My advice is to inspect the people who utilize their vehicles for work, trades and construction people. Not a single one drives Hyundai, for good reason. Only Ford and Toyota know how to build trucks with good reliable quality. Clueless and people with bad credit buy Hyundai, when you can buy a Landcruiser, Hilux, RAV4, Tacoma, Tundra, Corolla, Prius, Camry etc.
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.
@@blackgold754if you cross shop both vehicle brands you'll see the prices are very similar. I'd rather the brand that's known for reliability, resale value, and safety.
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. Hyundai and Kia might be new in the industry but for some people, these two brands have already been their life companions. Give them a chance if you consider getting a new car. Test drive and they won't fail to impress👍
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.
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
@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
Today Volkswagen announced it was closing its German plant. Hyundai is likely to become the world's second largest company. The amazing thing about them is that they keep growing.
Now, Hyundai wins my heart. Since 2010, I have been driving Hyundai car satisfying design, technology, service, good MPG, good warranty, reasonable price, and most of the good safety. Hyundai, keep it up and did a great job!
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!
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.
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.

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 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 👍

Absolutely mind-blowing! 🚗🌟 Watching how Hyundai became the third-largest automaker in the world is truly inspiring! 🌐💪 Innovation and dedication at its finest! 🚀
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 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.
Hyundai & Kia cars are just beautiful. I spent 6 years in Korea in the mid-2000s and we had a Genesis and Veracruz and they were smooth and no issues for years
@@SMGSpiritRThyundai veracruz is the model name. They can be spotted easily in Korea, and they are reliable and good quality. One of the most favorite hyundai model

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.
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.
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.
Hyundai and Kia are rising just like other Korean things such as Korean movies, K-drama, K-pop, Samsung, LG, Korean food, military products and everything! Kudos to Korea 🇰🇷👏👏👏

When I am considering cars I always end up back with Hyundai Motor Group because they make cars I want!!
@@kill3rbyysightthe Elantra N is a competitor to the Civic Type R. And it was designed by the former head of BMW's, M division. Maybe test drive, own a performance car once in your life... Talk is cheap.
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 driven Hyundai since 2006. I still own a 2005 Tiburon and I just replaced my 2016 sonata with a new 2024 sonata n line. The difference from 06 to now is noticeable, especially in the materials used. The cars are simple to maintain and you have the peace of mind with the warrantee. The tech and performance of the n line is insane. The car is a rocket

I’m a medical courier and drive cross country all day everyday and my car has been maintained by dealership techs. Hyundai/Kia upped their reliability and it’s super fun to drive so your comment is very irrelevant. And I have driven the car hard and not babied it.
@@Skyisthelimit4mehyundai/kia have a 10 year/100,000 mile power train warranty. To my knowledge, no other car manufacturer has a better warranty than this.
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.
Just recently we bought a 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy. I was initially set on a Grand Highlander, Atlas or CX90 the quality was better than expected and the features for the money is unbeatable.
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.
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.
I have a 2015 Elantra GT and the first 5 years were ok, but at this point I'm getting a check engine light every 3 to 6 months. Spent around 9k in maintenance over the last 2 years (about what the car is worth today). Never again.
@@gbottesini there was that lady from North Carolina or somewhere there, her Elantra ran for over 1 million miles without engine problems. It's all about how you use the car. I think her car was like 2012 or 2013 Model year, and she did 1M miles in 5 years or so...
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.
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.

That alone Is respectable whereas other companies just rather pocket their profits and not innovate at all.
My first car that I purchased was a 2013 Hyundai Elantra Limited. It's STILL my car becaise it's just that good! Honestly I think ill be a Hyundai customer for life.
Same bro I bought a 2017 Elantra and it's served me so well i bought another 2021 140k + 84k hard miles and expect them both to go over 200k on there original powertrain. Customer for life also next will be a 2025 tuscan

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.
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 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.
Owner of a 2022 Elantra N, and it's a blast of a car and a thrill of a time to drive everyday. Hyundai has seriously blown up and they're here to play. Screw the haters living in 1995, don't always listen to your mechanic buddies saying they're unreliable.... theyll say that but only ever work on the old old models in early 90s and 2000s/2010s.... it's 2024 and Hyundais are very impressive these days. 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 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
Was blown away by their EV a few years ago. Thought it was a Tesla. But man, that Ioniq. Way affordable than Tesla for sure, and doesn't blow up in your garage.
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.
I bought a Terracan new in 2004 in Germany then sold it to my neighbour in 2017 with 260,000kms on it now it has 350,000kms and the exhaust system is still the original.
Recently bought my 2023 KIA Forte LXS and I’m absolutely happy with it, I like that they included the lane assist feature in the base version of the car!
Korea generally has been ahead of the curve on tech adoption. They develop things in the local market and it allows them to roll it out to other regions.

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.
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?
@@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
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.
@@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."
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!
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.
I remember in 1998 at the height of the Asian Financial Crisis. There was a "debate" whether Hyundai would survive in the global automotive market. The govvernment was weighing and "encouraging" consolidation and divestiture, which is why Samsung was forced to get out of the market and Hyundai took Kia in a shotgun marriage. The rest is history. Mad respect for the late chairman, MK, and the current leader, whom I think is doing an amazing job.
I own 2 of them. A 2020 Palisade Limited, and 2022 Santa Cruz Limited. They're not just "bargain" cars. I also own a 2018 BMW X3. I chose Hyundai over other brands e.g. Honda, Toyota. And have zero remorse.
They changed their face quickly and also improved their quality. Respect that.

KIA BOIS tho. Skimped out immobilizers, a $1 component backfired. Sketchy quality and doesn't own up to warranty.

Hyundai have a lot of unintended acceleration in Korea and the government is so corrupt that they never investigate and do recalls.

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
I've been saying this for years and now it's be widely recognized. I appreciate what Hyundai has done on the automotive market
I never considered Hyundai until it was given to me as a rental in 2020. Loved it and it's fascinating watching it evolve better and better
I driven it back in 2017, it was clunky Tuscan.

@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.
That's awesome!
its Tucson. I have a hyundai getz crdi now and still inlove with it.
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
@@Docpeetee You've got it backward. The long warranty is a marketing tool that gives prospective customers more confidence in Hyundai's products.

Today Volkswagen announced it was closing its German plant. Hyundai is likely to become the world's second largest company. The amazing thing about them is that they keep growing.
Volkswagen has about 8 oder more plants in Germany. So closing its german plant is a misleading comment.

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?

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 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.

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 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.

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.
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.

Just recently we bought a 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy. I was initially set on a Grand Highlander, Atlas or CX90 the quality was better than expected and the features for the money is unbeatable.
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.
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.

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 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.

They doing so much better in terms of product planning and design than their American rivals… Kudos to their whole team top to bottom…
the key is that Hyundai, and Kia continuously improved every few years while other companies remained stagnant or get worse.
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
Hyundai group is also the largest cargo ship maker in the world. So that's why they have amazing cash-flow to R&D to do amazing things!
I have a 2016 Sonata and barely had any issues with it and it’s still going strong

Finally, Korean cars are uprising!
I bought a Terracan new in 2004 in Germany then sold it to my neighbour in 2017 with 260,000kms on it now it has 350,000kms and the exhaust system is still the original.
They did it the old-fashioned way. They earned it.
They certainly did!
Worst cars …on the market, right beside Kia.
That is the whole point of the video@@thepressurepack3777
They are the crappiest cars known to man you could’ve pay me to ride in one of those pieces of junk
Yeah. Create junk, junk, and more junk. What did they do to earn anyone’s business? If they were reliable from the beginning that would be one thing
I have their 22 Veloster N. Hyundai is no joke
Arguably one of the best and most accurate films CNBC has put out.
Recently bought my 2023 KIA Forte LXS and I’m absolutely happy with it, I like that they included the lane assist feature in the base version of the car!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻quality,design,garantee,all improved💯
What I like about this cars is how straightforward the driving experience is and lot of features than competitors
Korea generally has been ahead of the curve on tech adoption. They develop things in the local market and it allows them to roll it out to other regions.
So ahead their cars get stolen by kids on TikTok and their engines catch fire.

Hyundai Motor's sales volume was achieved even after losing the world's largest Chinese market in retaliation for the deployment of THAAD. Toyota and Volkswagen, on the other hand, dependence on the Chinese market amounts to 20% and 30%
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.
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.
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
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
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.
N 74 is mind-blowing !!
My favorite CEO interview. LOL ""I was not as optimistic..."
First time I've seen this guy. I like him too.
COO, not CEO
@@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."
Hyundai and Kia definitely booming
The cars sucks . Biggest weakness paper thin engine components and horrendous battery costs

I love my 2022 Hyundai!
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.
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 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!
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.
I remember in 1998 at the height of the Asian Financial Crisis. There was a "debate" whether Hyundai would survive in the global automotive market. The govvernment was weighing and "encouraging" consolidation and divestiture, which is why Samsung was forced to get out of the market and Hyundai took Kia in a shotgun marriage. The rest is history. Mad respect for the late chairman, MK, and the current leader, whom I think is doing an amazing job.
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
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.

*_Wow! first time someone's actually pronounced hyundai correctly_*
Korea has numerous great high tech companies like samsung, lg, hyundai, kia
I have a 2017 Accent hatch back. I like it because maintenance is easy and cheap. Coming from a former Mini Cooper owner ……
I own 2 of them. A 2020 Palisade Limited, and 2022 Santa Cruz Limited.
They're not just "bargain" cars. I also own a 2018 BMW X3.
I chose Hyundai over other brands e.g. Honda, Toyota. And have zero remorse.
