This month marks the top sales for Hyundai and Checkered Flag Hyundai, a Virginia Beach Hyundai dealer, has been a contributing dealership.

According to Hyundai, March has been the best month for sales for the company, announces Virginia Beach Hyundai dealer Checkered Flag Hyundai.  The brand’s success can be attributed greatly to the updated Sonata and Elantra.  So far in 2011, Hyundai has been up 28% in sales.

“March was an unbelievably strong month for Hyundai,” said Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai Motor America’s executive vice president of national sales. “Consumer demand was comparable to our previous record-setting month, August 2009, when the high watermark for sales was set with the “Cash for Clunkers” program. With our overall supply of fuel-efficient vehicles improving, and the recent launch of our breakthrough 40-mpg 2011 Elantra, we are poised to sustain our momentum into the strong spring selling season.”

• Total monthly sales up 32 percent; retail volume up 41 percent
• Total first quarter sales up 28 percent; first quarter retail volume up 46 percent
• 28 percent of March vehicle sales deliver 40-mpg highway rating
• Hyundai’s sales-weighted corporate average fuel economy hits an industry-leading, all-time record of 35.8 mpg

Hyundai’s sales don’t lie.  Virginia Beach Hyundai shoppers are thrilled with Hyundai’s pledge to providing great quality vehicles at a reasonable price.

Virginia Beach Hyundai Recognizes 2011 Elantra

Hyundai also just took home a new award with the Hyundai Elantra making the Top Ten Best Interior’s list.

“Proving economy cars ‘ain’t what they used to be,’ the Hyundai Elantra Limited delivers enough flair to suggest the South Korean automaker is finding its own unique interior design language,” said Drew Winter, editor-in-chief, Ward’s AutoWorld. “The instrument panel of the Elantra displays a curvaceous sensuality, with a belt drawn tightly around the climate controls; the center console then widens as it flows down to the gear shifter.”

The cars are ranked according to a score sheet that accounts for materials, safety, human-machine interface, comfort, and much more.  Hyundai’s 2011 Elantra combines safety, affordability and excellent design, three features Virginia Beach Hyundai shoppers are looking for in a new car.

“The sophisticated interior of the Elantra is designed to bring new life to the compact car segment combined with the ultimate in functionality for the driver,” said Chris Zarlenga, design manger, Hyundai America Technical Center. “Being named to Ward’s 10 Best Interiors, alongside vehicles like the Audi A8 and BMW X3 xDrive35i, shows that compact cars can provide an engaging experience as well.”

Features To Please Virginia Hyundai Shoppers

The 2011 Equus is Hyundai’s largest and most luxurious four-door sedan.  Its 385 horsepower, 4.6-liter V8 engine has been named one of Ward’s Ten Best Engines for the past two years.

Technology plays an important role in the Equus.  Preferences can be saved into the car’s integrated memory system, allowing the driver to instantly adjust the seat, steering column and mirrors to his or her liking at the touch of a button.  Built-in XM satellite radio offers over 170 channels to be played over the Equus’s 17 speakers.  The seats in both rows come with the ability to warm, cool or massage all passengers for maximum comfort.  The back row includes a fully functioning refrigerator that can fit about four beverages.  And yes, the owner’s manual is a fully functioning Apple iPad.

The exterior is built for maximum performance.  19-inch chrome alloy wheels with staggered-width performance tires (P245/45R19 in front and P275/40R19 in the rear) not only give the Equus a formidable look, but ensure superior handling.

The Equus delivers Hyundai’s newest safety innovations.  If the vehicle drifts out of a lane without signaling, the Lane Departure Warning System will alert drivers.  Nine airbags are ready to deploy on all parts of the vehicle, including the rear and roof.  Self-leveling rear suspension keeps the vehicle steady on uneven roads.  The 4-wheel disc brakes come with brake assist and ABS.  A Vehicle Stability Management System ensures that all safety features act in harmony with one another.

The Equus offers a forward-view cornering camera. From its vantage point at the top of the grille, the camera provides an extra margin of safety for negotiating tight alleys and parking spaces. The wide-angle image is displayed on the central in-dash navigation screen at low parking speeds, then switches back to the navigation mode at higher driving speeds.
