Reviews SummaryHyundai has discontinued most of the Veloster lineup, choosing to instead focus on expanding its roster of (more profitable) crossover SUVs, so the top-spec Veloster N goes it alone for the 2022 model year. But with sport compact car sales flagging and Hyundai making no changes to the Veloster N, one must wonder if the 2022 model year represents the hot hatch's curtain call. | |
Reviews SummaryHyundai’s Genesis luxury brand is getting up to speed quickly. Just six years after its debut Genesis now has a fairly complete lineup of sedans and SUVs pitched against the more established German, Japanese, and American brands. Those brands all feature small sport sedans, and the 2023 G70 checks that box for Genesis. The G70 was launched for the 2019 model year, and got a major update for 2022 that included a restyling to bring it in line with other current Genesis models. With that taken care of, the 2023 Genesis G70 carries over unchanged. It remains Genesis’ entry-level sedan, competing against the likes of the Acura TLX, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Cadillac CT4, Infiniti Q50, Lexus IS, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Genesis offers the choice of 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (badged 2.0T) and 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 (3.3T) powertrains, and rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). Four-cylinder models are available in Standard and Sport Prestige trim levels, while V6 models add a Sport Advanced trim level between those two. Our test car was a 3.3T AWD Sport Prestige with all the bells and whistles. | |
