Advancing technology brings safer vehicles. The Hyundai SmartSense safety system consists of safety technology that is designed to keep you aware and away from danger on every drive. While you’re searching for your ideal Hyundai, keep an eye out for the safety features you’d like to have in your vehicle. We’ve laid out several of the features found in the Hyundai SmartSense safety package, so you can learn which active safety features are available and how they work. 

Blind-Spot Collision Warning

The blind-spot collision warning system will alert you when a vehicle appears in your blind spot while your turn signal is active. The system will even apply the brakes if it detects that you are on course to collide with the hidden vehicle.

Driver Attention Warning

The driver attention warning system will learn your driving patterns. If you begin to show signs that you’re not paying attention to the road or possibly experiencing drowsiness, the system will alert you audibly and visually to catch your attention or keep you alert.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

The forward collision-avoidance assist system acts like another set of eyes on the road ahead of you. Using radar and a front camera, the system can detect whether you’re on course to collide with the vehicle in front of you. The system will warn you of the potential collision, so you can apply the brakes, or it will automatically engage them for you to avoid the collision or reduce injury. You can also find forward collision-avoidance assist paired with pedestrian detection, so you can avoid colliding with pedestrians that cross into your intended driving path.

If you want the power and performance of a pickup truck but you like the style of Hyundai, you’re in the luck. The auto manufacturer has recently announced that its first pickup truck will hit the market in 2021. As you wait for this exciting addition to the Hyundai lineup, here’s everything you need to know about the 2021 Santa Cruz. 

Sporty Exterior Style

If you tend to haul mountain bikes and kayaks instead of cinder blocks and boats, the 2021 Hyundai Santa Cruz is the perfect truck for you. The pickup will share the same basic structure as the mid-size crossover Santa Fe. It will feature a unibody design that will have one bed length and come as a four-door crew cab. Like plenty of other recent Hyundai models, you should expect the Santa Cruz to showcase a modern design with sharp creases, planed surfaces, and a bold front end.

Plenty of Power for Fun

While we know the Hyundai Santa Cruz will be ready for all types of adventures, the car manufacturer hasn’t confirmed what type of engine will be powering those journeys. However, since the Santa Cruz will be sharing a platform with the Santa Fe, some auto experts believe the two could also share engines. These engine options would include the standard 2.4-liter that delivers 185 horsepower and the available 2.0-liter that churns out a turbocharged 235 horsepower. The truck should also come standard with front-wheel drive and offer an optional all-wheel-drive system. Read the rest of this entry »

When the 2021 Hyundai Tucson hits the market, it will definitely be sporting some bold new looks. The popular compact SUV may deliver some new features as well. If you’ve been thinking about getting the Tucson, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming model. 

Striking New Appearance

The 2021 Hyundai Tucson is getting a daring new redesign that should shake up the compact SUV segment. The Tucson shares the same frame as the Hyundai Santa Fe, and the new SUV may also borrow features from the larger Hyundai Palisade.

In the front, the new Tucson will likely sport a distinctive front grille and a split-headlight design that puts the daytime running lights high on the fascia and the headlights closer to the bumper. The body will also showcase more angular lines for plenty of extra style.

Luxurious Touches Inside

Since the bold new looks on the outside of the Hyundai Tucson hint at a slightly larger SUV, you should expect a little extra room on the inside. The current Tucson can already seat up to five people and offers 61.9 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seats folded down, so you know the new model will provide plenty of space. Plus, since some of the latest sedans and SUVs from Hyundai that received a redesign have included thoughtfully designed interiors with luxurious features, it’s easy to see why many industry experts expect the same in the Tucson.
