New cars this week

Remember that weird new sedan from Hyundai we talked about a few months ago? Well, it got a sporty makeover.

Remember that weird new sedan from Hyundai we talked about a few months ago? Well, it got a sporty makeover. The Hyundai Elantra N Line is a performance package for the base model, in from of a stiffer suspension and larger front brakes. The exterior is also spiced up, that's a new front new bumper with trapezoidal inlets while in the rear they added an integrated spoiler, a small diffuser, and dual chrome exhaust tips. The engine is left alone, though the 201 HP and 195.2 lb-ft of torque already made by the 1.6 liter turbocharged engine isn't something to look down on. 

Moving from one Korean automaker to another, Kia has rolled out the fourth generation of their Sorento SUV. The six-seat midsize has apparently hit the gym, and lost around 80 kilograms of weight and gained 10 millimeter or length. The increased size gives the car  "more comfortable interior space" according to kia, and comes with their typical above average list of features. The base engine is a 1.6 liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain making 227 HP and 258.2 lb-ft of torque. Overall, a decent package, that will probably soon be hitting the streets of Dhaka.
