Hyundai Kona

As off late 2017 South Korean brand Hyundai launched their small SUV into the market, the Kona is sized somewhere between the I30 and the Tucson, coming in 4 trim levels and quite an extensive list of colour combinations, two tone paint options and 3 options for interior trim colours. potential buyers are spoilt for choice. 
As well as an extensive list of colour options the buyer has a choice of

N/A 2.0 MPI  4 CYL engine mated to a 6 speed automatic gearbox putting out a reasonable 110 kw @ 6,500 RPM with 180 NM @ 4,500 RPM 
or buyers have the option of a
1.6T GDI 4 CYL mated with a 7 speed DCT with standard all wheel drive putting out 130 kw @ 5,500 with 265 NM @ 1,500 RPM up to 4,500 RPM.

After testing both drive trains our choice is the 1.6T GDI, the unit itself feels as though it doesn't have to work as hard to keep up like the 2.0 MPI and the 7 speed DCT is silky smooth as well as more economical. in the highlander Kona you can expect to see creature comforts such as; heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, HUD (heads up display) and as off mid 2018 Hyundai has added GPS, DAB, an optional sunroof as well as an all new KRELL 7 speaker audio system with a built in sub woofer bringing the cabin to life with crisp audio quality and a lovely thumb from the sub woofer 

Kona has a rather spacious cabin unlike most other cars of the same class, good visibility all round, privacy tinted glass in the rear (highlander model only) and more than comfortable seating for 5 adults. Kona sports a rather large cargo area with, 361 litres with the rear seats up and 1,143 litres with the rear seats folded. perfect for a weekend getaway, school run, grocery shopping or even the family pet.

Hyundai claims Kona will do 
2.0 MPI                                                 1.6T GDI
9..7 L/100 URBAN                              8.0 L/100 URBAN
5.8 L/100 EXTRA URBAN                6.0 L/100 EXTRA URBAN
7.2 L/100 COMBINED                       6.7 L/100 COMBINED

Kona has a crash rating of 5 out of a possible 5 stars and also sports features like LKA, LDW, frontal collision avoidance system, ABS, traction and stability control, auto emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert and much more.

The Hyundai Kona is a car without compromise its an edgy, eye catching, vibrant and fun vehicle that will almost certainly bring a smile to any owners face. If you're in the market for a small SUV with a big personality and even bigger presence we highly recommend going to view and test drive a Hyundai Kona.

i30 N, The new king?

Image
In 2018 Hyundai released the i30 N its first out of the box track ready car, the new poster child for the hot hatch segment at a price that cant be beaten.  i30 N has caused a stir in the hot hatch segment since it was announced, after production the new kid on the block took on the late king of hot hatches the Volkswagen Golf GTI in a simple drag race and left the golf in a cloud of glorious pops and bangs. Getting behind the wheel of the i30N is a familiar place to sit if you've been in an i30 recently of course. driving the i30 N is comparable to nothing, you seem to forget that you're driving quite a sophisticated bit of kit, the handling acceleration the sound of that exhaust its all so addictive. The i30 N comes with 3 trim levels, 6 colour options. listed below will be a more detailed description of performance, trim level and colour option Colour Options Engine Red (Solid) Polar White (Solid) Clean Slate (Metallic Blue) Phantom Black (Mica) Perf

2019 Santa Fe

The all new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe in late 2018 Hyundai launched their large SUV Santa Fe onto Australian roads with a new face, new technology and all new levels of comfort. The new Santa Fe is carrying over all the new features we know and love in new Hyundai vehicles but with extras. Hyundai launched their new AutoLink premium on the 2019 Santa Fe enabling users to pre heat, pre cool, lock, unlock and start the car all from a cell phone app. the use of AutoLink premium does require the use of a 3G network however if the vehicle maintenance is carried out by Hyundai the owner wont have to bare the expense of the connection. If owners should choose not to service with their dealer a small monthly fee can be paid to continue the use of the service. Safety: The new Santa Fe has some of the most impressive safety tech on the market. Possibly the most impressive to myself is the active rear cross traffic system. just the other day i was reversing out of a car spot a
