To ensure your vehicle will remain covered by America’s Best Warranty, we suggest going to your Hyundai dealership at the recommended intervals prescribed in the Owner’s Manual. To get your recommended maintenance schedule online, click here. Your Hyundai dealer can also answer any questions you have pertaining to the maintenance schedule.

The most important thing to know is that your warranty can vary from model year to model year. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for the most accurate information on your vehicle’s warranty.

If you sell your vehicle while still under the 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, the warranty will be reduced to 5-year/60,000-mile coverage. Other Hyundai warranty terms and coverage periods, including Roadside Assistance, remain unchanged for subsequent owner(s).

For vehicles of model year 2004 and newer, the Original Owner is defined as the first retail purchaser of the vehicle who took delivery of the vehicle on its first date of use. Immediate family members are not included in this definition.

For vehicles of model years 1999-2003, the Original Owner is defined as the first retail purchaser of the vehicle who took delivery of the vehicle on its first date of use, as well as that person’s immediate family members (spouse, children, and step-children).

Hyundai Genuine Parts are covered by a 12-month Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty. Contact your local Hyundai dealer for details.

Our Roadside Assistance Program reflects our commitment to the customer’s Hyundai experience. If you are covered by the program and stranded on the side of the road, Hyundai’s Roadside Assistance will be available to help you. It is accessible in all 50 states and Canada, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This service is available for a period of 60 months/unlimited miles after the vehicle’s in-service date. Customers can use this service twice a year at no cost to them.

The Hyundai Roadside Assistance Program provides you with the following services:

• Towing to transport your vehicle to the nearest Hyundai Dealership or Authorized Service Facility in the event your vehicle is inoperable.
• Roadside services, such as dead battery/jump start, flat tire change, lock-out service (keys locked in car), or gas delivery (up to three gallons, where permissible, at no charge if you run out of gas).
• Trip Interruption Benefit
  
• In all five years of coverage, you will be eligible for two free roadside events per year. Should you happen to use your two free events in a given year, you would then need to pay the tow service provider for any further tow or roadside service in that year prior to such services being provided.
  

Hyundai customers can contact a Roadside Assistance representative via Blue Link or phone. Once you have a representative on the line, please be ready to provide the following information:

• Your name
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) located on the driver’s side dashboard
  
• Vehicle mileage

Yes. For more than a decade, Hyundai has led the industry with America’s Best Warranty. The Hyundai Protection Plan builds on that commitment. From routine maintenance to unexpected breakdown, damage, or loss, the company-backed Hyundai Protection Plan offers coverage that protects you and your wallet from many expenses resulting from everyday driving.

Many Hyundai dealerships offer them. If your selling dealership does not offer Hyundai Protection Plan products, you can call other dealerships in your area to find one that does. Click here to find participating Hyundai dealerships in your area.

Certain products such as Vehicle Service Contract can be added after the initial time of purchase. Please contact a participating Hyundai dealership for details. Click here to locate dealerships in your area.

 

For more information, contact your local participating Hyundai dealership, or click here.

Whether enhancing the coverage of a Hyundai vehicle’s factory warranty or providing coverage after the factory warranty expires, Hyundai Protection Plan Vehicle Service Contract offers comprehensive protection for mechanical repairs, parts, labor, and roadside assistance. There are three different levels of protection, allowing you to choose the one that best fits you.

• Powertrain
• Gold
  
• Premium

Hyundai dealerships carry a full line of Hyundai OE (Original Equipment) parts. In addition, Hyundai has recently introduced a second line of brake pads and rotors called Car Care Parts. The Hyundai OE parts offer longer wear, while the Car Care Parts are a more economical alternative. Both part lines are designed specifically for our Hyundai vehicles, providing optimum safety, performance, and reliability for our customers.

Hyundai has launched a second line of parts called Car Care Parts, which offers brake pads and rotors at a lower price.

Car Care Parts target vehicles that are 3-10 years old and covers all models, except the Equus and Genesis. The Accent (2000-2005) was equipped with rear drums and shoes, therefore brake pads and rotors are not needed.

Hyundai is considering other options and will announce them as they become available.

All Hyundai parts installed by a dealer are covered by a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty.

Car Care brake pads and rotors are covered by a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty. This is the same warranty as other Hyundai parts.

No, Car Care Parts cannot be used for warranty repairs. In a warranty repair, OE (Original Equipment) parts are used.

Hyundai Genuine Accessories are offered at every Hyundai dealership. Accessories are features and add-ons that do not come with your vehicle, but can be purchased through Hyundai dealerships. You can choose to purchase these at any time, even after your initial vehicle purchase. A complete list of available Genuine Hyundai Accessories specific to your vehicle is listed here.

Hyundai Genuine Accessories are designed specifically for Hyundai vehicles. When purchasing generic accessories, there is no guarantee that they will fit or work in Hyundai vehicles. By purchasing accessories made exclusively for Hyundai vehicles, the customer is guaranteed the product will work for their vehicle. Further, we offer a limited warranty on Hyundai Genuine Accessories.

You can view a complete list of available Genuine Hyundai Accessories specific to your vehicle here. You can create a wish list and find a dealer near you.

Genuine Hyundai Accessories can only be purchased through Hyundai dealerships. Click here to build your wish list and find a dealer near you.

Accessories installed by an authorized Hyundai Dealer: 

Model years 2003-2014: A Hyundai accessory installed on a new vehicle at the time of, or prior to the vehicle’s date of delivery to the original retail purchaser, or the date the vehicle is first put into service, is covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and is limited to 5 years from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use, or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

 

A Hyundai accessory installed by an authorized Hyundai dealer after the vehicle has been retailed or placed into service shall be warranted for 1 year or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the date of purchase or installation.

Accessories sold over the counter: 

A Hyundai accessory purchase over-the-counter is warranted for 1 year/unlimited mileage.

Blue Link launched on the 2012 Sonata and is available on most 2013 and newer Hyundai models. Vehicles later than 2013 that are not equipped with Blue Link include 2013-2017 Accent, 2013 Elantra sedan and 2013 Tucson.

There are three Blue Link packages: Connected Care, Remote and Guidance. After the trial period is over, each package is available for $99/year. The Connected Care Package comes with a complimentary trial for all new Blue Link-equipped vehicles. Currently, there are no a la carte options available. 

 

Connected Care is a comprehensive safety and car care package that offers peace of mind no matter where you are. Call Center agents are standing by 365 days a year, 24 hours a day to summon help or provide emergency assistance. The Remote package gives you convenient access to features via the web or smartphone app. You can Remote Start your car, use Remote Climate Control (if equipped), unlock/lock your doors or locate your car when you forget where you parked it. The Guidance Package provides more than just the quickest route to your destination. Destination Search powered by Google is perfect for those looking for new local knowledge.

Purchasing additional years of service during enrollment makes you eligible for discounted rates and provides you with the convenience of uninterrupted service. You can view the discount pricing during enrollment on your MyHyundai account.

Blue Link features can be accessed within the MyHyundai app, which can be downloaded directly from the Apple App Store® and Google Play™ on your mobile device.

If your Hyundai is stolen, file a stolen vehicle report with your local police department immediately. The Blue Link Customer Care agent will need a report number to help police find the location of your vehicle. Once your vehicle is located, local authorities will be dispatched to the scene and if still in motion, the agent will trigger a series of remote commands to ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop and the engine becomes immobilized to ensure your vehicle is recovered safely.

Blue Link is an embedded system, which means that you will be able to use most of the features without the need to have your cell phone in the car. However, some functions are enhanced with your cell phone through the mobile application like remote features.

Of course not! If your Hyundai is equipped with Blue Link, you can enroll at any time. Simply register or log in on the owner's portal at MyHyundai.com, and click to enroll in Blue Link. You'll just need your vehicle VIN (vehicle identification number located on the driver's side dashboard) and a credit card.

See quick "how to" videos that show you more about each Blue Link feature. Helpful information can be also found in the Blue Link User's Manual, which can be downloaded here.

By signing up for auto-renewal with a credit card, you will ensure continued services after the complimentary trial period comes to an end. Your credit card will be charged at the end of your complimentary trial period. As a courtesy, you will receive a timely reminder before your credit card is charged with the current Blue Link subscription rate.

A three-month trial for Connected Care, Remote and Guidance is available when you enroll (credit card required). Please visit your preferred Hyundai dealer for assistance with Blue Link enrollment.

Enhanced Roadside Assistance works in conjunction with your vehicle's Hyundai Assurance 24/7 Roadside Assistance coverage. GPS coordinates for your vehicle will be provided to the Blue Link Customer Care agent when making a Roadside Assistance call from inside the vehicle using the Blue Link button.

Android Auto extends the Android platform into the car in a way that’s purpose-built for driving.

Android Auto is a separate system from Blue Link. Android Auto offers customers the experience of your mobile phone on your vehicle's navigation screen while Blue Link offers services such as Remote Start, Remote Door Unlock as well as many other wonderful convenience and safety features.

Android Auto brings the Android experience into the car by ‘projecting’ apps and services to the screen in your Hyundai’s dash, and is designed to make it safer and easier to get the information you need when you’re on the road.

Android Auto enabled Hyundai cars have been in dealerships since 2015.

Automakers will be able to take advantage of a platform already being used by millions to deliver a familiar and consistent experience to their customers. Taking a platform-centric approach enables high-quality application development in a way that is purpose-built for cars.

Android Auto allows drivers to more easily access apps and services from their Android phone in the car, without disrupting their focus on the road.

By working together in the OAA (Open Automotive Alliance), automakers and technology companies are able to combine our experience to design a safe implementation intended to reduce driver distraction (with eyes-free technology, like voice). By making the implementation seamless with the automobile’s existing controls, we’re addressing drivers’ current temptations to fumble around with their handsets.

The Open Automotive Alliance is a group of automakers and technology companies that have come together to bring the best of Android into the automobile in a safe and seamless way.

Listed below are important basic Bluetooth commands. Please note that this is only a basic outline of instructions. For more detailed directions, refer to your Owner’s Manual, Navigation User’s Manual, or DIS User’s Manual.

• Pair your phone to the Bluetooth System: Since every phone has a different set of pairing instructions, click here to get step-by-step directions specific to your phone.
• Make a call: Below is a basic outline of how to make calls:

1. Press the talk button located on the steering wheel.
   
2. Listen for a noise and radio display that indicates the Bluetooth is listening.
3. If you wish to call a contact saved in your phone, say “Call (name).” Make sure you say the name exactly how it is stored in your phone. If you have more than one number saved for that contact, the Bluetooth will ask “home,” “office,” “mobile,” etc. State your selection.
4. If you wish to call a number, say “Call number.” After the Bluetooth asks for the number, say the phone number. The Bluetooth will then reply with the phone number to ensure it is correct. Say “Dial” to call that number.

• Receive a call: When you receive a call, you will hear a ring tone through the audio system. The message “INCOMING” and the caller ID will appear on the screen (depending on the model). To answer, press the SEND button located on the steering wheel.
• End a call: When you have finished a phone call, end the call by pressing the END button located on the steering wheel.

Hyundai has nearly 800 authorized dealers from coast to coast. Hyundai dealerships are equipped to deal with any issue your vehicle may have, from routine maintenance to supplemental service. We strongly encourage our customers to take their vehicles to a Hyundai dealership where only factory-trained technicians will work on your vehicle. No one knows Hyundai vehicles better than our technicians! They have access to a specialized diagnostic system and tools designed especially for Hyundai vehicles. Hyundai dealerships are tied to the manufacturer, receive factory authorized instructions and use only Genuine Hyundai Parts and Accessories. Taking your Hyundai to your preferred Hyundai dealerships allows your vehicle to be properly maintained and serviced, which preserves the life of your car and ensures it will be covered by our warranty. Call your local Hyundai dealer when your vehicle requires attention. Visit the My Preferred Dealer section of this site for your dealer’s contact information.

Setting up your first appointment to get your Hyundai serviced at a Hyundai dealership is extremely important. We suggest our customers schedule their first appointment while at the Hyundai dealer. This gives you the opportunity to meet the service advisor and service managers, who can explain your vehicle’s maintenance requirements. 

 

If you were unable to schedule your appointment at the dealer, you can schedule an appointment by calling the dealership, with Blue Link (if equipped), through the MyHyundai website, or through the Hyundai dealership website.

It is important to have your Hyundai vehicle serviced at the recommended intervals in order for the vehicle to continue performing at its optimal level. For your Hyundai’s recommended maintenance schedule, please click here for an online reference. You can also refer to the Maintenance section in the Owner’s Manual or contact your Hyundai dealer for a full list of minimum maintenance requirements. The maintenance schedule will vary depending on how you drive and the conditions you drive in. Below is a list to help you determine your vehicle’s category:

 

What is the difference between severe and normal driving conditions?
Driving conditions are considered severe:

• For repeated short distances.
• In dusty or sandy areas, in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used.
• On rough or muddy roads.
• In mountainous areas.
• For extended periods of idling or low speed operation.
• For prolonged periods in cold or extremely humid climates.
• More than 50% of driving in heavy city traffic in temperatures above 90°F.
• If using brakes extensively.

Driving conditions are considered normal

• If your car did not fall into the previous severe category

Always observe your vehicle’s performance closely. Your vehicle’s onboard technology helps monitor vehicle performance and operation. A number of warning light indicators on the instrument panel are your key to understanding these active monitors. Warning light illumination is an indicator that your vehicle needs the expert attention of the trained technicians and special service equipment available at your local Hyundai dealer. Your Owner’s Manual can give you more information on instrument panel gauges and warning light indicators.

To ensure the best response to your service needs, it is suggested that you call your local Hyundai dealer to make an appointment in advance when your vehicle is in need of service. Contact your local Hyundai dealer to make an appointment.

A Service Rental Car may be made available to you for warranty-covered repairs (participating dealers only). Additionally, some dealers may assist you in renting a car at your expense for any other work you may wish to have performed on your Hyundai. Please contact your local Hyundai dealer before taking your car in to see if alternate transportation is available to you.

Retaining service records can add value to your vehicle and prove that critical, required maintenance has been performed, which validates eligible warranty repairs. Service records should be added to your service history online to help verify that maintenance has been performed. This is especially important if your vehicle is serviced by someone other than an authorized Hyundai dealer. 

Genuine Hyundai Parts are specially designed and engineered to meet Hyundai’s high-performance standards and are backed by Hyundai’s Warranty. Contact your local dealer for details.

Depending upon your area’s weather conditions, seasonal services may be helpful. Review the Maintenance Schedule in your Owner’s Manual for seasonal variations. You should also contact your local dealer for recommended seasonal services pertaining specifically to your geographic area.

Before buying a particular child restraint system (child safety seat), make sure it fits your car and your child, and complies with your state’s specific safety requirements. You should look for a child safety seat that meets the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

Child safety seat recommendations are made based on the child’s age, weight, and height. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) provides the following guidelines:

• Infants, from birth to at least age one, weighing at least 20 pounds should ride in the backseat in a rear-facing safety seat. Infants weighing 20 pounds or more before one year should ride in a convertible child safety seat rated for heavier infants (most convertible seats are rated up to 30-35 pounds rear facing).
• Children over one year and at least 20 pounds may ride in a forward-facing child safety seat in the backseat. Children should ride in a safety seat with full harness until they reach the upper weight or height limit of the particular seat (usually around age 4 and 40 pounds).
• All children who have outgrown child safety seats should be properly restrained in booster seats until they are at least 8 years old, unless they are 4'9" or taller.

All child safety seat harness straps should be fitted snug against your child, and should lie in a relatively straight line, without sagging or excessive slack. Please read your child safety seat's instruction manual for further information and visit the NHTSA website: visit the NHTSA website

 

An improperly installed child safety seat may not function correctly in an accident, hard stop, or other sudden maneuver and can cause harm to your child. Child safety seats should always be installed in the rear seat of your vehicle, as this positioning has proven to be safer than front-seat child restraints by NHTSA. When installing the child safety seat, be sure to follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer. In addition, please closely consult your Owner’s Manual.

For more on the selection and installation of effective child restraint systems, please visit the Child Passenger Safety section of the NHTSA website: Child Passenger Safety section of the NHTSA website

Your Hyundai vehicle's Owner's Manual provides child passenger safety information specific to your vehicle. Additionally, we recommend that you consult and follow your state's laws regarding child passenger safety. For additional information, we recommend that you visit the Governors Highway Safety Association's website at the following url.

In between service visits, there are several things you can do to help keep your vehicle running like new. Below are some general guidelines. Please be sure to check your Owner’s Manual for specific information on maintaining your vehicle or visit MyHyundai.com.

• Engine oil - Check your oil at every fuel fill-up. Add oil if the level is below the lower mark on your dipstick.
• Engine coolant - Check the coolant in your engine often (at least monthly) by checking the reserve tank. Be sure to check the reserve tank and make sure not to remove the radiator cap—the fluid inside is extremely hot.
  
• Windshield washer fluid - Check your windshield washer fluid at every fuel fill-up.
  
• Automatic transmission fluid - Your authorized Hyundai dealer should check your automatic transmission fluid, linkage, and controls yearly.
  
• Brake fluid - Brake fluid level has an indicator light in the instrument cluster. If the light illuminates, contact your local Hyundai dealer.
  
• Tires - Check your tire pressure at least monthly to ensure that your tires are properly inflated (this includes your spare). Also be sure to check tire tread for uneven or excessive wear and foreign objects.
  
• Air conditioning - Check your air conditioning often by turning it on for a short time regularly.
  
• Lights - Check all of your lights—head, tail, parking, and brake lights, high-mount brake light, turn signals, backup and license plate lights—at least monthly.

This innovative service lets you use your smartphone for a quick and easy way to schedule a test drive. To get started, download the app now or get access via Hyundai’s website

A certified Hyundai Sales Representative from one of the closest dealerships to your pick-up location will be picking you up for your test drive. The picture and name of the sales rep is revealed once you start to message back and forth with the dealership through in-app messaging and once they leave to pick you up for the test drive.

Dealerships require you to have a valid driver's license in order to take a test drive. Similar to when you take a test drive at the dealership, we will need to verify you have a valid ID.

You can! After you book your test drive, you can start a conversation with your local dealer through messaging, and then you two may handpick the vehicle you'd like them to bring.

Once a test drive is booked, the "Test Drive a Hyundai" button on the home screen will now read "Test Drive Booked." You may tap through and tap "Cancel my drive," and your dealership will be notified that you would no longer like to take a test drive.

Simply tap into the "Test Drive Booked" icon on the home screen, then tap on the map, and you will be able to edit your location.

You can edit your test drive at any point during the request, simply tap on any information on the test drive summary screen and select the new information you'd like to send to the dealership.

• If you select "Come to me" a Hyundai sales representative will come to the location of your choice, with the model vehicle of your choice, at the date and time you select.
• If you select "Go to Dealer" you will still choose the date, time, and model vehicle you'd like to test drive, and you will head to the closest available dealership for the test drive. The nice part is you now have a booked appointment and the sales representatives will be ready to go when you get there.

Choosing a music preference is optional for the consumers to choose and dealers to play. We’ll keep working on the best music options for you.

You don't know until you try! Of course dealerships will try to fulfill every test drive possible, but they are limited by time and distance. Please try to book a test drive through the Hyundai Drive platform, and you will be connected to the sales representative closest to you.

Hyundai is announcing the release of a new report from the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) that details the company's and its network of independent dealers’ significant impact on the United States’ economy. The report provides an analysis of Hyundai's robust contributions to job creation, capital investments, and overall economic growth in the country.

 

The report found that, in combination with its independent dealer network, Hyundai contributes over 190,000 American jobs and adds $20.1 billion annually to the U.S. economy, as of 2021.

CAR’s report found that Hyundai is an integral member of the U.S. economy. In combination with its independent dealer network, Hyundai contributed over 190,000 American jobs, as of 2021. In turn, these jobs added $20.1 billion to the U.S. economy, including $3 billion in social welfare contributions and $2.8 billion in federal and state taxes.

The report’s full findings, including Hyundai’s impact within all seven key operating states, can be found here https://www.hyundainews.com/en-us/releases/3925.

https://www.hyundainews.com/en-us/releases/3925.

The report was compiled by CAR’s research team with data provided by Hyundai and the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA). CAR utilized a commercially available and peer-reviewed, dynamic input-output model of the U.S. economy to calculate Hyundai’s economic impact.

This study encompasses Hyundai’s economic activities in the U.S. during 2021 and early 2022, as well as a brief history of Hyundai’s presence in the country since 1986.

The report estimates that Hyundai and its independent dealers contributed a total of 190,950 U.S. jobs, as of 2021. Hyundai’s operations directly employed 7,050 individuals, while its extensive independent dealer network employed an impressive 54,100 people in 2021.

• Hyundai and its dealer networks have a wide-reaching impact on job creation, supporting 53,400 supplier jobs throughout the automotive industry. An additional 76,000 jobs are created throughout the economy through the expenditures of these direct and indirect employees, CAR estimates, bringing the total number of jobs Hyundai contributes to the U.S. economy to 190,950.

With a job multiplier effect of 8.3 – meaning that an additional 7.3 jobs are generated for every job that Hyundai’s automotive operations create – the report further establishes Hyundai as an integral catalyst to many local economies. The job multiplier for Hyundai’s dealer operations is 2.5.

The job multiplier describes the indirect and induced employment effects that result from a given economic activity. In Hyundai’s case, the job multiplier is 8.3 throughout all of the company’s U.S. automotive operations, meaning that an additional 7.3 jobs are generated for every job that Hyundai’s automotive operations create.

 

As Hyundai’s network of 835 U.S. dealerships are owned and operated by independent entrepreneurs, the report counted these jobs separately from those created by Hyundai’s own automotive operations. The job multiplier specifically associated with Hyundai’s dealership operations is 2.5.

Hyundai creates and supports thousands of jobs across the U.S. Headquartered in Fountain Valley, California, Hyundai’s U.S. footprint currently encompasses four states, with a manufacturing and assembly facility in Alabama, and seven cutting-edge R&D facilities in California, Michigan, and Montana.¹ Hyundai is also building new state-of-the-art manufacturing plants in Georgia as part of its significant investment in the electric vehicle transition.

 

Our dealer network spans 835 locations across all 50 states, extending Hyundai’s reach deep into local communities as well.

 

In 2021 alone, Hyundai’s U.S. capital investments toward existing facilities surpassed $3.2 billion, with 97% of these investments going toward Alabama, California, and Georgia.

Headquartered in Fountain Valley, California, Hyundai’s U.S. operational footprint encompasses four states, with a manufacturing and assembly facility in Alabama, and operates seven cutting-edge R&D facilities in California, Michigan, and Montana. With a dealer network spanning 835 locations across all 50 states, Hyundai’s reach extends deep into local communities as well.

We remain committed to investing in and contributing to the U.S. Last year, Hyundai committed over $10.6 billion in new electrification projects, which will create more than 13,500 new jobs and stimulate an additional 49,300, further accelerating the country’s manufacturing goals.

• In Bryan County, Georgia, Hyundai Motor Group (HMG), which includes Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis operations worldwide, is building a $5.54 billion smart factory, set to be completed in 2025. In partnership with LG Energy Solutions, HMG announced an additional $2 billion investment in August 2023 to further bolster the site’s battery manufacturing capabilities. This cutting-edge facility will propel Hyundai to the forefront of the U.S. auto industry's transition to electric vehicles.
• Combined with HMG’s partnership with lithium-ion battery maker SK On to invest $4-5 billion in a battery manufacturing plant in Bartow County, Georgia, these investments represent one of the largest economic development projects in the state’s history. These projects will also employ an estimated 8,500 people throughout Georgia once complete.
• The cumulative effect of the 2022 investments will lead to the direct creation of 13,500 jobs as well as an additional 49,300 jobs, CAR estimates, through supplier contracts and other economic activities, further stimulating growth and progress throughout the U.S.

Hyundai Motor Group, which includes Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis operations worldwide, announced significant investments of more than $10.6 billion in the U.S. to bolster the EV supply chain in 2022 alone.

 

This includes $5.54 billion for opening a manufacturing plant in Georgia that will produce up to 300,000 EVs each year in partnership with LG Energy Solutions, HMG announced an additional $2 billion investment in August 2023 to further bolster the site’s battery manufacturing capabilities.

 

We also finalized plans for a $4-5 billion battery plant in Georgia, scheduled to go online in 2025, capable of manufacturing enough batteries for 300,000 EVs annually.

In 2023, we are producing 6 (Tucson/Santa Fe/Santa Cruz/Elantra) different models at the plant in Alabama, including the Santa FE HEV and electrified GV70. Commercial production in Georgia will begin 1H 2025 with annual capacity of 300,000 units.

To support the energy transition and make EVs more affordable and accessible, we are utilizing other government incentives for leased and rented EVs and offering competitive pricing options.

 

We are also introducing innovative pricing solutions and incentives, such as complimentary charging with our Electrify America network and bonuses for specific programs like Military, First Responders, and College Graduates. Additionally, we are constantly evaluating the marketplace to ensure our EVs are priced competitively, making them attractive options for customers interested in transitioning to zero-emissions vehicles.

CAR estimates that the cumulative effect of the 2022 EV investments will lead to the direct creation of 13,500 jobs and an additional 49,300 jobs through supplier contracts and other economic activities, further stimulating growth and progress in the region.

 

An additional $2 billion worth of new investments are expected from other players within the automotive industry landscape as a result of Hyundai’s historic commitment to domestic EV production. These new investments will create approximately 4,650 new jobs and demonstrates how Hyundai is stimulating further economic activity.

Hyundai has taken several steps to minimize its carbon footprint and is dedicated to reducing negative environmental impacts throughout its entire value chain.

 

Most immediately, Hyundai is developing and deploying the full range of sustainable powertrain technologies to create a planet-friendly, zero-emission mobility ecosystem. This includes shifting the company’s fleet towards primarily electric options, allowing Hyundai’s projected EV sales to account for 58% of total U.S. vehicle sales by 2030. Hyundai is also increasing the use of eco-friendly materials, reducing air and water pollutants, and utilizing raw materials more efficiently.

Our customers value the exceptional quality and artisanship of our latest models and appreciate that they are engineered with careful consideration for their needs, as evidenced in the recent JD Power results.

 

Our success comes from great products, great strategy, and even more so, the great support from our dealers in Canada, Mexico, and America who provide customers with exceptional buying and ownership experiences.

 

Since its establishment in 2016, Genesis Motor America has also meaningfully contributed to our success in the U.S. market, with a new annual record of 56,410 vehicles sold in 2022 through our joint network of 262 retailers nationwide. Genesis too plays an important role in our electrification strategy, having committed to delivering an all-electric product lineup by 2030.

 

With strong support from our leaders in Korea, we’re on track for success with added investments in North America:

• Over $12.6 billion for EV manufacturing in Georgia and Alabama ─ to strengthen our ability to provide world-class products and innovative technologies for consumers.
• In 2023, we will be producing 6 (Tucson/Santa Fe/Santa Cruz/Elantra) different models at the plant in Alabama, including the Santa FE HEV and electrified GV70.
• We are the world’s first – and only – manufacturer to offer a dedicated hydrogen-powered fuel cell SUV – NEXO.

Our marketing efforts have transformed Hyundai from a brand known only for its affordability. Customers are excited about our brands and are willing to pay more for our vehicles.

Hyundai’s economic activities go hand in hand with our philanthropic efforts. They are part of our pursuit to drive progress for humanity, and we are deeply proud of our contributions to the American economy and to local communities through the work that we do through our dealers’ CSR initiatives. One of Hyundai’s most important corporate social responsibility programs in the U.S. is Hyundai Hope On Wheels (HHOW), which has committed $225 million to pediatric cancer research.

 

Similarly, Genesis Motor America's "Genesis Gives" initiative, launched in 2022, and the Genesis Inspiration Fund, launched in 2018, echo this commitment to social impact. Genesis Gives specifically targets under-resourced communities, aiming to improve access to youth sports and education in fields like technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, and has stood on donations totaling $1.5 million since its inception. The Genesis Inspiration Fund has donated $8 million to organizations focused on connecting youth to the arts, particularly those in under-resourced neighborhoods.

Hyundai Hope On Wheels (HHOW) was founded in 1998 as a non-profit organization dedicated to funding childhood cancer research and raising awareness about the issue. Hyundai, along with its dealers and customers, supports this cause by making donations from each new vehicle sold. In 2022, HHOW reached a milestone, surpassing $200 million in donations for pediatric cancer research in the United States. To mark its 25th anniversary in 2023, HHOW awarded $25 million to support further research efforts, showcasing our sustained commitment to this critical cause.
