Hyundai Genesis

Back in March we revealed sketches of Hyundai's Concept Genesis, which was subsequently unveiled at the New York Auto Show in April. While the concept blazed down the luxury path previously uncharted by the Korean automaker - sporting a rear-drive architecture and a V8 powerplant - the production version seems to have adopted some of its German competition's styling cues.

Following an interview with Hyundai's North America chief designer Joel Piaskowski at the New York Auto Show, we fully expected the concept to change. But these official photographs, which shows the Genesis sedan in full production glory prior to its 'official' debut at the NAIAS, shows a toned-down aesthetic that includes a front face that is reminiscent of a Mercedes-Benz W220 S-class and the rear taillamp treatment of a BMW E60 5-series.

These are, however, only first impressions. We'll give you a full report when we see the car in the metal at the NAIAS in January.

Hyundai SonataTransform

Hyundai has released the first photos of its Sonata Transform sedan, one of the most important vehicles in the carmaker's lineup. This is its first major facelift since it was launched in 2004.

The new design is a departure from its predecessor and the styling language has shifted from what was geometrical to a more organic and softer form, with rounder bumper surfaces and softer edges at the radiator grille and around the headlamps. The lower grille area - with fog lamps pushed out as wide as possible - is more robust than the design it replaces, allowing for the car to exhibit a better stance when viewed from the front. Inside, the Sonata was completely redesigned, with improvements including a sleeker more dynamic flow in the interior form.

Though the Sonata is the bestselling and most-recognized car in the Korean market, the Sonata Transform has been charged with of reigniting the carmaker's declining US market share, which is dominated by the Japanese manufacturers. But while D1-sized family sedan sales have been steadily declining in the US, their influence is still significant.

Hyundai Concept Genesis Coupe

Korea's largest automaker is poised to unveil the Concept Genesis Coupe at the 2007 Los Angeles International Auto Show next week. Though these sketches are admittedly exaggerated, the coupe uses the concept Genesis sedan, unveiled it the 2007 New York International Auto Show in April, as the basis for the structure.

According to our sources, the sporting coupe concept hints at the forthcoming design direction for a future rear-wheel drive sports coupe from Hyundai called the BK, a luxurious sport coupe specifically for North American market. Contrary to popular belief, the BK coupe is not the replacement for the Tiburon/Tuscani but is positioned more upscale.

The sweeping, aggressive lines of the rendered images appear particularly radical and feature a Z-lined DLO around the waistline. Hopefully it will translate well onto the finished product, which we'll be seeing next week in LA. Stay tuned for our Los Angeles Auto Show Highlights coming soon.

With diminutive dimensions of just 3,565mm long and 1,595mm wide, the i10 promises to be simple to maneuver through city traffic and easy to park in tight spots. But while it has compact overall dimensions, the i10 has a wheelbase of 2,380mm - exceptionally long for this class. With the wheels pushed far into each corner there is more space inside for people and luggage, plus it boosts the i10 refinement and handling attributes.

The i10 also has a proper tailgate (rather than just a piece of glass) and a host of standard amenities, including an integrated six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo. All i10 models will be powered by a 67PS, 1.1-liter petrol engine mated to either a manual or an optional automatic gearbox. The gearshift is mounted on the center console to improve ergonomics and free up space between the driver and the passenger seat.

Hyundai Veloster concept

Styled at Hyundai's Design and Technical Centre at Namyang, the Veloster coupe is the third in a series of daring concept cars to be developed by the company's central styling studio in Korea.

A panoramic glass roof and other futuristic styling cues help project a high-tech image. Designed to cater to the tastes of the so-called Y-generation, Veloster combines simple, iconic design with good value and robust construction.

"With Veloster, we wanted to try something really different. We're keenly aware that we need radically new products for the Y-generation, the first-time buyer in their twenties," said Oh Suk-Geun, Hyundai's vice president of design. "This is really a bold new direction."
