Hyundai Reviews

Hyundai's Ioniq range is nothing if not a flex in the face of Toyota. Sure, Toyota has a dominating position in the Australian market, with its well-received range of hybrid models, but what happens after hybrid? Hyundai takes on the blocky Prius formula with not only a directly competing hybrid model, but a plug-in and a fully electric version, too. This expansive range is as though Hyundai is trying to demonstrate it's ready for any future, near or far, and guess what, Toyota? Anything you can do; the Korean juggernaut thinks it can do better. These cars aren't really designed to sell so much as they are offerings for early adopters, but a few years after its launch, with a host of rivals set to take it on, and an entire sub-brand based on the Ioniq just around the corner, is Hyundai's top-spec Ioniq electric  worth a look? I took one for a week to find out.

The 2021 Hyundai i30 N Line is loads of fun to drive - but does it work as a family car? I tested this car around the inner suburbs of Sydney for a week with my family of four, here's the run down of how we went.

The 2021 Santa Fe Highlander V6 is the second to last on the tall Santa Fe model ladder. It's much cheaper than the diesel and has more power, but it's only front-wheel drive and uses more fuel. This means you have to do the maths. Actually, you don't - we've done it for you.

Hyundai's first real tilt at a light SUV is the Venue - a boxy little crossover with character, space and dynamic agility built in. It's also easy to get in and out of, well made, surprisingly spacious and effortless to operate, offering light steering, a tight turning circle and plenty of low-down throttle response. But the competition is fierce and in a couple of ways the Venue falls short.

The Hyundai Venue is tiny but more practical than some bigger SUVs, but it's not all good news when it comes to this little SUV

The Nexo is a tech trailblazer for what could be a zero-emissions diesel replacement, but what's the big catch?

This comparison test you can think of as a sequel to one we brought you in early 2021. We promised to put the Kia Stonic in against some of its light SUV rivals, and we've brought you that test with a bit of a twist...

The Kona N Line is little, it's an SUV, and it's sporty, but we found it thirsty and impractical.
