2017 Hyundai IONIQ Hybrid & Electric Review - Duration: 3:08.

With its IONIQ range of hybrid and electric vehicles Hyundai says its bringing e-mobility

choice to the people.

Whether those people get to be Aussies remains to be seen.

At this stage Hyundai Australia is yet to confirm IONIQ is on its way Down Under.

For the rest of the world there's already a choice from three variants --

Hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure EV variants.

The ionic hybrid features a 1.6 litre direct injected naturally aspirated engine rated

at 77 kW and 147Nm.

This is boosted by a 32 kW electric motor that can deliver up to 170Nm.

The plug-in hybrid version features the same 1.6 L four but upgrades the electric motor

to 45kW.

At almost 9kwh, its lithium-ion battery pack is also upgraded – it's nearly six-times

large than the one fitted to the hybrid.

Hyundai claims an EV-only range for the plug-in of 50km.

In the EV version the battery grows three-fold to a 28kWh unit.

This powers an electric motor rated at 86kW and 295Nm.

Hyundai claims a 280km range and a top speed of 165kmh for the EV

Also rapid is the charging options for the pure EV ionic.

An 80% charge can be achieved just 23 minutes using 100kW DC fast charge system.

There is no transmission per se in the EV.

Shift paddles on the steering wheel allow the driver to adjust the EV's regenerative

braking across four settings.

At its most aggressive, the Elecric is almost a one-pedal car.

Both hybrids' petrol engines are coupled to dual clutch gearboxes.

And this is a key factor in delivering what is an undeniably more engaging drive than

IONIQ's better-known Toyota Prius counterpart.

It's no sportscar but there's solid hatch dynamics and decent steering.

Local tuning would undoubtedly improve both.

Against the weird Harold looks of latest Prius, the hybrid IONIQ's also look positively

conventional.

And while the EV version dispenses with the grille of the hybrids, there little doubt

that from most angles this is a sporty hatch first and eco-warrior second.

There's also decent comfort and plenty of luggage space in all three versions -- something

other hybrids can't always deliver.

IONIQ is a world first in terms of production cars.

Hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure EV in one body style

Add a fuel cell version and Hyundai would have every base covered.

But there's a premium to be paid for this technology.

Both by the manufacturer and the consumer.

IONIQ would be a great calling card for Hyundai Down Under but the bottom line is cost…

Aussies are willing to pay a premium for choice in many segments, but in the world of hybrids

and EVs?

We're still a hard nut to crack…

How a car's design helps make it safer in a crash - Duration: 2:10.

We exist to reduce injuries fatalities

and losses from crashes that occur on

roadways.

In the beginning of the crash what we get

is the barrier loading the front bumper

and a lot of those forces are then

transferred directly to the front

longitudinal structure inside that

surrounds the engine compartment and then

we start pushing in directly to the

wheel and the steering components which

then push push directly into some of the

occupant compartment areas. The occupant

compartment held up extremely well. It did

not collapse around the occupant and the

dummies injury measures look very good.

The fact that there's no deformation

in the A-pillar it means that

intrusion into the cabin was minimal.

One is protecting the occupants, the other is

protecting the structure of the

passenger compartment so in a collision

you don't want any intrusion into the

passenger compartment and then the third

is having effective crumple zones that

absorb the energy. When consumers look

for a new vehicle they should be looking

for a vehicle that performs well in a

range of different crash modes - front,

side, rear impact, rollover and many new

vehicles today come with collision

avoidance features that can help reduce

or prevent crashes from occurring.

Features like collision warning or

auto brake system.

2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia QV Road Test - Duration: 4:19.

The Italians have done their homework, they've enlisted some of the brightest minds from

Ferrari to help develop the platform and the car.

We're talking a turbo-charged 2.9 litre V6 with 375 kilowatts, that is big biccies.

Now, we know how quick it is, it's a weapon, we've tested it on the racetrack already.

But how does it go on the road?

Let's have a look.

The first thing I noticed about this Italian sports sedan is that power delivery from the

V6, it is just effortless.

Alfa Romeo has followed Audi and BMW and the likes using a ZF eight speed automatic transmission,

you cannot get a manual, which is a shame, but this thing is pretty quick in the shifts,

it's really responsive.

And the shifters themselves feel really plush.

I just wish they were mounted on the steering wheel, because when you turn it, the shifters

don't turn with you.

There's not too much turbo lack to speak of when you get on the throttle, and it certainly

punches out of corners with a fair bit of venom.

Then again, at 375 kilowatts you'd kind of expect that.

There's a tiny bit of noise from the tyres on this coarse chip surface, but given these

wheels are huge it's actually not too bad.

And there's a touch of wind noise as well, but overall, that sense of luxury you want

to get from a car like this, a luxury sedan, is certainly there.

Alfa Romeo has taken away some of the driving aids that the Germans love.

This car will not steer for you, but what it will do is go around a corner very, very

sharply.

That's because we've got lightweight, they're developing the dynamics to make

it faster.

So carbon fibre bonnet, you've got carbon fibre front splitter with Activero [?], carbon

fibre side skirts, carbon fibre roof, carbon fibre boot lid.

This thing is light, and this thing is fast.

This is a luxury car.

It costs about 150 grand.

Thankfully, they've done a great job with the interior.

These leather and Alcantara seats are form fitting, and I really like you've got a

bit of extra Alcantara on the steering wheel too.

There's carbon fibre absolutely everywhere, and this car is the first vehicle based on

the new Giorgio platform.

It cost the company $8 billion, so they haven't taken any shortcuts with this cabin, it is

very pretty.

And also you've got the DNA controls here, which basically lets you flip through different

modes, and then you've got race, when you really want to get that exhaust noise up and

have a bit of fun.

You've got adaptive suspension, so you can go a little bit softer if you just want some

comfort, or you can stiffen it right up if you find some beautiful nice corners to really

give the thing a workout.

It's got a pretty good feel through the corners, and I like the steering too.

This car is a lot of fun when you've got a good section of road and you're willing

to turn up the wick.

Although Alfa Romeo won't admit it, this Giulia is a make or break car for the company.

But if this top range QV is anything to go by, I think they've definitely made it.

There's a strange level of refinement I did not expect in this car, and I didn't

know it would be this special.

I am seriously enjoying driving this car.

The Germans have dominated the high performance luxury sedan market for decades, but the Italians

are back.

And this car, the Alfa Romeo Giulia QV, is about to upset the status quo.

2017 Hyundai i30 Review - Duration: 3:11.

Well we're not in Europe and with temperatures like these we're certainly not in Australia.

We're in Korea near Gapyeong where during the Korea war a small number of Aussies and

Kiwis fought off a much larger detirmined foe.

…. there's another Korean about to go in to battle in the small car segment, the brand-new

all-new Hyundai i30

The small car segment is our market's most hotly contested.

Against the might of Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla, the i30 was Australia's top selling car during

some months in 2016

When the new model arrives around April 2017, Hyundai Australia is keen to see it at the

top of the pops again.

The new i30 is styled in Europe and it shows.

This is a mature, handsome hatch that introduces the next step in Hyundai's design language

– inside and out.

Its lower and wider than the car it replaces and a touch longer.

In fact, all of the key dimensions are very close to Volkswagen's golf

and there's a reason for that -- VW's iconic small car is the benchmark for the class and

therefore, benchmark for the new i30

Two petrol and one turbodiesel variant of the new car will come down under.

The exact model walk and equipment levels are still to be finalised.

The likely range topper will be an SR badged i30 which will feature the latest version

of Hyundai's 1.6 L turbocharged petrol engine coupled to an excellent seven speed dual clutch

auto.

This variant will also feature the high spec independent rear suspension.

For cost reasons the base grade atmo 2 L four and the revised 1.6 L turbo diesel versions

get a torsion beam rear suspension.

Unlike previous generations of i30, all Australian bound hatches will be built in Korea.

There is a significant improvement in refinement in this latest i30

and when local suspension and steering tuning efforts are factored in,

the end result should be close to class leading.

This car is quieter and well just a little bit more grown-up than the car replaces.

But at the same time it manages to retain the sort of involvement that keen drivers

like.

The cabin is a significant step forward in terms of fit and finish

There's a more horizontal orientation to the dash and instrument layout.

And the infotainment system and satnav have moved to a tablet style arrangement that we

know some consumers just don't like.

It's comfortable and roomy – Hyundai claims better headroom and rear legroom than Golf

and more luggage space.

Overall there's a feel of quality There's the odd surface or colour mismatch

that separated this from the very best but those glitches will likely be sorted before

production cars arrive Down Under

The new i30 won't convert everyone, but it will convince plenty who take the time

to look closely and get behind the wheel.

Hyundai marketeers describe the i30 as the brand's "DNA car"

If they are talking about a measure of the evolution and maturity of the brand.

Then they're spot on…

It's right about now Aussies need to start looking at this hatch as far more than just

a $19,990 driveway one trick pony…
