Third row seats!

I bought this 2009 Santa Fe SE brand new because it has great power (240 hp), great handling, and three row seating, complete with air conditioning and heat in all three rows and side/curtain airbags in all three rows. It also has a USB port - keep all your mp3 songs on a USB key, control which songs you listen to using the radio, and the title/artist even shows up on the radio screen.

The black paint with beige interior looks absolutely fantastic together. It has all weather floor mats to protect the carpet. The car has power driver seat (manual passenger seat).

The vehicle has an automatic transmission with sport-shift (let's you choose your gear) and 60,000 miles.

I love this vehicle. It's relatively small, for an SUV, which means it gets pretty good gas mileage and it's pretty sporty and fun to drive. Yet it's big enough to have 3 rows of seating. I'm selling it because I'm trading it for something smaller and even sportier.

The vehicle has two small blemishes: a tear in one armrest/door handle in the second row, and one wheel has been scuffed from a slow-speed curb scrape during parallel parking (see pictures). Otherwise, only wear typical of a 5-year-old, 60,000 mile vehicle.

The vehicle has been well-maintained; all service has been done according to the maintenance schedule by the local Hyundai dealer. Tires replaced at 45,000 miles. No accidents. Non-smoker. Title in hand.

The power train is still under factory warranty (10 years/100,000 miles).

Features include power windows, power locks, power and heated mirrors, Compact Disc Drive with wma/mp3 capability, USB port, Aux jack, 8 way power driver's seat (including lumbar), auto-dimming rear view mirror with Homelink garage door opener and compass, all weather floor mats, 3rd row seating with A/C and heat, Side and curtain airbags in all three rows, traction control, vehicle stability control, 4 wheel disc brakes with electronic brake-force distribution (sends most braking power to wheels with most grip), cruise control, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, privacy glass, roof rack, alloy wheels, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and remote keyless entry (I have both fobs).

2013 Hyundai ix35 is a freshened-up Euro-Tucson

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

In places that aren't the United States, Hyundai calls its Tucson compact crossover the ix35. And as part of its Geneva Motor Show presence, the Korean automaker has debuted this freshened version of the C-segment CUV, showing some minor tweaks to an otherwise attractive package.
The most noticeable changes are found up front, where a revised grille slots in between newly designed headlamps that now feature LED running lights. Around back, the taillamps have also been given the nip/tuck treatment, and it appears some redesigned wheels have been included in this update, as well.
Hyundai has fitted its ix35 with a new, direct-injected version of its 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine (with undisclosed power figures, natch). And when it comes time to put that power to the road, driver's will be able to use a new selectable electric power steering system similar to what's on the Elantra GT and Santa Fe Sport, with normal, comfort and sport modes.

Kia EV9 wins 2024 World Car of the Year and World Electric Car at New York Auto Show

Wed, Mar 27 2024

The Hyundai Group refuses to release its kung-fu grip on winning prestigious vehicle awards, especially those for electric vehicles. In 2020, Kia took the overall World Car of the Year (WCOTY) title with the Telluride, won World Performance Car with the EV6 GT, and won the World Urban Car category with the Kia Soul EV. In 2021, after the Hyundai Group walked away with nothing but a free lunch, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 won the 2022 World Car of the Year laurels, plus World Electric Vehicle and World Car Design of the Year, followed in 2023 by the Hyundai Ioniq 6 winning the same three awards. Kia returns to the top step today, the new EV9 announced at the New York Auto Show as the 2024 World Car of the Year and World Electric Vehicle. Because the South Koreans like to do this in threes, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N won World Performance Car. One hundred automotive scribes from 29 countries tested 38 vehicles for the main prize. The qualifications for entry are that a car must exceed 10,000 units in production annually, be on sale in at least two major global markets, and be priced below the luxury options in their respective regions. The EV9 beat the BYD Seal and the Volvo EX30 to the WCOTY title. Thirty-two cars vied for honors in the electric category, the EV9 outdoing the BMW i5 and the Volvo EX30. The German and the Swede aren't leaving New York with nothing, however, as the BMW 5 Series and i5 won the World Luxury Car title, and the EX30 won the World Urban Car trophy. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N outdid 16 other performance cars. We're sure there are engineers in Germany looking hard into their beer right now, the Ioniq 5 N pipping the M2 and XM to the victory circle. The surprise of the bunch is the inclusion of the Toyota Prius, the global hybrid icon thrashing 70 other entries to win the 2024 World Car Design of the Year award. The other two finalists? The Ford Bronco and the Ferrari Purosangue. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Prius.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:

Fun Small Sporty Black Suv; 3rd Row Seating; Usb; Three Rows; One Owner on 2040-cars
