Back in the old days, cars were so much simpler. If you wanted a faster ride, good old tuning and mechanical tinkering would help whereas nowadays you need a software degree and laptop. Now Hyundai South Africa has come up with something in between, a modern car with some sporty tuning.
The bang bus
As our first launch report for 2016, it’s only fitting that it should start with a bang. Bang for your buck, that is. In a market where small city runabouts long surpassed six figures and compact luxury sedans are pushing half a bar, it’s great to know that Hyundai’s updated H1 bus range represents excellent value.
(is jy bang vir die middelmannetjie?) So you live on a plaas but don’t have / want a 4×4. Here’s a list of affordable cars with high ground clearance that are not 4×4, SUV’s, AWD, Crossovers, Bakkies, LCV’s, etc.
Bargain basement, bottom drawer, cheap seats. None of these phrases evoke a positive feeling and most people wouldn’t want to hear them while shopping for a shiny new set of wheels. In our world of high efficiency and cool technology, some cars like the cheapest Hyundai i20 prove otherwise.
Today, the Hyundai Grand i10 and I would like to teach you a lesson. Don’t worry; it’s not the hurting kind but rather the opposite – small cars can be fun. The harsh reality is that practicality and price rule when your budget is tighter than two coats of paint but you shouldn’t settle for something cheap ‘n nasty.
‘n Ander opskrif vir die artikel miskien ‘n Noord-Kaapse sêding gewees het; “tussen die tjoep en die taaier.” Daar is net-net plek vir die paslaken tussen die twee bestaande modelle en dit is meer ‘n saak van die verskil in pryse as in grootte wat die nuwe aankomeling so welkom maak op ons mark.
By now, Hyundai’s success story is well documented and the Korean manufacturer has carefully crafted its tracks in the local motor industry. With over 50,000 units sold last year, Hyundai’s S.A. division ranks 13th worldwide and has helped the global brand from 6th to 5th position for car makers.
Om die Chinese motorindustrie te verstaan en te waardeer is dit noodsaaklik om ook die Chinese se besigheidskultuur en die benadering van die gewone Chinees op straat tot sy of haar daaglikse verbruikerslewe te verstaan.
Today I bring you news of the freshly face-lifted Hyundai i20 which, for most people, probably bears the same significance as a kitchen appliance sale at your local mall. So – for those of you in need of a new dishwasher, err car, you may want to read on.
