Hyundai Trajet

The Hyundai Trajet (Hangul: 현대 트라제 ; pronounced as tra-jay, derived from the French word, meaning "travel from one point to another"), ) is a 7-seater multi-purpose vehicle that is manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company. The series was launched in 1999 with the 2.0 GSI models and a choice of gasoline, diesel or LPG power, followed by the limited edition SE 2.7 V6 in 2001.

The Trajet models have three rows of seats. With a number of ingenious seating configurations, they allow for extra luggage space, and with easily removable seating, can accommodate larger items. The front seats can rotate through 180 degrees to face the passengers at the back when the car is stationary, and the back seats can also be turned into tables, making a virtual office space or picnic area.

Standard equipment for the 2.0 GSI and 2.0 CRTD GSI (diesel version) comprise driver, passenger and side airbags, ABS with EBD, power steering, seat belt pre-tensioners, front and rear air conditioning, electric front and rear windows, stereo RDS radio/CD unit, double folding second and third row seats (second and third row seats are removable), and sliding outer seats on second row.

The Trajet price range starts at £15,495 for the 2.0 GSI manual, rising to £18,345 for the 2.0 CRTD SE Automatic. With around £2,400 worth of extra equipment for only £1,000 more than the cost of the 2.0 GSI, however, the Trajet SE comes with a DVD player, privacy glass, SmartNav satellite navigation, and reversing sensors as standard. It is available with gasoline or diesel engines, and manual or automatic transmissions, prices starting at £16,495.

With the launch of the SE 2.7 V6, all previous Trajet models have been upgraded. The gasoline 2.0 GSI now benefits from the CVVT engine previously seen in the Coupe, increasing power from 133 to 139 bhp (99 to 104 kW), while CO2 emissions fall from 223 g/km to 208 g/km. Fuel consumption is also improved — the combined figure (average consumption on town and highway driving) rises from 30.4 mpg to 32.5 mpg, imperial gallons (9.3 to 8.7 L/100 km). All Trajets now feature a third three point seat belt in the rear, which means all passengers have the protection of a full seat belt.

Additionally, Hyundai models come with a full five-year unlimited mileage warranty which is transferable between owners. The manufacturer is still the only one in the UK to offer such warranties.The Trajet competes in the same market segment as Kia's Carnival, and Toyota's Previa.

Hyundai Elantra

The Hyundai Elantra (Korean: 현대 엘란트라), or Hyundai Avante (현대 아반떼) in South Korea, is a compact car from Hyundai of South Korea launched in October 1990 for the 1991 model year, and now in its fifth generation.

The Elantra was formerly marketed as the Lantra in Australia and some European markets. In Australia, this was due to the similarly named Mitsubishi Magna Elante model. This gave rise to disagreement from other motor manufacturers, and the name was standardized as "Elantra" worldwide in 2001 (with the exception being Korea and Malaysia still selling under the name "Avante").

The Elantra was powered by a Mitsubishi-designed 1.6 L (1596 cc) straight-4 This DOHC 16-valve 1.6 L unit produced 113 hp (84 kW) at 6000 rpm and could push the Elantra to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 9.5 seconds. The quarter-mile (0.4 km) run took 17.1 seconds and produced 80 mph (129 km/h). Top speed was 116 mph (187 km/h). The Elantra got 22 mpg[clarification needed](10.7 L/100 km) in the city cycle. Starting in 1993 there was also a Mitsubishi-designed 1.8 L (1836 cc) straight-4 engine available the 1.8L unit that produced 124 hp (99 kW) at 6000 rpm.

HYUNDAI LAUNCHES RHYS MILLEN RACING RED BULL DRIFT TEAM SPONSORSHIP AT CHICAGO AUTO SHOW

With enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the upcoming launch of the 2010 Genesis Coupe, Hyundai is adding to the excitement by teaming with Rhys Millen Racing and Red Bull Energy Drink to campaign the car in the high-energy sport of drift racing this year. At the Chicago Auto Show, Hyundai unveiled its motorsports program in the U.S. with the help of drift champion Rhys Millen, who will fabricate and race a 550-horsepower Genesis Coupe in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the Formula Drift Professional Drifting Championship and at select Redline Time Attack series events in 2009.

“Today’s announcement puts the Genesis Coupe into three great motorsports series,” said John Krafcik, acting president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America. “We like to refer to the Genesis Coupe as the sinister sibling to the North American Car of the Year, the Genesis sedan and we look forward to Rhys harnessing every ounce of energy in the Coupe as he campaigns it.”

Millen and his team are an ideal match to launch Hyundai’s racing efforts. Millen’s driving credentials include movie stunts, multiple drifting championships, a Pikes Peak world record and his recent New Year's Eve Las Vegas truck flip. But behind Millen’s success in the driver’s seat is a full team of engineers and fabricators that know how to maximize the potential of a race car.

Millen had his first opportunity to test drive the Genesis Coupe’s performance credentials when he performed precision driving for the car’s debut advertising campaign. Millen flogged a Genesis Coupe for three days during the filming process at Road Atlanta racetrack, and the car never missed a beat.

“The Genesis Coupe Concept inspired me to seek out a relationship with Hyundai and it has developed into multiple projects,” said Millen, professional race driver and founder of RMR. “The immediate focus is developing the RMR Red Bull Hyundai Genesis Coupe into a drift car with a 550-horsepower engine and a lightweight, rigid chassis. We are applying everything we know about fabricating into building this car.”
