A proper Lexus rival from Korea

Hyundai has a lot to celebrate for its luxury brand, Genesis. That's because South Korea's lone luxury car brand recently broke the one million sales milestone. It's quite a feat given that Genesis, as a standalone brand, was

Let’s see the competition

By now, it's likely you know that the Hyundai Custo is (most likely) coming to the Philippines soon. It's a minivan from the South Korean automaker, so it could be said that it fits into two categories: MPV and van.

It doesn't even get AWD

The Hyundai Creta is getting some off-road credentials, at least in terms of looking the part. Over in India, Hyundai's subcompact crossover gets a new variant, and it gives the car a slightly more butch appearance. Mind you, it's

The comparo many of you have been waiting for

Can it beat its more mainstream rivals?

As Hyundai shies away from its formerly utilitarian model mix in the Philippines and pushes upmarket, it is vehicles like the Stargazer-an entry-level seven-seat MPV-that need to bridge the gap in order to boost sales volume. With its

Hyundai could be gearing up for something big

There have been several updates about the Hyundai Stargazer X over the past few months. We first uncovered that name in February 2023 when it was registered in the local trademark and patent office. At the time, we reckoned it would be

The comparo many of you have been waiting for

Only for India...for now?

When it comes to mini crossovers, Hyundai sure has a knack for rolling these out. First, there was the Casper that might remain forbidden fruit to those outside South Korea. The second was the Exter, which is made for emerging markets. The

There are many silly, cringe-inducing labels attached to Hyundai N's first ever fully electric performance machine, but the seriousness with which they are deployed will make your brain melt.Welcome to the official unveiling of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.

Looking forward to it?
