Hyundai ranked by J.D Power

Congratulations Hyundai!!

  On Wednesday, July 22^nd, Hyundai accomplished another tremendous achievement when J.D. Power and Associates announced that we ranked No. 2 among non-premium automakers in the 2015 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study. Hyundai was the highest-ranked non-premium brand in the study last year - only the niche brand Mini placed higher than us in the 2015 study.

Once again, in a J.D. Power study, we finished ahead of Ford, Honda, Nissan and Toyota. In its 20^th year, the APEAL study examines owners’ assessments of the design, content, layout, and performance of their new vehicle.

 

  The 2015 Hyundai Sonata ranked second in the midsize car segment. Furthermore, five Hyundai models (Elantra, Genesis, Santa Fe, Tucson and Veloster) increased their scores in this year’s study. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata finished second in the midsize car segment by just two points – 817 v. 819. The brand also ranked No. 1 overall in the critical Audio/Communication/ Entertainment/Navigation category.

2015 APEAL Results and Executive Summary

• Hyundai Ranks second among non-premium automakers
• Brand continues to improve year-over-year
• Sonata finishes in second place in its segment
• Brand finishes in the top two rankings among non-premium automakers for second year in a row 

   Finishing among the top two non-premium brands in this year’s J.D. Power, the APEAL Study shows Hyundai takes design, technology, features, and performance seriously across the entire lineup. Having the best-selling Sonata ranking among the top two in its class is a remarkable accomplishment and we are committed to delivering the highest customer experience possible to our owners.

 

   As you may recall, Hyundai recently ranked second among non-premium automakers and fourth among all brands in the J.D. Power 2015 U.S. Initial Quality Study^SM (IQS). The 2015 HyundaiTucson was awarded for the highest initial quality in the small SUV segment and the 2015 Hyundai Accent earned the highest IQS honor in the small-car segment for the second year in a row.

You need a reason to buy an Elantra GT? Here's 10 of em'

10 Reasons you need buy a Hyundai Elantra GT

   

   From its sleek projector headlights and redesigned grille to the available LED tail lights, the Elantra GT creates a signature style that combines functionality with a distinctly European flair. From the Driver Selectable Steering Mode (DSSM) to the 6-speed manual transmission, discover all the details that make Elantra GT like no other hatchback on the road.  Here are 10 reasons to get into an Hyundai Elantra GT today!

1. Its Affordable!
   Base versions start under $20,000.  You can add a style package for only $2,750 and a tech package for $2,350 more. That is significantly cheaper than the Toyota Prius and Lexus  CT 200h, but competitive with the Subaru Impreza Premium.

2. It'll fit all your friends.
   Even the big ones! The 5-passenger wagon has enough leg room and more than 40 cubic inches of headroom in front. So volunteer to drive when you go out because even your tallest friends will fit.

3. It is from a brand that lacks image problems.
 Hyundai is young a marque on the rise. It is not enmeshed with government funding. It is not trying to figure out how to keep momentum. And it does not demand the price premium of a luxury brand name. It's a refreshing change.

4. The Interior is sleek.
   Buttons for the telematics, temperature and radio controls are presented in a straightforward, uncluttered way. Hyundai is not interested in being too clever or cute with its inside display, which is a really advantage as others seem to push technology just for bragging rights.

5. It looks better than other wagon competitors.
   It's arguable cooler than the Ford Matrix, Toyota Venza or the Mazda Sport. The Lexus C looks pretty sleek, but it costs almost $10,000 more. And for looks, it blows the Kia Soul and Nissan Cube out of the water!

6. You can whip it.
 Sure, the car is a bit sluggish off the line, but the driver-specific steering modes and its trim physique made it easily navigable and nimble, event through cluttered streets.

7.  It has a large sunroof.
  Never underestimate the power of a VERY BIG SUNROOF. It floods your car with sunlight, making the whole thing seem large, light and airy. And, it adds an almost luxurious cache to the whole enterprise.

8. You could run a bodega out of the back.
   Storage space in this baby abounds: With the seats down, it has 51-cubic feet of cargo, one foot less than the spacious Subaru Impreza Sport Premium.

9. It has four doors.
   Consider that another notch in the practicality post. Yes, it's an obvious reason, but some hatchbacks don't have four doors.

10. It's efficient.
   The Hyundai Elantra GT get 28mpg in the city and 39mpg on the highway. That beats the Kia Soul, Toyota Venza and Ford Focus SEL.
