Hyundai Cars
The Hyundai is a popular car in New Zealand due to its reliability, affordability, and versatility. The Hyundai range includes various models such as the i20, i30, Kona, Tucson and Santa Fe.
For city driving conditions in New Zealand, the Hyundai i20 is a popular choice due to its compact size and fuel efficiency. It has a 1.4-litre petrol engine that delivers 74 kW of power and 133 Nm of torque. It has a combined fuel consumption rate of 6.2L/100km and emits only 147 g/km of CO2. Additionally, it has a range of safety features including six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), hill-start assist control (HAC) and vehicle stability management (VSM).
The Hyundai Kona is another popular model for those looking for an SUV-style car that can handle New Zealand roads. It comes with either a 1.6-litre petrol engine or a 1.6-litre diesel engine. The petrol engine produces up to 130 kW of power while the diesel engine produces up to 100 kW of power. Both engines are available with all-wheel drive for added traction on wet or slippery roads.
For those who need more space for passengers and cargo, the Hyundai Tucson offers ample room while still being easy to drive on New Zealand's windy roads. It comes with either a 1.6-litre petrol engine or a 2-litre diesel engine, both with all-wheel drive capabilities.
Finally, the flagship model of the Hyundai range is the Santa Fe which offers spaciousness for families without sacrificing performance and handling on New Zealand's challenging terrain. The Santa Fe comes with either a petrol or diesel engine option but what sets it apart from other vehicles in its class are advanced safety features such as blind-spot collision warning (BCW) and rear-cross traffic collision warning (RCCW).
Overall, whether you're driving around town or venturing out into rural areas in New Zealand, there's likely a Hyundai model that will meet your needs as well as offer peace-of-mind while on the road thanks to their quality design and reliable build.
