Hyundai Motor America Sells Its First Special Edition Veloster RE:MIX Model

Hyundai Motor America recently delivered the first of its new Veloster RE:MIX limited edition models to its excited new owner at Sterling McCall Hyundai in Houston, Texas. Hyundai began selling its special edition production Veloster in mid-February alongside a comprehensive offering of stylish, well-equipped and efficient sedans, coupes and crossovers, including the all-new 2013 Santa Fe SUV and the stylish and fun-to-drive 2013 Elantra GT.

Inspired by Hyundai’s successful RE:MIX Lab program, Hyundai first introduced the special edition RE:MIX production Veloster to consumers at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show at Las Vegas in November 2012. This limited edition production Veloster features an aggressive sporty exterior with a unique body kit, 18-inch dark gunmetal-finish alloy wheels, LED headlight accents and taillights, and unique RE:MIX badging. The interior is enhanced with a 450-watt premium Dimension audio system, push-button start with proximity key, leather steering wheel and shift knob, unique interior light kit and RE:MIX floormats.

This Veloster is a turn-key production offering with an aggressive demeanor, specifically for enthusiasts. Truly a “Re-Mix,” this Veloster is a cool blend of exclusive features and options that synthesize to create a distinctive lifestyle offering from Hyundai. In addition to the exclusive Sprint Gray exterior color, a simplified color palate of five additional Veloster colors will be available: Century White, 26.2 Yellow, Marathon Blue, Ultra Black and Boston Red. The Veloster RE:MIX starts at $20,845 for the manual transmission model (including a $795 freight charge).

“The Veloster RE:MIX represents the ultimate Hyundai lifestyle coupe in terms of style, design and performance,” said the sales manager of Sterling McCall Hyundai. “Many Hyundai customers today are looking for individual design expression, exclusivity and smartphone connectivity. Veloster RE:MIX delivers a truly unique sporty appearance, premium branded audio and abundant tech features.”

Hyundai’s Veloster is an innovative compact coupe that features ground-breaking design, with a unique curbside third door for easy rear-seat access, Hyundai’s Blue Link® telematics system, Pandora® internet radio with seven-inch touch-screen display and a new 1.6-liter direct-injected four-cylinder engine. Veloster continues to attract Hyundai’s next generation of buyers, earning numerous accolades including Bloomberg’s “Best Economy Car,” one of Kelley Blue Book’s “10 Coolest New Cars under $18,000” and Autobytel’s Car of the Year for 2012.

A big thanks to Tiffany for sharing her experience with us!

"My 1999 Daewoo Leganza ( yeah, yeah, I know) finally broke down (the head gasket is blown) and I was desperate for a new car. I'd already been planing to buy a new car for over a year so I'd done a lot of research and had pretty much settled on the Hyundai Elantra.I'd gone to another Hyundai dealership about 6 months earlier and had a bad experience where they ran my credit through 10 banks right off the bat and killed my decent credit score, so I was skeptical about leaving with a car at Cerritos Hyundai and was dead set and walking out if they tried to sell me on some ridiculous finance packaged with a crazy high car note. Boy was I mistaken. My salesman was really nice and didn't pressure me at all. And to my surprise I was able to get financed with a doable amount down and a doable car note.Although my 2013 Elantra isn't fully loaded, I'm a baller on a budget and was able to get it nicely equipped. I'm very happy with my purchase and very happy with the service I received. I'd buy from them again and recommend them to someone else looking to buy a car." - Tiffany T.

I started buy letting him know what i was looking for and the price range i wanted. He was very pasient and friendly. He made sure i was ok at every step of the way and give me exelent advice thru out my car buying experience. the best thing out of the hole experience was that at any part of my visit felt any presure of buying anything at all, he made sure to let me know that i did not have to buy anything that day but to look around and test drive some cars if i wanted. Any ways, the point is that I'm so happy of his hospitality and friendship that i would recommend him to all of my friends and families. Thank You Manuel."- mamj04

Hyundai Takes Tip Honors In Brand Keys 2013 Customer Loyalty Engagement Index

The Hyundai brand continues to grow in 2013, tying for the No. 1 spot in the automotive category in the 2013 Customer Loyalty Engagement Index. Brand Keys, a New York-based brand, customer loyalty and engagement consultancy, publishes this annually syndicated study which examines customers’ relationships with 375 different brands in 54 categories. For the third year in a row, Hyundai made the top of the list in the automotive category.

“Congratulations to Hyundai for yet another loyalty win,” said Robert Passikoff, founder and president of Brand Keys, Inc. “Hyundai has managed to sustain real levels of emotional engagement for their brand and for their customers by leveraging and personalizing technology, all the while providing real brand value.”

Hyundai’s continued brand success is largely attributed to the positive reception of its newly redesigned vehicles including Santa Fe, Elantra GT, Elantra Coupe and Veloster Turbo, all of which have received significant consumer interest since their respective launches last year. These new vehicles contributed to Hyundai’s great success in 2012, breaking the 700,000 vehicle sales barrier and increasing market share to six percent.

The Hyundai brand also remains dedicated to creativity and innovation, supporting its music partnership with The Recording Academy® and The GRAMMYS®, engaging with consumers that love great music and are passionate about music creation.

“We’re looking forward to both new and returning customers experiencing a 2013 Hyundai line-up filled with stylish and affordable vehicles,” said Steve Shannon, vice president, Marketing, Hyundai Motor America. “Hyundai continues to be completely committed to our customers from the moment they consider shopping for a new car, through the sales and service process. It’s rewarding to see that our efforts to exceed customer expectations results in superior long-term loyalty.”

Automotive brands rounding out the top of the list in the 2013 Index are: Ford (tied for No. 1), Toyota/Honda (tied for No. 2), GM (No. 3), Chrysler (No. 4), and BMW/Lexus (tied for No. 5). For the complete 2013 Customer Loyalty Engagement Index, visit http://brandkeys.com.

For the Brand Keys 2013 survey, 39,000 consumers self-selected the categories in which they are consumers and the brands for which they are customers. Assessments fused rational and emotional aspects of the categories to identify the drivers of loyalty and engagement, and to determine how well the brand met or exceeded consumers’ expectations in the category.

Two Hyundai Models Named "Best Bets" By The Car Book

The 2013 Hyundai Sonata and 2013 Santa Fe continue to add to their trophy cases as both cars have been named “BEST BETS” in the 33rd edition of The Car Book, America’s first consumer car buying guide. This marks the third consecutive year Hyundai Sonata has earned this distinction.

“We appreciate the fact that Hyundai has made a significant contribution to improving the market choice for the American Buyer,” said Jack Gilles, author, The Car Book. “During these most challenging times for the auto industry, the fact that Hyundai vehicles have the quality and features most important to today’s car buyer is a testament to Hyundai’s desire to meet customer needs.”

Now in its 33rd consecutive year, The Car Book has been the consumer’s best guide to smart and sensible car buying. The publication’s “BEST BETS” distinctionsare awarded to new vehicles each year which cater to the needs of American consumers, and in turn, make a significant contribution to the American automotive market. Vehicles are rated in nine key Car Book categories: crash tests, safety features, rollover, preventative maintenance, repair costs, warranty, fuel economy, customer complaints, and insurance costs.

“Receiving “BEST BETS” distinctions for both these vehicles demonstrates Hyundai’s commitment to quality across our entire lineup,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Customer feedback is an invaluable part of Hyundai product development. We strive every day to cater to the changing needs of our customers, and the “BEST BETS” distinctions showcase our ability to process feedback into the quality products that Hyundai owners demand.”

The Sonata is quickly becoming one of the most decorated vehicles in Hyundai’s lineup. With its impressive fuel economy, class-leading technologies such as Blue Link and 7-inch Infotainment System, and its seductive, Fluidic Sculpture design, the 2013 Sonata maintains its competitive edge amongst premium rivals in the mid-size sedan segment.

The all-new 2013 Santa Fe delivers Hyundai’s recipe of bold design and high-output powertrains. With a host of features to please drivers and passengers, functionality, versatility and comfort are key areas in which the Santa Fe exceeds customer expectations.

Three Hyundai Models Awarded 5-Year Cost To Own Accolade By Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com

Three Hyundai models, the 2013 Veloster, 2013 Veloster Turbo, and 2013 Sonata, received Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com’s coveted “5-Year Cost to Own Award.” Each vehicle was found to have the lowest cost of ownership over the initial 5-year ownership period, compared to any other car in their category. The 2013 Veloster won in the Compact Car Segment, the 2013 Veloster Turbo took first place in the Sporty Compact category, and 2013 Sonata bested competitors such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry to take the top spot in the Mid-Size Car segment. The awards will be presented to Hyundai at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show on February 7.

“The 5-Year Cost to Own Awards honor the vehicles and brands, both luxury and non-luxury, with the lowest projected ownership costs,” said Dan Ingle, vice president of vehicle valuations for Kelley Blue Book. “Highly competitive pricing and lower depreciation costs provide Hyundai’s vehicle line-up with a notable advantage. Coupled with impressive fuel economy and affordable insurance rates, it is no surprise that Hyundai is taking this honor in multiple vehicle segments.”

Kelley Blue Book’s 5-Year Cost to Own Award accounts for nearly all expenses of car ownership, including depreciation, expected fuel costs, finance and insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs, and state fees for new models. The awards exist to help shoppers make more informed new-car buying decisions by breaking down typical ownership cost details and naming the brands and models with the lower projected five-year total.

“Low cost of ownership is one area in which Hyundai strives to be industry-leading,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Receiving these awards from KBB.com showcases our ability to cater to the varying dynamics of our customers. Regardless of which vehicle our customers choose - a trendy and ergonomic Veloster, a sport-focused Veloster Turbo, or a family-oriented and user-friendly Sonata - value for money and low cost to own are truly characteristic of the Hyundai ownership experience.”
