Since the Genesis and Equus now have their own lineup and division which Hyundai named Genesis, the South Korean automaker will just ostensibly be in charge of manufacturing fewer vehicles. This does not mean that Hyundai will be less busy.
Hyundai’s primal interest for the year 2017 is enlargening the compact car sector starting with the new Elantra and revealing a new model that will be available in three versions: the hybrid, electric or a plug-in hybrid. The new model is called the Ioniq, and although it may look ordinary, it will be a big deal when it becomes available to buyers in 2017.
The Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport got a mid-cycle update, so those crossovers got a few new interior and exterior features. Hyundai did this in order to rejuvenate the model before it gets redesigned in a couple of years.
