HYUNDAI IS THE HIGHEST RANKED NON-PREMIUM NAMEPLATE IN THE J.D. POWER AND ASSOCIATES INITIAL QUALITY STUDY
J.D. Power and Associates announced today that Hyundai is the highest ranked non-premium nameplate in the 2009 Initial Quality StudySM (IQS) and is ranked fourth among all nameplates. Hyundai owners had fewer problems with their vehicles than any other non-premium car or truck brand. In addition to Hyundai’s strong overall showing, the Hyundai Elantra earned the award for the highest initial quality in the compact car segment. The all-new Hyundai Genesis significantly outperforms the average midsize premium car.

Pre-launch Orders for Hyundai’s First Hybrid Pass 1,000
The rush is on for the Elantra LPI Hybrid, Hyundai Motor Company’s first hybrid vehicle, which arrives in Korean showrooms on July 8. Hyundai said Thursday it has received, in just two weeks, more than 1,000 pre-launch orders at home for its first hybrid car, the world’s first hybrid to use liquefied petroleum gas and lithium polymer batteries. The orders exceed expectations considering that Korean customers are still largely unacquainted with hybrid vehicles and that the Elantra LPI Hybrid’s price is expected to be higher than the conventional gasoline version, even with the tax incentives from the government.
