Hyundai Quality - redefining its position in the automotive industry!

2010-02-18T18:00:00.000-08:00

Hyundai's committed effort to produce top-quality vehicles pays off yet again. The latest recognition is from J.D. Power and Associates, which ranked Hyundai as the number one brand in the non-premium segment in its 2009 IQS, Initial Quality Study. The Korean automaker also moved up nine rungs to be positioned at 4th place, just behind Lexus, Porsche and Cadillac in the overall industry cutting across all segments!

This is the second time in four years that Hyundai finished among the top four most quality car brands. Previously, Hyundai's quality was judged third-best in the industry in 2006. Many Hyundai models also received J.D. Power and Associates' top honors in their respective segments. The 2010 Hyundai Elantra, which scored a 9 out of 10 for reliability, and the 2010 Hyundai Genesis, which ranked 9 out of 10 or above for performance, safety and interior, have been ranked #1 in the compact car division and the "all-new redesigned" segment respectively. The Hyundai Accent missed the title by only one point in the sub-compact segment, but received a 9 out of 10 for safety.

Hyundai Tiburon ranked best used coupe by Autotropolis

2009-11-05T20:09:00.000-08:00

Young car buyers have always been fascinated by the sporty characteristics of coupes. Hyundai was one of the first automakers who jumped into the bandwagon to satisfy the unique needs of the youth market. The result: Hyundai Tiburon. With its in-your-face styling, driving dynamics, sporty characteristics and performance image, Hyundai Tiburon has fulfilled the sports car aspirations of many a motorist at a lower price tag. Porter Hyundai, the leading dealer of new and used Hyundai models in Newark, is happy to inform you that 2002-2007 Hyundai Tiburon has been adjudged as the best used coupe by Autotroplis, a leading online resource for new and used cars.
Launched in mid-1990, it had been a tremendous journey for Hyundai Tiburon. Though it shared the appearance of a sleek sports car, Hyundai Tiburon lacked the power under the hood to woo the car enthusiasts who yearned for more speed and nimble handling. It mended all the shortcomings in the later editions and the 2002-2007 Hyundai Tiburon got a much powerful 2.0-liter 4-cylinder base engine which generated 134 horsepower. Power was transferred to the wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic transmission. Later, a more peppy and fun-to-drive edition arrived in the form of Tiburon GT which satiated the hunger of the performance-oriented motorists with the 170 hp 2.7L, V-6 engine which got an optional 6-speed manual transmission apart from the earlier unit.
2002-2007 Hyundai Tiburon had also undergone changes in the design front also. The exaggerated curves gave way for a blockier, butch styling that used hard angles. The powerful front fascia too complemented its decent acceleration.
Porter Hyundai offers 2002-2007 Hyundai Tiburon in its huge showroom which houses all the new and used Hyundai models. Visit the Hyundai dealer in Newark in person or log on to http://www.porterhyundai.com/ for more details.
