Sales of the Hyundai Sonata, once Korea’s most popular model, has been falling to dangerously low levels. The Hyundai Motor Group’s Asan plant, which makes the Sonata, is sitting idle for one week as inventories of the slow-selling Sonata are piling up at dealers. Production will only resume on Monday, 15th of March. Hyundai ended 2020 with 48,067 units of the Sonata sold, down 26.3 percent from the year before.

Here’s five things we like about the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, more specifically the top-of-the-line Tiguan Allspace R-Line. 1.

Recently, images of the production version of the Geely Preface have surfaced, hinting at what could be the next Proton Perdana/Preve.

The 2020 Kia Optima gets a radical change in its design from the outgoing generation, now with a fastback sloping roofline akin to an Audi A7. Inspired by the texture of shark skin, the grille is said to give a powerful and sporty image. The headlamps are seamlessly intergrated with the grille, featuring a unique daytime running light signature, which Kia calls ‘heartbeat’.
