Unfortunately not yet know the technical characteristics of the new vehicle nor its design, but rumors say that the i40 again the same style seen in the concept HED-2 Genus presented recently by the same company.

As regards, however, the engines the only news seems certain that the new 2.2 turbo propeller that releases an output of 200 horses to ensuring top performance category.

Wait possible announcement that could arrive already in the coming months.

The Exhibition of Paris will provide an opportunity for many home automakers to present a preview new models arriving at dealerships in brief.

It also seems that Hyundai intends to present to the public a new vehicle that will be inserted in the segment B, we are talking about the i20 model that the intention of the company will replace the model Getz that appears not to have made breakthrough in the hearts of the public.

The new model is un’utilitaria five doors, despite the compact size, offers the driver and passengers plenty of room inside the car to ensure maximum comfort.

Do not know much regarding the technical and engine, then we must wait until the Paris Motor Show opens its doors to be able to get more information and know the exact date of the debut on the market that should take place within the first months of 2009 .

Even Hyundai has decided to enter into the SUV segment of mighty dimensions to the public by presenting its proposal, we are talking about the Veracruz model that will arrive in Italy under the name iX55.

The vehicle in question promises to battagliare an equal footing with vehicles from the same segment. On the other hand has all it takes to do so as it will be equipped with numerous technologies that will make it safe and comfortable driving among which include: the transparent roof, ABS, bluetooth, ESP, Cruise Control and much more.

With regard to engines, when the official debut will be mounted a V6 3.0-litre turbo that releases an output of 240 horses, but later will be joined other engines to give greater choice to the user. Unfortunately not yet known when the new vehicle will arrive in Italy nor the price list. We remain on hold.

It seems that in the short Hyundai also comes to arrogance in the segment of hybrid cars entering the market model Hyundai Elantra LPI.

The vehicle in question is a modified version of traditional Elantra and is characterized precisely by the presence of a dual engine: a 1.6 liter fuelled by LPG and electric powered by lithium polymer batteries.

This combination will ensure CO2 emissions on the environment significantly reduced so as not to exceed 103 g / km. Even consumption will benefit with a reduction which should get to 50% less than the model currently on the market.

The only known tune on price, because the company did not imply that require little money down so you can buy. A cost that, according to calculations made by the company, may be recovered in just two years.

According to some official statistics, the Hyundai-Kia group was able to pounce on the fifth place of the special ranking that encloses the car manufacturers who sell the largest number of vehicles each year.

To make the cost was the Japanese Honda which has lost just the fifth place after many years.

A major milestone reached by the Hyundai-Kia when one considers that just ten years ago, the Korean manufacturer was in tenth position.

The year 2007 was particularly profitable for the company managed to sell a number of vehicles amounted to 3.961,629. The biggest sales were made in America where the company has placed more than 772,000 cars (467,000 Hyundai and Kia 305,000).

Now the group hopes to overcome that Ford is in fourth place in the special standings, goal objectively difficult to achieve given that Ford sold in 2007 nearly six million vehicles. Never say never.
