Hyundai continues to roll along with attractive, well equipped models like the Accent, Elantra, Sonata and Azera. Last year the Santa Fe lineup was split into two and now includes the five passenger Santa Fe Sport and seven passenger Santa Fe. Hyundai also offers a pair of sporty cars in the Veloster and Genesis Coupe. The baby Tucson crossover is heavily refreshed this year while an all-new Genesis sedan is right around the corner.
Founded in 1967 Hyundai launched the Pony in 1975 with styling from renowned designer Giorgio Giugiaro and engines from Mitsubishi. The car made its way to North America in 1983, with huge success in Canada leading to the launch of the Excel in the U.S. three years later.
