Fun Fun Fun, til your daddy takes your T-bird away, but a T-Bird is nowhere near the fun of driving a Hyundai IONIQ 5. There is oodles of power, in either a rear or AWD setup. IONIQ 5 is Hyundai’s most modern electric car, and it looks it.
The Hyundai Santa Cruz Sport Adventure Vehicle has been recognized as Best Pickup Truck for its design and utility by members of the Washington Automotive Press Association (WAPA).
Hyundai NEXO Hydrogen Fuel Cell SUV REVIEW NEXO is more than just a large SUV, it is a laboratory on wheels, a living museum piece in the making. It is one of the very first hydrogen fuel cell cars to be visible to punters on Australian roads.

Think of Venue as a small, cheeky-esque, family hatch, in an overcoat and heels. Venue is Hyundai’s baby hatch/SUV and comes in 3 models: Venue (previously known as GO, though, god knows why), Active, and Elite.

EVs sailed through the shortage, the only bump in the road being a few grocery items missing. Cars like my Kona electric, shrugged their shoulders as they conveyed their smug owners past huge lines of dinosaur- burning fossils. By the time they’re tucked up in front of the tellie, the Lambo driver has moved a metre.
Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 battery-electric medium SUV, goes on sale in Australia in September. IONIQ 5 will have 2WD (rear) or AWD powertrain, up to an initial allocation of 400 units. The first 400 IONIQ 5 cars will be sold by Hyundai directly to customers to provide a fair allocation of a high-demand model, with limited initial supply.
