If you’re going to call yourself America’s best warranty, you better be able to back it up. That’s why when the rubber meets the road no other automaker turns in better assurance than Hyundai. It’s true that Hyundai cars and SUVs offer high-quality performance, but what really sets them atop the pack is their superior warranty offers. Read on for a rundown of Hyundai’s award-winning warranty packages. New Hyundai: America’s Best Warranty at a Glance 10-Year / 100,000-Mile Powertrain Protection Some brands can muster up to 70,000 miles on their powertrain protections, but that just doesn’t cut it for Hyundai. That’s why first owners enjoy the benefits of repair and replacement for original powertrain components like the engine, transmission, and transaxle components for up to ten years or 100,000 miles. 5-Year / 60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty Your next Hyundai might not be brand new, but it’s new to you. Hyundai thinks that’s a pretty big deal. That’s why it extends coverage to second and subsequent owners. For up to five years or 60,000 miles, most originally installed components can be replaced. Need your battery changed or inspected? Hyundai has you covered for up to three years with no mileage restrictions. 7-Year / Unlimited Miles Anti-Perforation Warranty Hyundai cars and SUVs are designed to be resilient, but no vehicle is immune to the wears and tears of time. That doesn’t mean you have to wear your rust as a badge of honor, though. The good news is that under this warranty, perforation repair under normal use and maintenance is covered for up to seven years. What could be better than that? Try unlimited miles. 12-Month / 12,000-Mile Parts and Accessory Limited Warranty You should spend your first year as an owner living it up in your new Hyundai, not worrying about a brush of bad luck. Lucky for you, this warranty guarantees the repair or replacement of any Hyundai Genuine Replacement Parts or Accessories for up to 12 months or 12,000 miles. 8-Year / 80,000-Mile Federal Emission and Performance Warranty Nothing should hold you back from the road — especially not a failed emissions test. Under this program, your new Hyundai comes with coverage for the repair and replacement of the Catalytic Converter, Engine Control Module, and Onboard Emissions Diagnostic Device for up to eight years or 80,000 miles. It sounds like Hyundai has done its homework. Opt for an Unbeatable Warranty in Madison, WI Now that you’re an expert on America’s best warranty, you need one of America’s best cars.

Earning a driver’s license is a huge milestone — but it’s only half the battle. Few decisions are as important as the one you’ll make when choosing the right vehicle for your first-time driver. You want something that’s as cost-effective as it is safe and reliable. You also want something that’s going to give your young driver an enjoyable experience. So, the ever-popular car-buying question arises: should I buy a sedan or an SUV? At Zimbrick Hyundai West, you’ll drive away with a quality that surpasses the competition no matter which direction you go. It’s true that SUVs are trendy. But for a driver who’s just getting used to the road, a sedan may be a more practical option. Whether your preferences lean toward the dependable Accent or the efficient Ioniq, we’ve got a car to suit your needs. Here's a handful of reasons why a sedan might be a better fit for your first-time driver. Why a Sedan is a Safe Bet for New Drivers Sedans are safer than ever Mistakes happen no matter how long you’ve been driving. That’s why it’s important to choose a car that’s prepared for whatever the road might hold. The belief that smaller cars are unsafe is a myth and thanks to improved vehicle designs, sedans are safer than they’ve ever been before. Need proof? The Sonata and Elantra were both 2017 IIHS Top Safety Picks. Superior gas mileage While the fuel economy for most SUVs has improved in recent years, sedans still typically provide the most bang for the buck. As such, the total cost of owning a car is typically cheaper than owning an SUV, which makes sedans an ideal choice for moms and dads saving up to send their kids to college down the road. Smoother drive quality Young drivers are on the go a lot. Lucky for you, when you opt for a sedan over a larger vehicle, your first-time driver will reap the benefits. Not only do sedans provide smoother handling and optimal maneuverability, but more and more sedans are offering all-wheel drive options — making them excellent vehicles for tricky road conditions. More comfortable ride Getting used to driving is exciting, but it can also be stressful. That’s why it’s a good thing that a sedan provides the ride comfort that few trucks or SUVs can equal. With a car from Zimbrick Hyundai West, your first-time driver and their passengers will experience a more comfortable ride — whether it’s to school or to the movies. Better cargo security It’s true that SUVs are larger vehicles than sedans. But that doesn’t always translate to more space and cargo versatility. With a sedan, you can secure items more easily than you would be able to in the open cargo hold of an SUV, which is good news for the books, bags, and sports equipment of your rookie driver.
