No Company Has More Range Than Hyundai. These Cars Are Proof
"Is that a Bentley?" My neighbor asks, pointing to the slinky matte-black sedan parked in my driveway. No, sir, it is not—but I'm sure the fine folks in Korea would be happy to hear their latest Genesis G80 mistaken for a $350,000 British super saloon. That's a common theme with Genesis, though. People often lump their products in with pricier, upmarket vehicles. That's a result of how new the brand still is—only a decade old this year—and a testament to how damned attractive nearly all of its products are. Or, maybe it's just because the logos look similar. Regardless, when we spoke to Hyundai's head of design, SangYup Lee, in April, he emphasized the need for the brand to stand out: "We don't have the brand power like Mercedes has. Yet. So we're taking risks… because our customer profile is so different." By most measures, that risk has paid off. Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 The G80 is by far the best that Genesis has to offer—at least, in this author's humble opinion. Where other brands race to make their sedans overly fussy and obnoxiously sporty, Genesis is simply content with building the best luxury mid-sizer out there. No ridiculous powertrains, no rock-hard suspension settings, no nonsense. Just excellence all around. What's funny, though, is that for as remarkably upscale as the G80 is, you could theoretically walk a few hundred feet down the shared dealer group parking lot and drive home in something diametrically different. Yet, it's built in the same factory. Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 The Hyundai Elantra N is not a luxury vehicle. It often rides like the suspension is made of rocks. Its interior is rich with plastic, and prior to this most recent refresh, it was a pretty garish-looking thing—like something Jeremy Wade would have pulled out of a river deep in the heart of Laos. Yet, much like the G80, the Elantra N is peak for its class. It's hotter than a Honda Civic Si, more fun than a Volkswagen GLI, and more satisfying to drive than something like a Subaru WRX. It's punchy, quick, and lovable (especially with the new face), and genuinely affordable in an era where car prices are out of control: Just $35,445 out of the box. Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 Parking the two vehicles next to each other is an interesting exercise in the Hyundai Group's impressive dichotomy. There's nothing—and I mean nothing—that would lead you to believe that these cars were built by the same auto conglomerate, just a few hundred feet apart. The G80's svelte, upscale design is a galaxy away from the Elantra's edgy, juvenile looks. Juvenile in the best way, I should add. The G80 has a sumptuous V-6 in this Sport model that sends it smoothly down the road with a subtle rumble, while the Elantra N's rowdy turbocharged four-cylinder pops and crackles with every upshift. Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 There's nothing—and I mean nothing—that would lead you to believe that these cars were built by the same auto conglomerate, just a few hundred feet apart. Sliding into the G80 doesn't feel far off from a Bentley, either—and that's not hyperbole. The Genesis is quiet, refined, and upscale, with sumptuous red leather and a premium audio system that bounces musical notes off the acoustic glass. Hopping into the Elantra N—well, its rattly plastic only adds to its boyish charm, and the tinny audio system is best suited for screamo, played loudly, windows down. Sure, you could certainly draw similar comparisons within other automakers—like the gulf between a Toyota GR Corolla and a Lexus LS500, or a GTI and an Audi A7. But the fact that the G80 and Elantra N both represent the best of (or nearly the best of) their respective segments shows the impressive breadth with which the Hyundai Group operates. For my money, no company currently does it better. Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 The G80 and Elantra N, though, merely make up a small sample size of the Hyundai Group's larger capabilities. Having recently driven the three-row Ioniq 9 and spending time in the K4, the same is true of those vehicles, too: Both impressive and competitive in their respective classes, but dramatically different in execution. You want a pickup truck? Hyundai has the Santa Cruz. You want a minivan? Kia has the Carnival. You want a tiny electric SUV that gets to 60 in four seconds flat? Genesis has you covered with the GV60. Hell, the larger Hyundai Group even has entire businesses dedicated to power equipment, medical research, and, believe it or not, elevators. One thing that will never be up and down ( I'm so sorry ) is Hyundai Group's dedication to making excellent cars. Long gone are the days of Hyundai and Kia being the butt of the joke, the company really has come a long way. 46 Source: Jeff Perez / Motor1 Read More Comparisons We Drove Three of the Best BMW M3s Ever.

Presidential hopefuls disclose assets: Ahn richest at W137b, Lee at W3b
Rep. Lee Jae-myung, leader of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea and a leading presidential contender if an early election is called, reported over 3 billion won ($2 million) in personal assets, government data showed Thursday. According to annual asset disclosures released separately by the National Assembly's Ethics Committee and the Government Public Ethics Committee, Lee's total assets amounted to 3.08 billion won as of the end of 2023, down 26 million won from the previous year. Lee jointly owns an apartment in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, with his wife Kim Hye-kyung. The apartment was valued at 1.45 billion won — up 4.97 percent from a year earlier. He also reported purchasing a 2024 Genesis G80 sedan. His financial assets include 1.584 billion won in bank savings and 138 million won in liabilities. Among other presidential hopefuls from the Democratic Party, Gyeonggi Province Gov. Kim Dong-yeon — considered a key figure in the party's anti-Lee faction — reported assets worth 3.5 billion won, up 168 million won from the previous year. From the ruling bloc, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon topped the list of sitting metropolitan mayors with 7.4 billion won in declared assets, marking an increase of 1.43 billion won on-year — the largest both in total assets and asset growth among regional government heads. The rise was attributed to gains in the value of US stocks, including Nvidia and MicroStrategy, despite a decline in his bank deposits, according to local reports. Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo ranked third among metropolitan mayors with 4.26 billion won in assets. Labor Minister Kim Moon-soo reported 1.07 billion won, about 30 million won more than what he declared during his confirmation hearing in November last year. Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo of the ruling People Power Party was the wealthiest among all presidential hopefuls, with 136.8 billion won in declared assets. His portfolio includes 1.86 million shares of AhnLab, a cybersecurity company he founded prior to entering politics, valued at 123.1 billion won. Rep. Lee Jun-seok, leader of the minor conservative Reform Party and the first to officially declare his presidential bid, reported 1.47 billion won in assets. Former Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum and former South Gyeongsang Gov. Kim Kyung-soo — both considered potential opposition candidates — as well as former People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon and former lawmaker Yoo Seong-min — key figures within the conservative bloc — were not subject to this round of asset disclosures as they neither hold public office nor serve in parliament. According to a public opinion poll on support ratings for presidential hopefuls released Thursday by pollster Research View, Lee Jae-myung led the race with 48.3 percent support, followed by Kim Moon-soo (16.4 percent), Hong Joon-pyo (6.5 percent), Han Dong-hoon (5.7 percent), Oh Se-hoon (4.9 percent), and Kim Dong-yeon (3.1 percent).
