In an economy where millions of people are struggling, Hyundai is trying to help.  In 2009, they developed the Hyundai Assurance Program to get people into the showrooms.  This plan stated that if anyone bought a Hyundai, then lost their job, Hyundai would take back the automobile, no questions asked.  Now, your Chicago Hyundai dealer will be able to offer this throughout 2010, as Hyundai has extended the program through the end of the year. 

What’s making the 2010 version of the program even better?   Hyundai is offering  free roadside assistance with it.  Basically, any assistance that a driver would get through AAA, Hyundai will provide for free.  These services include jump starts, bringing you gas if you run out, help if you lock your keys in your car, flat tire replacement, and towing. Wow, this really is an added bonus.  It is great to see a company looking out for the general public, while trying to get their autos sold and on the roadways.

Now, it’s time to take a look at some of great Hyundai models waiting for you at a local dealership.  The Chicago Hyundai Sonata is a dependable car with fine amenities.   It is a mid size sedan,  has 4 doors, and can carry 5 people.  The car was redesigned for the 2009 model year, so the 2010 model remains unchanged.  The 2011 model due out later this year or early next year will be a bit sportier than current models.  Either way, the Sonata at your Chicago Hyundai dealer is affordable, ranks Excellent in Safety, and received Good marks for performance, exterior and reliability.  Take a test drive today!

Another great model is the Chicago Santa Fe.  It is a crossover that was revamped for the 2010 model year, getting new exterior features and powertrains.   The new Theta-4 engine takes the place of the 2.7-liter V-6 engine in the 2009 model and reduces fuel usage by 17%.  Exterior wise, Hyundai offered some new color choices for the 2010 models, put on new front and rear bumpers and wheels, to name a few. 

Whether you are looking for a mid-size sedan or crossover vehicle, the Chicago Santa Fe and Chicago Hyundai Sonata are two choices waiting for you at a nearby dealership.  And, the Assurance Program is an added bonus in case you need it.  Consider a Hyundai today!

With the 2010 Tucson now at your Chicago Hyundai dealer, Hyundai has again accomplished the task of making an affordable, yet quality crossover for its loyal drivers.

This basic model will start at just under 19K, providing a 2.4-liter Theta II four-cylinder engine.  Down the road, a bigger four engine will be available, for those power seeking drivers! Continue Reading…

It’s hard to not like something so likeable.  Like teddy bears and puppies and…the Hyundai Genesis.  You just can’t do it.  The Genesis provides the ultimate in luxury sedans – an incredible car at an incredible price.  But how would it ever rack up against top luxury car manufacturers?  How could it possibly compete with BMW, Lexus and Mercedes Benz?  Why don’t you ask the 20+ awards its recieved in only its first year.  They would probably say its stacking up pretty well.

When Hyundai announced their 2009 Elantra Touring, I could not wait to get the chance to test drive it at my local Chicago Hyundai dealer. Being a big fan of the previous models, I was sure that this new model would be sure to live up to the same standards.

When I showed up at my Hyundai Chicago dealer I could not help but to test drive Hyundai’s new Touring model. That’s right, the hatchback is back. The 2009 Elantra Touring is a spicy little ride.

I realized all of the perks that this new model would be able to deliver. This new design offers much more room than before, with the most cargo capacity of any vehicle in its class.

Hyundai's Gas Promotion Just in Time

With summer driving season upon us, and recent attacks on Nigeria’s oil pipelines (the U.S. imports almost half of Nigeria’s production of light crude, which is the oil used in gasoline refining), gasoline has returned to the headlines as energy analysts predict higher prices at the pump, which may just end up paying dividends for Hyundai. Already benefiting from an increase in attention after edging Toyota in J.D. Power & Associates Initial Quality Study, which measures problems in the first three months of owning a new vehicle, as reported by buyers, the Korean automaker implemented a summer promotion on Tuesday, June 30, 2009, guaranteeing buyers of its vehicles one year’s worth of gas at $1.49 per gallon.

The Hyundai Elantra Touring offers a smooth ride, and a surprisingly spacious interior

Growing up, my siblings  favorite argument was about the back of the car. Neither of them ever had enough room, and heaven forbid either of them ever sit in the middle seat, or behind the driver and survive with a little less leg room. Now they’re older and wiser, but their arguments haven’t really progressed. Put the two of them in a car together and you only need to wait to see who will throw the first punch. With that thought in mind, I decided it would be a good idea to bring both of them with me to a Chicago Hyundai dealer for a test drive of a2009 Chicago Hyundai Elantra Touring.
