Another great review from one of our awesome customers!
"I just drove out of the dealership In my 2012 Sonata! What a great experience they truly made me feel like a VIP. If my service experience is anything like my sales one Hyundai will own me forever. Ricky was such a gentleman and Javad his manager made sure I was comfortable with all the numbers and the new cool technology in the car." -hheurkins
Customer feedback is very important to us!
"I just bought a 2012 Accent GLS!! I actually wasn't looking to buy a new car at this time, but because of certain circumstances I decided it was time for a one. Besides, who can beat a 10 year/10,000 mile warranty, right?! Our saleman Riccardo was very knowledgeable and never made us feel pressured. Saeid was awesome at making the numbers fit into my budget and the finance guy, Mark, was HILARIOUS! He pretty much took the "sting" that some of us feel, out of signing a new contract. With that being said, if the service department is as good as the sales department, my next car will definitley be bought at Cerritos Hyundai! Thanks guys, I am LOVING my new car!" -alybee

Hyundai earns four Vincentric best value in America rewards
COSTA MESA, Calif., March 15, 2012 – Four Hyundai models, Accent, Elantra, Genesis Coupe and Tucson earned the distinction of “Best Value in America” for 2012 from Vincentric, an automotive data compilation and analysis firm. Tucson earned top honors in the Crossover Compact Entry-Level category for the second year in a row. Accent won the award in the Subcompact category, Elantra in the Compact Sedan category and Genesis Coupe in the Mid-Size Coupe category.
“Hyundai’s four Vincentric Best Value in America winners reflect the gains Hyundai has shown over the past several years in terms of sales, styling, and overall market acceptance,” said David Wurster, president, Vincentric. “This creates strong residual values, which in turn reduces depreciation cost, thereby lowering total cost of ownership for Hyundai vehicles.”
Vincentric measures cost-of-ownership using eight different cost factors: depreciation, fuel, insurance, opportunity cost, financing, maintenance, taxes and state fees, and repairs. Using a statistical model, the company identified its Best Value in America winners by measuring which vehicles had a lower than expected ownership costs given their market segment and price. Each vehicle was evaluated in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia using a range of annual mileage intervals and insurance profiles.
“The Accent, Elantra, Genesis Coupe and Tucson are all prime examples of models that not only meet but exceed customer expectations when it comes to value,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Hyundai’s high fuel economy vehicles combined with its strong Assurance program reduces the overall cost of ownership and allows the company to offer quality vehicles with very strong residual values.”

Hyundai Tucson takes top honors in the small SUV category
COSTA MESA, Calif., March 20, 2012 – Hyundai ranked as the number two brand in terms of Total Value, according to Strategic Vision’s 2012 Total Value Index™ (TVI). Additionally, Hyundai’s sleek crossover Tucson was named the “Small SUV” segment leader in Strategic Vision’s study. The TVI looks at all aspects of perceived value; from quality, to economics to customer appeal.
“Hyundai continues to shift the paradigm of how customers perceive real value in their automotive purchases,” said Alexander Edwards, president, Strategic Vision. “For example, customers who purchased a Hyundai Sonata explicitly stated that they ‘Love’ the product attributes such as styling as well as overall value more than any other buyer of models in the midsize segment. When such synergy exists, you have a leader in value that results in strong sales.”
Presented annually since 1995, the TVI was calculated from 68,088 buyers who purchased models during September 2010 to June 2011. Total Value is a calculation of explicit owner statements on 442 attributes and focuses on immediate and expected (long term) economic factors such as warranty, technical innovation, standard equipment and fuel economy.
“Hyundai’s continued rise in Strategic Vision’s TVI reinforces the strength of our brand and the appeal of our vehicles,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “With stand-out designs, loads of innovative features and outstanding fuel economy, it’s no wonder that vehicles like the Tucson are consistently exceeding the expectations of our customers.”
Hyundai’s star Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) Tucson strikes a stark contrast from its competitors and excels in every functional area, from its roomier cabin with extra cargo space to its excellent fuel economy and fun-to-drive personality. Tucson features the company’s “Fluidic Sculpture” design language and showcases precedent-setting engineering including advanced weight saving technology and two eco-efficient Theta II four-cylinder engines delivering up to 32 mpg on the highway.

Thank you to our wonderful customers for taking the time to share their feedback!
"I highly recommend Cerritos Hyundai.
I was looking for a popular vehicle, with a certain package combination that's hard to come by.
They have such a good size inventory that they had exactly the vehicle I was looking for in stock.
Since it's a popular car and package, they could have tried to sell it to me at a higher price, but Cerritos Hyundai worked with me to offer the best price possible. Ricky was super helpful and made the buying process a breeze.
He genuinely loves the brand and his job and looks out for his customers.
I really appreciated his assistance.I live in LA, so I went out of my way a bit to shop at Cerritos Hyundai, but it was well worth the drive.
Everyone with whom I've dealt thus far - in sales, finance and service - has been incredibly helpful and professional." -vgayles

Hyundai named leader in fuel-efficiency and CO2 emissions in America
COSTA MESA, Calif., March 9, 2012 – In a government-issued report today, Hyundai Motor America was named number one in fuel economy and CO2 emissions in America by topping the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy rankings for the 2010 model year, beating out traditional leaders Honda and Toyota. No make scored higher than Hyundai. This is the second time Hyundai has led in both categories, having achieved this distinction previously for the 2008 model year.
The EPA 2011 Light-Duty Automotive Technology and Fuel Economy Trends Report identified Hyundai as the top 2010 brand with an adjusted[1] fuel economy rating of 27.0 miles per gallon. In addition to being named the most fuel efficient brand, Hyundai also had the lowest fleet-wide adjusted composite CO2 emissions performance (329 g/mi) for the 2010 model year.
The EPA 2011 Trends Report also indicates that preliminary 2011 model year values suggest that Hyundai will maintain its fuel economy leadership. Forecasts show that Hyundai will achieve an adjusted fuel economy rating of 27.5 miles per gallon in the 2011 model year.
With a strong offering of fuel efficient models, including Elantra, Sonata Hybrid, Accent and Veloster M/T all achieving estimated 40 mpg highway fuel economy ratings, Hyundai continues to set the industry bar in fuel efficiency. In 2011, Hyundai achieved a corporate average fuel economy level of 36.1 mpg and sold 214,132 40 mpg vehicles, representing one-third of total sales.
“The 2011 EPA data demonstrates Hyundai’s commitment to fuel economy leadership and validates the effectiveness of our Blue Drive strategy,” said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America president and CEO. “We are committed to developing a suite of smart fuel-efficient strategies – from hybrids to new solutions in high-technology gasoline vehicles. Gas prices are expected to hit record highs this summer and consumers are looking for ways to cut back on fuel costs with cars that offer improved fuel economy. Through innovations such as light-weight steel, direct injection technology, turbocharging and advanced transmissions we are able to improve the efficiency and performance of all our vehicles, allowing us to achieve best-in-class fuel economy and emissions levels for the Hyundai brand.”

Hyundai Motor Company unveils teaser images of all-new Santa Fe
Hyundai Motor Co., one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing automakers, today unveiled exterior teaser images of the all-new Santa Fe, which had been known by its code name DM in Korea. The all-new Santa Fe will have its world premiere at the New York International Auto Show in early April.
Hyundai will keep the name “Santa Fe” for the new vehicle, continuing the solid brand heritage of the automaker’s most representative SUV model. The all-new Santa Fe, which is entering its third generation, has reached worldwide cumulative sales of about 2.56 million units (Korea: 680,000 / overseas: 1.95 million) since its 2000 debut.
Based on Hyundai’s design philosophy, Fluidic Sculpture, the new Santa Fe adopts its own design concept called “Storm Edge,” which captures the strong and dynamic images created by nature during the formation of a storm.
The third-generation Santa Fe features sophisticated and refined lines, which are in harmony with bold and voluminous surfaces, completing a more aggressive and classic look than its predecessor.
The design adopts the hexagonal grille – a key design cue of the Hyundai family look – a two-tone voluminous bottom car body and wider front and rear bumpers, creating a futuristic and urban-style SUV image.
Dynamic side character lines give a more aerodynamic feeling, while emotional details expressed on the exterior design deliver a premium image, suggesting a new design direction for Hyundai’s next-generation SUVs.
The all-new Santa Fe, whose core product concepts are “Refinement,” ”Smartness” and “Practicality, ” is expected to be a hit in the global SUV market, offering the best value to customers in every aspect, with its differentiated design, cutting-edge technologies, good fuel economy and practical use of space.

Thank you for the great review, Jerry!
"Traded my 2002 Sonata LX to 2012 Elantra GLS. Negotiation took less than 30 minutes, very happy with the deal. Since i dont want to go through the hassle of selling my car, Ray Leiva and Javed Rasheed gave me an acceptable trade in value base on the current blue book value of my Sonata. Javed did what he could to accomodate the price i can afford as my monthly payment by getting a lower finance rate, increasing my trade-in value and lowering price of the car.
Very happy with the deal - with Elantra's lower gas mileage compare to my V6 Sonata, what i'll save from gas will help with my monthly payments while enjoying a brand new car. ..sweet deal..." -Jerry

Hyundai reveals all new I20 ahead of Geneva Debut
Hyundai has released the first image of the All New i20, ahead of its world premiere at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The new model will take the stage three years after the launch of the original i20, featuring refreshed styling, enhanced equipment and among the lowest CO2 emissions in the European B-segment.
Among the four powertrain options available to buyers of the All New i20 will be the new 1,1-litre, 3-cylinder ‘U-II’ diesel engine that generates 75 ps. When mated to technologies from Hyundai’s Blue Drive sub-brand, the upgraded model emits just 84 g/km of CO2. The engine was developed at Hyundai’s Diesel Centre of Excellence – part of the European R&D set-up in Rüsselsheim, Germany – and showcases Hyundai expertise in clean diesel technology.
This ground-breaking new engine will be offered alongside another sub-100 g/km diesel. When combined with Blue Drive technologies, the upgraded 1,4-litre ‘U-II’ 90 ps engine emits 96 g/km.
The debut of the All New i20 sees the introduction of fluidic sculpture form language to Hyundai’s supermini. The revised exterior design carries the hallmarks of Hyundai styling, including the company’s signature hexagonal grille and new headlamp units. Updating their own design from the original i20, the stylists at Hyundai’s European design studio have further modernised All New i20 with a more contemporary profile for the front and rear bumpers, a new sculpted bonnet and new wheel designs.
In terms of dimensions, the width (1710 mm), height (1490 mm) and wheelbase (2525 mm) of All New i20 remain the same, while the length has increased by just 55 mm (front 30 mm, rear 25 mm) over its predecessor to 3995 mm.
Allan Rushforth, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai Motor Europe commented, “The i20 has been very popular with European buyers since it came to market in 2009, thanks to its combination of efficiency, quality, practicality and value. With an enhanced powertrain line-up that includes some of the cleanest powertrains in its segment, and sharper styling influenced by fluidic sculpture, the All New i20 will appeal to a broader range of buyers, including younger consumers. The assurance of our industry-best, comprehensive Five Year Triple Care package makes the All New i20 an even more attractive proposition.”
As with all newly-launched models inEurope, the All New i20 comes with Five Year Triple Care, comprising a five-year unlimited warranty, five years of roadside assistance, and five years of vehicle health checks.
Further information about Hyundai’s world-premiere products, including the All New i20, will be announced at the company’s press conference at the Geneva Motor Show, taking place in Hall 1 at 09:45(CET) on Tuesday 6th March 2012.

We sincerely appreciate our customers' feedback!
"I had called Cerritos Hyundai and Jeff Williams had helped me with the process of my purchase. He was kind enough to help me to various options and was very helpful into satisfying me. He was on top of everything and very prompt. I would totally recommend anyone to go to this dealer and would really recommend Jeff!" -ehjs

We sincerely appreciate our customers' feedback!
"We went to Glendora Hyundai dealership before visiting Cerritos and it was horrible. The sales person was nice but the sales manager was a jerk who did not seem to care if he put people in vehicles or not. He was unhelpful and unwilling to work with us at all which was absurd considering the fact that he did not have the color or style of vehicle that I wanted on his lot. He could not order the car I wanted and basically said I was out of luck. He didn't care and it was obvious - the sales room was empty - there were no other customers and the reason for that was telling - no one wanted to work for our business. Initially we avoided Cerritos Auto Mall because we had a horrible experience previously at Nissan but then thought we'd give it another shot because Hyundai was a different car dealer. When we got there the place was a flurry of activity with several customers and salespeople working to make car deals (a vast contrast to Glendora Hyundai). We worked with Jeff Williams who was hands down awesome and passionate about putting customers into the car they want to drive. He was very personable, actually listened to our concerns and was willing to work hard to assist with getting me into the car I wanted. Unfortunately the car that I could afford was out of stock so Jeff and Javed Rasheed (Finance Mgr) really worked with me on the price to get me into an even better car with more options for a fair price. After I left the dealership Jeff called me on my cell phone because they did not give me my second set of keys for my new car so he actually met me halfway to deliver the keys to me so I wouldn't have to drive all the way back to the dealership. Talk about service! I would recommend going to this dealership." dwhite4
