Hyundai News – What to Look Forward to in 2021 & 2022

Hyundai is a well-developed brand in the automotive industry and a trusted company that produces dependable vehicles with high-class amenities. The classic style Hyundai brings to the market and the competitive features regularly included as standard for Hyundai make every new release an event. Catch up on changes that are coming up for Hyundai’s 2021 lineup of vehicles and a couple of surprises to expect for 2022. You have a lot to look forward to with these updates. 

2021 Lineup Updates, Changes, and News

There’s no stopping Hyundai! With an eye toward the future, this renowned company is consistently improving upon its already tremendous and trustworthy selection of vehicles. Although some standard changes are expected, such as color updates and moves toward more environmentally friendly and sustainable materials, some changes are refreshing and equally surprising. Hyundai indicated that we can expect the following updates and alterations to its current lineup. Get a heads-up with this updated information so you can plan ahead!

Hyundai Accent

The Hyundai Accent is getting a more contemporary look inside. The traditional Linen Beige color we’ve come to associate with the Accent has been dropped, and the more modern Urban Gray has been replaced by the also-modern New Forge Gray. The updated 1.6 liter I-4 and CVT automatic has improved the sedan’s overall performance and fuel efficiency, reaching 33 mpg for city driving and 41 mpg on the highway. The Hyundai Accent remains a high-value vehicle that won’t hit your wallet as hard as other vehicles. The updated color adds a touch of modernized class to a classic ride. 

Hyundai Elantra

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra has been given a body redesign with a more angular appearance and a sporty feel. Unfortunately, Hyundai discontinued the Elantra GT, so the vehicle is no longer available as a hatchback. However, a hybrid version now joins the lineup, so Elantraloyals can now transition to a more environmentally friendly version of a trusted favorite. With an estimated 50 mpg, you’ll save lots on gas and decrease the total cost of ownership (TCO) considerably.

 Those who love a fast drive will have to wait until later in the year for the release of the 201-horsepowerElantra N Line, an easy-to-handle Elantra with a sport-tuned transmission and summer tires. Buyers can elect to get a manual transmission. You can also expect cool technology features such as the ability to use your smartphone as a key. 

Hyundai Veloster

The beloved and unique HyundaVeloster has a few updates to be excited about. The Performance package that was available on only some models previously is now a standard component of all Veloster N cars. The 275-horsepower capability has a limited-slip differential and oversized brake pads to help reduce the temperature of brake calipers, pads, and fluid. The six-speed manual remains a standard on the Veloster, but you can now find some models with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Hyundai’s SmartSense Driver assistance suite is standard with all Veloster N models. These updates familiar with or interested in the Ioniq can expect a slight color change, from the typical Summit Gray to the new Amazon Gray. This little hatchback has a chromed-out grille, LED daytime running lights that resemble fangs, and a redesigned interior with a 10.3-inch touchscreen for usability. Per charge, you can expect to travel about 170 miles, which makes this little machine a great option for daily commutes and road trips. A plug-in hybrid joins the family and is a perfect option to benefit from the best of both worlds. 

Hyundai Sonata: Car enthusiasts are abuzz about the new Hyundai Sonata N Line version. This little sedan handles like a dream because of the performance-minded suspension and brake-based torque vectoring. For a midsize vehicle, the Hyundai Sonata maneuvers easily feature a smooth ride and have a comfortable yet stylish interior. This modernized chariot has a look that differentiates it from others and provides plenty of technological amenities to help drives be safe on the road. 

New Hyundai Tucson of 2022

There’s a lot that competitors can learn from the newly designed and soon-to-be-released 2022 Hyundai Tucson. Its aerodynamic lines make the large SUV appear less boxy, and the front grille is a modernized update. Engineers and designers integrated daytime running lights and turn signals seamlessly and molded them well with the body of the vehicle. They both turn to black when you shut the Tucson down. 

You’ll find a large arc design in the interior of the Tucson that begins with the dashboard and wraps around the cabin. This design concept provides a sense of unity, is easy on the eyes, and calms the mind. The Tucson is extremely roomy inside and has touch-sensitive panels to help drivers and passengers reach their desired comfort level. The Tucson also has the fun technology you expect from Hyundai, with driver assistance technologies, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance systems. 

Hyundai will launch the Tucson in conventional and hybrid powertrains, with a plug-in hybrid option to follow later in the year. It’s an adventure vehicle with enough power to take out on the road for family adventures or brave city traffic to get the kids to their soccer game on time.
