How Hyundai Became The Third Largest Automaker In The World
Hyundai Motor Group is the 3rd largest automaker in the world by volume. In the 1990s, it suffered low sales and a reputation for low quality. Now its three auto brands - Hyundai, Kia and Genesis - are nipping at the heels of well established competitors, and winning award after award. While Tesla still dominates the EV industry, Hyundai and Kia are inching closer. But the company also wants to revolutionize manufacturing, invest in robotics, autonomous driving and flying taxis, ambitions that many rivals have abandoned. But the company has also faced setbacks: a plague of thefts, millions of vehicles at risk of catching fire, a looming union push and a snub from the U.S. government.

How Hyundai Became The Third Largest Automaker In The World
They changed their face quickly and also improved their quality. Respect that.
Still catch on fire
KIA BOIS tho. Skimped out immobilizers, a $1 component backfired. Sketchy quality and doesn't own up to warranty.
Make TOYOTA Great Again 😎 Scotty Kilmer
lol their cars are junk . Any person with two cents of common sense won’t purchase that ticking time bomb
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.
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.
BMW isn’t BMW anymore.
are you serious👀👀
Call around an get prices for Genesis parts and Hyundai parts. And then get the prices for those same parts for your BMW. You'll want to keep your BMW.
Hyundai have a lot of unintended acceleration in Korea and the government is so corrupt that they never investigate and do recalls.
Just got the new GV80 and literally love that thing. I get so many looks and compliments
Kudos to Hyundai! Proud owner of 3 Hyundais for 12 years now
👍 👍 👍 🎉
Trash cars
@@Mshi- better than japanese cars which is nothing special and overrated.
@@airplane690 nope
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 bought ab Elantra Hybrid in 2022 and although im 20k in debt, it has been the best purchase in my life. Thanks 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. 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👍
The underdog sport team comments is true to the core..
Well, I sure hope the battery on your Ioniq 5 does not fail. Apparently it's a $60,000 cost to replace it, which is beyond absurd.
@@Uncommonsensetoo All electric cars have expensive batteries. Hyundai's electric cars have a very long warranty
@@before_drum Well, I like my cars to last 20 years and 300 K miles so I don't think I am quite ready for electric vehicles.
저는 한국인입니다.첫차가 현대티뷰론이고 그랜저xg,그 다음 치가 benz e200k,x5e70,audi a8이었습니다.특히 bmwx5는 사자마자 leakage of mission oil,leakage of engine oil,injector 고장으로 고생했습니다.벤츠는 컴프레셔고장및 잔고장으로 힘들었으며 아우디는 워터펌프의 고질적인 고장,미션빠짐등으로 고생했으며 genesis g80을 사서 5 년간 잔고장없이 편하게 타고 있습니다.고성능이 필요없다면 현대차가 월등하다고 생각합니다.아내차가 bmwx3인데 반자율장치에서 현대가 bmw보다 월등합니다.
They're sleek and modern looking while keeping it relatively affordable for the masses
That’s why I love them
Make TOYOTA Tacoma Great Again 😎 Scotty Kilmer
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.
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.
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.
love my AWD santa cruz, not turbo but a awesome and useful car
Those are the worst cars ever. But I guess if the price is right, you can just buy another one like plastic disposable cups.
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

They are nice for the 1st 3 years if you are lucky. After that they are crap, EV or Gas.

@@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.
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 love that comment bro..
You mean they doomed India to an SUV future
This has been a success story 20 years in the making. Congratulations to the company for making good decisions. 👏
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 🇰🇷👏👏👏
One does not rise in South Korea tho... (Hint: babies)
What the freak. I feel I'm gonna throw up. as the same Korean you guys make me disgusting.
LG has fallen pretty hard recently. Also they literally supplied Hyundai/Kia with crap EV batteries at one time. Both junk.
@@know916bound Nope. LG does a lot of businesses such as electronics, chemicals, telecommunications, engineering, display, semiconductor and more. Battery is only a tiny piece of their businesses😉

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

Veracruz is never broken like tank. There is rumors that hyundai discontinued it because it never end their life😂😂
Wait a minute... Really there is a Hyundai model called Veracruz? :000
@@SMGSpiritRT nope, Korea doesn't have that name. I don't even know what that is 😅 Upd: it was discontinued in 2011. That's why.
@@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 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 👍
Toyota isn't common there?
bot?
@@jasonw98As I'm from Germany: No they are not, before I've been to Asia I always wondered how Toyota could be the biggest manufacturer with almost no cars around. If you even see a Toyota it's usually a Prius
@@jasonw98 Toyota is of course one of the importers in Germany, but they are not really successful and never have been. Most Germans don't like the strange design. Hyundai and Kia have easily and quickly overtaken Toyota
@@LykeArgy What makes you think this?
I've been saying this for years and now it's be widely recognized. I appreciate what Hyundai has done on the automotive market
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
I own both Telluride and EV6. One of the best vehicles I ever own.
Don't you mean TWO of the best?
This is awesome, I am literally going to buy these same two cars later this year. :D
Owner Hyundai cars for 13 years now and seeing the growth is one thing but experiencing it first hand is another. One of the few manufacturers that knows what people want, and absolutely loads their cars with features for the value

it doesn't matter how many sales hyundai makes... da fact that I hv Hyundai, Toyota and Honda at my house.... Hyundai can't match the fun to drive experience that Japnese automakers provide u especially Honda... even ride quality and suspension setups r much superior in Japnese cars.. only thing Hyundais look more attractive and r feature rich with most of them gimmicks.. it's getting more customers.. but a car enthusiast wud always choose a Japnese brand over a Korean
I feel much the same... I bought my first Kia (Optima SX) in 2012 and have been completely loyal to Hyundai Motor Group to the present day where I have a 2022 Kia Stinger and 2023 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited. When I am considering cars I always end up back with Hyundai Motor Group because they make cars I want!!

It’s nice with low miles. Wait till you get more miles
In the 80s, out of 90 companies in the world, Hyundai ranked 89. Hyundai came a long way.
Imagine where they will be in the next 10 years..
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.
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."
I have a Hyundai i30 2011 with a 1.6L diesel engine and I love it. Bought it back in 2012 and won't let go of it...
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 early 1.6 turbo were fickle unless you were diligent about frequent oil changes

I bought an i20 back in 20122 and it's still with me and runs great.
@@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...
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?
@@Crnkwalk I'm quoting the video.
🤭Ha ha haaaaaa🤥😜
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.
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.

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
They are not easy to maintain anymore. They have too much junk you don't need and the new ones are NOT reliable. You won't get 100,000 miles outta that 2024 without replacing the engine and transmission lol. 😂

They took their comustomers' feedback, didn't complain and worked their asses off, to become one of the best automotive brands (for the common man)
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.
So how many Elantras have you bought? Not counting the Sonata?
Buying one car model for ten years? Lol do they really fall apart that quick?
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.

I love Hyundai. I wish them all the best. Some of the best-looking new cars available today.
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.
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 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.

Y2 소나타는 한국에선 대성공을 이루면서 Opel의 중형차의 한국모델인 대우자동차의 로얄을 시장에서 축출하다시피할 정도로 성공했지만 캐나다 현지 생산품은 북미주에서 조달한 부품 품질 문제로 그냥 망했습니다. 한편 90년경에는 일본 자동차 업계의 센서류 공급중단을 통한 전방위적인 공격이 있었으나 이 역시 국산화로 해결했습니다. 다만 이로인한 품질 불안과 공급 불안으로 인한 파장은 작지 않았습니다. 이후 현대는 일본업계와 거리를 두고 국산화를 한편 독일 부품업계와 밀착하게 됩니다. 미국 진출 초기 현대차는 토요타의 카피캣이 아니라, 영국 포드의 경험과 미쯔비시의 기본 설계가 바탕이었습니다. 미국엔 판매되지 않았으나 캐나다에서 성공한 스텔라의 경우 포드 마크V에 미쯔비시 파워트레인에 쥬지아로의 디자인이 합쳐진 형태였죠.
Y2 극초기 출고차를 한국에서 출고했었습니다. 에어컨이 문제가 있었고 현대로부터 아무런 통보를 받지 못하고 외부업체에서 미제 GE제 에어컨 드라이 용접 부위를 보강해서 문제해결하였습니다. 수개월후에 현대로부터 캠페인이 있는 것을 알게 되었고 한국산 MANDO 로 교체하였습니다. 1990년경 대형 부품 기업 연구소 연구원인 친구로부터 센서 개발 지시로 개발을 하였는데 양산개발 단계를 압축하여 긴급하게 양산이 들어갔다고 합니다. 일본 자동차 업계의 견제와 기술 이전 관련한 보복이었지요. 당시 주행중 시동 꺼짐이 뉴스로 다뤄질 정도로 문제였습니다. 1992년경 한국산 오리지널 가솔린 엔진이 처음 등장했는데 전장 부품 상당수가 일제가 아니라 독일 브랜드인 BOSCH였습니다.
I have their 22 Veloster N. Hyundai is no joke
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.
You bought a garbage car. There’s no need to try and justify it, just live with your poor choice.

@@Ter9393 Guess which car company killed entire families with their garbage sticky pedals... it wasn't Hyundai! LOL
@@andresmattos7541 The amount of issues Kia/Hyundai have had make that look like nothing 😁
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 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
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 long said that the Hyundai/Kia groups will be only behind Tesla and Rivian by the 2030's. And ahead of all legacy brands. Their commitment to what's really going on, rather than than sticking their heads in the ground, and giving in to politics and misinformation, is years ahead of the rest. While others play with hydrogen and hybrids (yes, they have some for outsiders image sake), they are full steam ahead with EV only, and 800v. Which is the not only the future, but the hear from here on out. Those who hesitate will, and are being, left in the dust.
With their electric technology, they have the potential of surpassing them, especially Rivian, but Tesla at some point I think too.
@@JustinPennito Not with middlemen dealers in their way, they can't. That will always hold legacy back until they take the fight to the public and expose and bring down that federally illegal monopoly.
Hyundai and Kia definitely booming

They doing so much better in terms of product planning and design than their American rivals… Kudos to their whole team top to bottom…
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.
Arguably one of the best and most accurate films CNBC has put out.
Got a veloster N and it's one of the most fun, engaging cars you can buy
It's easy to understand them underestimating the Americans stealing cars problem. Koreans don't steal. You can leave your phone on the table at a bar and use the bathroom, and nobody will steal it.
I agree , sadly Americans can’t see or understand the difference in culture 😂
The entire galaxy know americans are thieves. The koriens know that you will buy another. Good strategy.
here in Brazil, the Hyundai HB20 has been a massive success for about 10 years, consistently ranking among the top 3 best-selling cars in the country
The new plant near Savannah is MASSIVE. 8500 jobs.
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.

Years ago I never imagined that I would own a Hyundai or Kia, but here I am driving a Kia.

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!
I have 275,000 miles in my Hyundai sonata with no major issues , sabes engine same transmission, I will get another soon
Ok
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.
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 just picked up a i30N hatcback last week so this is great timing hahaha
Glad to hear that, and yes the general public would hate and try to discredit. I honestly do like their vehicles (heck I brought one). Just keep on improving and that’s to all manufacturers.
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
I have been owning a hyundai i10 for the last 12 years in India. It has always been reliable and never faced any issues with it. It still feels sturdy after all these years. The build quality is great. Their service has also been great , its nominal and very effective. Btw i also own a VW and Toyota. I feel Hyundai just an inch below Toyota
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.
My third car, which I still have and had for 3 years is a '18 Sonata 2.0. Was definitely worth the price used. Very quick and I like the modern designs. Not too big, not to small. The proportions are right, especially with the blue paint I have. I'll probably be upgrading to a '21-23 Sonata N Line in a few months. I do like their powertrains. The turbo motors paired with the 8 speeds are great for budget car enthusiast.
Hyundai is really stepping up the game along with Kia in Genesis.
Above and beyond Excellent reliable sleek beautiful cars ! Keep up the good work 🇰🇷 !!!
❤❤❤❤ cool, thanks for this information
I love my ev6 gt its the best car i ever owned
Top choice of Kia boys.
Totally awesome! 🎉
I own 2023 Tucson, 2019 Verna & 2022 i20. Owned and sold 2014 elite i20 & 2002 accent. All the cars are great and have refined and powerful engines 🫶🏻
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
Hyundai definitely had a massive glow up, going from the “meh generic car” brand to one highly renowned for its innovative technology. But I think we gotta give special credit to Kia. They’ve gone from what was once the most unreliable, unsafe, and unrespectable car brands in existence to what is essentially a premium car brand now. They got the stinger, a genuinely amazing sports car, and their/hyundai’s electric cars are probably some of the best, if not the best, EVs on the market.
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.
The main reason. Hyundai is the only manufacturer not making overpriced slop, and has genuinely good looking designs.
I was a Ford guy my whole life. Then life took me to Korea where I lived and worked for 7 years. I bought a coworkers accent that was 4 years old with 23k miles.. not bad. But what surprised me the most was how I had ZERO problems with the vehicle after all the horror stories I heard. In 2021 I bought a brand new Ford Escape. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. so many issues and the worst thing is the dealership went OUT OF THEIR WAY to be annoyed. My escape was out of service for 5 months and when I would call my "rep" has the audacity to pull an attitude. Was this after daily calls? No. I literally called twice after waiting a month. This and topped off with their disgusting treatment of their workers....why should I be loyal to a company who betrays their own workers? They gave up their pension to save them only to get spit on years later while making record profits and overcharging consumers. The Korean vehicle anti-theft is a shame.. not to excuse it but in Korea you lose your laptop and bag and have it turned it in to you. This oversight is of course something they paid for.
I called it on Kia over a decade ago I use to tell people that these cars were good AF and nobody cared . Now look 🔥
I remember you saying that it was a good call. I must say
Their still crap 😂
They used to be crap and unreliable

How does anyone know how reliable brands like Kia and Hyundai are? They changed their logo and the media immediately went nuts. The reviews are outstanding and their reliability is praised. Supposedly that is due to very recent changes. But how do these people determine their reliability?
Exactly after like 15-20 yrs. Time will tell. Beautiful cars tho.
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.
Awesome episode, more on car companies 😊❤
