Now that's a tough question

. So to give out a broad yet specific answer, I'll do it in the form of different criteria.
1. Design - It's a tough choice between the 2016 Veloster Turbo and the 2013 Genesis Coupe. However I think the Veloster's grille is too big, and that's the only thing I don't like about its design. Therefore, I think the Genesis Coupe wins this for me. However, the Veloster can still look good with the right modifications, but that's beside the point if we're talking about stock design. I find that the Genesis Coupe looks really good in yellow.
2. Performance - I don't wanna seem too biased to the Genesis here, but the Coupe scores another point for performance, particularly the 2013 3.8 V6. 348 horsepower to the rear wheels, 0-60mph in just 5 seconds. That sounds like a good deal, but - what made the Hyundai engineers even think of mating such a powerful engine to a
torque converter automatic? It would have been better if it was a DCT, but I guess they must have thought an 8-speed slushbox would be better. But hey, there's always a manual transmission option

.
3. Comfort - Comfort is a big requirement for a daily-driver car. Personally, I think post-2010 Hyundai cars are a bit lacking in this category. While they are still quite comfortable, especially the long-wheelbase Santa Fe (Grand Santa Fe in some markets), there are still others that I think are more comfortable. Now there's a tie in this segment between the
2009 Santa Fe which is the car I happily call my own, and the
2016 Grand Santa Fe. Both have soft suspensions that really help you stay relaxed especially on long drives.
4. Fuel Economy - I can't believe I'm even thinking of calling the Accent Diesel one of my favorite Hyundai cars. Truth is, I hate the Accent. However, there's one thing I can't help but actually like about the Accent CRDi, which is fuel economy. Note that I'm not talking about the petrol-engine-equipped Accent. I'm talking about the 1.5 CRDi hatchback. In an economy run conducted by the Department of Energy in the Philippines, the diesel Accent Hatch with a 7-speed AT took its place in the Top 20 list with fuel consumption at 25.64 km/l (72.43 mpg (UK) ).

Conclusion:
In summary, my favorite Hyundai cars are:
1. 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe for design
2. 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6 for performance
3. 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2016 Grand Santa Fe for comfort
4. 2016 Hyundai Accent CRDi hatch for fuel economy
