Auto news on Youtube Aug 24 2017

Hyundai issued a number of updates for its popular Sonata but this car faces

stiff competition in the redesigned Honda Accord and Toyota Camry so let's

see what Hyundai cooked up and if it's enough to maintain family appeal now

this is still the current generation Sonata which has been around 2015 model

year but if you look at the grille it almost looks like a full redesign of the

car in this unit alone no longer is there a split unit with kind of upper

and lower section it's all kind of fused to the one big grill it sits lower here

the headlights kind of drape farther back here along the fenders as well you

get around to the back redesigned taillights and it says sonata across the

trunk lift that isn't something you see on too many cars these days anymore

kind of cool that Hyundai is bringing it back the Sonata offers three inches we

have the base engine here a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder adequate power certainly not

terribly exciting in the passing lane but the bigger changes if you're

shopping the base engine actually are what Hyundai did to chassis there's a

upgraded rear suspension links and bushings there's increased component

stiffness in the steering there's retune steering overall and the sum of all that

actually makes for a very comfortable riding car that's fairly fun to drive

but you don't get a sense that you're going that fast when you actually are

going pretty fast because the suspension settles in real nicely on the highway

steering feedback steering turn it very very good and those are big strides for

Hyundai which is always kind of struggled in that area with the kind of

steering numbness not really the case now with 2018 Sonata it's no sports

sedan but you know it holds its own now other changes inside include a

redesigned center stack here with some larger climate controls and a nicer

finish on certain buttons you get a seven or eight inch touch screen this is

the 7-inch unit but no matter which screen you get apple carplay and android

auto are both standard that's a nice provision to have but we'd like to see

automatic emergency braking and important safety feature also join the

list of standard features a lot of key competitors include that feature

standard it remains optional on the 2018 Sonata still Hyundai brings a lot of

value to the table 2018 Sonata starts around $23,000 ends up around $33,000

with options that's a little bit less than a lot of mainstream competitors and

you get Hyundai's excellent warranty to boot the refresh Sonata may not beat the

class at any individual thing but the refined ride and a lot of features for

the dollar merit a serious look from mainstream

midsize sedan shoppers

Hyundai launches a new, longer range fuel-cell vehicle - AMAZING NEWS - Duration: 2:46.

Hyundai launches a new, longer range fuel-cell vehicle

Hyundai has taken the covers off a new hydrogen-powered SUV it claims can run up to 800km on a single tank of fuel.

The yet to be named model will replace the previous ix35 fuel-cell vehicle that is currently being trialled on Australian roads.

Hyundai engineers were in Australia last month to carry out cold-weather testing of two prototypes of the new car in the Snowy Mountains, while the ACT Government has committed to take 20 of the vehicles — and build a hydrogen refuelling station — for its Hornsdale Windfarm Project.

The cars are expected to be delivered late next year and will be supplied with green electricity from the wind farm. The ACT Government is also spending $55 million on a hydrogen electrolyser, which uses electricity to produce hydrogen.

The car industry is divided about the future of fuel-cell vehicles, with some makers saying the lack of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure means that plug-in battery powered EVs are a better way of replacing cars with internal combustion engines.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has called the technology "incredibly dumb" but others, including Toyota and Honda, are investing heavily in it. Toyota's Mirai and Honda's Clarity are already sold to private customers in California.

In Europe, BMW is rumoured to be planning to unveil a fuel-cell vehicle at next month's Frankfurt motor show.

Fuel-cell vehicles have a key advantage over the current crop of electric vehicles as they can be refuelled in minutes, as with a conventional car, while most EVs require several hours to recharge from a household power point.

Fast-charging stations reduce the time but still take more than an hour for a full charge. Hydrogen-fuelled cars also have greater range than plug-in EVs.

But the stumbling block remains refuelling stations. Australia has just one permanent station, built by Hyundai in Sydney to fuel development prototypes.

Efficiency is claimed to be improved by roughly 10 per cent, while range increases by a third from the current claim of 594km.

Hyundai says the new model has 20 per cent better performance and improved cold-start ability. Cold starts have been problematic for fuel-cell vehicles but Hyundai claims the new model can start at minus 30.

The company says the new model will also be cheaper to produce, making it more attractive to buyers.

Hyundai will also continue to work on development of plug-in electric vehicles and hybrids as it introduces 31 "eco-friendly" models to global markets by 2020.

The company already sells a plug-in hybrid car, the Ioniq, and plans to launch an EV version of its Kona compact SUV, with a claimed range of 390km, in the first half of next year.

It plans to have a long-range EV that can travel 500km on a single charge by 2021.
