How Hyundai Became Canada's Most Reliable Brand
For families in the Battlefords, all the exciting bells and whistles of a new vehicle don’t mean nearly as much as the vehicle’s reliability. Sure, cargo space, a comfortable interior, and convenient infotainment are key features to look out for, but ensuring you and your loved ones are safe on the open road and can reliably get from point A to point B sit at the very top of the list. Thankfully Hyundai vehicles are not only affordable, comfortable, and well-designed – but they’re also Canada’s most awarded brand for safety and reliability. Let’s take a deeper dive into what makes these vehicles so reliable for Saskatechwen drivers.
Fewer Trips to the Sevice Centre
According to RepairPal, Hyundai boasts a reliability rating of 4.0 out of 5.0, ranking 4th out of all 32 car brands. In addition, Hyundai ownership is on the inexpensive side, with only $468 annual repair costs for scheduled and unscheduled repairs. That’s way below the $652 average across all vehicle models.
Hyundai owners visit the repair shop about 0.3 times per year for unscheduled repairs. This is in contrast with 0.4 times across all models. Out of all repairs on Hyundai vehicles, only 10% are considered severe – compared to 12% for critical issues across all models.
Another strong point for Hyundai is its warranty which the brand refers to as “North America’s Best Warranty.” For instance, as part of its warranty called “Hyundai Assurance,” the South Korean manufacturer offers a Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty covering most vehicle parts; the coverage term is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Making Safety the Standard
Each Hyundai model is equipped with Hyundai's signature safety suite, Hyundai SmartSense. Innovative safety features include a range of camera, radar and motion detection technologies to provide you with added peace of mind. Let’s face it, roads and other drivers can be unpredictable, and one of your biggest challenges is avoiding the dangers and obstacles you don’t see coming. Comprised of sensors, cameras, alerts and alarms, plus brilliant software that ties them all together, Hyundai SmartSense includes applications like Smart Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist and Driver Attention Warning to act as an extra pair of eyes and ears. Other key features include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FCA-Ped)
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)
- Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM)
- Lane Following Assist (LFA)
- High Beam Assist (HBA)
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FCA-Ped)
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)
