Hyundai

Hyundai is one of two automotive brands owned and by the Hyundai Motor Company that operates in the U.S., the other being Kia. The Korean company entered the U.S. market in 1986 with the Excel, which sold well but established a poor reputation for quality. Quality concerns were addressed with the introduction of the industry's longest powertrain warranty. Hyundai has also expanded its lineup to include larger cars, luxury vehicles, sports cars, CUVs and SUVs.
