Hyundai H1 6 and 9 seater bus

The new H1 Multicab 6 and 9 -seater bus combines a practical workhorse to provide the comfort, drive and space and the quality features of a leisure vehicle.

This is Hyundai’s answer when a regular, car-based station wagon is just not big enough for your purposes. With a choice of nine seats, the bus is at home in business or in leisure roles-transporting a big family, a hotel shuttle, for tourists on sight-seeing trips or for taking sports club members (and all their gear) to a big event. The strong, modern exterior is complemented by a comfortable, convenient and spacious interior. And not forgetting it’s a Hyundai, providing reliability and economy are part of its DNA.

Hyundai’s design team has developed an interior equal of those in most of today’s high class passenger cars and with quality finishes one can appreciate the achievements of the designers, engineers and technicians.


Plenty of Space for all Types of Businesses
Hyundai’s latest van is the lifeblood of any business- a people carrier or collecting packages here and to deliver there, always against the clock, always with the utmost reliability.
With a spacious cargo area, low running costs and high levels of refinement, this is the vehicle for all businesses – your trusty business partner.
Versatility
The latest styles spill on to the street in either version, a great-looking vehicle created for van buyers who regularly need extra passenger space.
At the same time, the layout means there is still plenty of room in the back for cargo deliveries, professional working equipment, sports gear or holiday luggage.
Cabin comfort and refinement of the type normally associated with passenger cars are complemented by full length side windows. The combination makes this H-1 the right choice for a variety of work or leisure purposes.

Performance
Whether the operator selects the 2.4-litre multi-point injection petrol engine or 2.5-litre variable geometry turbo-diesel, the H-1 delivers excellent performance and fuel economy.

According to model and market, the vehicle features a five-speed manual or optional 5 speed automatic transmission. For optimum weight distribution and dynamic balance, the front-mounted engine powers the rear wheels.

Passive safety features include a sturdy body/chassis unit, a full complement of air bags and optional anti-lock brakes.



Hyundai Getz - A Super Mini Car

The Hyundai Getz is a supermini car produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai from 2002 to 2011.
Marketed world-wide (except in the United States, Canada and China) in three and five-door hatchback body styles.

First unveiled at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show, the Getz proved an instant hit with most who had the opportunity to view it up close. The styling is clean without being boring, devoid of the fussiness that mars many small cars.
The Getz offers lots of room, is well equipped and an impressively designed hatchback.
Only the five-door body-styles was offered in South Africa.

Engines


The 1.4-litre petrol engine is strong but the 1.5-litre diesel is excellent, if more expensive. All Getz are well stocked, which helps them compete with the likes of the Kia Rio and Citi Golf.


Comfort
The Korean company has succeeded in making the Getz feel more upmarket inside than you might expect. All-round packaging and practicality is good.
In the rear, it has lots of legroom, and is a feasible carrier for three thanks to a wide rear bench, lots of shoulder room and three full seatbelts and head restraints.
The seatback has two positions - reclined for relaxed passengers outright to maximise load space.
The boot is big too, and the split-fold rear seats create a large, flat load area. Space is adequate in the front, and the seating position comfortable, if somewhat high.
Quality is good and equipment levels high, while a low kerb-weight helps boost economy - particularly from the impressive four-cylinder diesel.
Driving
Through the corners, the Getz is capable and safe. It has a tendency to push its nose wide and understeer earlier than you perhaps would like, but body roll is well controlled.
However, the steering weights up while the Getz is cornering and seems particularly dead when you apply more lock. It's stable under braking despite a soft pedal, and offers a light, easy gearbox that's compromised by a long clutch pedal travel and high biting point. 


Petrol engines are smooth in town but can become whiney when pressed; the diesel, in contrast, is very refined at all times, and one of the smoothest in its sector.
Overall Rating
Although it's not a car that will create too many headlines, the Getz is a Hyundai you can take pride in. With sharp styling, a range of zippy engines and a class leading after sales package, the Getz is a sound bet.

Hyundai has made massive strides in the past decade. Whereas the badge once signified lowest common denominator motoring, it now stands for the best that south-east Asia can produce. In the compact shape of the Getz supermini Hyundai have a car that can mix it with the likes of the Opel Corsa, the Ford Fiesta and the Citroen C3. What's more it boasts lower running costs and sharper styling than any of these rivals, making it a very good used buy. 



Hyundai South Africa has now launched a new Hyundai Accent

Hyundai South Africa has now launched a new Hyundai Accent (now in its 7th generation) to complete the Accent range.

A large diamond-shaped grille and logo reveals the car’s new look, with the outer design complementing the ‘eagle-eye’ LED headlamps, whilst the front bumper adds to the vehicle’s robust profile and character

Overall Design Features

Hyundai’s 'fluidic sculpture design' philosophy has transformed the Accent into one of the best looking small cars on the market.

From every angle the new Accent looks so much better- from its large open-mouth hexagonal grille and swept-back headlights with a dipping roofline through to sculpted character lines in the side that give an aerodynamic look.

The Accent looks youthful with its road-hugging stance. From the rear there is very little to distinguish the Accent from likes of its sibling – the Elantra.

Both the Accent and the Elantra share the same DNA and the only way to tell them apart is the smaller stature of the Accent.

The new Accent is a worthy competitor in this aggressive market segment where firm sedan favourites like VW’s Polo Vivo and Chevrolet’s who currently dominate this sector. 


Engine

The Accent has been fitted with the new-generation 1.6-litre Gamma engine which produces 91kW of power at 6 300rpm, while its torque output reaches 156Nm, delivered at 4 200rpm.

Gearbox

Available in a 5-speed manual gearbox with a top speed of 190km/h, and doing the 0-100km/h shuffle should take around 10.2 seconds. Hyundai claims a fuel consumption of 6.1 litres/100km and CO2 emissions of 145g/km.

The Accent is also available with a 4-speed automatic transmission providing a maximum speed of 184km/h and 0 to 100km/h in 11.4 seconds. In terms of fuel consumption, it uses approximately 8.6 litres/100km.

Interior

Clever design work has made the Hyundai Accent surprisingly spacious inside and it feels like a much larger car than its dimensions suggest.

There's plenty of front headroom and despite the domed roof, there's good head-room in the back of the hatch, and even more in the sedan.

Rear legroom is reasonable although as is the norm rear and front seat occupants will need to haggle over seat settings if any are on the tall side. Three children are the only viable rear seat option.


The Y-shaped dashboard is neat, contemporary and functional. The rear seatbacks have a 60/40 and fold flat into a boot that is comparatively large (370 litres in the hatch and 465 litres in the sedan), easy to load and with a security screen. The spare wheel is full-sized.
Inside, the cabin is comfortable and spacious. Quality finishes greet all the occupants as well as a host of creature comforts.

Connectivity

Today being connected is the key to a convenient lifestyle, and while in your car this should be no different. The Accent ensures you are always in touch and connected to your favourite devices – without compromising your safety. The Accent provides constant connectivity through Bluetooth functionality and USB connectivity.


A stand out feature on the vehicle is its chassis. Seemingly built with purpose, it handles exceptionally well and the steering constantly supplies feedback conjuring up a comfortable and sporty ride.
Thanks to its lower suspension setting and increased chassis’ torsional stiffness, it inspired confidence whether on the open road or whether negotiating tight sweeping bends.

The Accent includes Hyundai’s well-known 5 year/150 000km warranty and 5 year/90 000km service plan.

The Beautiful Hyundai Elantra

The Hyundai Elantra has a lot to offer. It is very stylish, roomy on the inside, comfortably in accommodating four adults, and safe to drive having earned top scores in crash tests. Additionally it is very economical delivering up to 7.4 litres per 100 kms, and above all affordable on nearly any kind of budget.

The Elantra one of the best compact cars on the market today. Hyundai frequently delights customers with its style, fit and finish as well as content which is not always obvious or seen in the compact segment.

To boost fuel economy, Hyundai re-designed Elantra by reducing weight wherever possible.
By reducing the overall weight, Hyundai were able to introduce a 1.6 litre four-i
Hyundai buyers can now choose between a six-speed automatic transmission and a six-speed manual.


Hyundai's global goal is to become the world leader in fuel efficiency. The 1.6litre MPi petrol engine is equipped with dual continuously variable valve timing (D-CVVT) to boost horse power output and lower exhaust emissions while improving fuel economy to be the best in its class. The Elantra puts out 96kW at 6300rpm and has a maximum torque of 157Nm at 4850rpm to increase your driving confidence or assist you with carrying a heavy load.

Hyundai Elantra in Gauteng

The Hyundai Elantra is more about delivering value and economy. Drive quality is very good, even over rough surfaces and the interior is noticeably quieter than most non-luxury compact competitors.


The interior is another reason to choose the Elantra. Consider cutting-edge style and available features like a touchscreen infotainment system and voice-guided navigation, audio and phone controls to choose from.

It’s roomy and the interior volume is large enough to classify the Elantra as a mid-size car.
Both rows of seats have a reasonable amount of legroom, whilst taller passengers may find the second row seats to be lacking the required headroom. 


The Elantra Sedan’s crash test performance earned it “Top Safety Pick” honours from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. All 2013 Elantra sedans have achieved a five-star overall rating in NHTSA crash tests, with a four-star score for frontal impacts.

Today's Elantra has earned a place alongside the Ford Focus, the Chevrolet Cruze and Volkswagen Golf.
