First drive review: 2020 Hyundai Sonata doubles down on sedan segment in style
Pulling out of the 123-story Lotte World Tower into the crush of Seoul’s morning traffic in the 2020 Hyundai Sonata, the striking symbolism isn’t lost on me. The 1,819-foot tower is new, the fifth-tallest building in the world, and the tallest in Korea. This engineering marvel...

The sportiest of Hyundai just got a little less, well, sporty. The 2019 Hyundai Sonata Sport loses its turbocharged engine for the new model year, leaving a naturally aspirated inline-4 as the only option. CarsDirect reported the engine's departure from the Sonata Sport on Tuesday, but the 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine still lives on as an option for the Sonata Limited. However, that mean buyers will have to spend nearly $4,000 more to get turbocharged power in the Sonata. The 2018 Sonata Sport starts at $28,485; the 2018 Sonata Limited with the boosted mill runs $32,785. Pricing for the 2019...

The redesigned 2015 Hyundai Sonata was revealed initially in its home market of Korea, but now it's made its world debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show. As we previously reported, Hyundai is adopting a more aggressive rollout program for its Sonata and will start sales of this new model this fall, giving the previous car a shelf life of less than five years. The move should help the Sonata claw back some market share in a segment that remains dominated by the Toyota Camry but has seen impressive new arrivals such as the latest-generation Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion and Honda Accord. MUST SEE...

2012 Hyundai Veloster Preview: 2011 Detroit Auto Show
It's one of the most hotly anticipated new cars on display at the 2011 Detroit auto show--and maybe that's surprising, since the 40-mpg 2012 Hyundai Veloster comes from humbler beginnings than super cars like the Porsche 918, Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and BMW 650i that also are vying for attention at...

On Wednesday, we told you about Volkswagen's "See Film Differently" film project. Now Hyundai has decided to align itself with movie buffs by sponsoring three film screenings called Glamour Reel Moments. Glamour Reel Moments is an ongoing project of Glamour magazine, and over five years, it's given actresses like Gwynneth Paltrow, Kirsten Dunst, and Jennifer Aniston the chance to try their hand at directing.
