Volvo: What's new for 2010

CONFIRMED FOR 2010:

C30: (photo) Volvo's svelte coupe gets new front-end styling and host of new standard equipment, including Bluetooth phone connectivity, cruise control, a trip computer, adjustable head restraints, leather-and-aluminum gearshift knob, and a leather-wrapped handbrake. R-Design models also get fog lights. The Preferred Package adds a power driver's seat and keyless ignition, the Climate Package now includes automatic climate control, a cabin filter, and a humidity sensor, and the new Multimedia Package bundles the Dynaudio stereo with SIRIUS satellite radio.

C70: (photo) Styling changes originally scheduled for 2010 have apparently been put off for 2011. Options have been shuffled; keyless ignition and rear parking assist are now stand-alone options, while a cabin air filter is now included in the Climate package. A new Dynamic Package includes 18" wheels, headlights that turn with the steering wheel, and a 3-spoke "sport" steering wheel.

S40: Manual transmissions, which were dropped in 2009, have returned for 2010; the 2.4i can be had with a 5-speed stick, while the T50 AWD R-Design comes with a 6-speed. (A 5-speed automatic is optional; front-drive T5s are still automatic-only.) Automatic climate control and a leather-and-aluminum gearshift are now standard on the 2.4i, which also offers navigation as an option. The Preferred Package now includes a moonroof, power front passenger's seat, and keyless ignition, while the Climate Package adds a cabin filter and humidity sensor.

S80: Volvo's flagship gets a new grille and a bit more chrome on the outside, along with upgraded cabin trim on the inside. The 3.2 liter engine is now available in a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) version; it delivers slightly less horsepower (225 hp vs. 235 for the ULEV-compliant 3.2) and its automatic transmission has a revised shift program for better fuel economy, although the PZEV's EPA estimates are the same (18/27) as the ULEV version. The T6 AWD now offers a sport-tuned suspension, part of an optional Dynamic Package, and the rear-seat refrigerator (complete with two crystal glasses), formerly available only on the S80 V8, is now offered on all S80 models. Speaking of the V8, it now comes with speed-sensitive steering as standard, and a sport-tuned suspension is an option. The navigation system has been updated, and several previously-available features have been shuffled among the S80's five available option packages.

V50: Volvo's smallest wagon can once again be had with a manual transmission, though only in racy T5 AWD form; a 5-speed automatic remains standard on the 2.4i (and optional on the T5). Other changes are similar to the V50's sedan sibling, the S40: Standard climate control and leather-and-aluminum gearshift, optional navigation for the 2.4i model, and new equipment for the Preferred and Climate packages.

V70: The big wagon gets a new R-Design model for 2010; it includes 18" wheels, a sport-tuned chassis, tailgate spoiler, and unique trim inside and out. It's powered by the same 3.2 liter inline six as the base-model V70, although that engine is now available in a 225 hp PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) version as well as the 235 hp ULEV version in last year's car. All V70s get a new grille and silver roof rails, and the optional navigation system has been updated for ease of use.

XC60: (photo) The XC60 is Volvo's first small CUV. This sleek 5-seater is offered in two models, the X60 3.2 and the X60 T6 AWD. The former gets a 3.2 liter inline six in either 235 hp ULEV form or cleaner 225 hp PZEV form; both engines power the front wheels. The T60 is powered by a 281 hp turbocharged 3-liter inline six that drives all four wheels. As you'd expect from a Volvo, the XC60 is brimming with safety equipment, including the new City Safety system. At speeds below 19 MPH, City Safety will automatically hit the brakes to avoid (or lessen the severity of) a collision.

XC70: The 3.2 model now offers a PZEV version of the engine with 10 fewer horsepower (225) than the standard engine. The 3.2 also gets a new grille, more chrome trim, and the navigation system has been updated. The T6 AWD model gets a host of new standard features, including leather upholstery, power passenger seat, integrated child booster seats, and wood interior trim.

XC90: Volvo's largest SUV gets a long list of new standard equipment, including leather seats with power adjustment for both driver and passenger, a third-row seat, three-row climate control, moonroof, rear park assist, and an integrated center booster seat. The 3.2 R-Design adds a compass in the rear view mirror, while the V8 gets a wood-trimmed cabin, heated front seats, headlight washers, cabin filter, and rain-sensing wipers. The V8 R-Design model has been discontinued.

BEYOND 2010:

C30: The 2011 C30 will get an updated front fascia to further differentiate it from the S40.

C70: For 2011, the C70 will get a host of new standard equipment, including an automatic transmission, SIRIUS satellite radio, and Sovereign Hide leather upholstery. Volvo values the additional equipment at $4,000, but the C70's price will not increase -- in fact it will drop by $50, to $40,800.

Hyundai: What's coming in 2010 - - and beyond

CONFIRMED FOR 2010:

ACCENT: All Accents boast improved fuel economy; EPA estimates are up 1 MPG across the board, to 28 MPG city/34 MPG highway for manuals and 27/36 for automatics. Automatic Accents get a fuel economy indicator with red, yellow and green lights. The new Accent Blue replaces the GS Base as the entry-level Accent. It has a lower suspension and revised gearing for its manual transmission, which raises its EPA estimates to 28/36. Unlike the old GS Base, the Blue offers air conditioning as an option. Other changes to the Accent include iPod USB ports and blue backlit gauges. GS models now offer antilock brakes as an option, and steering wheel audio controls are optional on the GLS sedan. The SE gets them as standard, along with a sunroof and cruise control.

ELANTRA TOURING: Although the Elantra Touring was just introduced in 2009, the it is being split into two models for 2010, the GLS and the SE. The GLS, which will be priced about $1,300 below the '09 Elantra Touring, gets power windows, locks and mirrors, air conditioning, CD player, and electronic stability control as standard; automatics also get cruise control. Roof rails, a telescoping steering column, trip computer, a height-adjustable driver's seat, cooled glovebox, retractable cargo cover, fog lights, sliding sun visors with illuminated mirrors, and a premium cloth interior will be offered as an optional Preferred Package. The Elantra Touring SE gets everything in the GLS Preferred Package plus a sunroof, heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, 17" alloy wheels, and a B&M Racing sport shifter for manual models.

TUCSON: (photo) Hyundai's all-new Tucson is over 3 inches longer than the old model, but weighs 61 lbs less. Power comes from a 176 horsepower 2.4 liter engine tied to a 6-speed automatic transmission. A more fuel-efficient "Blue" version follows for 2011 (see BEYOND 2010, below).

VERACRUZ: The base-model GLS gets a pile of new formerly-optional equipment as standard, including a power driver's seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, fog lights, roof rack, automatic headlights, a backup warning system, and an air-conditioned glovebox. All-wheel-drive models also get heated seats as standard. The GLS will also add navigation and a premium stereo as options. Both GLS and Limited will be available in six new colors.

BEYOND 2010:

ACCENT: An all-new Accent is in the works; it may arrive in 2010 as a 2011 model.

ELANTRA: The new Elantra sedan could show up as soon as 2010 (as a 2011 model). Hyundai is also planning coupe and crossover spin-offs of the Elantra platform, though it has yet to be determined if these cars will be introduced under the Elantra nameplate.

SONATA: (photo) An all-new Sonata arrives in Hyundai dealerships in early 2010 as a 2011 model; its shapely styling is a sharp contrast to the conservative styling of the previous generation. Base engine is a 198 horsepower direct-injected 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine; in place of a V6, Hyundai will add a turbocharged 2-liter engine later in the model run. A more fuel-efficient "Blue" version (also powered by the 2.4) will also follow.

TUCSON: Hyundai will introduce a version of the Tucson with a more fuel-efficient 2.0 liter engine, called the Tucson Blue.

EQUUS: The Equus ("eh-koos") is a high-end luxury sedan that Hyundai sells in its home market of South Korea. Hyundai recently released a new version of the Equus based on the Genesis Sedan, and will bring it to the United States in late 2010 as a 2011 model.

RUMORED:

SANTA FE: The 2010 Santa Fe may be getting updated styling and a new V6 engine

Toyota: What's new for 2010 - - and beyond

CONFIRMED FOR 2010:

4RUNNER: (photo) The 4Runner is all-new for 2010. The fifth-generation 4Runner is taller, wider and longer than the vehicle it replaces, and it retains its body-on-frame construction for off-road ruggedness. In a return to its roots, the new 4Runner will offer a 4-cylinder engine (2.7 liters, 157 horsepower), though only on the basic SR5 4x2 model; most 4Runners will be powered by a 270 hp 4.0 liter V6. The V8 engine from last year's 4Runner has been dropped. Model offerings include SR5, Limited, and a new Trail model specially designed for off-road performance. The 4Runner Trail offers Crawl Control and Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, both of which, until now, were exclusive to Toyota's top-of-the-line off-roader, the Land Cruiser.

AVALON: Aside from a new color ("Sandy Beach Metallic"), the Avalon is unchanged.

CAMRY: (photo) The Camry has been restyled for 2010 with new head- and taillights, bumper, grille, and wheels. The four-cylinder engine is a new 2.5 liter unit that produces 169 hp, 21 more than last year; SE models get 179 hp. The new engine can be had with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The optional V6 is unchanged. New standard equipment includes electronic stability control and auto up/down windows on all four doors; new options include a USB input jack, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and keyless ignition.

COROLLA: Electronic stability control is now standard.

FJ CRUISER: The good news is that the FJ's engine gets variable valve timing and other improvements, and now produces 20 more horsepower (259) while using a bit less fuel. The bad news: It now requires premium gas. Other news: Army Green replaces Voodoo Blue and the windshield washer tank is bigger. There's also a new Special Edition model, painted "Sandstorm" (beige?), including the roof, with a blacked-out hood. The Special Edition gets a host of comfort and convenience features as well as a Cycloe air cleaner, differential lock with A-Trac, Bilstein shock absorbers, all-weather floor mats, and TRD beadlock-style wheels with BFG all-terrain tires.

PRIUS: The Prius is all-new for 2010, with revised interior styling, a roomier interior, and -- most importantly -- a cleaner, more powerful, and more fuel-efficient powertrain. A new Eco Mode helps the driver to get better fuel economy, while Power Mode makes the Prius respond more crisply to the throttle. The Prius is now available in four trim levels, and new options include a solar-powered ventilating fan that runs when the car is parked and the ability to run the air conditioning off the traction battery, allowing the driver to cool of the car before getting in.

RAV4: New options include a backup camera for the base model, a JBL stereo system for the Sport, and a cargo cover for both Base and Sport models. The Sport Apperance Package is now available on 4x2 4-cylinder RAV4s.

In some parts of the country, 5.7 liter 4x4 models will get E85 flex fuel capability as standard. New standard equipment includes driver and passenger knee airbags, daytime running lights, running boards, a moonroof, roof rack, rear spoiler, power driver's seat, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and a towing package. Limited models add a rear-view-mirror backup camera, 20" wheels, and a power rear liftgate, and a navigation system is now available as an option. The Platinum model gets additional wood trim, a rear-seat entertainment system, and laser cruise control.

SIENNA: No changes. A redesigned Sienna is on the way for the 2011 model year.

All A3s get S-Line trim as standard, updated wheels, and optional wood trim, while the Premium Plus model adds Xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights.
A4: The A4 was all-new for 2009. For 2010, the 3.2 liter V6 has been dropped, leaving the turbocharged two-liter as the only engine choice. The 2010 A4 gets a few detail changes, including an updated navigation system, LED taillights for Premium Plus and Prestige models, new wheels for S-Line models, and some minor changes to option availability.

A5 CABRIOLET: (photo) The A5 Cabriolet is a new soft-top convertible version of the A5, which picks up where the A4 Cabrio left off.

Other changes include an upgraded navigation system and LED taillights for Premium Plus and Prestige models.

Short-wheelbase models get a trunk lid spoiler and optional carbon-fiber interior trim, while long-wheelbase A8s get ventilated massaging front seats.

Audi says the new nav system will respond to commands like "I'm hungry," "I need gas," and "I need coffee." (I want to know if it will respond to "Eew, I'm sitting on crickets!")

Compared to the old V8, the new V6 produces slightly less horsepower (333 hp vs. the V8's 340) but more torque (325 lb-ft compared to 302 lb-ft).
