Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation, part of the Hyundai Motor Group (HMG), have renewed their partnerships with FIFA through 2030. The duo have been associated with FIFA for over two decades. The newly inked agreement sees two HMG subsidiaries – Boston Dynamics and Supernal – into the equation. Until the end of the decade, the renewed partnerships will cover several FIFA competitions, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 and the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The Indian arm of the British carmaker Morris Garages closed the month of May 2023 with a 25 per cent growth. It sold 5,006 units in the month, during which we witnessed the launch of Comet EV and the Blackstorm Edition of the Gloster. 

The seventh-gen Azera, known as Grandeur in its home country, first broke cover in November last year. Now, it has arrived to wow the Middle East and African markets. The Azera is Hyundai’s flagship sedan, measuring over five metres in length. And besides packing tons of equipment, be it creature comforts or safety features, the striking-looking car is available with a 3.5-litre V6 and a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol. As you’d expect, with 296hp/358Nm, the former mill is for those thrill seekers. But on the other hand, the latter comes with the goodness of an electric motor, enabling emission-free driving and keeping the overall running costs in check. Expect Hyundai to announce the pricing for the Middle East soon.
