I think Hyundai/Kia’s biggest draw is how they manage to sell good looking high tech cars at low enough prices to compete in the average consumer market. They’re relatively inexpensive, but they look beautiful and their onboard technology is some of the best in the industry.
@@orange_turtle3412exactly! That’s why I’m considering Hyundai too if Toyota becomes too expensive and lacks tech that I would need. While Toyota is always gonna be the best in reliability, it’s time that Toyota stop living their life with the reputation of cars they built decades ago. They gotta add more to it. It’s good to know that basic safety features are available even in lowest trim of Hyundai.

I had an old Hyundai Azera as a hand me down car from my father, then I bought my first car, Kia Morning, and then upgraded to 2019 Kia Forte. Now I drive Ioniq 5. Every single car did not break down or had any issue which was amazing. Throughout my ownerships, it was like being a fan of an underdog sports team that made it to the championship games. I am proud of these guys stepping up their game each time they launch a new line of cars.

Test drive and they won't fail to impress👍
So u don’t even keep them longer than 4 years? So you don’t even know if they’re reliable or not. I’ve had my Toyota for 15 years already 0 problems or reasons to buy a new car
As a BMW owner for last 10 years, i never considered a Hyundai for my next car. Until i test drove my friends new Genesis G80. It was absolutely astonishing and I would love to trade in my BMW for it.
@darkruliermy first Hyundai was bought in 2011 and it's still with me and runs great. It has been a very reliable car for all the years I've owned till now.
Reliable and Hyundai in the same sentence gives mechanics night sweats. Enter the “Well mine ran half a million miles and never had a problem” guy who doesn’t understand the concept of probabilities
My Hyundais cars engine stalled after the dealership did an engine consumption test. The crank shaft broke and now they won’t honor their warranty even though my car is still under warranty. I drove the car only 30 miles after the oil consumption test and the engine blew up. I’m so disappointed in Hyundai they don’t care
my parents have exclusively owned Hyundai vehicles for the last 2 decades almost. and they have gotten massively better in the Indian market in the last 5 years specifically. can't wait for genesis to be launched in India
First new car is the 2022 Tuscon and I love it. The features and ease of using them is amazing. Plus the longest warranty ever! And I get 5 years free car service at the dealership... Talk about value and savings! I'm getting so much for the price I paid.... I love my Tuscon and when time comes to trade, it's gonna be a another Tuscon.
Hyundai, the longest warranty except they do everything in their power to give you the finger. I guess having a long warranty is nice but that just mean they’re not confident in their product lmao
I own a Genesis G80 and can vouch for the quality. It's well made and my mechanic says these things are pretty bullet proof. They're also excellent to drive and super comfortable. Hyundai have done a great job in recent years stepping up their game and I can see myself buying more of them.
I've owned 5 Hyundai's and total 7 Hyundai's in my family since 2013. 13' Accent GLS 13' Elantra GLS 13' Veloster Base Manual 18' Elantra Turbo Manual 22' Kona N 22' Kona N 22' Santa Cruz Turbo. Great cars. apart from the 1.6L engine recall.
I'm on my third but still ove it lol. My first Hyundai was the 2015 Sonata burned down got paid a bunch of money from insurance and Hyundai. Bought and even newer Sonata with less miles lol. Now I'm finally in the genesis GV80 that I just got last week loving it so far.

I work at CPG as a driver (our winding track is in the opening). I'm impressed with the handling of the vehicles especially with the Genesis and Ioniq models. They've improved greatly with the suspension of the Palisades in past year and the EV vehicles not only are fun, with fast acceleration but they are comfortable as well.

Absolutely mind-blowing! 🚗🌟 Watching how Hyundai became the third-largest automaker in the world is truly inspiring! 🌐💪 Innovation and dedication at its finest! 🚀
I just leased a ‘24 Ioniq 5 at the beginning of November. So far, about 4k miles in, the car has been great. No issues (not that there should be in a brand new car) and no problem with charging. I’ve taken a couple of small (< 1000 mile) road trips that have been uneventful. Mostly, I just charge at home once a week, which is super convenient. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, but I know they aren’t for everyone.
When I was fresh out of college, and starting my first "real in my industry job," I did some research, and decided instead of buying a used Toyota Camry or Ford Taurus, I bought what was then the cheapest new car available in the US - the Hyundai Accent. Hyundai still had a "questionable" reputation then, but they offered a 100,000 mile warranty. I had zero problems with it during 150,000 miles of ownership (which only took 5 years.) It was remarkably well put together for being a tiny little econobox that didn't even have power windows.
Hyundai is the most beloved brand here in India, the market share is #2 in this big country. Expecially Creta is a great SUV which opened SUV market in India 8 years ago. Respect Hyundai!

Currently driving an Ioniq 6 (same color as displayed at 0:45). It is simply amazing - best car I have ever had and we ever had in the family. Before that we had a c-class, a3, a6, VW Passat, T4. Now we have the Ioniq 6 for daily commute and a VW T6.1 for longer trips with the family. We think about switching to the EV9 for the T6.1 but maybe we take the Ioniq 7 or remain - lets see.
My dad never trusted Hyundai for a good reason, and haven't bought a single car from them even when living in Korea for the last 20+ years. However, he is now considering Genesis as his next car. This means something.
I currently drive a X5 (F15), but if I were to buy something new today I'd get a Genesis. Test drove the GV80 and GV70 and they are awesome. My mother drives an older Elantra and has never had issues. Everytime I have to rent a car, I always go with a Korean brand. The outdated narrative needs to die once and for all. They've been making quality vehicles for awhile now. Also, if I ever had to buy an EV I'd get the new Ionic 5N. That one is a game changer.
I think Hyundai's commitment to trying unconventional or new techniques/innovations is a huge part of its success. When I was buying a car, Hyundai stood out to me because of its innovation at the price point which competitors could not offer as well
Not really. They know they cannot out-toyota Toyota and out-honda Honda so they have to find a competitive way to thrive in the car market like low price, adding more features for the price point, looking different, and having the longest warranty. That last one is a money loser (for any car maker) but they have to do it because their quality is not there yet. If a Hyundai has the same price and features of a Toyota, nobody will look at their cars lol.
@@WAN2TREE4Toyota will always stay true because they're the True commuter brand. Honda is losing their game, Hyundais outsell Honda's, Honda's prices are being gouged, and losing their QC in their new lineups since 2020. Hyundai in automotive and any other industry they invest their money they put it where their mouth is. That alone Is respectable whereas other companies just rather pocket their profits and not innovate at all.
Even being a low quality copycat, people need to understand, is no mean feat. Do you understand how many countries in the world, not only build cars, but export them globally? Not many. Does Canada have their own car builder? How about the Netherlands. So the fact that Hyundai went from "low quality copycat" to the 3rd biggest by volume is astounding. And whether or not you personally like their cars, you can't afford to continue laughing at them. Because even in the 90s they were no laughing stock. And certainly is not now.
I have owned performance BMWs for almost 30 years, but I decided to not be a badge snob and I tried something new. I still have a BMW in the garage, right next to the Kia EV6 GT that I bought over a year ago. The quality and performance of the Kia have blown me away. I’m a Kia AND BMW fanboy now.
I am German in Germany and I totally underestimated their formerly poor quality. Two years ago I made some test drives with with a few different EVs and also the Kia EV6 GT AWD that was totally outstanding and it had everything I wanted in a car, smart technical safety mechanisms everywhere, enormous power with zero noise, fantastic handling, just jaw dropping. That impression created a 180° turn on my outdated opinion of their quality. Today I also drive a Kia EV and I am really happy with it and its 7 year warranty, more than 3 times longer than the warranty of "quality" German cars. How come they are supposedly so great and expensive, even without basic technology features and the manufacturer doesn't trust in their own technical reliability!? I have been born in a neighborhood that isn't wealthy in average and when I visit and look at the cars, I'd say 50% of the vehicles are made by Hyundai or Kia, because people are not into wasting money on a prestigious brand, they just want a reliable daily driver with plenty of warranty to be safe on the mobility budget and buy their inexpensive combustion cars. They used to drive smaller VW's, Opel, Ford, some still do but the majority switched to South Korean cars. I hope EVs will soon be available to the masses, else climate change will mess up this planet ever faster than we believe. Kia is working on the EV3 (this year) and EV4 (next year) which are supposed to be more affordable. Good luck to the Hyundai Motor Group - you guys are doing things right and are on a great path 👍

Hyundai and Kia collaborate with Samsung, LG, and SK companies for semiconductors, software, telecom, batteries, ship building, heavy industries, bio science, construction, etc. It also acquired Boston Robotics. They have top class designers from Europe to work on futuristic designs. Japan became wealthy in the 80's because they sold fuel-efficient autos when time required it (1979 oil crisis). South Korea is coming of in the age of EVs and AIs.
I've bought Hyundai exclusively for 20 years. Never had an issue with them. I've had great experience with customer service at dealerships. I only take my vehicle only to dealership for maintenance. I've been buying the Elantra for 10 years. Originally I bought the Sonata .. but now it's too big for my needs.
I love the way Hyundai structured their ownership stake with Kia. Kia was wounded and ripe for the picking. Hyundai wasn’t greedy and not only helped eliminate a lot Kia’s debt, but also reduced their stake in the company over time. This is great business strategy with integrity. Both companies get to eat from the same table while achieving growth. I guess they learned from Ford, GM and Daimler’s mistakes.
Back in 2000s, they weren't even close to my consideration and recently I've had a Hyundai and a Genesis. They have been nothing but reliable and great.
Hyundai Elantras are very reliable. My first car was Elantra. 1996. I bought it when it was 10 years old. Never had any problem with it, had it for a couple of years. Later I bought much newer cars, from Fords, Opels, BMW’s, drove companies Merzedez, and many more, but neither was as reliable as Hyundai Elantra. Above all, I can trust Hyundai because it's a South Korean company.
I tried to rent a Tesla on a recent work trip but instead was told that I was being given a Hyundai Ioniq as no teslas were available. Frankly it was the best driving experience of my life. From soup to nuts it felt like a luxury vehicle. S. Korea has come a long way from the days of Daewoo
I am a proud owner of a 2007 KIA Sedona Minivan since new that has more than 210K miles on it without any major repair at all, just basic annual maintenance, and now waiting to get a KIA EV9 SUV. KIA is for me an exceptional brand.
I remember traveling to South Korea 🇰🇷 as a soldier twice and seeing the Hyuandai cars of that Era. They were total rust buckets during the early 90s, but soldiers bought them because they were cheap. One of the most common cars was Chevrolet Corsicas being as taxis. I have mixed feelings on some of their engineering, but the progress they have made is like night and day. They have made progress in areas that some brands have performed poorly in. More EVs if that matters, nicer interiors, and to a degree in styling.
@@jihanjoo That makes sense. The guy that has to deal with the daily operations (Chief Operating Officer) was like, "I'm not so sure this will go smoothly."

And invest time researching into Hyundais N division it'll make you appreciate the engineering they put into their cars. Don't listen to the hate, a lot of people will talk out their butt.

I paid $40,000 CAD for my 2024 N Line Kona. - if I wanted the features that were included in it in another vehicle I'd be paying at least 50% more from another automaker. I worked at Toyota as a rustproof tech, and got to drive every vehicle they've made + customer cars, Lexus's, and whatever used vehicles we had for sale. I was never really happy with Toyota's offerings, they were very stale when it came to the design, and often were far more expensive than both Kia and Hyundai offerings while offering a fraction of what was included with Hyundai. What sold me though was the 5 year warranty that comes with the car, peace of mind given their track record. And the fact I only pay $7 bi weekly to cover the tech, wheels, and extend the warranty to 8 years is insane.
My Hyundai engine started having issues at 3 years old. Decided to get rid of it at 5 years old just before the warranty expired. I couldn’t find a dealership to take it except for Nissan. Monday told me to sell it on my own because they wouldn’t send it to auction. It was only five years old and had less than 100KM. Bought the Nissan and eventually bought a Ford. Never buy a Hyundai if you expect to resell your vehicle.
They simply make good and long lasting cars with good features for affordable prices. We got a Hyundai i40 in 2014. Diesel, 70 liter tank (18.5 gallons), real world range of roughly 1000 to 1100Km (620 to 680 miles). Never any real issues that required repairs. Standard maintenance and such stuff and that was it over the course of 9, ALMOST 10 years. Just this week my battery finally died (after 9ish years; car stood still for like a month) and when I called the repair guy from the German automobile association (ADAC) he said that all these asian manufacturers are super reliable. So yea: reliable, affordable, good features for the price, good looks.
Among the three major Korean automakers, Hyundai, Kia, and Daewoo, Daewoo was acquired by GM and Kia was merged into Hyundai Group. Hyundai Motors rose to become one of the world's top three automakers in just 60 years since its establishment, and if it had not lost the Chinese market due to Chinese political propaganda, it might have become the world's number one sales company. Unlike other motor groups, Hyundai possesses original technologies in all areas, including internal combustion engines, hybrids, EVs, and hydrogen vehicles, so it has the advantage of responding quickly to market changes. Recently, it has been putting a lot of effort into launching luxury brands such as Genesis and supercars such as the N74, and I think the Ioniq 5N shows the pinnacle of EV technology. Hyundai's rapid development was due to the sacrifices of Koreans who suffered discrimination in the domestic market in the 80s and 90s, and the strong labor union is Hyundai's biggest Achilles' heel. As a Hyundai Tucson owner, I am thinking of the Ioniq 6N as my next car, and I hope it comes out under $70,000.

Edit: I see that they talk about the Excel later in the video.
haha my grandpa that lives in ulsan was one of the founding members in the factory. He still talks about how back in the days, car production would go on along side the building of the factory being built around them. It was crazy. The work ethic of these Korean are something you gotta give to them.
Hyundai certainly deserved it with their outstanding technology and design. As a customer perspective they do good. Well done, Hyundai. The hate and recalls are only because of their certain powertrains which is affecting them, like bad combo of Hybrid+DCT. They are weak in this area but if they sort it then they can be all-rounder.
I bought a used 2005 Santa Fe GLS back in 2006, and that baby is still running like a horse, just fixed wear and tear parts like timing belt etc. It helps me save lots of money every month!

My Hyundais cars engine stalled after the dealership did an engine consumption test. The crank shaft broke and now they won’t honor their warranty even though my car is still under warranty.

I own a Genesis G80 and can vouch for the quality. It's well made and my mechanic says these things are pretty bullet proof. They're also excellent to drive and super comfortable. Hyundai have done a great job in recent years stepping up their game and I can see myself buying more of them.

When I was fresh out of college, and starting my first "real in my industry job," I did some research, and decided instead of buying a used Toyota Camry or Ford Taurus, I bought what was then the cheapest new car available in the US - the Hyundai Accent. Hyundai still had a "questionable" reputation then, but they offered a 100,000 mile warranty. I had zero problems with it during 150,000 miles of ownership (which only took 5 years.) It was remarkably well put together for being a tiny little econobox that didn't even have power windows.

Currently driving an Ioniq 6 (same color as displayed at 0:45). It is simply amazing - best car I have ever had and we ever had in the family. Before that we had a c-class, a3, a6, VW Passat, T4. Now we have the Ioniq 6 for daily commute and a VW T6.1 for longer trips with the family. We think about switching to the EV9 for the T6.1 but maybe we take the Ioniq 7 or remain - lets see.
My dad never trusted Hyundai for a good reason, and haven't bought a single car from them even when living in Korea for the last 20+ years. However, he is now considering Genesis as his next car. This means something.
GENESIS Coupe it's a wonderful machine, very attractive and performance is on solid level. I have one and love it.
What changed his mind?
I currently drive a X5 (F15), but if I were to buy something new today I'd get a Genesis. Test drove the GV80 and GV70 and they are awesome. My mother drives an older Elantra and has never had issues. Everytime I have to rent a car, I always go with a Korean brand. The outdated narrative needs to die once and for all. They've been making quality vehicles for awhile now. Also, if I ever had to buy an EV I'd get the new Ionic 5N. That one is a game changer.
I agree.
I owned a honda before and it had so many problems.. now i owned a tucson.. 4 years later still going strong now. Keep it up Hyundai!
honda problems? go watch scotty kilmer....
I think Hyundai's commitment to trying unconventional or new techniques/innovations is a huge part of its success. When I was buying a car, Hyundai stood out to me because of its innovation at the price point which competitors could not offer as well
Not really. They know they cannot out-toyota Toyota and out-honda Honda so they have to find a competitive way to thrive in the car market like low price, adding more features for the price point, looking different, and having the longest warranty. That last one is a money loser (for any car maker) but they have to do it because their quality is not there yet. If a Hyundai has the same price and features of a Toyota, nobody will look at their cars lol.

Even being a low quality copycat, people need to understand, is no mean feat.
Do you understand how many countries in the world, not only build cars, but export them globally?
Not many. Does Canada have their own car builder? How about the Netherlands.
So the fact that Hyundai went from "low quality copycat" to the 3rd biggest by volume is astounding. And whether or not you personally like their cars, you can't afford to continue laughing at them. Because even in the 90s they were no laughing stock. And certainly is not now.
Very well said!!!!
Copycat?
@@Dlee234 I'm quoting the video.
🤭Ha ha haaaaaa🤥😜
But they were a laughingstock in the 90s. They were so unreliable that they had to offer a 10-year warranty to sell their cars.
I have owned performance BMWs for almost 30 years, but I decided to not be a badge snob and I tried something new. I still have a BMW in the garage, right next to the Kia EV6 GT that I bought over a year ago. The quality and performance of the Kia have blown me away. I’m a Kia AND BMW fanboy now.
I am German in Germany and I totally underestimated their formerly poor quality. Two years ago I made some test drives with with a few different EVs and also the Kia EV6 GT AWD that was totally outstanding and it had everything I wanted in a car, smart technical safety mechanisms everywhere, enormous power with zero noise, fantastic handling, just jaw dropping. That impression created a 180° turn on my outdated opinion of their quality.
Today I also drive a Kia EV and I am really happy with it and its 7 year warranty, more than 3 times longer than the warranty of "quality" German cars. How come they are supposedly so great and expensive, even without basic technology features and the manufacturer doesn't trust in their own technical reliability!?
I have been born in a neighborhood that isn't wealthy in average and when I visit and look at the cars, I'd say 50% of the vehicles are made by Hyundai or Kia, because people are not into wasting money on a prestigious brand, they just want a reliable daily driver with plenty of warranty to be safe on the mobility budget and buy their inexpensive combustion cars. They used to drive smaller VW's, Opel, Ford, some still do but the majority switched to South Korean cars.
I hope EVs will soon be available to the masses, else climate change will mess up this planet ever faster than we believe.
Kia is working on the EV3 (this year) and EV4 (next year) which are supposed to be more affordable.

Buying one car model for ten years? Lol do they really fall apart that quick?
I love the way Hyundai structured their ownership stake with Kia. Kia was wounded and ripe for the picking. Hyundai wasn’t greedy and not only helped eliminate a lot Kia’s debt, but also reduced their stake in the company over time. This is great business strategy with integrity. Both companies get to eat from the same table while achieving growth. I guess they learned from Ford, GM and Daimler’s mistakes.
Back in 2000s, they weren't even close to my consideration and recently I've had a Hyundai and a Genesis. They have been nothing but reliable and great.
Hyundai Elantras are very reliable. My first car was Elantra. 1996. I bought it when it was 10 years old. Never had any problem with it, had it for a couple of years. Later I bought much newer cars, from Fords, Opels, BMW’s, drove companies Merzedez, and many more, but neither was as reliable as Hyundai Elantra. Above all, I can trust Hyundai because it's a South Korean company.
I tried to rent a Tesla on a recent work trip but instead was told that I was being given a Hyundai Ioniq as no teslas were available. Frankly it was the best driving experience of my life. From soup to nuts it felt like a luxury vehicle. S. Korea has come a long way from the days of Daewoo
I am a proud owner of a 2007 KIA Sedona Minivan since new that has more than 210K miles on it without any major repair at all, just basic annual maintenance, and now waiting to get a KIA EV9 SUV. KIA is for me an exceptional brand.

I paid $40,000 CAD for my 2024 N Line Kona. - if I wanted the features that were included in it in another vehicle I'd be paying at least 50% more from another automaker.
I worked at Toyota as a rustproof tech, and got to drive every vehicle they've made + customer cars, Lexus's, and whatever used vehicles we had for sale. I was never really happy with Toyota's offerings, they were very stale when it came to the design, and often were far more expensive than both Kia and Hyundai offerings while offering a fraction of what was included with Hyundai.
What sold me though was the 5 year warranty that comes with the car, peace of mind given their track record. And the fact I only pay $7 bi weekly to cover the tech, wheels, and extend the warranty to 8 years is insane.
My Hyundai engine started having issues at 3 years old. Decided to get rid of it at 5 years old just before the warranty expired. I couldn’t find a dealership to take it except for Nissan. Monday told me to sell it on my own because they wouldn’t send it to auction. It was only five years old and had less than 100KM. Bought the Nissan and eventually bought a Ford. Never buy a Hyundai if you expect to resell your vehicle.
@TRB-yg4ph Guess which car company killed entire families with their garbage sticky pedals... it wasn't Hyundai! LOL
They are the second largest in India. Their cars are amazing. I own Hyundai venue.Value for money
My family owns a Venue here in Korea. It’s a surprisingly good car.
Venue is reliable, affordable and has a great quality
They simply make good and long lasting cars with good features for affordable prices. We got a Hyundai i40 in 2014. Diesel, 70 liter tank (18.5 gallons), real world range of roughly 1000 to 1100Km (620 to 680 miles). Never any real issues that required repairs. Standard maintenance and such stuff and that was it over the course of 9, ALMOST 10 years. Just this week my battery finally died (after 9ish years; car stood still for like a month) and when I called the repair guy from the German automobile association (ADAC) he said that all these asian manufacturers are super reliable. So yea: reliable, affordable, good features for the price, good looks.
Among the three major Korean automakers, Hyundai, Kia, and Daewoo, Daewoo was acquired by GM and Kia was merged into Hyundai Group. Hyundai Motors rose to become one of the world's top three automakers in just 60 years since its establishment, and if it had not lost the Chinese market due to Chinese political propaganda, it might have become the world's number one sales company. Unlike other motor groups, Hyundai possesses original technologies in all areas, including internal combustion engines, hybrids, EVs, and hydrogen vehicles, so it has the advantage of responding quickly to market changes. Recently, it has been putting a lot of effort into launching luxury brands such as Genesis and supercars such as the N74, and I think the Ioniq 5N shows the pinnacle of EV technology. Hyundai's rapid development was due to the sacrifices of Koreans who suffered discrimination in the domestic market in the 80s and 90s, and the strong labor union is Hyundai's biggest Achilles' heel. As a Hyundai Tucson owner, I am thinking of the Ioniq 6N as my next car, and I hope it comes out under $70,000.
Hyundai lost because of Chinese propaganda?? Serious man?
혐한정책으로... 특히... 대기업 완제품 시장은 중국에서 퇴출되다시피 했습니다.
한국 대기업 완제품은 세계 시장에서 탑급이었고 여전히 탑급 완제품이며...
사드사태 이전에는 중국에서도 제품의 품질이 좋아 상당한 점유율을 올리고 있었죠..
그런 대기업 완제품이 1%프로 이하의 점유율로 추락했습니다...
이런 사실을 외국인들은 모르고 있죠.. 사실 외국인들은 관심조차 없습니다...
오히려 자신의 경쟁상대가 어마어마한 중국시장에서 퇴출되어서 즐거워했겠죠...ㅋㅋ

Hyundai introduced me to a competitive electrified sedan: Sonata Phev. Now I only drive electric. It's a superior and efficient power train , nearly zero maintenance, charge at home. Best convenience ever.
Electric is still very inferior to gas cars in a lot of ways. But Hybrids are definitely the best. And, even if your going full electric, youd be hard pressed to find better quality EVs than Hyundais.
@@orange_turtle3412 You have no idea. You, yourself already making the argument that hybrid is great. So it's an admission that combining a battery and an electric motor to a gas engine actually increases its efficiency. Why would they do that if your gas engine was so superior?
@@orange_turtle3412if you have more than 1 car, only one being gas for road trips makes sense while the rest being ev
EV is far superior to ICe. Only driving electric, too bad you have to haul around the weight, complexity, and maintenance of an ICE wherever you go
@@chrismd00 Electric cars are like twice as heavy as ICEs on average. And battery packs are a lot more expensive to maintain than engines. Educate ur self.
I have had 2 hyundais so far, total of 300000 km driving, no problem whatsoever. Also so many options for different price ranges, most notably below 20000 eus
In india working middle class people can holding amazing tech features & designs in affordable prices car only Hyundai can provide that❤
N 74 is mind-blowing !!
Building factories in the US, creating jobs, developing rural areas and its infrastructure, I am going all in with Hyundai. Tesla using Chinese batteries manufacture their cars in China was a big turn off.
Hyundai and Kia definitely booming
The cars sucks . Biggest weakness paper thin engine components and horrendous battery costs

@Booz2010 you must be getting paid commenting? Lol. Get a real job dude!
I love my 2022 Hyundai!
I'm old enough to remember when Hyundai first came to the US and was competing with the Yugo for the race to the bottom. At the time, the Hyundai Excel was selling for $4,995 and the Yugo was going for $3,995. This was at a time when cars were selling for $12-25K. They've come a long way.
Edit: I see that they talk about the Excel later in the video.
haha my grandpa that lives in ulsan was one of the founding members in the factory. He still talks about how back in the days, car production would go on along side the building of the factory being built around them. It was crazy. The work ethic of these Korean are something you gotta give to them.
Got a veloster N and it's one of the most fun, engaging cars you can buy
Hyundai certainly deserved it with their outstanding technology and design. As a customer perspective they do good. Well done, Hyundai.
The hate and recalls are only because of their certain powertrains which is affecting them, like bad combo of Hybrid+DCT. They are weak in this area but if they sort it then they can be all-rounder.
I am now on my second Hyundai and I LOVE this brand. In my opinion, the value you get is unrivaled in the automotive industry
Recruiting independent techs to fix the antitheft issues in addition to using their dealerships is commendable.
The anti theft fix isn’t working. They are now offering free alarm installs and steering wheel locks.
@@sivanm2130 Thanks for the update.
Or having immobilisers like Hyundais outside American market
I have a 2017 Accent hatch back. I like it because maintenance is easy and cheap. Coming from a former Mini Cooper owner ……
I bought a used 2005 Santa Fe GLS back in 2006, and that baby is still running like a horse, just fixed wear and tear parts like timing belt etc. It helps me save lots of money every month!
Even more impressive is that Hyundai did all these while its sales in China (2nd largest auto market in the world) collapsed in the last two years.
That Chinese sales collapse has to do with politics rather than quality. That particular market is unique, to say the least.

I remember when someone asked Toyota who they were most afraid of Hyundai/Kia. They respond rapidly to public responses to their vehicles. Look how fast all their EV’s vs Big 3 and others.

Who is Boeing is afraid of?
Airbus
@@EmbargomanBoeing is afraid of itself. Self inflicted misery. In a vacuum without Airbus Boeing would still have door plugs unsecured.
@@EmbargomanBoeing isn’t that afraid, they’ve reached a point where they are not allowed to fail as they have military contracts. Sure maybe they stop airliners but military equipment isn’t going anywhere. Besides, no Boeing means no competition for Airbus which is an even worse situation.
We don't care about EVs. EVs are going away. Nobody likes them. They're not practical. The internal combustion engine will power us right on through the 22nd century.
Hyundai is really stepping up the game along with Kia in Genesis.
Acura legend , tsx, Honda Accord(s) Camry Corolla ,240 sx Dodge ram. Bmw 3, c class .. just some of the vehicles my family or I have owned in my 40 years and by far the best car I've owned is my 2015 genesis .. got the lady a Kia Sportage and can't be happier
Hyundai Motor is not what it used to be. It is of the best quality now
