Thanks for the great review!

While shopping for a Hyundai Genesis, I made an email inquiry to Inver Grove Heights Hyundai. Lisa Wolters contacted me, and I arranged test drives of both a Genesis R-Spec and an Equus. While I ended up buying at a dealer where I live, Lisa proved the epitome of the kind of car salesman I prefer to deal with. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful and not pushy. The prices that were offed me were also competitive. If my local dealer hadn't been very competitive in price, I would have been more than willing to buy at this dealership (about 80 miles from where I live).-427435

On Future Hyundais, Your Smart Phone Will Be Your Key

Hyundai is previewing its vision for the future of car connectivity with a new technology demonstrator based on its i30 hatchback sold overseas.

Aptly named the Connectivity Concept, the new i30-based technology demonstrator showcases the future of mobile phone and car integration from the Korean automaker.

The highlight of the Connectivity Concept is its ability to turn a smartphone into a key, allowing owners of a vehicle to enter and lock the car by simply using their smartphone.

Rather than require them to actually download an app or play around with buttons, the owner simply has to place their smartphone over an NFC-tag (Near Field Communication) located on one of the car’s window.

Once inside, the smartphone can then be placed in the center console, a process that then activates the user’s profile and allows full control of the smartphone’s features via a dash-mounted touch-screen display.

This makes the system ideal for multiple users who can quickly and easily be synced with the car.

All user content such as music, phone contacts, radio station preferences and individual profile settings can then be accessed. Additionally, settings such preferred seat and mirror adjustment could also be recognized.

And the best part is that users need not worry that their smartphone’s battery might go flat, as the device can be wirelessly charged while it’s sitting in the center console.

Hyundai is working with technology partner Broadcom Corporation to further develop its new smartphone-based connectivity system and hopes to have it, along with other technologies, ready for production by 2015.

This was my first experience of buying a new Elantra from this dealership
and it was great. Hanafy and Jessica were very friendly and helpfull. Hanafy explained us all possible optional features of different models. We took several cars to the test drive. He helped us to set up a link with a cell phone, explained how to activate a garage door opener and many other features of this great car. Thank you for a great service and a very good car.-Vladimir & Rita

Hyundai noted as a 2013 Military Friendly Employer

Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and other periodicals for veterans and military families, has named Hyundai Motor America as a 2013 Military Friendly Employer. Using the same survey and methodology as their Top 100 Military Friendly Employers list, the automobile distributor was scored through programs and policies including percentage of hires with prior military service, company military recruiting efforts and retention programs.

“It is a tremendous honor for us to be named a military friendly employer by Victory Media. Providing opportunities to the men and women that have served this country is an important part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion at Hyundai,” said Paul Koh, acting executive director of human resources for Hyundai Motor America. “We greatly appreciate and value the knowledge and expertise that employees with military experience bring to our company.”

Hyundai Motor America will be honored among other companies designated as Military Friendly Employers in Victory Media’s January edition of G.I. Jobs Magazine.

“Companies earning the prestigious Military Friendly Employers designation are rising stars with strong military recruitment programs and meaningful job opportunities for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment,” said Sean Collins, vice president for Victory Media and director of G.I. Jobs. “These Military Friendly Employers are on the right trajectory to be a top 100 Employer in years to come.”

Hyundai Holidays Sales Event

Thanks for the great review!

I was currently not driving a Sonata. I really wanted to return to being a Sonata owner.

I had purchased a Kia Forte about two years ago. My experience at the Kia dealership was dreadful. I was lied to, even when we asked that the process be sped up we spent over three hours completing paperwork, with the business agent getting up and leaving and returning to the office.

My husband offered to go out and start the process of looking for a new Sonata. I told John I was unwilling to repeat the Kia experience.

Not only did we not repeat it we left IG Hyundai so pleased. Hanahy Mahmound, our salesperson and Jessica Braun, our business manager were great. I am driving a beautiful new Sonata. Our request to keep our closing to a particular time limit so I could keep a work appointment was graciously honored. Hanafy set my phone up, explained all the great features in the car and offered help anytime I mihgt need it.

Friends, family and work associates have all heard about our positive, professional experience. Thanks Hanafy & Jessica.-Eileen T

New Hyundai design kicks up a storm

There is a storm coming, but don’t panic. It won’t uproot your house, but the redesigned 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe will improve your driveway.

Looks

The 2013 Santa Fe has been totally changed with a bold new style called Storm Edge. The smooth flowing sheet metal creates the impression of continuous motion, while the panoramic sunroof allows a tremendous amount of light in the cabin. The body coloured side mirrors feature a thin LED turn signal that helps improve safety, and the headlights are projector style with Xenon HID lamps. Fog lights are integrated into the front bumper and are standard on all models. The other change to the Santa Fe is substantial weight reduction. Hyundai uses 30 per cent more high-tensile steel in the unitized body/frame, lighter seat frames and interior trim and lighter suspension components, among other things.

In The Cab

A 12-way power adjustable driver’s seat with heated and cooled capabilities give this CUV a high level of luxury. The rear seats are also heated and feature a 40/20/40 split. An available 8-inch touch screen navigation system also provides video for the backup camera.

Safety First

Safety features include: seven airbags (dual front, front seat-mounted Side-impact, roof-mounted side-curtain with rollover sensor and driver knee airbag); Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System (TCS); four-wheel disc brakes; and Anti-lock braking system (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). Further improving driver and passenger safety is the Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and Hill start Assist Control (HAC) systems.

Power

There are two motors to choose from: a 2.4-litre DOHC four cylinder, that puts out 190 horsepower; and a 2.0-litre T-GDI four-cylinder with a turbocharger that packs a punch with 264 horsepower and 269 lbs.-ft of torque. The lone transmission is a six-speed automatic with shiftronic manual mode.

Pump Frequency

2.4-litre FWD 9.5L/ 6.0 L /100 km (city/highway)

2.0-litre FWD 9.8L/ 6.4 L/100 km (city/highway)

Warranty Support

5 year/ 100,000 km Comprehensive

5 year/ 100,000 km Powertrain

8 year/ 130,000 km Major emission

3 year/ unlimited km 24 hour roadside assistance

Roadworthy

I really like the comfort level of this CUV. It handles exceptionally well, is fun to drive and offers lots of room inside. The hill assist control is a nice feature to have, too, as you don’t have to worry about rolling back if the car behind you is right on your bumper.

Verdict

Hyundai has come a long way over the years and is producing some exceptional vehicles at a fair price. This new Santa Fe proves they are not content in just sticking with what works, but rather continuing to improve. No wonder they are number one in customer satisfaction.

Thanks for the great review!

I was recently the victim of a hit and run accident and was forced much to my dismay to purchase a new vehicle because my car was totalled. I was not at all in the market for a new car and really didn't know what I wanted or where to start looking. I had shopped around several other dealerships before visiting Inver Grove and was extremely disappointed by the lack of customer service and the extreme pressure to buy a car I was not at all interested in. My experience with Steve was exactly the opposite. He was patient, friendly and extremly sympathetic to my situation, and I truly felt like he was concerned with helping me find the right car for me. I voiced my discouragement with other dealerships, and Steve really tried and succeeded in making the car buying process less painful and unpleasant than my previous encounters. I'm very pleased with my new car and I truly appreciate the hard work and great care in which my needs were handled.-Tina

Thanks for the great review!

I have been working with Mike Said for a few years now. He is by far the most pleasant salesman I have ever worked with. Always a great transaction. I have gotten two new cars from Mike. Hyundai has great cars for the money, and Inver Grove Hyundai has a great selection. Mike is a wonderful person to work with, friendly, accommodating, and has always gotten me a fantastic car. Most recently, Angie helped facilitate the purchase of my newest vehicle, and was wonderful and friendly as well. I couldn't ask for a more understanding, accommodating, and friendly staff to purchase a new vehicle from. I can't see myself working with anyone else in the near future. As long as Mike is there, he will be my go-to guy. An absolutely pleasure.-Alex
