New Hyundai Inventory
Hyundai vehicles are highly popular today, but this wasn't always the case. In the 1980s and 1990s, they were often seen as budget options for college students. Let's explore the company's journey to becoming a respected brand.
The Early Days
In 1986, the Hyundai Excel was introduced in the United States and received positive feedback from both customers and critics. However, it soon became clear that the car had higher-than-average repair needs. By the early 1990s, Hyundai increased its investment in research and development and enhanced its warranty program to cover necessary repairs.
The Rise to Respectability
By the early 2000s, Hyundai was catching up with brands like Honda and Toyota in terms of initial vehicle reliability rankings. By 2006, it had become one of the top five brands most respected by consumers. In 2012, the Hyundai Elantra was named Car of the Year after surpassing 200,000 units sold.
Hyundai Today
Hyundai sells over 400,000 vehicles annually, including popular models such as the Accent, Elantra, and Sonata. The company also offers electric vehicles like the Kona and IONIQ for environmentally conscious consumers.
