look at the tiny amount of see through glass in the c-pillar, most other manufactures would have cheaped out and just put black plastic there, instead Hyundai put a window in. Good work Hyundai.

Looks good overall.

However to me, the interior looks like as though it was smashed together with bits from Cadillac, Volvo, Nissan, Subaru and Lexus.

i reckon the front headlights look a bit similar to the new subaru liberty’s headlights, except that the Hyundai’s are done more smoothly. Otherwise, this has to be the best looking Hyundai yet.

CLS in the front and Passat CC in the profile, but not derivative. I like it a lot, definitely pushing the envelope further than its Japanese rivals

Yes.
Just adding little bit of touch of sophistication.

Seriously front design looks like Peugeot is better than front design looks like Camry.
Looks like Camry means…it’s crap right?
I actually said good thing about this car…I said clap not crap.
And you’re d**k head Enzo by the way.

You wrote “The resemblance that you see is entirely in your head….”
Of course it is. Well, I never drive this car and never seen actual car as most people in Australia.
I just wrote my comment because I read lots of reviews and they said MB CLS and VW Passat Coupe have minimum rear hear space.
I don’t know how big this car is, but it looks like smaller than CLS and Passat Coupe.
So I GUESS THIS CAR HAS REAR HEAD SPACE IS MINIMUM AS WELL !!!!
That’s all, what’s your problem Enzo?

And from these images, I thought this car looks like Peugeot at front and taste of interior is Toyota like…I didn’t say ugly or bad.
I wrote Just my first impression just like other people wrote this forum.

This is “Speak Your Mind”.
We can put anything in our mind as long as followed this site rule.
Is that clear, Enzo?

Yep, I was wondering about the grill. It really looks like crap, hopefully an alternative more conservative grill will be on offer when it gets here. Hopefully on the base modle so those of us who don’t crave bling or aspire to matching the Joneses are given a option that wont be so badly dated in just a couple of years.

The resemblance that you see is entirely in your head. Peugeot-ish, Toyota-ish, oh please!

The Theta engine is based on the GEMA Project with Mitsubishi and Chrysler…
So the new Theta2 engine on Tucson and Sonata features Dual CVVT techonlogy…
The upcoming 2.4 will have their in-house Direct Injection Technology.
The 6-spd automatic gearbox is also developed by their subsidiary, Hyundai Powertech…

The front looks terrible.The engines seem decent but I wonder from where Hyundai are acquiring the engine technology?

123KW from 2L N/A is quite decent.

The front end looks Camry apart from the grille.
