Hyundai
is one of the automakers that best understands its market and pays close
attention to the features buyers really want. Thus, we end up with vehicles
like the Venue that are among the most affordable in their category by far.
Finally, one would think that it is synonymous with sacrifices as well as
compromises and it is the case or at least, in part. However, the Korean
manufacturer knows exactly where to apply cuts so that it does not affect the
experience of buyers in any way and that is why the Venue is so popular when it
has only just landed on the market.

After the presentation of the Civic Sedan dedicated to the American market at the end of April, Honda unveils the Hatchback (compact) version of its iconic car, which is already in its 11th generation. Officially presented in the United States with its local specifications. Quite logically, the exterior style of the Honda Civic in the compact version (Hatchback) takes up the general style of the three-box saloon except at the stern where the independent trunk gives way to a tailgate sloping gently down to the bumper. rear shocks. Compared to the tenth generation of the Civic, this new version has undergone a marked improvement in its structure.
The lineup of the next-generation Hyundai Elantra is set to grow with the arrival of a high-performance version, the Elantra N.

Following in the footsteps of the Kona N unveiled in April, the new Elantra N stands out with its own wheels, brake calipers, exhaust and rear spoiler.
Winner of numerous awards, the Mazda3 is back for 2022 with the same concern to please drivers looking for an attractive, dynamic and refined compact car. Whether in sedan or hatchback format, it offers a choice of manual and automatic transmissions, front-wheel or all-wheel drive and three engines ranging from 155 to 250 horsepower. Its improved equipment will appeal to lovers of technology and connectivity.

on the MQB modular platform, the Jetta continues to offer us two powertrains
for 2021. The first is a turbocharged four-cylinder engine developing 147
horsepower which can be paired with a manual or automatic transmission.
Otherwise, Volkswagen still offers its sporty GLI with its more powerful engine
that generates 228 horsepower.
The German compact sedan benefits from some tweaks for the 2022 model year. Aesthetically, the front and rear bumpers as well as the grille are different. Inside, fully digital instrumentation now comes as standard along with an upgraded optional infotainment system.
A midsize sedan whose reputation is second to none, the Honda Accord is available in a hybrid version whose fuel consumption is limited to approximately 5 L/100 km. Otherwise, two gasoline engines are offered, one of 1.5 liters and the other of 2 liters. In the case of the latter, the power increases to 252 horsepower, enough to offer performance worthy of the name! Unlike many rival cars, the Accord does not offer an all-wheel-drive version.
The mid-size Sonata sedan offers a wide range of versions, with no less than four engines on the program for 2022. A naturally aspirated 2.5-litre gasoline engine equips the entry-level version, while a turbocharged block of 1. 6 liters is offered with the better equipped models. Performance enthusiasts can turn to the 290 horsepower N Line, while the hybrid version will appeal to those who want to reduce their gasoline budget.
Coming to replace the Optima last year, the K5 is a more modern and convincing mid-size sedan. It strikes hard in terms of design as well as in terms of performance thanks to a GT version whose turbocharged 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine develops 290 horsepower. The other K5s inherit a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine producing 180 horsepower, but benefit from all-wheel drive. The standard equipment is also generous.
