Hyundai details lineup changes

Hyundai has been enjoying a wealth of success as of late, and the company is looking to continue that with three new updates to its existing lineup.

The South Korean automaker recently showed off some of the changes expected for the company throughout 2011 at the North American Dealers Association (NADA) convention in San Francisco.

Of the scheduled changes, the two-door Elantra coupe could likely be the closest thing to a brand-new model. This car will offer the same performance options and ergonomics as the standard Elantra sedan, but in a sleek two-door coupe shell.

According to the Automotive News, dealers were perhaps most enthusiastic about the redesigned Azera. Hyundai has given the car a stylish facelift for the 2012 model year, but performance-oriented consumers will likely be impressed by the new engine as well. The direct-injection V6 upgrades the horsepower to 260 while also improving on the existing model's fuel economy.

Finally, the Genesis R-Spec is a new high-end luxury trim level aimed at performance enthusiasts. Expected to retail for around $50,000, the R-Spec will reportedly offer 429 horsepower coupled with a new eight-speed automatic transmission.
