front active headrests are standard with Comfort level and upwards while electro chromatic self-dipping mirrors reduce night driving eyestrain. The heated power exterior mirrors fold electrically to prevent breakage in tight situations and the rear mounted park distance control with audible warning are standard on the Premium trim and optionally available in the Comfort and Style trim.

ABS / ESP

Four-channel ABS is standard and de-selectable ESP is optional (standard on Premium) on the i30 CW for advanced active safety.

Hyundai i20 Spied

Hyundai Atos successor

The Hyundai Getz is reaching the end of its life-cycle and Hyundai is working hard to replace it with this Hyundai i20 by the summer of 2008. We caught up with the new i20 in the Southern European mountains, and although we only snapped pictures of a five-door prototype we do expect a 3-door version to follow in early 2009.

The Hyundai i20 will be positioned below the brand new i30 which debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show and is destined to take on the VW Polo. Power is expected to come from a variety of petrol engines ranging between 70 and 110 bhp and turbodiesel engines ranging between 88 and 110 bhp.

Hyundai i10 Spied

Hyundai is preparing the replacement for the Atos which has been on the market since 1997 namely the i10. The prototype shown in these photos is still under disguise however although we can see glimpses of the all new styling.

The i10 will offer a choice of three engines, a 1.1 litre fuel engine/65 HP, a 1.1 litre diesel/75 HP , and lateron a 1,2 litre fuel engine delivering 80 HP is going to join in.

The i10 will be facing a huge battle in what has become a very competitve market with the introduction of the new Fiat 500, and the impending arrival of the new Ford Fiesta.

Hyundai Atos-replacing i10 Caught Unawares

Further to our spy photos of the car published only last week, the Hyundai Atos replacement, to be rebranded the i10, has surfaced again, this time wearing little more than a dirty bronze paint job - completely free of any camouflage standing in what must be a Hyundai development centre.

The leak, published by CarScoop, reveals for the first time the styling of Hyundai's new five-door city / sub-compact car, which replaces the aging 10-year-old Atos. Branded as the Amica in the UK market and rebadged as a Dodge in the US, the i10 will face competition from examples such as the city cars jointly-developed between PSA Peugeot Citroen and Toyota with their C1, 107 and Aygo models.

Boasting plastic front bumpers that stretch up to badgeline and stylish wrap-around front lights, the i10 appears remarkably dissimilar to its C-segment sibling, the recently-introduced i30. Non-body coloured panels continue along the sides of the car, with black plastic handles present on the doors and strips traversing the side.

A choice of three engines is expected on the new line-up, featuring two petrol units and one diesel. A 65 hp 1.1-litre petrol and a 75 hp diesel unit of the same capacity will be first on the market with an 80 hp 1.2-litre petrol engine following later on.

Bloggers at CarScoop suggest that the new i10 will go on sale early next year and be produced in Hyundai's Indian plant at Chennai. Stay tuned for official photos and details.
