The push button gear change (aptly referred to as drive by wire by the Hyundai team) interface is the best application I’ve seen to date. Well designed and easy to use. My only gripe: wireless charging is a slot in the centre console with no air venting, forcing your mobile phone (especially iPhones) to overheat. CarPlay has a few bugs, but these should be ironed out in future software upgrades, and can also be mitigated by using the USB connectivity. Not ideal in a new car, but there is a workaround.

It’s aggressive stance is intimidating from a rear view mirror. The interior is plush and well appointed. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included as standard on both derivatives (Exec and Elite). The 148kW 2.2d delivers 440Nm of torque via the slick 8-spd DCT gearbox. The drive is sublime and rather good through the corners.
