Hyundai Car Verna News For China

This car is a new production technology in South Korea Hyundai Motor Show in Beijing provided a new Hyundai sedan Verna, better known as the Hyundai Accent. This is the third model produced entirely in China. And "Why Beijing was chosen the first Verna. The design of this car, built to 'top two in the new Hyundai plant in the Chinese capital, whose objective is both sporty and ultra-modern." We will continue to expand with more advanced models like the new SUV and Hyundai Verna IX35'Said Euisun Chung Vice President of Hyundai Motor.

The car engine in the new Chinese version is 1.6 DOHC 123cv range from which, along with new aluminum design that significantly reduces the weight of the car, you can get a good performance with fuel consumption and emissions abbreviated CO2. Power is transferred to a four-speed automatic transmission.

It is also accessible 107cv 1.4 DOHC version with manual transmission or five-speed automatic transmission that is four. In the first case, the consumption of 5.7 liters per 100 km, if the automatic transmission slightly to 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers.

"This is a very special day for us because one of the first times we just made in Korea - High Euisun Chung - In 2009 it reported a 94% growth in China. Since our arrival in 2002, we sold over 2 million cars: we are not losing momentum. "

Hyundai Will Manufacture The Veloster

Fairs of the engine, a collective way, taking one of the best places to find the next news Bajina further. Public Relations more talkative than I should be more than a cup of conversation after the conference audio. In February, you can count drop was Hall in Chicago, where a new Hyundai car is a deeply rooted source of our classmates and the English version finally Automotive Veloster do. Hyundai HND-3 Veloster made the Hall of Seoul in 2007, is a small sports coupe, which went almost unnoticed in the press. Yet the first reaction was so positive that the South Korean producer has decided to give the green light to confirm a voice heard in August.

Its conceptual phase Veloster equipped with 2.0-liter engine and 210 hp to move its front wheel. More than enough, in particular believes that measures 4.1 meters and registered only four persons including the driver. The final model can use the same engine, but an alternative system is expected to adapt to customers in Europe and the United States. Veloster decision to build is designed to explain why I refused to use the name of Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon source of the new Coupe, as you know, a rear and a mechanical range much higher. We'll see what happens when we put up for sale.

Production Hyundai i-flow planned for 2011; showcar previews diesel hybrid system and new eco ideas

The Hyundai i-flow is one of the significant concept cars at Geneva, not just because it looks dramatic, but because under that heavily sculpted skin is a range of latest tech that could appear in Hyundai’s next generation of cars. Powering the i-flow is the company’s first diesel-electric hybrid powertrain consisting of a U2 1.7-litre oil burner with two-stage turbocharging and Hyundai’s lithium ion-polymer battery. Coupled to a six-speed, dual-clutch transmission, the drivetrain is capable of 33.3 km/l and a low CO2 output of 85g/km.

The i-flow is also a test bed for new energy harvesting ideas, ranging from a flexible solar panel roofing to a thermo-electric generator developed in partnership with leading chemical company BASF. One such idea is thermal engine encapsulation, which ensures that the engine reaches optimum operating temperature more quickly by retaining heat when the car is idle. Hyundai says that this translates into fuel savings and emissions cuts of 5% during summer and up to 9% in winter. The thermo-electric generator meanwhile recaptures energy from hot exhaust gases and converts it to electrical energy to help power auxiliary systems.

Designed at Hyundai’s European studio in Russelsheim, the i-flow sports the firm’s “fluidic sculpture” design language. With an overall length of 4,780 mm and a 2,800 mm wheelbase, the i-flow is a Honda Accord sized D-segment contender that is set to hit the market in 2011. It remains to be seen how much of the i-flow’s styling is retained for production, but things look promising with the recent Korean realisation that advanced design is as important as making competent cars.

Live pictures from Geneva and official images are after the jump!

Hyundai i-flow Concept to debut at Geneva 2010

The sketch above previews the Hyundai i-flow concept, which will make its world debut at the Geneva show at the end of this month. Hyundai says this concept will preview a future D-segment competitor – but really, is it time for a new D-segment competitor so soon when the Sonata has just been revealed? The Sonata already has a coupe-like roofline so it would be quite overkill for them to do a “Passat CC CC” with another take on a D-segment car.

This is just a hunch but it could be possible that what Hyundai meant in its press release as D-segment is different from what we normally consider as D-segment cars. In the US, what we call D-segment cars are CD-segment cars. The Camry is a CD car, while Toyota’s D car is the Avalon. Hyundai had a model like that – the Azera, and it was even sold here in Malaysia. The Azera was first launched in 2005 and it’s about time for a 5-year lifecycle full replacement model to arrive!

This new concept car could be slotted in between the Sonata and the Genesis as Hyundai’s most expensive front wheel drive executive car (taking the place of the Azera) before we start to enter Genesis rear wheel drive territory. But then again I could be wrong and this is really a “double CC” version of the Sonata.

The same press release also says this new i-flow concept will be used by chemical company BASF (there’s a good chance you use BASF products in your car everyday – they make petrol additives too) as a platform to showcase some technology such as lightweight materials, and solar cells.

New Hyundai Sonata and Tucson coming in April!

Hyundai Sime Darby will be a very busy company in 2010, and the first launches we can expect from them this year is the introduction of the new Sonata YF and Tucson SUV, which is scheduled for April. Both cars will be imported CBU from Korea, and our source has also revealed the variants that will be brought in.

The sixth-generation Sonata, codenamed YF, will come with two Theta II engines – a 163 bhp/198 Nm 2.0-litre and a 176 bhp/228 Nm 2.4-litre, mirroring the engine options of its D-segment Japanese rivals. Not only the Sonata’s figures compare very well with its competitors, it also has a six-speed automatic gearbox (Accord and Camry 2.4 have five forward ratios) which is self-developed and claimed to be “maintainence free”.

The Tucson SUV will also ship with these two engines and the six-speed auto ‘box. If you want 4WD, opt for the 2.4-litre model, as the 2.0-litre Tucson will be front-wheel drive only. Hyundai’s Theta II, which is a development of the GEMA world engine, is 10kg lighter than its predecessor, more frugal, cleaner and comes with Dual CVVT. The latest GDI direct injection engines won’t reach our shores however, due to below par fuel quality.

Spec levels for these two cars will be competitive and prices will undercut their immediate rivals, which we take as the Honda CR-V for the Tucson, Accord and Camry for the Sonata. You may have noticed the Arab number plates on these pictures; they were snapped this afternoon as we have been test driving the new Hyundais in Muscat, Oman. Unfortunately, we cannot share our impressions with you yet as the story is embargoed, but do stay tuned for updates as the launch date nears. Let’s just say for now that these new entries have great showroom appeal and are very decent to drive
