The 16th APEC Clean Energy Ministerial Meeting and the 10th APEC Mission Innovation Ministerial Meeting, which will take place as co-events from August 25 to 27 at Bexco convention center, will bring in representatives from about 30 APEC member economies to discuss transition towards clean power, hydrogen and future fuels, AI-driven energy solutions and carbon reduction technologies.

The Korean automaker said it aims to showcase the capability of its electrified models and reinforce its commitment to a sustainable future by offering a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles and EVs. According to Hyundai Motor, the all-new Nexo, which will serve as the main official vehicle, exemplifies the automaker's hydrogen leadership and vision for green mobility as the hydrogen-powered car features a whopping 720 kilometers of driving range per charge. The automaker added that it will continue to raise awareness of hydrogen-powered vehicles throughout the APEC meetings.

Hyundai Launches Head-Turning IONIQ 6 Lease Offer for July
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. View post: Amazon Is Selling an 'Amazing' $210 Wireless Apple CarPlay Adapter for $35, and Shoppers Say It 'Works Great' A shockingly low lease price for a premium EV Hyundai's IONIQ 6 has been turning heads since it hit the streets, thanks to its futuristic design and ultra-smooth ride. Now, it's grabbing attention for another reason: price. For July 2025, Hyundai is offering an eye-catching lease deal that makes its electric sedan one of the most affordable ways to drive an EV right now. While most sleek, tech-forward EVs still sit in the $40K+ range, Hyundai's offer slashes the financial barrier for entry, especially if you've been EV-curious but hesitant to commit. With its curvy exterior, premium-feeling cabin, and impressive efficiency, the IONIQ 6 doesn't feel like a budget option. This is a car that looks and drives like a statement. 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 6 lease deal for July This month's lease offer covers the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 6 SE Standard Range. Hyundai is advertising a 24-month lease at just $169 per month with $3,999 due at signing (excluding taxes and fees). That brings the effective monthly cost to about $336, a strong value given the car's features, refinement, and curb appeal. 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 — Source: Hyundai The deal also includes a hefty $9,500 in lease cash, which helps lower the overall cost considerably. If you pick a car that's been sitting on a dealer lot for over 180 days, you can knock off an additional $1,000 thanks to Hyundai's Inventory Coupon. As with most lease offers, this one comes with a 12,000-mile-per-year cap and ends on July 31. An EV that blends design and substance The IONIQ 6 isn't just about style. It's backed up by real-world performance and practicality. The SE Standard Range model delivers 240 miles of EPA-estimated range on a full charge—plenty for most daily commutes—and offers fast-charging capability that can take the battery from 10% to 80% in under 20 minutes when plugged into a 350-kW DC fast charger.

Even the base SE trim features dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Hyundai's suite of advanced safety features, including lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. The sloped roofline might suggest tight quarters, but the rear seat is surprisingly spacious, and the ride is quiet and composed. Final thoughts If you're in the market for a stylish EV that doesn't skimp on tech or comfort, the IONIQ 6 is absolutely worth a look, especially at this price point. The deal undercuts even some gasoline-powered competitors in monthly cost, and with Hyundai's current cash offers, it's about as close to a no-brainer as EV leasing gets. 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 — Source: Hyundai Combine that with Hyundai's strong warranty, sleek styling, and excellent efficiency, and the IONIQ 6 becomes one of the smartest EV leases of the summer. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Hyundai is About to Make One of its Most Compelling SUVs Much Better
While both the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe and the Santa Cruz compact pickup truck are dripping with appeal—the former with its boxy, Land Rover-esque styling and the latter with its new-age Subaru BRAT thing going on—both share a common weak point. On models equipped with Hyundai's turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, the transmission used is a jerky dual-clutch automatic. AI Quick Summary Hyundai will replace the problematic dual-clutch transmission in the 2026 Santa Fe and Santa Cruz with a traditional automatic, improving drivability and addressing warranty issues. Despite shared components, Kia will not follow this change. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next 0:00 / 0:00 While other automakers with similar transmissions haven't seen as much trouble with this automated transmission and have even excelled at them (Volkswagen, Porsche), others struggled with them (namely Ford last decade with its PowerShift automatic). When done right, the transmission type offers a one-two punch of nearly uninterrupted torque flow during shifts—as the next gear is essentially pre-selected—a boon for fuel economy, while those shifts can be quicker than in a traditional automatic, delivering a sporty feel. But they're complex and sensitive to less-than-ideal tuning. Hyundai's dual-clutch automatic has faced a slew of warranty issues causing costly repairs for the Korean automaker. And now those troubles may have factored into a big change: Hyundai confirmed to MotorTrend that both the Santa Fe and Santa Cruz will indeed drop the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) in the Santa Fe and Santa Cruz in favor of a traditional torque-converter automatic transmission going forward. There are many reasons to celebrate the move. For starters, we've noted the DCT's poor low-speed response and at times clunky behavior in both Hyundai models. In the Santa Fe in particular, the transmission is among the only notable shortcomings in an otherwise well-styled, comfortable, and affordable three-row SUV. Any even-OK regular automatic would surely perform better and offer a smoother drive, as proven by the Santa Fe Hybrid model's perfectly fine six-speed automatic. Then there are the various recalls and warranty repairs surrounding the DCTs, which usually required wholesale replacement of the transmission and customers to suffer through lengthy downtimes due to parts availability and service time. The switch to the traditional automatic transmission will affect all Santa Fes and Santa Cruz models with the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine (Santa Fe is available with a different hybrid powertrain, while the Santa Cruz offers a non-turbo 2.5-liter four that already came with a normal automatic). Hyundai isn't saying that the recall and repair issues are behind the transmission switch, opting instead to offer the explanation that the traditional automatic 'became available in our development cycle, and we determined that it provided ideal overall drivability.' Even so, we can't help but think those replacements weren't great for its bottom line. Kia, which shares some platforms and components with Hyundai, also deploys the DCT on certain models in its lineup but says it isn't making a change. Pressed for comment, a Kia spokesperson said 'there are no plans to move away from the DCT.' While Hyundai and Kia are tied to the hip in their home country, the brands are treated as separate companies in North America, and make separate decisions.
