Hyundai removes the midlevel SE trim from the Azerafor 2008 and gains more standard features. The Santa Fe SE trim now features premium cloth seats, and a power tilt-and-slide sunroof and upgraded audio system are standard on the Limited trim. The Tucsonis a carryover from 2007 with the addition of a new active head restraints safety feature. The Veracruz adds to its list of standard equipment on its highest trim and offers an optional navigation.
Hyundai tends to offer fairly generous discounts. These include rebates, special APR rates, lease deals and incentives for return buyers.
Hyundai vehicles have been well recognized for their safety. The automaker’s newest offering, the Entourage, has received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) "Top Safety Pick Gold" award. Meanwhile, The Azera got top ratings from the IIHS for frontal offset tests, and the Sonata and Tucson both got 5-star ratings for front and side-impact crash test results from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In addition, the quality of Hyundai vehicles is no longer really a major issue — the Sonata recently was recognized as one of the top entry midsize cars in the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study. And perhaps as a sign that Hyundai has become fully immersed in the U.S., in 2006, the automaker announced that it has become the first official sponsor of Triple-A Baseball.
