Hyundai Ioniq

The exterior has become more expressive due to new optics and front grille. The already familiar horizontal stripes have been replaced by a large faceted ornament. The decorative panel supports this style, although in the previous generation it was perfectly smooth. The updated running lights and enlarged company’s logo stand out strongly in the front end.

The interior retained the features of the series, but got a newfangled IRS with 10.25-inch monitor. In addition, new trim materials are used in the design. The changes seem insignificant until you consider the new technical features of the electric modification. Blue Link technology is available. Hyundai Ioniq now has a battery capacity of 38.3 kWh, while the previous version could boast of only 28 kWh. Now without recharging the car will run an average of 294 km. Despite the changes of the battery, the engine remains the same – only 134 hp.

Hybrid versions of the Ioniq are equipped with a 1.6 liter gasoline engine with four cylinders and 104 “horses” in terms of power. Depending on a complete set this engine is combined with 43 or 60 hp electric motors. Hybrid versions have a battery of 15.6 kWh, providing about 52 km of cruising range.

The hybrids will appear on the European market in mid-September, while the start of sales in Russia of the electric version is planned for September 2022.

Hyundai Palisade

The new Hyundai Palisade flagship model is a full-size SUV from the premium segment that combines a rich design, advanced technological solutions and perfect space ergonomics. The most important factors in the development were considered the maximum comfort and safety, so the model is suitable for both the bustle of the city, and for a comfortable trip out of town in a big company.

In terms of design the manufacturer relied on brutality and monumentality. Wheel arches, strict outlines of the roof and complex in terms of architecture front bumper create a full harmonious image of a sports “beauty”. Bright individual features are shown in the interesting two-level optics, 20-inch massive disks and a long body.

The Palisade’s interior is spacious and thoughtful, providing a comfortable environment for all passengers and the driver. The model has three rows of seats and will come in two configurations: with 7 and 8 seats. Luxurious materials, including fine wood inlays and Nappa leather, are used for the car’s interior and trim.

The dashboard is a 12.3-inch display and the infotainment system is 10.25 inches. The trunk has a capacity of 510 liters, but if you fold down the third row of seats, the volume increases to 1,297 liters.

The new flagship comes with two engines:

A 3.8-liter gasoline engine with 291 horsepower.
A 2.2 liter turbodiesel, which generates 200 hp.

Both versions are combined with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The classic gear lever is replaced by a remote control. Sales of the car will start in mid-2022.

Hyundai Sonata.

This year the Sonata has already got the 8th generation. The Koreans made life easy for Russian buyers just in time for the release of the new model on the market. The Hyundai Sonata can be configured and booked on the official website, and then the ready-made car will be delivered free of charge to any dealer center.

The design of the Sonata has been redesigned almost from scratch. The appearance of the car became more sporty and youthful, it looks attractive from any angle. You can see that when developing the design they made a look back at more premium cars, like Audi A5 Sportback.

Most of the decorative elements harmoniously unite the image, making it complete and “mature” over the past generations. Especially pleasing are the optics, exquisitely emphasized by chrome elements, as well as a variety of body color variations. In addition to the banal black and white paint introduced more rich shades, such as gold and navy blue. In bright combinations the charm of Sonata is revealed to the full.

The interior is similar to Audi A8 in many respects, only in a simplified version and with Hyundai character. The materials became more qualitative, as well as the finishing. Soft leather on the armrests, glossy plastic on the dashboard and on the levers under the steering wheel, everything in the upper part of the cabin is made expensive. The lower part is made simpler, but no less quality.

The buyer is offered a choice between the old 2.0 MPi 150 hp power unit and the new 2.5 MPi Smartstream engine variant, generating 180 horses. Complemented by an automatic transmission with 6 speeds.
