Hyundai used cars

Hyundai is a South Korean car manufacturer that has become increasingly popular in the UK in recent years.  

This is due to a number of factors, including its focus on value for money, reliability and safety. 

History of Hyundai

The Hyundai Motor Company, commonly known as Hyundai, was founded in 1967 by Chung Ju-yung in South Korea. 

Its first car was designed in collaboration with Ford and was called the Cortina, but Hyundai wanted to make its own car, so in 1975, South Korea’s first car was born – the Pony. 

Now, Hyundai is a global megastar, making more than three million cars each year, and it owns a major share in Kia, which has helped both parties grow – particularly in electric vehicle development. 

Standout Hyundai features

Used Hyundai cars are generally well-equipped, even at the entry-level.  

Most Hyundai cars for sale come with standard features such as A/C, electric windows and a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.  

Higher-spec models add features such as heated seats, a panoramic sunroof and an uprated JBL sound system.  

This South Korean brand also has a good reputation for reliability, thanks to excellent build quality and sublime engine design that offers fuel efficiency and decent performance.  

As for safety, most of its models achieved a maximum five-star rating following their most recent Euro NCAP safety tests.  

This means that used Hyundai cars offer excellent protection for occupants in the event of a collision, thanks to equipment such as automatic emergency braking, ISOFIX child points and speed assistance systems. 

Driving a Hyundai

Hyundai used cars are relatively inexpensive to run because they're fuel-efficient and have low insurance premiums.  

Hyundai also offers a five-year warranty with unlimited mileage on all new cars, which can save owners a lot of money on repairs and maintenance for nearly-new examples bought on the used car market. 

You should consider buying a used Hyundai car if you need a reliable family car that can do it all.  

From lugging around the kids’ sports equipment to driving long distances down the motorway to see your parents, there’s nothing these brilliant, dependable cars can’t do. 

Popular used Hyundai cars

There are so many used Hyundai cars for sale that it can get quite overwhelming deciding on your next purchase.

If you fancy an electric option, there’s the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6 and the Kona Electric to consider.
