November 18, 2009 - The Hyundai Genesis Coupe was honored by winning Popular Mechanics 2010 Automotive Excellence Award in the "Fun to Drive" category. Genesis Coupe outperforms the competition with its incredible handling and true sports car enthusiast appeal.

According to Hyundai.com, the Genesis Coupe is Hyundai's most dynamic performance car ever and uses the same flexible rear-wheel drive architecture as the 2009 North American Car of the Year Genesis sedan to appeal to true driving enthusiasts. The Genesis Coupe offers a 2.0-liter intercooled four-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 210 horsepower, and a 3.8-liter V6 Track model with 306 horsepower and massive Brembo brakes.

The annual Automotive Excellence Awards recognized the top 10 cars, trucks and technologies that are most significant each year. In 2009, Popular Mechanics editors saw a trend in the return of American icons in addition to a fuel efficiency focus with a mix of new hybrids and compact cars.

Each year, to determine the winners of the Popular Mechanics Automotive Excellence Awards, editors drive more than 100 of the newest cars, trucks and sport-utility vehicles, amassing well over 100,000 miles in the process. Through their experiences on extended test drives around the world, instrumented comparison tests and longer-term evaluations, the auto team nominates a list of vehicles in each category. Those selections are put to a vote and the top recipients in each category win an Automotive Excellence Award. The auto team is led by Automotive Editor Ben Stewart, working with Senior Automotive Editor Mike Allen, Detroit Editor Larry Webster and Editor-in-Chief James Meigs.

Hyundai's Vice Chairman, Euisun Chung stated, "The Sonata will set a new standard for world class mid-size sedans with state-of-the-art technology, superior build quality and emotional design."

To meet the most stringent automotive safety and crash requirements, the Sonata is built with hot-stamped ultra high-strength steel while featuring six standard airbags.

Since 1985 the Sonata has been the best selling flagship vehicle for Hyundai in Korea and will continue to be a success in 2011. Hyundai plans to start production of the new Sonata at its Alabama plant early next year, with sales beginning in 2011.

September 25, 2009 - At the Frankfurt Auto Show in early September, Hyundai introduced the new ix35 concept SUV model which showcased a sleeker, more reformed profile vehicle instead of the boxier look currently on the road today. The ix35 features a roomier cabin, extra storage capacity and fuel economy leadership.

STYLE

The ix35's new "fluidic" design expresses sweeping, gently curved lines with a defining front hexagonal grille which will unite the future of the Hyundai line-up. To achieve the sporty image, the ix35 boasts of an aggressive belt line coupled with a low-to-the-ground feel which is enhanced with optional 225/55 R18 wheels and a rear spoiler which aids fuel efficiency.

The interior provides comfort with extra legroom/headroom and a spacious cabin enhanced by a dual-panel panoramic sunroof with UV blocking. Rear seats can also enjoy the sunroof.

OVERALL DIMENSIONS AND POWERTRAIN

The ix35 rides on a 2640mm wheelbase, is wider than its predecessors and contains a relocated USB/Aux jack for more room with overall cabin space increasing.

To further the appeal of the ix35, it will receive the newest fuel-efficient engine and six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. Powertrain will vary according to region.

THETA-II

Hyundai engineers have taken the World Engine, the largest gasoline engine program in the world, and created the lighter, more fuel efficient and cleaner-running Theta-II.

The 2.0-liter Theta-II has shed over 10kg from its previous iteration. For better fuel efficiency and reduced NOx emissions, Theta-II gets Dual CVVT (intake and exhaust camshaft phaser) while Theta-I is equipped with only intake CVVT. Major improvements begin with the application of a two-stage Variable Intake System (VIS) which enables switching between long and short intake manifold resulting in an across-the-board performance increase.  To reduce internal friction, engineers have applied a Diamond-like-coating (DLC) to the top surface of the valve tappets resulting in improved fuel efficiency. Engineers also expended considerable time and effort optimizing the oil pump pressure to achieve an ideal balance between durability and fuel economy. 

SAFETY INNOVATIONS

The body shell structure is engineered to the very highest standards of safety: In crash safety tests conducted in-house ix35 scores a five-star rating in Euro NCAP testing for both frontal and side impacts. Particular attention has been paid to increasing the stiffness of the front side members which have been enlarged and straightened. Also, the center pillars serve as the anchors of new ring structure which improves overall side structure stiffness while also creating more room for the door armrest and seat.

The entire body shell has been made stiffer and lighter thanks to its more extensive use of ultra-high tensile strength steel which comprises 68.9 percent of the shell compared to its predecessor's 57.3 percent. Also, the use of Tailor Welded Blanks has been expanded on key structural members. TWB assemblies combine steels of different thickness and grades using a sophisticated laser welding and stamping process achieving an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio. TWBs reduce body weight while enhancing crash energy management.

Elongated flush-mounted headlamps not only add a strong sense of style but also feature projector beam lenses for improved night-time driving safety.

Side mirror housings have been modified to reduce wind noise and also feature an integrated repeater lamp for improved visibility. At the flick of a switch, the foldable mirror housings dip inwards to reduce the overall width of the vehicle.

Innovations extend to the side glass weather-stripping which now features a water dam.  This not only enlarges the side glass view but also safely channels rain water to maximize visibility.

AVAILABILITY

The ix35 will be built in three factories on two continents. Mass production of the Tucson has already started at the Ulsan factory for the Korean domestic market in September. In Nov. 2009, the Ulsan plant will begin production for North America and the general market (all countries outside of EU and greater Europe).

April 9, 2009 - As the only contact between your car and the rough roads ahead, your tires are very important to the safety of you, the driver, and your passengers. Keeping your tires in optimal performance is maintaining the right tire pressure on a consistent basis which affects:

• Tire wear
• Tire failures
• Loss of Control
• Increase in Gas Consumption

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that underinflated tires resulted in 300,000 accidents per year in America. Hyundai is doing its part to help decrease the amount of underinflated tires by alerting drivers of a drop in tire pressure with the new Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) which comes standard in every new Hyundai model. How does it work?

• When tire pressure drops 20%, the driver is alerted with a light on the dashboard. The alert system does not mean that the tire is about to burst or go flat but it is a warning signal that the tire may need to be checked for more air or nitrogen.

Some Useful Information Relating to Tire Pressures:

• It is estimated that, on average, Americans wasted two million gallons of gas each year because of underinflated tires. Why? Because it takes more energy to move vehicles with underinflated tires.
• An underinflated tire can affect load-carrying capacity
• Underinflated tires flex more as it rolls, thus building up an excessive amount of hear, causing possible damage to the tire's internal structure. This can happen of a short period of time and cause sudden tire destruction.

Hyundai is continuing to do its part in making quality products and keeping customers safe. For more information on TPMS and the importance of tire pressure for your car, please visit David Maus Hyundai in Deland.
