Hyundai is probably not the glitziest auto brand on the market, but anyone who drives one of the newest models will tell you that its actual performance greatly exceeds expectations. This South Korean manufacturer has been primarily known for cheaper models in the past, but this is rapidly changing as its new line up manages to be competitive across the entire price spectrum. Still, you won't have to pay as much for a new 2017 Hyundai as you would have to for a similar car produced by a more glamorous brand, which is why so many practical minded consumers are choosing it. 

Let's take a closer look at this year's offer to find out which Hyundai models offer the best chance for significant savings. The class of 2017 consists of several sedans, coupes, hatchbacks and large SUV’s, filling the needs of very different types of drivers and expanding the well-known family of vehicles with improved versions of popular cars:

In essence, Hyundai is keeping the winning concept intact while working to perfect the details that make a huge difference for the user, and the final result is truly remarkable in every sense, from wide diversity of available models to flawless quality of each one.

Accent and Elantra are convenient and affordable cars that combine technical excellence with aerodynamic design, justifying Hyundai’s reputation for simplicity and blue-collar identity. These ‘bread and butter’ models come with plenty of room for passengers that make them ideal for families, while packing solid engines capable of dealing with all kinds of tasks. Both are available in manual transmission or automatic versions, fitting the preference of each driver. Starting under $15.000, vehicles from this group are very cost-effective choices for budget-conscious buyers, explaining why they are so popular.

More demanding customers might be interested in Veloster and Sonata models for the current year. 2017 Veloster is a coupe model with three doors that looks impressive on the road and fits well into tight spaces typical for city driving. Its basic price is just a bit over $18.000, making it affordable for middle class buyers looking for a stylish car. Sonata is somewhat more expensive and can be had for a minimum of around $24.000, but it makes up for the difference with superior features and exquisite looks. This smooth-running sedan can appeal to up-and coming business people as much as to older drivers, thanks to a combination of safety and sophistication that leaves nothing to be desired.

Sports utility vehicles like the elegant yet rugged Tucson and the non-compromising Santa Fe are completing Hyundai’s current offer, providing a high-end option that can go toe to toe with any competitor. Equipped with robust wheel platforms and powerful engines, these beauties will behave just as well on paved roads and off of them. The price range for this class goes from $25.000 – 45.000, depending on the model and the choice of advanced features. Santa Fe XL is the king of the class – it has enough space for seven passengers and can be optioned to include 4-wheel drive.

As you can see, Hyundai is a multidimensional manufacturer that has a lot to offer to everyone. That’s why it would be naive to see it as a low-cost brand or a car for young people only. 2017 line up proves that Hyundai continues to evolve along with the demands of the market, while still staying faithful to the principles of economical development that defined its early years. It’s a great idea to contact your local Hyundai dealership and see if you can get a sweet deal on the model that suits your taste.
