The Tucson continues to show its potential as a viable alternative to the ubiquitous Honda CR-V, what with its roomy interior, comfortable ride, and impressive fuel economy all wrapped in an attractive, affordable package. There have been some complaints about the Tucson's lack of power, but the crossover's 176 horses are comparable to that of the CR-V (180). In 2005, Hyundai introduced the first Tucson. At the time, the carmaker described the small 'ute as "a value-packed sport/utility vehicle that meshes with our buyers' active lifestyles." A half-decade later, and currently in its second generation after undergoing Fluidic Sculpture cosmetic surgery, the Tucson's original purpose remains unchanged. Definitly a great value for the money, the Tucson is replete with features like Bluetooth audio controls, satellite radio, and navigation included at its affordable $29,590 as-tested price (not bad for the topline model with all the goodies). Around town, there's plenty of power available, but some staffers are of the opinion the engine lacks the oomph needed to easily pass cutthroat drivers on California freeways, and the engine note sounds increasingly coarse above 60 mph. Seats are comfortable, and controls and features in the cabin are easy to use. Associate online editor Zach Gale logged that the Tucson's cousin, the Kia Sportage, has most of the same characteristics as the Hyundai, but they're wrapped in a more attractive package. ![]() For : Price, equipment, decent drive Against : Slow engines, firm ride, interior still plasticky Following record-breaking sales in 2010, Hyundai and Kia announced their plan to reach 6.33 million units in 2011, which would represent a 10-percent increase.
It may feel a bit like d'ej`a vu, but Toyota has just announced a worldwide recall affecting 1.53 millions cars, including some Toyota Avalon and Toyota Kluger models as well as Lexus GS300, IS250, and RX models. The recall was issued due to a faulty brake master cylinder seal that could leak brake fluid. No [...]
After a spring/summer tour of U.S. dealerships, Hyundai announced it will import the new Equus flagship sedan here, beginning in summer or fall 2010. Target is the Lexus LS, though the keenly priced Equus (sticker is expected to be between $50,000 and $60,000) could also pick up some near-lux buyers left stranded by the disappearance of the Lincoln Town Car. Although the South Korean version doesn't include groundbreaking technology like a Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series does, U.S.-spec models will include such equipment as adaptive cruise control. Launch powertrain is likely to be the new 5.0-liter direct injection version of the Tau V-8, which will drive the rear wheels through a new eight-speed automatic transmission. If you happen to be the oldest among a large brood of siblings, you might understand the Santa Fe's current predicament. Not too many years ago, it was the company's SUV Only Child, the recipient of Hyundai's undivided attention. Well, it's alone no more. Today, it finds itself squeezed between the smaller Tucson and the bigger Veracruz, as well as having to contend with that Kia clan of half-brothers, including the Sorento and Sportage. Many of which are quite good, too. What's a Santa Fe to do? Nissan is about to issue what is is said to be the third biggest recall its ever announced. Nissan Motor Company has said it will affect 2.14 million cars worldwide, all caused by a potentially faulty ignition relay which could cause stalling problems. It’s too early to tell yet if the recall affects any Australian-sold [...]

In special laboratories techniques create situations and observe how car will show itself. How will these situations will influence passengers and driver. It helps producers to identify all problems and disadvantages due to correct them before mass production. In case of low quality test drives, innocent people can be harmed. While cars are tested instead of passengers, soft manikins are used. Numerous appliances are based on them, and at the moment of artificial crash it will memorize the force of hit, speed, possible damage on other characteristics, needed to be clarified. When parts are tested they may be separated from the car structure or be on their place. These test also show what material is better to be used on this or those detail, how long will it serve and how it should be treated. As I came up fast over the crest just before the sharp right-hander, I felt the race car begin to understeer away from me. "No worries," I thought, forgetting what exactly I was driving, "I'll just get on the power and get it straightened out." A tank-slapper later I was facing the other direction on the edge of the grass. I had just spun out on my first lap ever in a race car. A front-drive Kia Rio B-Spec race car, at that.
