We should see the new Hyundai Santa Fe midsize SUV later this year, with a more rugged shape and sporting elements recognizable from the new Hyundai Kona and refreshed Hyundai Sonata sedan. The overall shape of the SUV, codenamed MX5, is much boxier, as spy shots have revealed. That is because Hyundai changed how it approached the new Santa Fe, Hyundai and Genesis Global Design Head SangYup Lee tells *MotorTrend* in an interview.
McLaren has a reputation for producing the most hardcore supercars that resemble racing cars among the cars running on ordinary roads. One of their flagship models is the McLaren GT. There's no need to mention the design. The "butterfly" doors that open upwards give the driver a special feeling right from the start of the test drive. It's as if it's saying, "You're not just driving a car, you're piloting a fighter jet." Despite being a supercar, the McLaren GT is not uncomfortably harsh. Opening and closing the doors doesn't require much force, and everything operates manually, providing an intuitive experience. The interior features two snug sports seats, naturally welcoming the driver. The McLaren GT, I must repeat, is not an ordinary vehicle. It's more akin to a racing car. Naturally, carbon fiber material envelops the muscular body inside and out, based on lightweight technology. The vehicle's curb weight is only 1466 kg, making it over 130 kg lighter than competing supercars in its class. It stays grounded like a fighter jet.
Hyundai's domestic factories, including the Ulsan plant, produced a total of 482,326 vehicles in the first quarter of this year, exceeding their original production capacity of 427,081 units. This resulted in a factory utilization rate of 112.9%, marking a 16.2% increase compared to the same period last year when the utilization rate was 96.7%. Hyundai's first overseas production base and a key hub for its European expansion, the factory in Turkey, recorded a utilization rate of 114.9% despite a relatively lower production volume of 62,600 units in the first quarter. This is the highest level among Hyundai's production bases. The Hyundai factories in the Czech Republic and Montgomery, Alabama, USA, also achieved high utilization rates of 103.4% and 101.3%, respectively. While their utilization rates were in the 80% range during the same period last year, they operated at full capacity throughout this year's first quarter.
The Tesla Model S was revolutionary in showcasing the future of vehicle maintenance with software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and over-the-air updates. However, Tesla owners have raised rational suggestions and complaints, with rain-sensing headlights being the most common request. Owners have also requested improvements to the blind spot and vehicle detection sensor suite, with better fidelity and enhanced display screens. Other complaints relate to the infotainment and safety system, such as a lack of chime for upcoming navigation directions and inability to set different zoom levels on the navigation map.
Hyundai Motor Group's vehicles now have a new on-demand feature that allows customers to customize their cars with various options. The feature includes remote parking, customizable grille graphics, and streaming services, among others. The software is also wirelessly updatable, allowing for easy updates to be installed on the car. Additionally, level 3 highway driving assist features are also available.
Tesla, a US electric vehicle manufacturer, has released data on the performance of the battery cells in its Model S sedan and Model X SUV. These models were introduced in 2012 and 2016, respectively. Tesla has revealed that battery capacity decreases as the battery is charged and discharged repeatedly, resulting in a reduction in the vehicle's driving range. Battery degradation can be tracked based on mileage, but batteries also degrade over time. Tesla sold 1.3 million vehicles worldwide and analyzed some of the battery data in a corporate impact report released last year. Tesla claims that even after driving about 200,000 miles, the Model S and X vehicles maintain up to 88% of their battery capacity. This is slightly different from what Tesla claimed in its 2020 impact report, which stated that the battery maintained up to 90% of its capacity after driving the same distance. 🚗🔋🚀
The 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 was a game-changing car, built with advanced technology and engineering to compete with exotic supercars. General Motors invested heavily in electronics and technology in the 1980s to compete with Japanese brands. The Corvette ZR-1 used a naturally aspirated V-8 engine developed by Lotus, which produced 375 hp and 370 lb-ft of torque. It could reach 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and had a top speed of 180 mph. Its exceptional performance made it a world-beating triumph of engineering, and the ZR-1 tradition lives on in the 2023 Corvette Z06.
The interior, as shown in some spy shots, has a layout similar to the 'All-New Grandeur'. It features a unified wide infotainment display with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch center display, as well as a one-spoke steering wheel, column-type gear lever, and large storage space, among other bold changes. The powertrain lineup includes the removal of the 2.2 diesel and the addition of two engines: the 2.5 gasoline turbo and the 1.6 gasoline turbo hybrid. There is also a possibility of a new 8-speed automatic transmission being included. The new Hyundai Santa Fe Full Change is scheduled to be released in August.

Ex-Bengal Carson Palmer tabs Joe Burrow over Patrick Mahomes as best QB: 'He's more consistent' The Bengals and Chiefs need no help bolstering their rivalry, but a former Cincinnati quarterback decided to add fuel to the fire regardless. "I think Joe (Burrow) is the best quarterback in the league," Carson Palmer said last week on *The QB Room* podcast. "I know Patrick (Mahomes) is phenomenal, but I just think Joe's more consistent. He's more consistent. He's more accountable to run the system and the play that's called and not feel like, 'Well, he didn't win last time and get open for me, so I'm gonna do it with my feet,' and then before you know it, you're sacked for a four-yard loss because you tried to make two or three guys miss. https://www.nfl.com/news/ex-bengal-carson-palmer-tabs-joe-burrow-over-patrick-mahomes-as-best-qb-he-s-mor
