Hyundai Accessories & Parts

Korean automaker Hyundai has been impressing audiences around the globe for almost forty years. Hyundai in Korean means "modernity" and the designer quality of their affordable vehicles and auto parts lives up to the name. Founded in 1947 by Chung Ju Yung as an engineering company, Hyundai wouldn't begin manufacturing automobiles for almost two decades due to the Korean government's stance that it would only import cars, not assemble them. But eventually, Yung moved onto the automotive industry and Hyundai began development on a line of cars and car parts. After signing a two-year contract with Ford in the late 60s, Hyundai put out its first sedan, the Cortina, followed by the Japanese-inspired Pony in 1974. It was now only a matter of time before Hyundai models would find their way onto American shores and by 1986, that's exactly what started to happen.

The subcompact Excel was the first car to hit the United States under the Hyundai banner in 1986. The car was an enormous success right from the start due to its efficient drivability and low price tag. Over 100,000 Hyundai Excels were sold in little more than half a year with the final first-year tally finishing in at almost 170,000 units. The Excel was also given the tenth spot on Fortune magazine's Best Product list. The latter part of the decade saw the arrival of the Sonata, a midsize sedan that was Hyundai's first foray into producing its own line of vehicles using in-house technology. However, once the 1990s arrived, car buyers weren't as kind to the brand as they were the previous decade. Sales began to dip despite the company opening up an additional plant in Chennai, India. In 1998, Cung Ju Yung transferred ownership of the brand to his son, Chung Mong Koo. A new emphasis was put on the design and quality of Hyundai vehicles, including an industry-leading 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty for cars sold in the US. These changes helped reignite interest in the Hyundai name across North America, leading the charge into the new millennium.

Starting in 2000, Hyundai began to embark on an remarkable run that has paved the way for the brand's success up to this point. Hyundai's Elantra saw a bevy of improvements, including a hatchback body-style, power locks and windows, side airbags, power steering, a new grille, and new headlights. The Santa Fe, Hyundai's first SUV, arrived in 2001 as a sleekly-styled crossover with both front and four-wheel drive. Hyundai's roster of vehicles was starting to impress again. In 2004, J.D. Power and Associates ranked Hyundai second in initial quality. A couple years later, the Entourage swooped in and grabbed an unexpected piece of the spotlight. As a minivan, the Hyundai Entourage is fashionable and convenient but that's not how it made its mark. The NHTSA gave the Entourage five-stars for safety due to its front, rear, and side impact rating. Even the Santa Fe was awarded as a Top Safety Pick for 2007 by IIHS. Hyundai's most recent highlight has been the Genesis, a full-size luxury sedan. The Hyundai Genesis features an elegant design, V6 power, and an affordable price tag. It was also named the 2009 North American Car of the Year, garnering the model instant attention around the world.

Hyundai's presence in the market is one of rich design, reliability, and competition. Hyundai never backs down, as the brand boasts a dynamic roster of models that have become more and more prominent. Swift style, tasteful design, and unrivaled safety have all become the standard elements in keeping Hyundai successful and the company's subsequent jump in popularity in recent years is a testament to that.
