The Elantra N-Line starts at just over $32,000

BMW has its “M” series, Nissan NISMO, Toyota has TRD, Ford has its Ford Performance Racing, Mercedes has AMG, and…
One owner experienced a sudden catastrophic engine failure at 119,091 km
By 2012 the Hyundai Sonata was in its sixth generation and benefited from a restyling job and drivetrain changes from the year before.

Going right back to the old 1980s-era Pony and Sonata, the Korean company’s products have been easy on the eyes. Some more than others, of course, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I…

The first Genesis model with a dedicated all-electric platform is the GV60, a high-end compact crossover. Genesis is the luxury brand for Hyundai.

The hatchback body configuration is just about as versatile as you can get in this market
Hyundai’s 2012 edition of the Elantra Touring was kind of an in-between vehicle. The hatchback entered the North American market for the first time in 2009 but received a complete overhaul in 2011.
