Hi Dan, We appreciate your suggestion, but like you guessed it right that changing domain name is usually not an easy task from search engine and popularity perspective. It's been 3 year and we are receiving plenty of members from UAE and even from neighboring countries, as domain name doesn't limit the reach or accessibility. Thanks for the suggestion.

The word “Terracan” is made with two words, Terra-, which means earth, and Khan(can) meaning King. So Terracan means the King of the earth. Hyundai company had named it hoping that Terracan would indeed become the king of the earth, and king of all other SUVs. Restyled and upgraded at its mid-life, the Terracan is more refreshing in exterior and interior with additional convenience features providing excellent comfort to go-anywhere toughness. Reengineering from the ground up in the pursuit of stylish outer look and comfort to go anywhere, the Terracan’s newly designed front and rear gives a strong and dependable outer feature. Furthermore, Terracan offers more than just the best interior space package in class. The Terracan is offered with the 3.5-litre V6 producing 200 bhp and 302 Nm of torque and a choice of five-speed manual or four-speed auto transmissions. Standard equipment and accessories include driver and front passenger airbags, ABS anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, side steps, a rear limited-slip differential, climate control, front and rear electric window, alloy wheels, a radio/CD player, an alarm and fog lamps. The Terracan may not be the most state-of-the-art in terms of handling, ride or cabin design, but it’s a thoroughly competent workhorse. If you think that 4x4s have gone soft these days, over-burdened with unnecessary new-fangled electronic aids, then this could be the 4×4 for you – a good, simple, honest mud-plugger that’s also a decent drive on the road. Built on a separate body-on-frame chassis, like ‘proper’ off-roaders of old, the Terracan isn’t amazingly refined, but it’s a lot more comfortable than expected. Great equipment, thoughtful design and exceptional quality blend into a uniquely practical feeling of inner contentment. In designing Terracan comfort both on and off the highway was a prime motivator. First introduced in the spring of 2001, the Terracan has come to represent itself as the top of the line Hyundai SUV and its performance and design has been continuously improved. Body Type 4X4 Price (in AED) 70,000-86,000 Engine Size (litre) 3.5 Power (bhp) 200 Torque (Nm) 302 Transmission 4A/5M SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/hyundai-terracan/

The Accent sits alongside the i30 in Hyundai’s small family category, but is offered either as a four-door sedan or high-specification three-door hatchback. It has been on sale in the UAE since 2006, though has been mildly refreshed for 2010. It’s a no-nonsense family car that whilst being short on fripperies, should prove to be a dependable means of getting from A to B. As a sedan, it’s not quite as practical as the five-door hatchback i30, though is capable of carrying four people in comfort – five at a pinch. The interior isn’t anything special and is certainly a little lacking compared to Hyundai’s more modern efforts like the i10 and i30. Hyundai has really raised its game over the past couple of years, but unfortunately the Accent is still from the old stable of cars. That’s not to say the Accent doesn’t have its merits. It’s been designed with comfort in mind, and isn’t horrendous to look at. However, with the likes of the all-new Chevrolet Cruze having just arrived in the market in 2010, the Accent is showing its age. Admittedly, it’s a little more expensive, but the cost benefits of the Accent don’t really negate the bargain basement feel of the car. It looks and feels cheap – but thankfully it’s still rather cheap to buy if a little lacking in equipment. Even the highest specification level cars are only fitted with one airbag for the driver and miss out on other commonplace features such as remote central locking.

The Azera is a large sedan from Hyundai that competes with the likes of the Toyota Avalon and Nissan Maxima. The Azera has been on the market since 2006 and sat as the flagship of the Hyundai range until the arrival of the much bigger Genesis in late 2008. But even though it no longer on top of the Hyundai family tree, the Azera is still an impressive car. With V6 power in three forms – a 2.7-litre with 192bhp, a 3.3-litre sporting 235bhp and a 264bhp 3.8-litre – the Azera is designed to offer a smooth as silk driving experience. High quality materials are used throughout the Azera’s cabin and there’s plenty of space on offer for all those on board. The fact that this used to be the flagship model really shows. Comfort is the Azera’s number one priority and this is best experienced from the wide sculptured rear seat. The equipment fitted to the Azera is extremely impressive – especially considering the price. The top spec 3.8-litre GLS car gets sat-nav, a full leather interior, electric seats for driver and passengers, dual-zone fully automatic climate control air-conditioning, an electronically-operated rear curtain and automatic cruise control – plus plenty else. Even the entry-level 2.7-litre doesn’t miss out on the niceties with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and wood trim. On sheer value for money stakes the Azera is quite remarkable. Plus, on top of all of this, it receives a five-year or 100,000km warranty – the rest of the Hyundai range (with the exception of the Genesis) receives only three-years worth of warranty.

The Centennial is the flagship model for Hyundai and uses the excellent Genesis sedan as its base. It’s new to the Middle East market in 2010 and is designed to be the Korean manufacturer’s alternative to the likes of a Lexus LS460h, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Audi A8. It’s quite a heady claim, but if the Genesis is anything to go by, we wouldn’t put it past Hyundai succeeding with the Centennial. The styling is fairly unadventurous considering some of the designs within the Hyundai family at the moment, and there’s definitely some hints of rival cars in some of the angles – the rear in particular is very similar to the Lexus LS’s. However, when you’re target buyer is looking for something to cosset them around as they sit in the back or prove relaxing on the long drive they don’t want to stand out from the crowd so blending in is a good thing. Power is provided by a 4.6-litre V8 with 375bhp and 451Nm of torque. Though the engine is rather potent, it’s been tuned to deliver its power in a smooth and controlled fashion to ensure swift by unruffled progress by the big sedan. Having the ability to overtake other road users with the merest flexing of the accelerator pedal is an added bonus. Given its target audience, the Centennial has to major on two things – high levels of equipment and exemplary comfort. Thankfully, Hyundai has designed to deliver just that with luxury car features fitted as standard. The Lexicon audio system is shared with the top-end Genesis in some markets, and one extremely high-end luxury car indeed – the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Therefore, you can be in no doubt that the audio quality on the move it second to none. SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-hyundai-centennial/

There was a time when Hyundai was on its own in selling an affordable two-door coupe as part of its mainstream line-up. However, in the past couple of years we’ve seen a vast array of alternatives arrive on the market – there’s Nissan’s Altima Coupe, the Honda Accord Coupe and the Kia Cerato Koup to name just three. Hyundai itself has introduced another coupe to its stable in the shape of the Genesis Coupe – however, that car is a very different machine from this original coupe – it’s rear-wheel drive for a start. This front-wheel drive Hyundai Coupe has been sold in many markets around the world since 2002. However, it’s undergone numerous facelifts and tweaks over the years and is now a 2009 model. It’s a pretty impressive looking machine – at it’s original launch its styling was compared to that of a Ferrari 456GT because of its sculptures side profile, rear arches and curved roof. However, the resemblances to an Italian stallion end there – mainly due to the fact that the Coupe is offered with just two engine choices, neither of which is a fire-breathing V8. The most potent engine is the 2.7-litre V6 with 167bhp, though the four-speed automatic gearbox takes a significant portion of that power away from the wheels. It’s much more of a cruiser than an out-and-out sports car, but remains a cheap-and-cheerful alternative to many other coupes on the market. Even though it’s slower, it’s arguably the 2.0-litre that’s the sweeter choice. SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-hyundai-coupe/

In the rather large line-up of cars that Hyundai offers in the region, the Elantra sits at the smaller end in terms of size. It’s a four-door sedan designed to take on the likes of the Mazda3 and Toyota Corolla. It’s not going to raise your pulse when you look at it, nor when you drive it. However, it should provide plenty of fuss-free kilometres of ownership and keep you feeling rather smug and relaxed with your purchase. It might be a bit bland, but the Elantra better than some might give it credit for. It’s actually pretty well composed out on the road, the engine note is refined – though can become a little vocal at speed, and the cabin is actually big enough for real adults to sit in relative comfort. Admittedly, the interior fabrics aren’t quite up to scratch compared to what’s offered by the Japanese rivals, but for the money, you shouldn’t really complain. There are two engine choices – a 1.6-litre with 121bhp and a 2.0-litre with 143bhp. A four-speed automatic gearbox does a reasonable job of delivering power to the front wheels, and although you can specify a five-speed manual gearbox on the smaller-engined car, it’s going to be a tricky choice to sell on a few years down the line. The Elantra is quite a cheap car and this is really made clear in the equipment levels of the car – or rather, the lack of equipment. Apart from a sole airbag for the driver, manual air-conditioning and a basic music system, there really isn’t much in the way of kit on the Elantra. However, as a cheap way to get around it’s a better choice than some of the options from China. SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-hyundai-elantra/

For many years the Korean auto giant was quite happy producing cheap and cheerful supermini, small family cars and the occasional SUV. However, back in 2008, Hyundai launched the Genesis saloon – it’s attempt at a mid-size luxury sedan to take on the likes of the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Cadillac CTS. And for a first real attempt in this sector, it’s rather impressive. The Genesis has a rear-wheel drive chassis, and is powered by a potent 3.8-litre V6 engine which delivers plenty of performance out on the road. There’s a six-speed automatic gearbox with manual override should you wish to get more involved in the driving. The four-door sedan offers up plenty of space for all those onboard – rear-seat passengers are certainly well taken care of. Comfort on the move is very impressive with softly-sprung springs providing a relaxed ride, however there’s still enough stiffness in the suspension to ensure the Genesis can handle itself on twisty stretches. Equipment levels are extremely high, especially for the reasonable price Hyundai is asking for the car. The top spec ‘full option’ car gains such kit as leather seats, rear parking camera and sensors, a six DVD changer stereo complete with iPod connectivity and even an electronic rear blind system to keep prying eyes at bay. If you want quality, space and performance all wrapped up in a seriously good value for money package, you can’t really get much better than the Genesis. European buyers may struggle to look past the Hyundai badge on the rear, but badge snobbery shouldn’t really put you off one of the most surprising of modern day cars.

Can Hyundai really make a sports car? Well, on the basis of the 2010 Genesis Coupe the answer is an astounding yes. The ingredients are all there for a great car to really enjoy driving. There’s a powerful V6 engine nestled under the short bonnet, the power – a healthy 303bhp – is sent to the rear wheels via a quick-to-react six-speeed automatic gearbox, and the wheelbase is short to ensure the Genesis Coupe turns as quickly as you’d like it to. In comparison to the likes of the modern-day muscle cars such as the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, the Hyundai Genesis looks like a slightly left field but impressive alternative. Think of it as Hyundai’s attempt at making a car like the Nissan 370Z. However, unlike the Nissan, Hyundai is offering the Genesis Coupe at a attractive price point. The Genesis Coupe has proved to be a big hit amongst the younger car buyers in America – it even competes in national Drift Championship events against the likes of highly -strung Japanese and American tuned cars. However, even straight out of the box, the Genesis Coupe aims to deliver on the driving scale. The steering is quick and direct, the V6 engine eager to deliver its performance, and the chassis is designed to work with – rather than against the driver. There’s space inside the Genesis Coupe for four – though we’d recommend the rear seats are really only for those who are still in the growing stages – and there’s space in the generous boot for plenty of bags of shopping. There’s a punchy stereo with all the required connections technologies to keep even the most geek-tastic of drivers happy. SOURCE: http://automiddleeast.com/2010-hyundai-genesis-coupe/
