While the Genesis and Sonata sedans are due for some updates, the more important bit of news revolves around this anticipated 3-Series rival. Said to be highly influenced by the HCD-14 Concept, which took a bow at this year’s 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January, the new sedan will be larger than the 3-Series, while also taking inspiration from the future Genesis coupe.
An expected arrival is predicted sometime in 2016, though timing is vague at best. Powertrains are speculated to be either a 2.0L turbocharged four-banger, or an updated version of Hyundai’s 3.3L V6.
