Are Hyundai cars reliable to buy?

For this question, my simple and straightforward answer is "Yes", Hyundai is the most reliable auto brand to buy. Usually people search for reliability factors for products that are costly to purchase including cars, gadgets etc.

If you buy products that are of less investment then you won’t show more interest on reliability factor. And so, there are few reliability parameters to check before purchasing a car. Let us see how Hyundai cars are best in those parameters checklist.

How to Choose a Reliable Vehicle?

One niche term can clearly define the word "Reliability of vehicles" - unplanned failures. What is an unplanned failure? To put it simply, you drive the car and suddenly it gets stuck in the middle of the road due to some issue either in the engine or in transmission or some other vehicle's part. This is called an unplanned car failure. If this happens again and again then that vehicle model is unreliable to purchase. And these complaints can be derived from customer review. The planned maintenance service is common for vehicles of the entire brand. Maybe after 10,000 miles or 15,000 miles, you must change the engine oil. Some faults occur in vehicles due to its age and that is purely normal. But unplanned car failure is the most important reliability factor to consider.

The Throwback of How Hyundai Entered the US Market:

In 1950, the West Germany automakers, Volkswagen entered the US market. Similarly, the Japan automakers entered via Toyota and finally South Korea through Hyundai Motors in 1986. Hyundai Motors concentrated on selling its vehicles in the US by dividing the region into three parts - South, West and East. The automaker concentrated on subsidiaries by getting located in Los Angeles. Secondly, New Jersey and Atlanta have one of Hyundai's headquarters. Via high quality vehicles, more reliability and with excellent services, Hyundai gained reputation in less duration.

Reliability of Hyundai Cars:

Usually, the dependability factor is calculated based on the feedback given by its customers. For Hyundai vehicles, the reviews and feedback were so positive from its users. The survey conducted by one of the consumer newspapers states that Hyundai is one of the most reliable auto brands in the industry. The Hyundai crowns the reliability award from survey results, starting from 2011 till date. The survey conducted by CarMD is based on cars' damage frequency and also the cost it takes to repair the vehicle. The Hyundai stands first in least damage frequency and stands second in damage repair cost.

In general, other car manufacturers offer only 3 years of warranty. But Hyundai stands unique in offering the warranty coverage. This is one of the specialties of the company. It offers 5 years of warranty irrespective of the car's mileage. And from the customers end, this is what they exactly expect from any automakers. This in turn builds confidence among vehicle users that the vehicle will not make any problem for a longer run and certainly worth the money invested. Furthermore, if in case of any problem in the vehicle, it can be serviced at free of cost via warranty coverage. Thus Hyundai Motors is certainly a customer friendly auto manufacturer which also increases its dependability to greater extent.
