Hyundai Retires The HB20S And Bets On A Robust Look And Technology To Keep The Model Among The Best Sellers In Brazil

The new generation of the HB20 will be launched in Brazil in 2026, already as the 2027 line, marking a strategic shift for Hyundai. The HB20S sedan will be discontinued, and in its place, the brand will launch a brand new compact crossover, positioned below the Creta and aimed at consumers seeking robustness, connectivity, and efficiency.

Even at the end of its cycle, the HB20 hatch remains one of the best-selling cars in the country, with 9,760 units sold in June 2024. Hyundai wants to take advantage of this momentum and adapt the model to the new behavior of the Brazilian market.

New Generation Of The HB20 Debuts With Internal Improvements And A Focus On Technology

The new generation of the HB20 will maintain 1.0 naturally aspirated and 1.0 turbo flex engine options, with up to 120 horsepower. The changes will mainly come in terms of internal space, especially in the rear seat, which was criticized in previous versions.

With the new generation of the HB20, Hyundai will also end production of the HB20S (sedan). In its place, a compact crossover will be launched, built on the same platform as the HB20, but with a more robust appearance, higher suspension, and a higher driving position.

This new model will be produced in Piracicaba (SP) and will compete in the market with Fiat Pulse, VW Nivus, Renault Kardian, and other entry-level compact SUVs, a segment that is on the rise in Brazil.

This decision reflects a clear shift in Brazilian preferences, as consumers are replacing compact sedans with vehicles that have an adventurous style and more versatility for everyday use.

HB20 Remains A Sales Leader Even At The End Of The Cycle

Even on the brink of renewal, the HB20 continues to be a market success. In January 2024, it was the best-selling passenger car in Brazil and even led the overall ranking in the first half. This solid performance demonstrates consumer confidence in the brand.

Hyundai is aware of this and is betting on continuity in leadership with targeted adjustments: more space, more connectivity, and a modern visual appeal. With the addition of the new crossover to the lineup, the company is targeting consumers who are looking for their first SUV while not compromising urban efficiency.

HB20 Remains A Sales Leader Even At The End Of The Cycle

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
