With the all-new Azera, Hyundai is not only able to best its competition, but has continued to offer exceptional value and even challenge some premium models with impressive content and style.

Functional and fuel efficient with the flowing lines we expected from a Hyundai hatch, the Elantra GT surprises with fun.

With stand-out styling and that big 40-mpg number, Hyundai won’t have any trouble bringing customers into dealerships, and with an impressive interior and solid pricing, dealers should find it equally easy to send folks on their way in a new Elantra.

While a decent enough car, the Equus lacks the attention to detail and originality to pull a Lexus on Lexus. Good enough doesn’t cut it at this level.

The 2013 Genesis Coupe looks better, the power upgrade is impressive, plus driving dynamics have been improved. All these factors combine with the unique value packaging to make it not just a stand-out, but a stand-alone pick.

The Hyundai Genesis is a well engineered vehicle, offering a balanced package of luxury, performance, comfort and price.

It’s a game changer. The 2011 Sonata is more powerful and efficient than its competitors and has a look that is sure to revolutionize the mid-size segment. Plus, it has all the safety equipment you’d expect, and it’s enjoyable to drive.

With a massive leap forward in design, fuel economy, horsepower, interior materials and build quality, the 2010 Hyundai Tucson has managed to go from dead last to a contender at the front of the pack.

An impressive machine based on all the available statistics, the Veloster Turbo is undeniably fun but fails to deliver that wow factor. It delivers the goods on paper while in reality it isn’t too hard-edged and won’t scare off the average consumer. A hot hatch for all, enthusiasts need not apply.

The 2011 G25 is luxurious and engaging, and it looks the part too. It’s the kind of car you aspire to own. So a heart-felt thank you to Infiniti is in order, because now you can.

The JX’s drive is a bit less inspired than we’ve come to expect from Infiniti, but factor in the price, luxury, fuel economy, interior space and features and the newest three-row luxury crossover is instantly the best.

There’s a very real possibility that the QX56 could go from a niche player to the segment leader. It’s certainly got the goods to do so. Without a doubt, this is the best looking full-sized luxury SUV on the planet.
