Top 5 Hyundai reviews on AutoTrader

The Korean manufacturer continues to impress as they bring well-specified, mechanically sound products combined with excellent aftersales service to the SA market. Here are some of our top Hyundai articles on AutoTrader.
1. Hyundai SUVs come under the knife
Hyundai's SUV volume sellers, the Creta and larger Tucson, have recently enjoyed a facelift. We attended the local launch and tell you all about the newcomers' new bits and pieces. Should you go trade in your outgoing Tucson for a brand-spanking new one? Martin Pretorius gives you the skinny on both of these SUVs.
2. Hyundai i20 1.4 Active - A Korean Lara Croft?
Complete with roof racks, protective cladding, and a decent amount of ground clearance, the new Hyundai i20 1.4 Active is hell-bent on attracting the young and adventurous and leaving no dirt road unturned in doing so, but competition in this segment is cut-throat. Read more about the 1.4 Active derivative here, and whether it offers something that the other contenders don't.
Everyone's favourite Korean city car has recently benefitted from added spec and tech, and offers unbeatable value, as well as exemplary build quality in the segment, not to mention a surprising amount of rear legroom for adults in the back. To illustrate how easy the Grand i10 is to live with, I took my elderly parents on a shopping trip on a rainy day. If you're in the market for a small city car, be sure to read this review.
4. Hyundai's refreshed H1 - Everyone's favourite crew bus
If you plan on shuttling children/guest house patrons about on a regular basis, Hyundai's enhanced and improved H1 bus should be on your to-test-drive shortlist, particularly the H1 2.5 turbo-diesel version, with 125 kW and 441Nm (R629 900). Should you want an automatic gearbox and roughly the same kind of power figures, you'll have to fork out considerably more for the VW Kombi 2.0BiTDI SWB Comfortline, priced at R703 400. Chad Lückhoff attended the local launch of the H1, and you can read all about it here.
5. Road test: Hyundai Elantra 1.6 Turbo Elite Sport
While everyone's rushing to buy SUVs like the abovementioned Tucson and Creta, the humble sedan is at the back-end of the sales queue. But the well-priced, spacious, and peppy Elantra doesn't deserve to be overlooked. Join Chad Lückhoff as he reviews the Elantra on video, and find out why he's so impressed by what this particular Elantra offers.
