loved the side by side vanishing point in the horizon deadcenter shot

[@angusnz7910]

An eye opener for me is we all know what 1 sec is in time, but now many meters it is in reality (overtaking for example).
And smaller turbo engines being more efficient? I’m not so sure on that..to make lower yes, but 7 something in fuel for the 2.0 and 9 something for the 1.6 shows what really can happen it pushed only a wee bit. And lastly…how obnoxious the sound of a cvt is 😳

[@dingus2218]

i like these split virtual drags, mate!
would be good to see some segment rivals face each other but maybe also some completely different cars going head-to-head just for the lols.
great clip as always!

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Thanks. Yep, great idea. I'll aim to do more of these in the future.

Hey mate I've got a base model 2lt 12,000 on the clock showing 6lt to the 100 since purchased about 50/50 city and open road ....so far so good no troubles goes good enough for a small Korean SUV I reckon... I like the CVT nice and smooth 👍

[@7motion985]

Excellent video❤.

[@acde9355]

I hope the 2.0 NA engine could be soon replaced by the 1.0T which has been used in Europe for years. Small turbo engines produce same or more torque but have lower power kw than bigger NA engines. However, the max power only affects the high speed capability, but this class of cars are designed to focus on city driving, meaning the responses and efficiency in the city road is way more important.

[@user-vk4vd7vr5t]

Could possibly be the most boring drag race in history

[@mdsyazwan9307]

is that a cvt gearbox?

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Simply love these, regardless of cars. Thank you as it must take a lot of time to put these together. 👍👍😎🇦🇺

[@xconankunx4530]

Buy the 2.0lt one and turbo it, it'll pull bus lengths on the 1.6lt

[@perpetualgrin5804]

It is not built for a turbo.

[@xconankunx4530]

@@perpetualgrin5804 anything is possible with mods.

[@6ft3Daddy]

Knowing hyundai they'll do a N version like the last generation on its final model before the next body version

[@2A_Mel]
