Numbers have come in for Canada's best selling cars and light trucks for the first third of 2013. Clinching the number one spot is the Hyundai Elantra, who's sales are up 3.9% from the same period a year ago, overtaking the Honda Civic. The Civic's sales when compared to a year ago have dropped significantly, they're down 17.6%, despite being built in Ontario. One factor may be that Canadians like hatchbacks. The Elantra offers a hatchback model but the Civic is only available in sedan and coupe versions. If Honda decides to bring back the Civic hatch, Canadians might be more interested.

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 all-electric crossover has earned the best-possible Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). Its close cousins the Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60 have yet to be sufficiently tested to obtain a rating.

Hyundai is getting ready to introduce two new N models in its lineup. While the identity of the first is an open secret (Ioniq 5), that of the second remains more mysterious. The manufacturer has shared two teaser images to boost interest ahead of the reveal next week.

Hyundai has confirmed that its Veloster N will not be back in 2023. The decision is linked to the disappearance of the Accent (same chassis) and also to the arrival of N versions for the Elantra and the Kona.
