Hyundai Cars

3 models available.

Hyundai builds in Montgomery, Alabama and has spent twenty years converting a budget reputation into a design-led one. The Palisade, Tucson and Santa Fe now compete on equipment and styling rather than on price alone, and the Ioniq electric models have been well received.

CarQuill USA currently tracks 3 Hyundai models. Prices run from $28,500 for the Tucson up to $42,500 for the Ioniq 5. The line-up covers suv and crossover body styles. Fuel options across the range include petrol, hybrid, electric, gasoline and plug-in hybrid. Every model here offers an automatic.

What to weigh up before you buy

The ten-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty is still the most generous in the mainstream market and tells you something about Hyundai's own confidence. Equipment levels undercut Japanese rivals for the money. The caveats are theft vulnerability on certain older models without immobilisers, and resale that, while much improved, still trails Toyota and Honda.
