Learn Everything About Hyundai Cars, Models, Recalls And More

With more than 42 automobile brands in all over the U.S.A, sustaining for more than 30 years in the market takes a lot of effort for any company out there. In today’s competitive market, one small mistake can make you stranded alone in the pact. Only providing good cars isn’t the story today. Every small thing matters today. Hyundai is one of those automakers who not only packs everything at a very reasonable rate but also doesn’t leave any stone unturned for highest customer satisfaction. Other than the Japanese giants, if there’re any other brands that can make your journey special, the South Korean manufacturers are the ones you’d definitely think about.

No models from Hyundai U.S.A are overpriced, in fact some are available for cheaper than the market average. And along with these very affordable cars, the quality workmanship for maintenance is also under budget. Whether you want a Hyundai used car or new car, you’ll not only have it at a very reasonable rate, but the spare parts are also quite a lot affordable compared to the competitors.

Although their cars are quite affordable to buy, that doesn’t mean cheap materials are used to build one. In fact, having their roots in engineering & construction helped them not only to develop their own highly advanced engine and other mechanical components but also keep the rate at common man’s height. Along with their own innovation, the suppliers they work with deliver high quality equipment that keep your Hyundai running without much fuss.

Along with being reliable and affordable, most of the Hyundais we see on road are very cheap to maintain. Yes, they require regular maintenance but that doesn;t cost you a fortune. On average, the annual maintenance cost of the majority of Hyundai cars is more or less $462, which is much lower than the industry average of $650.

Another good thing about buying a Hyundai is once you buy one, you can head towards a pretty relaxed life afterwards, thanks to the availability of the spare parts at every service centre currently present in the U.S.A. However, if there’s any out-of-the box issue in your car, for a short time that can be a problem if the required parts are not available at the respective place, but the Hyundai executives are there to take care of your car in that tight situation.

For those who want to buy a new Hyundai, there are almost 28 models available now with loads of variants for each. Whether electrifying your drive or steering in the conventional way, for everyone there’s everything. If you want to go for a used Hyundai, this lineup is even bigger in number as it includes all those that are discontinued along with the current ones.

Apart from the KIA motors, did you find any other automaker that offers 10 years (or 100,000 miles) of warranty on the powertrains? Well, Hyundai does so. Not only that, for the new models, a 5 years/60000 miles warranty, 7-year/unlimited-mile anti-perforation warranty, 5 years of roadside assistance along with other warranties
are provided. Lifetime warranty on batteries is given on hybrid & electric vehicles. However, the used ones are not left alone in the corner. There are many certified programs for the used vehicles along with the used car dealers that offer warranties on the used models. While, you cannot transfer the basic warranty, the 10 year powertrain warranty is transferable.

Hyundai models deliver pretty good mileage mostly due to the lighter engines they provide. So if you are looking for a mile cruncher with low on gas, a hyundai is a great option for you.

Most vehicles offered by Hyundai U.S.A come with a very sharp design that catches anyone’s attention in the crowd. Along with that, all the models in their lineup offer plenty of useful features that give you hassle free ownership experience.

Just like Honda Motors, Hyundai is also an award winning automaker. Since 2015, they have won more safety awards than any other automaker by IIHS. With cherry on top, the Hyundai Elantra was titled the North American Car for the year 2021. For more information, you can visit here.
