Podcasts about Hyundai

No hemos ni terminado enero y vivimos un momento de máxima actividad en el calendario del motor. Más allá de la Fórmula 1, el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, dedica el segundo episodio de la semana a analizar competiciones clave como el Rally Dakar, el arranque del Mundial de Rallyes en Montecarlo y la inminente cita de las 24 Horas de Daytona, confirmando que la temporada 2026 ya está plenamente en marcha. Mucho motor. Con el Dakar recién concluido, este segundo programa repasa los resultados en todas sus categorías: motos, coches, Challenger, Classic y camiones. Los colaboradores realizan una valoración global de una edición especialmente exigente, marcada por la dureza del recorrido y la fiabilidad como factor decisivo. Toca hablar de los momentos más relevantes de la prueba y se analiza con detalle el desempeño de los pilotos españoles, poniendo en contexto sus resultados dentro de una competición cada vez más profesionalizada y competitiva. El foco se traslada después al Mundial de Rallyes, que inicia su temporada, como es tradición, en el precioso Montecarlo. Antes de entrar en la previa del rally, Iván Fernández repasa la composición de los equipos y las novedades en las alineaciones de pilotos. Ford, Hyundai y Toyota protagonizan el análisis de las nuevas monturas, tanto desde el punto de vista del chasis como de las decoraciones, mientras se identifican los principales cambios técnicos, también en las categorías inferiores. El Rally de Montecarlo vuelve a presentarse como un desafío único dentro del calendario, con un recorrido exigente, tramos nocturnos y diurnos, y condiciones cambiantes que ponen a prueba la capacidad de adaptación de pilotos y equipos. Así que toca hacer una buena previa, detallando los kilómetros totales, la estructura de las jornadas y los retos específicos del rally, incluyendo las novedades en cuanto a compuestos de neumáticos y el material disponible para afrontar una prueba donde la puesta a punto del coche resulta crítica… y donde el año pasado los neumáticos, como en tantas pruebas, fueron protagonistas. Mirando a Estados Unidos. El cierre del episodio mira hacia Estados Unidos, con la previa de las 24 Horas de Daytona 2026. Se destacan los puntos fuertes de esta edición y la participación española, con nombres propios como Álex Palou, que competirá junto a Scott Dixon en Acura. El repaso a la lista de inscritos refleja la magnitud del evento, con una nutrida parrilla en las categorías GTP, LMP2, GTD Pro y GTD, y la presencia de los principales fabricantes y pilotos del panorama internacional. Empezamos con un plato fuerte, está claro. Con este recorrido por el Dakar, el WRC y la resistencia americana, el episodio confirma que el automovilismo afronta un inicio de año intenso y diverso. Y el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 arranca su décima temporada ofreciendo una visión global del motor, conectando disciplinas y campeonatos con la misma intensidad y pasión del primer episodio.

On today's highly observant episode of Quick Charge, Waymo founder John Krafcik takes aim at Tesla's Full Self Driving hardware limitations and Volvo Cars rolls out their most important new product of the 2020s: the all-new EX60 electric SUV! The Waymo founder says it's Tesla's antiquated camera tech, not necessarily its FSD software, that's keeping the company from offering truly autonomous robotaxis – and even says they'd fail a DMV eye exam! We've also got a look at the all-new, ultra fast charging Volvo EX60 and Peter Johnson looks into the crystal ball to peer into the future of Hyundai's upscale Genesis brand.

From viral social-media-driven theft spikes to long-running emissions deception allegations, state attorneys general capped 2025 with two high-profile multistate settlements against major car manufacturers, resulting in millions of dollars in consumer relief and compliance commitments. A 35-state coalition secured a $9 million deal with Hyundai and Kia over allegedly inadequate anti-theft technology and related disclosures, and a broad coalition of 50 states resolved claims with Mercedes-Benz over hidden emissions defeat devices — illustrating that AG offices remain aggressive in protecting consumers from safety risks and deceptive practices across the automotive sector. For legal, compliance, and marketing teams, these settlements signal that multistate enforcement isn't limited to traditional product defects but extends to safety-critical and environmental representations, and that companies should be prepared to address social media effects on product misuse, transparent disclosures, and evolving AG expectations.

SummaryAmazon Autos promises to make buying a car as easy as clicking “Buy Now.” But is it actually easier — and more importantly, is it better for car buyers?In this episode, The Car Chick® breaks down how Amazon Autos really works, why Hyundai was the first automaker to partner with Amazon, how the platform has evolved into used and certified pre-owned vehicles, and where dealership bullshittery can still sneak in. We compare Amazon Autos to TrueCar, Autotrader, and Cars.com, explain who this model works for, and why convenience often comes at the cost of leverage.TakeawaysAmazon is testing a new car buying model.Hyundai's flexibility makes it a suitable partner for Amazon.The buying process is still dealer-centric despite the online platform.Fixed pricing reduces negotiation but may not guarantee the best deal.Convenience often comes at a cost in the car buying process.Resources:  https://www.thecarchick.com/perfect-car-packageYou can view a full list of resources and episode transcripts here.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1244: Today we're talking about Tesla's FSD flip to subscription-only, the continued softening of auto credit conditions, and a loyalty report that says your customers are expecting way more. Show Notes with links: The Dealertrack Credit Availability Index closed out December at 99.6—its highest reading of 2025 and the strongest level since October 2022. It marks a continued return to pre-pandemic credit conditions, capping off a yearlong trend of easing lending standards.Approval rates rose to 73.7%, up 90 basis points from November and 80 bps from December 2024.Average contract rates dropped from 10.5% to 10.3%, while yield spreads also narrowed—making pricing more attractive for buyers.Subprime lending edged down from 14.3% to 14.1% month-over-month, though still up from 11.8% a year ago.Loans over 72 months grew in share, as consumers stretch payments to keep monthly costs manageable.Captive lenders led the loosening, but banks, credit unions, and finance companies all showed increased flexibility.Starting February 14, Tesla will stop offering its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system as a one-time purchase, moving exclusively to a monthly subscription model, according to CEO Elon Musk.FSD, which still requires active driver supervision, currently costs $8,000 or $99/month.Tesla hasn't said how many users pay for FSD, but Musk once admitted he was "kind of glad" not many bought the lifetime option.The shift may be tied to Musk's compensation package, which includes hitting 10 million active FSD subscriptions.California regulators are still considering suspending Tesla's sales license for 30 days over alleged misleading marketing of FSD capabilities.Tesla has not disclosed how many of its customers have bought or are paying monthly subscriptions for FSD.In its 28th annual Customer Loyalty Engagement Index, Brand Keys found that consumer expectations jumped a record-breaking 32% year-over-year — a shift that's shaking up brand rankings across industries and putting serious pressure on retailers to evolve.Hyundai once again ranked highest among automotive brands for meeting modern consumer expectations — its 17th year holding that title.Nearly 40% of product and service categories saw new leaders emerge, signaling a wave of disruption driven by more demanding buyers.Loyalty continues to deliver ROI: a 5% improvement can boost lifetime customer profits by up to 88%, while a 2% lift can cut marketing costs by nearly 30%.Amazon, Whole Foods, Shell, Ben & Jerry's, and Dollar General were also among the top performers in their categories.“The bottom line: loyalty moves markets.” – Robert Passikoff, President of Brand KeysJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Jill is back in the co-host seat this week for a topic-packed episode. Tom opens the show asking if $61,000 seems like a lot for a Hyundai—any Hyundai. The hosts discuss the Korean maker's luxury/value equation, and note that Tom's test car, a 2026 Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid is, without question, a luxury vehicle. Listen in for more of the conversation. Tom goes on to share his frustration with Stellantis for killing all of Jeep's “4Xe” plug-in hybrids, along with the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Listen in for some crankiness. Still in the first segment, Jill details her CES Chinese-car adventure. Jill was able to take short drives in a number of luxury electric Zeekr models (a division of Volvo's parent company Geely) and came away very impressed. Her quick takes on these vehicles are worth a listen. Are these premium EVs coming to the U.S? here's the scoop. In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by friend of show and sustainability expert Robert Collangelo. Robert addresses the fallacy that EVs are a threat to the U.S. electric grid, and details the real power-consumption challenges that lay ahead for the country. It's a great conversation you don't want to miss. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Is it a Dodge?” quiz.

Kicking off 2026, Tu and Lei return from CES in Las Vegas with firsthand insights into how the global auto industry's center of gravity continues to shift toward China, AI, autonomy, and robotics.  This episode unpacks why CES is no longer about cars, but about who controls the software, silicon, sensors, and robots that will define the next decade of mobility. From Geely and Great Wall's growing U.S. ambitions, to Hyundai's robot-only keynote, to Ford's quiet but meaningful autonomy reset, the hosts connect dots that most headlines missed.Tu and Lei also break down the Geely “coming to the U.S.” scoop, Rivian-style AI days spreading to legacy OEMs, and why Western automakers are increasingly borrowing from China's playbook—from ADAS and silicon strategy to embodied AI and robotics.The episode closes with a deep dive into autonomy's three tracks (L2++, consumer L3/L4, and robotaxis), the growing importance of LiDAR scale, and why Donut Labs' solid-state battery and in-wheel motor reveal could become a true industry disruptor—if it scales.Fast, candid, and packed with on-the-ground context, this episode explains why CES 2026 marked a turning point—and why the race is no longer just EVs vs ICE, but ecosystems vs incumbents.___

Robots, Junk Food, and Talentless Tennis explores three revealing stories that say far more about modern culture than their headlines suggest.First, we look at the rapid expansion of robotics in business, prompted by Hyundai's growing investment in automated workers. From factories to service industries, robots are no longer experimental novelties but permanent colleagues. The discussion centres on what automation means for productivity, human dignity, work ethic, and the temptation to treat technology as a saviour rather than a tool.Next, attention turns to the UK ban on junk food advertising across television and online platforms, alongside tighter restrictions on high-sugar drinks. Framed as a public health measure, the move raises deeper questions about personal responsibility, self-control, government overreach, and whether virtue can ever be produced by regulation rather than character.Finally, we examine a bizarre tennis incident in Nairobi involving an Egyptian wildcard entry whose performance included twenty double faults and just three points won. Beyond the comedy lies a serious reflection on merit, competence, fairness, and the modern habit of confusing opportunity with ability.Throughout the episode, the themes are punctuated by original poems that sharpen the satire and slow the pace, alongside a closing Bible verse from Psalm 127:1: “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain.”Taken together, the episode offers a thoughtful, Christian-inflected critique of automation, regulation, and decline in standards, asking what happens when formation is replaced by systems, and wisdom is outsourced to machines or policies.

We dive headfirst into CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where this year’s Consumer Electronics Show makes one thing crystal clear: A.I. is officially running the show. From smarter tech to mind-blowing automation, the future is no longer coming — it’s already here. Then things get wild with the next generation of robots, including machines that will one day do your laundry, help build cars for Hyundai by 2028, and even power the world’s first autonomous “thinking” car. Lasers, robotics, and A.I. collide as we break down what’s real, what’s coming, and what might sound like sci-fi but isn’t. We also check in on the weather as high winds continue to impact mountain communities like Wrightwood and Santa Clarita. And in a lighter turn, a California transplant from Tennessee joins the conversation with some culture-shock questions that spark instant debate: Are speeding tickets even a thing here? Why do we say “the” before freeways? Do Californians pronounce their T’s? And seriously… where are all the bugs? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Emily and I are kicking off 2026 talking about fresh starts. Why we love them, why they matter, and why they don't always go the way we hope. There's something about a new year that invites us to pause, reflect, and ask what kind of people we actually want to become. I'm sharing 8 books you should read in 2026 - not as a checklist, but as tools that can help shape your thinking, your faith, and the direction of your life. Even one or two of these could make a real difference. If you're stepping into this year with hope, questions, or a desire to grow, I hope this episode will encourage you.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1236: We're continuing our coverage of CES with headlines on Hyundai's humanoid robot plans and Sony Honda's SUV twist on the Afeela. Plus, a dramatic EV fire at a gas station is stopped cold by some simple, new tech.https://www.autonews.com/technology/an-ces-2026-hyundai-robotics-strategy-0105/Hyundai is jumping headfirst into the humanoid robot race, revealing a bold new plan to deploy thousands of AI-driven robots at its factories, starting with its Georgia Metaplant. The timeline? Hyundai aims to produce 30,000 Atlas humanoid robots per year by 2028.The robots will begin by handling parts-sequencing tasks at the Georgia plant.Developed by Boston Dynamics, Atlas can lift 110 pounds and is built for rugged environments.Hyundai's roadmap includes complex assembly work by 2030, supported by AI from Nvidia and Google DeepMind.“Robotics brings many different domains of machine learning together… That makes robotics a frontier application of AI,” said Carolina Parada of Google DeepMind.https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/sony-honda-mobilitys-afeela-prototype-2026-puts-an-suv-spin-on-its-too-familiar-sedan-at-ces-043927882.htmlSony Honda Mobility is back at CES with another Afeela concept — this time, it's an SUV. The new Afeela Prototype 2026 offers familiar styling with a taller twist, signaling the joint venture's attempt to better cater to American preferences.The SUV prototype mimics the Afeela 1 sedan, complete with nose-mounted LCD.Targeted release is “as early as 2028,” though 2029 is more likely.Meanwhile, the Afeela 1 sedan is still set to launch at the end of 2026 — but only in California.Starting at $90K, the sedan offers 300 miles of range and promises future Level 4 autonomy yet only charges at 150 kwh…half of what most Teslas and Hyundai's can do“You could drive in Gran Turismo 7 while your car drove you to work,” Sony Honda Mobility teased.https://www.jalopnik.com/2068144/firefighters-blanket-turtle-ev-fire/In an ironic turn, an EV caught fire at a gas station . Thanks to quick-thinking cops and some seriously clever firefighting tech, it didn't turn into a Hollywood-style explosion.

French farmers are continuing their protests across the country this Tuesday, in a bid to raise awareness about the difficult financial situation they face and the threat posed by the EU-Mercosur trade pact. This as Italy has reportedly planned to support the deal when EU ambassadors vote on the measure on January 9. Also in this edition: automaker Hyundai showcases its new humanoid Atlas robot at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, saying the robots will be rolled out in production sites in 2028.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1226: We're talking rising auto prices and longer-term debt in the U.S., Kazakhstan's record-setting manufacturing momentum, and Simon Sinek's take on why Gen Z might be the most rational workforce yet.As new car prices have climbed 33% since 2020, affordability is slipping out of reach for many. Buyers are stretching loan terms to eight, nine, even ten years—trading short-term relief for long-term debt.Average new vehicle price broke $50K this fall, up from under $38K in early 2020.Monthly payments now average $760; rising prices and high interest rates are fueling defaults.One-third of buyers now take loans of at least 72 months; some exceed 100 months, especially on pickups.Automakers are lowering prices and leaning into base trims—Ford's Maverick jumped 76% in November sales.Kazakhstan's automotive sector is on a record-breaking run. Through the first 11 months of 2025, vehicle production has already topped the full-year total from 2024, signaling both rising demand and growing sophistication in local manufacturing. With nearly $4 billion in output, the industry is becoming a major economic engine.From January to November, Kazakhstan built 146,163 vehicles valued at $3.9B—a 15.7% jump from 2024.November alone set a monthly record with 22,580 units produced worth $601M, up 25.5% year-over-year.Auto manufacturing now makes up 41.7% of the country's entire machine-building sector, up from 2024.Growth was led by Allur (79K+ units) in Kostanay and Hyundai plants in Almaty and Shymkent (up 26.7%), including those operated by our friends at Astana MotorsSimon Sinek and Garry Ridge are taking aim at the "lazy Gen Z" stereotype. In a recent podcast conversation, the leadership thinkers argue that Gen Z's workplace demands are less about entitlement—and more about a rational response to broken corporate trust.On A Bit of Optimism, Sinek says Gen Z's need for upfront value stems from growing up in a world with "no loyalty from the company."Ridge, former WD-40 CEO, agrees: leaders must build trust and ditch outdated performance models.Both advocate for regular coaching check-ins over once-a-year reviews.Gen Z doesn't want delayed recognition—they want feedback, growth, and transparency now.“I don't want to wait 364 days for you to tell me what I should've done better,” said RidgeThank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

In this episode, I sit down with J.D. Greear, pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. Under J.D.'s leadership, The Summit has grown from a church of about 300 people to a movement of over 12,000. They have a bold vision to plant 1,000 churches by the year 2050. Woah!!  But what I love about this conversation is that it's not about numbers. It's about leadership in real life. We talk about the complexities and weight of leadership, how to find balance when everything feels overwhelming, and what it looks like to lead faithfully in a divided world without becoming cynical or jaded.  If you're leading people, carrying responsibility, or just trying to stay hopeful and healthy in the middle of it all, I think this conversation will really encourage you.
