Hyundai is enjoying one of the best times in its history. In 1999, overall Hyundai car sales were up an industry leading 82 percent compared to the previous year. The updated, high-value Elantra sedans and wagons chalked up record sales as the century came to a close. And the dramatically upgraded, mid-size Sonata four-door sedan won high praise from auto writers and posted strong sales gains. This, in a time when many automakers saw their car business slide down as trucks and SUVs powered to the top of the sales charts. The significant factor in Hyundai's sales success is that the increases were posted with cars, not trucks.
Savvy shoppers appreciate the excellent value offered in every Hyundai, aggressively priced and loaded with standard features and safety systems usually found on more expensive cars. Above all, new car buyers are enthusiastically responding to The Hyundai Advantage, America's Best Warranty. By offering five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper* coverage, plus a remarkable 10-year/100,000 powertrain* warranty, Hyundai stands firmly behind its ever-improving automobiles.
For 2000, Hyundai will maintain the same prices as last year on several models, while adding standard equipment features.
Plus, Hyundai offers an even bolder Tiburon sport coupe, as well as an all-new Accent for the rebounding entry-level car market. Altogether, the possibilities for the new century look highly promising for the top Korean automaker.
All-New Accent
Hyundai's subcompact Accent is all-new for 2000 with a handsome, completely restyled body, but still available in three- and four-door versions. The new Accent has a longer wheelbase and is larger on the inside. It features a full complement of safety features, with overall changes adding up to a much quieter vehicle with improved ride quality. Inside the engine bay, Hyundai's Alpha 1.5-liter powerplant has been updated with a new cylinder head and boasts an improved torque curve for better city-driving performance.
