About Hyundai Vehicles
Vehicle Summary
Founded in 1967 and with headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, Hyundai is one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in the world. Today, Hyundai is primarily known for its selection of sedans and SUVs, though the brand has delved into the luxury market with its branch-off Genesis label. In recent years, Hyundai has also released two all-electric vehicles and many hybrid versions of their most popular models.
The midsize Hyundai Sonata sedan is one of the company's top sellers, offering a spacious ride for up to five people and such standard equipment as a 2.4L four-cylinder engine at 185 hp (2017 model year), 16-inch alloy wheels, full power accessories, and Bluetooth® connectivity. Like many of Hyundai's more popular models, the Sonata is also offered with a hybrid engine.
The Hyundai Tucson is the automaker's compact crossover SUV offering, boasting a roomy interior and a 2.0L four-cylinder base engine at 164 hp in its 2018 model year. Other standard equipment on the 2018 Tucson includes stain-resistant upholstery, a five-inch touchscreen interface, and a six-speaker sound system. The Tucson is also available with optional all-wheel drive for additional traction and control on any terrain.
The Hyundai Genesis was the automaker's first attempt at a luxury sedan, which was released in 2009. Offering a standard 3.8L V6 at a whopping 311 hp and generous features like a rearview camera, automatic dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, and a hands-free trunk in its 2016 model year, the Genesis has a lot to offer. In fact, Hyundai saw so much success with the Genesis model that it branched off to become its own luxury brand in 2017. Meanwhile, Hyundai continues to expand its offering of cars and SUVs, introducing the all-new Hyundai Palisade for the 2020 model year.

Reviews for Hyundai
This car fits all of my basic needs!
I had been looking for a functional SUV for about a year that would be able to comfortably fit adults and small children without feeling like I'm driving a large bus and this car is it! Very spacious seating and a quick acceleration and deceleration time when driving. I also like how this car has a lane identifying feature where it makes sure that I'm staying within the lanes. I haven't had a car with this feature before and although it is sometimes a little bothersome, it overall helps me out a lot! The only thing that I wish it had was air vents in the back seat, especially in the hot Vegas summers, this feature would be a great addition. However, the air conditioning system is very powerful and does reach everyone in the vehicle even when on a low setting. Overall, I am very impressed with this car and it has exceeded my expectations!
Pros
- Braking: Quick brake time
- Seat Comfort: Very comfortable seats that adjust with a bar under the seat and have a carseat bar in the back of the backseats which is fabulous!
- Fuel Economy: Not too expensive gas wise.
Cons
- Weather Versatility: No air conditioning vents in the back seat
Engine died after 3 months of owning
I loved this car for 3 months. However, 3 months after buying from Carmax, the engine died. It's been at the Hyundai service garage for 2 weeks and I have yet to confirm whether they will replace. I hope they will since it is still 7,000 miles under my warranty expires. I have not yet received a loaner car so I am paying a car note on a car that I cannot drive. The guy at the garage said to expect to not have a car for 2 months because of the back-up with engine issues. This car has good reviews, but it sounds like the 2017 engine is a bit of a lemon. Beware. I hope Hyundai comes through for me.
Pros
- Cargo Space:
Cons
- Reliability:
Had a lot of issues, went back to Nissan
This was an OK car. It’s a beautiful car with decent tech, spacious interior, quick acceleration, and sporty drive. However it rides very rough and has a ton of road noise. I also had several issues with a car from the time I bought it from Carmax in 2015 with 20,000 mi. to the time I traded it back in at Carmax in 2021 95,000 mi. Issues include transmission failure, steering column broke, piston slap, timing chain rattle, AC issues, electrical issues, and numerous suspension issues. if you’re going to buy any Hyundai, get Maxcare. Hyundai. also didn’t honor their warranty. I don’t think I will be purchasing another Hyundai, I have a Nissan Altima now that I am very happy with.
Pros
- Styling: Beautiful car
- Dashboard: Nice technology, spacious interior, attractive layout
- Power: decent power for a small car
Cons
- Reliability: every time I turn around there’s something else wrong with the car, Hyundai didn’t really stand behind their warranty either.
- Cabin Noise: top three loudest cars I’ve ever driven.
- Ride and Handling: it’s handled well but rode horribly.
