“[The Hyundai Genesis is] a spacious, no-excuses luxury sedan that starts at $33,800 with a 280-horsepower V6 engine and at $40,300 with a forceful 385-horsepower V8. Shoppers researching on MSN Autos can’t help but notice that the Hyundai lacks  for nothing — in features, engines, safety, technology — yet undercuts rivals’ prices by roughly $5,000 to $15,000. The Genesis won’t carve turns like a BMW, but plenty of luxury buyers aren’t looking to race. The Hyundai is more in the Lexus mold — well-built, lavishly featured and supremely comfortable. And there’s nothing wrong with that.” Read the full article here.

The fact that the Hyundai Genesis made this MSN list is no surprise to Fort Worth Hyundai dealer, Jerry’s Hyundai. After all, the Hyundai Genesis sedan is designed to offer the luxury appointments of much more expensive cars, for much less.

Both the V6 and V8 engines send power to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission that features manual sequential shift capability. Mechanical safety features on the Genesis include traction control, stability control, and panic brake assist. The interior features a full compliment of airbags, electronic active front headrests that provide whiplash protection, and a tire pressure monitor. Luxurious leather seats, automatic dual-zone climate control and woodgrain trim are just some of the appointments this car offers that are typically only found in vehicles costing much more. The Hyundai Genesis also received 5 out of 5 stars from the NHTSA crash tests.

With September being National Childhood Cancer Awareness month your Fort Worth Hyundai dealership will be contributing to the $6.8 million that is raised for Hyundai Hope on Wheels to help children fight cancer. Hyundai is handing out “hope grants” to various hospitals and non-profit organizations in effort to fund cancer research. Over 800 Hyundai dealerships from across the country are participating in the event that donates $5 to the fund with every car that is sold. This organization has been helping fight cancer since 1998 when it was founded and the 2010 year will bring the grand total to $28 million in donations for cancer research.

The grants are hand delivered to the various hospitals and non-profit organizations in amounts of $100,000 each. In addition to Hope on Wheels touring the country to give out grants, a “Handprint Ceremony” is held at each stop along the way in which the children patients can make a colorful handprint on a white Hyundai Santa Fe to show how they are in the fight against cancer.

The Hyundai Hope on Wheels website goes on to explain, “Why handprints? Because there’s nothing more personal than a handprint – and the goal of the Hope on Wheels Tour is to share the personal triumphs of each of these children with other childhood cancer patients and their families across the country. Whether it’s completing a round of chemo, celebrating a beautiful new head of hair or receiving a clean bill of health, one childhood cancer patient’s milestone can be another’s symbol of hope.”

President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America, John Krafcik, explains the development of the organization, “While we’ve made progress over the last few decades and now have an 85 percent cure rate, cancer still takes more lives than any other childhood disease…We love taking on big challenges at Hyundai, and we can think of no more worthy challenge than finding a cure for all forms of pediatric cancer.”

The Kbb.com Brand Watch announced that Hyundai made the list.  Hyundai sales during the second quarter helped the car brand leap forward, as they increased almost 6 percentage points in the non-luxury coupe/sedan/hatchback segment.

“Hyundai is truly on a roll,” said James Bell, executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com. “Hyundai has proven that when you make dynamic, exciting and affordable products that appeal to the new-car shopping masses, consumer perception begins to change and subsequently, sales will follow.”

In the non-luxury coupe/sedan/hatchback segment, Hyundai now has 29 percent of total consideration among shoppers in the segment.

The Kbb.com Q2 2010 Brand Watch was conducted from April 6 – June 17, 2010. New car customers were asked to rank the top things they look for in a car, which were, in order, durability/reliability, driving comfort, fuel efficiency, driving performance and safety.

Fort Worth Hyundai Sales

Fort Worth Hyundai realizes that this will help their car image and increase sales in the upcoming months, but believes that the Hyundai surge was coming due to the work they have put into their vehicles.

“Being named one of Kbb.com’s top five most-considered brands truly demonstrates Hyundai’s continued commitment to delivering stylish, fuel efficient and affordable vehicles,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president of corporate and product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “As seen with our recent Tucson and Sonata models, Hyundai is committed to providing quality vehicles with class-leading safety technologies and performance features.”

The Elantra Touring is a five door hatchback version of the Elantra sedan, and although this car is based off a sedan, it shares the characteristics of SUVs and crossovers that drivers love, such as more space for your passengers and cargo.  Passengers won’t be fighting for the front seat, as back seats offer more legroom than midsize sedans.  The large rear also lends itself to great travel: the rear seats feature a 60/40 split and fold down fully and the molded-plastic rear floor folds up to reveal a padded, segmented storage area.

Unlike crossover vehicles and SUVs, the Touring is an affordable drive.  The base model, though fully equipped with power windows and locks, cruise control and other perks, starts at under $16,000.  Touring models with more features, such as a power moonroof, heated seats and an integrated satellite-ready radio, are still under $20,000 and remain affordable.  The Touring also boasts a better fuel economy than larger vehicles, achieving an average of 29 mpg.  The Touring has a 2.0-liter, 138 hp four-banger, which is the same as the sedan.

The Equus has been highly anticipated by many Fort Worth Hyundai shoppers because it has many of the same features as a high-end luxury vehicle for a price anywhere from $12 – $35,000 less than those vehicles would cost.

The leather is soft, the seats are plush and comfortable, and the headliner is made from of Alcantara suede. The 2011 Hyundai Equus even has French stitching on the leather-wrapped dash.

This full-size, rear-drive luxury sedan will give Hyundai a budget alternative to a Mercedes S-Class, Lexus LS, Jaguar XJ or other top-notch sedans.

The Equus rides on a 5-link suspension (front and rear), featuring lightweight aluminum control arms, while Hyundai has worked in partnership with ZF-SACHS to develop an air-suspension that is electronically governed to minimize body roll, nose-diving and other undesirable characteristics.

Other notable highlights include the standard Vehicle Stability Management which integrates the Lane Departure Warning System, Pre-Safety System, Third Generation Smart Cruise Control (SCC) and other sub-systems, as well as the addition of a Knee Air Bag for the driver that brings the total airbag count to nine.

Hyundai says the price of the 2011 Equus should start at $50-$60,000 and the vehicle will be extremely well-equipped, meaning the Equus should undercut prices on comparable competitor vehicles.

Equus is the Latin name for “horse,” and this new Hyundai will run with the best of them.

Fort Worth Hyundai shoppers can experience the all-new Equus this fall at Jerry’s Hyundai.

The Genesis continues the Hyundai tradition of standardizing key life-saving safety technology, and includes standard features like ESC, Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), eight airbags and electronic active head restraints.

While the 2009 Genesis model was also named as an IIHS “TOP SAFETY PICK,” the standards were raised even higher for 2010, with a roof strength test added to the qualifications.

In its inaugural $25,000 Family Sedan Shootout, Cars.com took eight popular sedans, six automotive journalists, a family four and three days to determine: What’s the best family sedan you can buy for $25,000 or less? Experts from Cars.com, USA Today and “MotorWeek” tested midsize sedans costing less than $25,000 head-to-head to help car buyers sift through options in the competitive family sedan market. The redesigned 2011 Hyundai Sonata took the title, earning points for both value and styling.

Vehicles were tested the way average families would drive them. The cars were put through a mileage challenge and two days of real-life road tests to choose a winner. Each car was scored from 1-10 in 10 categories, with a maximum score of 1,000 points.

“We wanted to put these cars through real-life tests that measure what’s most important to family drivers,” said Patrick Olsen, Cars.com editor-in-chief. “We looked to see how easy it was to install car seats, we filled the trunks with groceries, and as any parent can relate to, we drove all around town.  Having participation from a family of four that is actually in the market to buy a car helped ensure that we kept our focus on the features that are most important in this segment.”

Vehicles tested in the Cars.com $25,000 Family Sedan Shootout include the 2010 Ford Fusion, 2010 Chevrolet Malibu, 2010 Nissan Altima, 2010 Honda Accord, 2010 Mazda6, 2010 Suzuki Kizashi, 2010 Toyota Camry and the 2011 Hyundai Sonata.

2010 $25,000 Family Sedan Shootout Results

8. 2010 Ford Fusion — 669 points: It’s clear that reviewers got a great first vibe from the Fusion, but the more time they spent in the car, the less they came to enjoy it.

7. 2010 Chevrolet Malibu — 697 points: The family and the reviewers found the Malibu attractive but lacking in the power department.

6. 2010 Nissan Altima — 711 points: Nissan’s entry also suffered from a lack of enthusiasm.

5. 2010 Honda Accord — 723 points: The Accord is familiar to buyers in this segment: It has long been the No. 2 seller. It’s that benchmark status that our reviewers and family split over.

4. 2010 Mazda6 — 724 points: The Mazda6 won a lot of praise for its looks, both inside and out, as well as for its ginormous trunk. However, it was dinged for not living up to its Zoom-Zoom vow.

3. 2010 Suzuki Kizashi — 731 points: The newest entrant was also the smallest. Despite its size, the Kizashi won fans for its “zippy” handling and peppy drive. And it was the only vehicle with all-wheel drive.

2. 2010 Toyota Camry — 752 points: Here, the leaders start pulling away from the pack. The Camry has been one of the best-selling vehicles (recall issues aside). Despite its troubles, it still won everyone over.

1. 2011 Hyundai Sonata — 794 points: Hyundai had a leg up by having the redesigned Sonata ready for the Shootout. Its striking design won over most, but it was the whole package that earned it the Family Sedan Shootout title.

“This was a close match, but the value of the Sonata catapulted it ahead of the others,” said Olsen. “The $22,745 price tag including navigation along with its modern, upscale looks really impressed the expert judges and the participating test family. The Sonata is something any shopper in this segment must consider.”

The Sonata represents a modern approach to the traditional midsize sedan segment by using only advanced four-cylinder engines, emotional design and luxury features offered with Hyundai’s strong value proposition. This new approach has earned the Sonata acclaim from industry experts and consumers alike.

AutoBlog.com says, “Now in its sixth-generation, the newest Hyundai dumps its consistent ho-hum styling in favor of what the automaker calls a ‘fluidic sculpture design’”. Created by the Hyundai Design Center team in Irvine, California, the sleek new four-door is a fresh face in a segment full of cookie-cutter sedans. Interesting and stylish, the Sonata offers an engaging mix of traditional sedan and four-door coupe rolled into one.

Fort Worth Hyundai shoppers will note that the 2011 Sonata is built from the ground up with safety in mind, from a hot stamped ultra-high-strength steel body structure to advanced airbag technology and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), delivering on Hyundai’s commitment to both active and passive safety technology leadership.

In 2005, the Sonata was the first popular midsize sedan to standardize Electronic Stability Control, and the 2011 Sonata has this lifesaving ESC as standard equipment. This is a very important feature, since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that ESC results in 35 percent fewer single-vehicle crashes and 30 percent fewer single-vehicle fatalities in passenger cars.

In addition to sophisticated styling, advanced safety features and ample performance, the Sonata offers class-leading fuel economy of 22 mpg city/35 mpg highway and 198 horsepower standard.

Fort Worth Hyundai shoppers who would like to test drive the class leading Sonata and experience its dynamic new design can call Jerry’s Hyundai in Weatherford at 800-445-3779.  A Granbury location is also open and can be reached by calling 888-290-2515.
