Preston Hyundai sees Great Results in Maryland and Delaware Amid Slow New Car and Truck Market

Friday, March 5th, 2010

When Hyundai America first launched at Maryland Hyundai Dealers and Delaware Hyundai Dealers in 1986, they sold cars that were $5000 and were considered a piece of junk. The car they had launched was the Excel. Since then Hyundai has made a quantum leap and really started turning heads in the late 1990s and early 2000s with their advancements in quality. Today Hyundai is at the top of the automakers in the world.


Some say that such a fast rate of growth will leave Hyundai susceptible to cutting corners and will cause problems soon or later, kind of like what happened with Toyota and their recalls. Hyundai however is aware of this and is constantly placing steps to control quality and make sure no problems will occur with any of their vehicles that they produce. Regardless it is certain that Hyundai has made a huge leap in quality while still maintaining affordable, fuel efficient, safe, and stylish cars.


Currently Hyundai is taking control of car and truck segments which include the 2011 Hyundai Sonata and the 2010 Hyundai Tucson. The new 2011 Sonata sports a longish nose, panoramic sunroof, and a coupe-style design. Hyundai’s Vice Chairman Chung Eui Sun said “The Sonata will set a new standard for world class mid-size sedans with state of the art technology, superior quality, and emotional design.” The new 2010 Hyundai Tucson now has more curves than its boxier predecessor and is a bit more aggressive looking. The 2010 Tucson is also lighter by 61 pounds and has an additional 3 inches in length. The reduction in weight has allowed it to gain better fuel economy at 31 mpg highway; a gain of 6 miles per gallon (the 2009 Hyundai Tucson was rated at 25 mpg by the EPA). The revamped Tucson also has downhill brake control, panoramic sunroof, “Eco Indicator”, and available navigation, rearview camera, steering wheel controls, XM radio, and Bluetooth.


“Both the 2011 Sonata and 2010 Tucson are signs that Hyundai is in it to win it. The new design flow is proof the Hyundai cares about how stylish their cars and trucks look. Not to mention the 2011 Hyundai Equus should boost Hyundai’s image even further and increase the value of the company as a whole.” says John Skalstad, General Manager of Salisbury Hyundai Dealer, Preston Hyundai. “We are proud to offer the Hyundai product at the Preston Auoplex. Each month it seems the residents of Delmarva become more and more interested in Hyundai.” he claims.

More 2010 Hyundai Tucsons are Coming to Meet Demand in Maryland and Delaware

Friday, February 26th, 2010

The 2010 Hyundai Tucson was introduced to Maryland and Delaware Hyundai buyers last December. Two months later Delaware and Maryland Hyundai Dealers found themselves in a short supply for customers. This minor problem however will soon be solved since Hyundai Motor Company announced that they will boost 2010 Hyundai Tucson production in South Korea to meet the growing demand for the newly redesigned crossover.


The newly redesigned 2010 Hyundai Tucson now has more curves than its boxier predecessor and is a bit more aggressive looking. The 2010 Tucson is also lighter by 61 pounds and has an additional 3 inches in length. The reduction in weight has allowed it to gain better fuel economy at 31 mpg highway; a gain of 6 miles per gallon (the 2009 Hyundai Tucson was rated at 25 mpg by the EPA). The revamped Tucson also has downhill brake control, panoramic sunroof, “Eco Indicator”, and available navigation, rearview camera, steering wheel controls, XM radio, and Bluetooth. The cost for base models is under $20,000.


The new Hyundai Tucson was built to appeal to singles and young couples. Hyundai sold 2,216 2010 Tucsons last January, which is up from 974 in January 2009. John Krafcik, the CEO of Hyundai North America, says “We’re going to see a huge jump this year” referring to the new Hyundai Tucson. The 2010 Hyundai Tucson’s predecessor fell from 52,000 units in 2006 to just over 15,000 units last year.


“The 2010 Hyundai Tucson is better in every way from the old model of the Tucson. It seems that every time we do get a shipment to Preston Hyundai we cannot keep them in stock. Customers seem to fall in love with the new design.” says Bruce Vincent, Sales Manager at Maryland Hyundai, Preston Hyundai. Recently many Hyundai dealers have seen an increase in sales due to the recent recalls. Many Hyundai and Toyota buyers compare one another to each other when making a purchase.

Maryland Delaware Hyundai Buyers Look at 2011 Hyundai Sonata, the IIHS Top Safety Pick

Friday, February 19th, 2010

In a series of strenuous tests that include front, side, rear collisions, and rollover, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata has been named a “Top Safety Pick” by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). The 2011 Hyundai Sonata was totally redesigned for the new model year. Many have said that the new Sonata has redefined the mid-size sedan landscape. While building the all new Sonata, Hyundai crash tested the car with the same procedures as the IIHS.


The IIHS’s selection process includes testing a 40 mph frontal offset crash test, side evaluations based on the side of the car getting struck by a barrier moving 31 mph, rear collision tests based on a 20 mph rear collision (this test also includes measurements of head restraint geometry), and a rollover test. The rollover test was more demanding this year as a roof strength test was added to the qualifications. According to guidelines the roof must be more than double the strength of current federal requirements in order to better maintain vehicle integrity in the event of a rollover accident.


However Maryland Delaware Hyundai buyers can rest assured since the 2011 Hyundai Sonata was built from the ground up with safety in mind. Safety features include ultra-high-strength steel body structure, advanced airbag technology (includes 6 airbags within the car), electronic stability control or ESC (a must to be considered a top IIHS safety pick), anti-lock brake system, brake assist, and electronic brake-force distribution. On a further note the IIHS reports that ESC results in 35% fewer vehicle crashes and 30% fewer crash related deaths when the crashes do no involve other vehicles.


“Once I heard about and learned about the 2011 Hyundai Sonata I was excited for the release. Now that it is finally in our lots and is already receiving accolades there are no words to described how satisfied I am to be able to sell the 2011 Hyundai Sonata,” says Ryan Walker, Sales Consultant at Preston Hyundai, “The new 2011 Hyundai Sonata is an amazing car, I think it will be hard for other manufacturers to catch up to it.”


The 2011 Hyundai Sonata has only recently went on sale in the United States. Look to your local Hyundai dealer for more information.

2010 Hyundai Elantra Helps Increase Sales in January for Salisbury Hyundai Dealer

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Hyundai Motor America announced that January sales were up 24% from last January 2009. The sales increase was year over year. Hyundai Motor America also said that this past January sales increased even more than the Cash for Clunkers sales increase last August. The Cash for Clunkers program gave car and truck buyers a $3500 or $4500 trade-in rebate towards a vehicle that improved fuel economy. Hyundai was the top automaker to take advantage of this program in the United States.

Hyundai experienced a gain from 24,512 units last January (2009) to 30,503 units this January. That’s nearly a 6,000 unit increase. The sales increase was lead by the 2010 Hyundai Elantra with a staggering 7,690 units sold this past month. The newly redesigned 2010 Hyundai Tucson that recently went on sale also saw a sales increase of 128% and sold 2,216 units this past January. Once the new 2011 Hyundai Sonata comes out later this month it is expected to see similar results to the 2010 Hyundai Tucson.

Maryland Hyundai Dealers and Delaware Hyundai Dealers also saw the similar results as the rest of the nation did. “Lately it seems like Elantras have been our lifeblood. Customers love those compact cars” says John Skalstad of Maryland Hyundai Dealer, Preston Hyundai. John also commented that he was beginning to see a much needed increase in the Hyundai Tucson with the 2010 Hyundai Tucson model and is excited for the 2011 Hyundai Sonata.

The 2010 Hyundai Tucson was totally redesigned from its predecessor. The new 2011 Hyundai Sonata will do the same thing. Both models will follow the new “flow” style of the Hyundai line-up. The “flow” designed can be seen in the Genesis, Tucson, and the upcoming Sonata.
