#13 of 1439 snowman-I read of Hyundai designing a "larger-than- by iluvmysephia1 Jan 12, 2004 (10:56 am)
Santa Fe" SUV for the future. Hyundai will be popping out several new models in the next several years and a bigger SUV is on the design plate right now.
#14 of 1439 Larger than Santa Fe by jchan2 Jan 12, 2004 (6:53 pm)
model could possibly be a rebadged Sorento. I've heard Hyundai is thinking of designing a minivan, which would also spawn a Kia cousin, to replace the current poor MPG Sedona.

yeah i think tucson is to compete with the cr-v and rav4. so will the new sportage. the next santa fe will be larger and i am hoping it would be something like highlander and pilot size. i think you are correct they are working on bringing a new truck based suv something like explorer in size. the new minivan which will be based on next generation sonata platform. autoweek had a good article on future products from hyundai several months back.   so have you decided what your next vehicle is going to be yet?
#16 of 1439 saber86-you know it's going to be by iluvmysephia1 Jan 13, 2004 (10:22 am)
South Korean. My '01 Sportage 4x4 has around 63,800 miles and is running very strong. Things are changing so fast in the industry and more offerings are appearing so fast that my "futures" list changes, or grows, almost monthly. My wife and I both like sitting up a little higher like in the Sportage so the new-gen Sportage is probably my front-runner(as well as Hyundai's Tucson). I still LOVE the Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 and I'm taking a look at the new Kia Spectra debuting in March. Lastly, I like the Chevrolet Aveo hatch...something tells me that car is quickly going to become the best value in a new car in America(actually every car I've mentioned in this category is a great value-the Aveo's just the lowest costing one). How about you-you gonna pull the trigger anytime soon? BTW-I'm a year or two away from trading in at least!

I know what you mean about sitting up higher with suv than driving a car. Sometimes I drive my wifes o2 cr-v and i do like sitting up higher. I have a camary now and will wait to see what the new santa fe looks like. I am hoping it would be size of pilot/highlander or maybe little bigger.
#18 of 1439 2006 Hyundai Tiburon Convertible (Tuscani) by insomnia610 Jan 15, 2004 (8:58 am)
Hi folks in America... Hyundai finally decided to build the new hardtop convertible.. http://www.cetizen.com/bbs/zboard.php?id=board&no=20352&b- - _type=&category=2&c_type= i am kinda excited to see that because only cars that i see in Korea are Hyundai, Kia and GM Daewoo... i see some bmw, lexus, audi and benz around in there days and there is no korean made convertible yet... I went to Washington state about a couple months ago, and i saw these korean cars... and i checked them out... they were hyundai elantra and sonata and i was kind of surprised, because they were equipped with crappy stuffs... i just got my elantra, and its equipped with dvd navigation, mp3 player, ABS and traction control, leather seats, and climate control. I paid about 21000 US dollars.. well good times folks
#19 of 1439 insomnia610-yeah, we in America have been known to by iluvmysephia1 Jan 15, 2004 (9:49 pm)
get kinda short-changed on appointments in our South Korean cars. What brought you to Washington state, vacation? I'm just curious, that's my home state where I was born. About the Elantra, people here are paying $12,000-$14,000 for their Elantra's in US funds but they're lacking some of the things you enjoy there in South Korea.  Good to hear that the Hyundai Tiburon CCS(Coupe Concept Study) is going to become a reality and the Tiburon Convertible is really going to be real!
#20 of 1439 The new Hyundai Tucson debuts at by iluvmysephia1 Feb 05, 2004 (6:13 pm)
the Chicago Auto Show yesterday. The compact Tucson will be Hyundai's new entry-level truck, execs revealed. The 2005 Tucson arrives this summer with a choice of four-cylinder or V-6 engines, a flexible interior and all-wheel drive available. The interior seats five; the rear bench splits and folds forward, and when coupled with the folded front passenger seat, creates a longer cargo area than some compact utes. The engines availabe will be as follows: 2.0-liter four and front-wheel drive in base GL models; GLS and LX models get the company's 2.7-liter V-6. All of the new Tucson's come with six airbags, including side curtains for both rows, standard. AWD drive can be ordered with either engine. Four-wheel disc brakes are also standard, along with 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, power windows and door locks, tinted glass, and roof rack side rails.

Not a bad design. I like what I see in the pictures. The 2.0 seems a little underpowered compared to the competition, but they do offer the V6 option. I'd like to see Hyundai upgrade their engine power in the future; not necessarily to the level of Nissan, but hopefully to the level of Toyota.
#22 of 1439 I read today that the new Hyundai Tucson small by iluvmysephia1 Feb 07, 2004 (10:43 am)
SUV will be built upon the Hyundai Coupe platform. I was reading from a Hyundai UK website. Interesting nonetheless...the Hyundai Coupe, of course, is the same car as the Hyundai Tiburon in the U.S. The Tucson will be built using monocoque construction and will sit on a highly-modified version of the Hyundai Coupe platform. Feel free to help research this out more fully for the U.S. market as I am speaking of the Hyundai Tucson for sale in the UK. In the UK they will be able to order one with gas or diesel engines and either 2WD or 4WD choices. Hyundai is banking on the diesel engine to be the engine of choice there. There will be a 5-speed manual tranny or 4-speed semi-automatic. The Tucson uses a "torque-on-demand' 4WD system. The car will run in FWD until it detects loss of traction, at which time the 4WD will cut in. It will revert to 2WD when adequate traction is again detected. In addition, at speeds of up to 30kph, the driver can select a permanent 4x4 for extra control when needed at the touch of a button.     The UK Hyundai Tucson will go on sale there in the fall with prices starting at 15,000. Pounds or Euro's for that 15,000 price? Dunno.     Hyundai will hopefully bring a lot of this feature content to the U.S. Torque-on-demand should be a popular feature here in the U.S.
