ANCAP has given the soon to be released Hyundai Genesis sedan a five-star safety rating after it scored highly across all areas in the assessment process. The new Genesis sedan is Hyundai’s attempt to rival the luxury sedans offered by prestige European manufacturers like BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. This is the first time we have seen the word 'standard' listed against every safety feature on our checklist The Genesis scored the maximum 16 points for the side impact test, maximum two points for the side pole test and maximum three points for seat belt warnings. The only area where the Genesis didn’t score the maximum was in the front impact test, where the steering wheel could pose an injury risk for the driver’s upper legs.

Project Sandman mixes Holden history with V8 Supercar engineering. Ahead of this weekend's Gold Coast 600 V8 Supercar round in Surfers Paradise, Red Bull Racing (RBR) Australia have taken the covers off Project Sandman, their in-house take on the old Holden panel van icon which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Work began on the Sandman back in April, in collaboration with the Holden Design Department. While the shape and the name might be bringing back fond - or not so fond - memories of years gone by, the Tribute Edition Sandman is more than a trip down memory lane. Underneath the evocative, mattress-fitting body, (yes, Red Bull Racing claim it can still fit a short mattress in the back) is a race-spec V8 Supercar. It sounds like a race car, it's faster than our race cars in a straight line Sitting on the 888-032 Car of the Future V8 Supercar chassis used by Jamie Whincup during the 2013 season, is the same 5.0-litre V8 engine used by the RBR ra

Hyundai moving upmarket

How much would you pay for a Hyundai? Most people spend less than $30,000 to put one of the Korean company's compacts in their garage - an i20, Elantra or i30 - but things are changing fast. Hyundai is about to bring its full-luxury Genesis to showrooms and that means buyers will be spending about $60,000. The final price has not been revealed, with some pundits predicting a starting price of about $55,000 - Hyundai says it will be lower than the luxury car tax threshold of $61,884.

Hyundai is aiming eventually to become No. 2 in Australia behind Toyota But Hyundai is a challenger brand that's scored a lot of hits in recent times. Few people realise that combining its two compacts as one car - the i30 hatchback and Elantra sedan are twins under the skin - would turn it into a genuine contender for No. 1 in Australia.
