Hyundai is heading for higher realms

According to the website Automotive News , Hyundai is preparing to attack the positions of premium mid-class sedans . And it has no one less than the benchmark of this category in its sights – the BMW 3 Series .

The project with the code name RK is currently in the preparation phase, but in 2016 it should become a hard reality. The design will be based on this year's HCD-14 Genesis concept, which would mean that the novelty will be larger than the 3 Series.

The use of rear-wheel drive and a six-cylinder under the hood is a matter of course. So far, there is speculation about a 3.3 engine that has its origins in the Azera sedan. The second unit could be a turbocharged four-cylinder 2.0 , which we also had the opportunity to test in the Genesis Coupé.
