It should come as no surprise that Hyundai is debuting a thrilling new all-electric model, considering the brand made a commitment to introduce 23 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and sell 1 million BEV units by 2025. The first vehicle in that lineup is the all-new IONIQ 5 — an electric crossover utility vehicle set to disrupt the EV market with its impressive capabilities.
“IONIQ 5
introduces the Hyundai brand to a whole new set of buyers,” said José Muñoz,
president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. “Once behind the steering wheel,
they are going to be shocked by the range, power, comfort, interior space, and
advanced technology. Owning one is going to be a new experience and lifestyle
that only the IONIQ brand can provide.”
One of
those shocking abilities is ultra-fast 800-volt charging that gets the IONIQ 5
from 10 to 80 percent in only 18 minutes. On top of that, the CUV is expected
to reach a top driving range of 300 miles.
Inside, the
E-GMP design platform utilizes space, driving dynamics, and performance to
provide an enjoyable drive every time you get behind the wheel. Hyundai has
also filled the IONIQ 5 with smart technologies to help you stay connected and
safe. Some of those features include a Head-Up Display with Augmented Reality
mode, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and many Hyundai SmartSense
driver-assist systems.
Hyundai recently revealed the newest addition to its performance-oriented N lineup: the KONA N SUV. Boasting turbo power, track-inspired design, and visionary tech, the KONA N easily lives up to the N Brand’s new motto: “Never just drive.” is the automaker’s first high-performance SUV.
Engine
As Hyundai’s first high-performance SUV, the KONA N delivers both muscle and track-ready handling. The 2.0-litre turbocharged GDI engine is paired with a wet dual-clutch eight-speed transmission. This powertrain puts out 276 standard horsepower and has the potential to make up to 286 horsepower.
Technology
Inside, the KONA N comes with a new 10-inch touch-screen infotainment system, along with an exclusive racing head-up display that gives the driving experience a game-like dimension. N mode design is highlighted on the new infotainment system, communicating vital information like lap time and N track maps. You can even toggle custom modes with ease using customizable N buttons.
Exterior
On the outside, the KONA N’s powerful presence hints at its
dynamic driving spirit. Body-coloured fenders and 19-inch wheels give the KONA
N a wide, confident stance. It also comes with a newly developed exclusive
Sonic Blue exterior colour that helps it stand out on the road.
The Hyundai KONA N is coming soon to Downtown Hyundai in Toronto. Contact us to learn more or to find out how you can reserve a KONA N for yourself.
Hyundai is turning the automotive industry on its head. The carmaker recently unveiled its highly anticipated 2022 Santa Cruz, a Sport Adventure Vehicle that raises the bar in the SUV, truck, and crossover segments.
The Santa Cruz has a unique exterior design that straddles the
line between SUV and pickup truck. From the front, this Hyundai has a wide,
sculpted hood that is reminiscent of a rugged SUV. When you approach it from
the rear, though, you will find a truck bed that provides versatility, allowing
you to use the Santa Cruz for camping adventures, home improvement projects,
and more.
Inside, a refined design contrasts with the rugged exterior.
The Santa Cruz comes outfitted with innovative technologies like an edgeless
10-inch infotainment screen in the centre console. The front seats boast a
dual-cockpit design, and the rear seats offer convenient storage compartments
underneath.
Under the hood of the 2022 Santa Cruz, you can choose two
powertrain options. The standard is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that puts
out over 190 horsepower and over 180 lb-ft of torque. A 2.5-litre turbocharged
engine is also available, putting out over 275 horsepower and over 310 lb-ft of
torque.
The Santa Cruz will also come available with HTRAC®
all-wheel-drive capability. It can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly
equipped.

Keeping your car organized isn’t always easy, especially when life seems to just get busier all the time. To help you with this task, we’ve put together these vehicle organization tips.
Keep a Garbage Can in your Car
To prevent used tissues, empty coffee cups, and other rubbish from piling up in your cupholders and footwells, place a garbage can or garbage bag in your car. There are plenty of options out there to choose from, so find the one that fits your needs best.
Put a Laundry Basket in your Trunk
Consider keeping a laundry basket in the trunk to make your life easier. This is a great way to keep all your groceries in one place — and even carry them all into the house at the same time. You can also use the basket to keep other items in your trunk organized.
Store Plastic Grocery Bags in a Tissue Box
You never know when you might need a grocery bag to hold wet clothes, dirty diapers, or trash. Why not keep some in your car? Stuff them in an empty tissue box so they’re all in one convenient spot.
Use Silicone Cupcake Wrappers to keep your Cupholders Clean
Cupholders can gather random items on the go from spare change to straw wrappers and beyond. Keeping a silicone cupcake wrapper in your cupholders makes cleaning up these items easier. All you have to do is take it out and empty it.
To make sure your vehicle is running smoothly to go along with its freshly organized status, contact our service department at Downtown Hyundai in Toronto to get caught up on all your scheduled maintenance milestones.

Knowing the differences between the 2021 Hyundai Elantra and Sonata can help you make the right call for your particular needs.

value for the price. The smaller Elantra, with a starting MSRP under $18,000,1

first car. The Hyundai Sonata starts just over $27,000 MSRP,2 making
it one of the more affordable options in the midsize sedan segment.

still great if you like to bring friends along for the ride. If you have a
growing family, the midsize Sonata is larger and more spacious.

Driving in winter weather can be difficult, but living in Toronto means it’s a fact of life. Whether you’re taking on icy roads or gusts of snow and wind, these winter driving safety tips will help you feel safer and more confident behind the wheel.
Learn How To Get Out Of A Skid
Slick roads can easily cause your car to skid. Luckily, there are ways to get your car out of a skid or lessen its severity. For front skids, ease off the gas pedal and steer in the direction you want to go. With a rear skid, simply turn your steering wheel in the direction you want to go. Remember, keep your feet off the pedals when this is happening.
Avoid Slamming On Your Brakes Or Accelerating Quickly
If it’s slippery out, you want to avoid fast movements with your vehicle. So, avoid slamming on your brakes when you need to stop quickly. Instead, pump them. It will help stop your vehicle while also preventing a skid from occurring. Also, make sure you accelerate slowly as you drive.
Increase Your Following Distance
To give you time to react to unexpected situations, make sure you drive slowly and keep a significant amount of distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
Clear Off Your Car Well
Snow and ice can build up on your vehicle when it’s sitting outside. Before you start driving, make sure your car’s windows, hood, taillights, and headlights are all clear of snow and ice. Also, make sure you clear off your car’s roof. You don’t want to affect the visibility of the driver behind you!
It’s also important to keep up with scheduled maintenance during the winter months. For all your cold-weather car care needs, make an appointment with our expert service department at Downtown Hyundai in Toronto.
