Hyundai has revealed its next-generation fuel-cell drivetrain technology, which will power an expanded range of hydrogen passenger cars and trucks starting in 2023.

Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) – the parent company of Hyundai, Kia and Genesis – has not only announced when it will go carbon neutral, but also how it will go about the ambitious move

Hyundai’s emerging premium brand, Genesis, has announced its bold plans for a zero-emissions future – with a twist

Genesis has revealed its more luxurious version of the all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, with the all-new GV60 mid-size SUV due in Australian showrooms in the first half of next year

We recently looked at some concept cars that never stood a chance of seeing a showroom. But what about the opposite? The concepts that are so good they deserve to hit production?

Following the axing of Holden last year, Hyundai and Kia were left as the only two brands in Australia to offer local ride and handling tunes across nearly all of their model line-ups, but the former is now gradually moving away from such programs, while the latter is persisting with them

Although Genesis is still establishing itself at the premium end of the Australian new-car market, sales are beginning to steadily build.

Genesis could become the big winner of Lexus’ shock decision to axe its popular IS mid-size sedan.

Already challenging established luxury brands with its tech, safety, and feature-laden sedans and SUVs, Genesis is set to broaden its Aussie market presence with the launch of three new all-electric models in early 2022.

Genesis has taken the wraps off its newest and most dynamic model yet - the G80 Sport.Set to join the range in the fourth quarter of the year, roughly a year after the latest G80 model launched in Australia, this new addition has a range of unique elements that help it stand out.Whether it’s enough to take on the stars of the mid-size luxury sedan market - the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class - remains to be seen as Genesis hasn’t released full specifications, but this is clearly the best option the upstart brand has had until now. Crucially what’s under the bonnet remains unconfirmed, although the likely option is the existing 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 which makes 279kW/530Nm. What we do know is that the new G80 Sport will be all-wheel drive, but also gets Rear Wheel Steering (RWS) to improve its dynamic performance.The G80 Sport will also ride on unique 20-inch alloy wheels, which feature the brand’s signature “G-Matrix Pattern”, and there will also be a choice of brake caliper colour (black or red) to further accentuate its sporty intentions.It also gets its own grille treatment, with a dark glossy chrome finish and a “three-dimensional wing-shaped” front bumper to accentuate the new look. At the rear there’s a new bumper design that creates a diffuser-style appearance.Inside the changes include a new three-spoke steering wheel and new trim finishes in real aluminium, carbon and and a diamond-patterned weave. There will also be new seat options but both will be trimmed in leather.The G80 Sport has been presented in a new colour, Cavendish Red, that will also be exclusive to the model. Full details, including performance and pricing, will be revealed closer to the car’s launch later this year.
