Hyundai’s generous donation to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) will be used to start new research in the hopes of finding a cure for pediatric cancer. CHOC Children’s will name its cancer center the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children’s.

“For more than a decade, the cure rate for pediatric cancer has been stalled at about 80 percent. This research will focus on discovering cures for the remaining 20 percent by finding pathways of corrupted cells—or targeted genomic sequencing—and identifying specific drugs to attack cancer cells. The research will also identify individual genetic pathways to assess risk factors in survivors who may be susceptible to other cancers and diseases.”

Hyundai expresses their excitement in working with CHOC Children’s. “We’ve found an incredible partner with CHOC Children’s, where breakthrough genomic research and individualized clinical care will move us closer to a world where no child dies of cancer,” said John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America.

“Hyundai’s generous gift also supports the $125 million ‘Change CHOC, Change the World campaign,’” states Kim Cripe, president and CEO, CHOC Children’s.

Virginia Beach Dealer Supports Hyundai Cancer Institute

The multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary Hyundai Cancer Institute will help physicians and patients choose the disease management approaches likely to work best for the patient. The Hyundai gift will provide the following:

• Develop a clinical research center for pediatric cancer, focused on the 20 percent of patients for whom traditional therapy is not working.
• Use CHOC Children’s approach as a Phase I pediatric cancer clinical trial center to provide the most cutting-edge treatment options.
• Develop a predictive model to understand the risk of future disease in the survivors of pediatric cancer.
• Develop strategic collaboration with academic researchers, genomic medicine technology industry leaders, biotechnology firms and pharmaceutical companies to bring the next generation of medicines to pediatric cancer patients.

“Nearly 900 medicines are in development for cancer treatment. Identifying the specific one that works on a child’s disease is the challenge,” explains Dr. Leonard Sender, M.D., medical director of the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children’s. “This generous gift will help CHOC use the latest basic genomic science and translate it to our patients at the bedside.”

Your Hyundai dealer in Virginia Beach fully supports the cause. “Every one of Hyundai’s over 800 dealers are committed to finding a cure,” said Oscar Leeser, Chairman of the Hyundai Hope on Wheels Foundation and dealer owner of Hyundai of El Paso in El Paso, Texas. “This significant investment is our unified way of drawing a line in the sand against this terrible disease. No child should have to hear they have cancer.”

For more information on this Institute or on our 2011 Hyundai cars for sale in Virginia Beach, call Checkered Flag Hyundai at 757-273-7906 to speak to a Hyundai representative.

Virginia Beach Hyundai shoppers can experience all that is new with the 2011 model year including a sophisticated fluid design, advanced safety features and impressive fuel economy.  In terms of appearance, the 2011 Elantra is an evolution of the design qualities found in highly acclaimed Sonata.  Along Elantra’s sides are Sonata’s flowing lines, with the addition of a strong undercut feature line starting at the front door.

These lines, along with muscular wheel arches and a sleek roofline, create a memorable and spacious package. Flowing lines also lead to an aerodynamic body.  Hyundai Elantra shoppers will be impressed with the estimated 40 MPG that the Elantra achieves on the highway.  The 2011 Elantra is more fuel-efficient than the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.

Virginia Beach Elantra For Sale

Fuel efficiency makes the 2011 Hyundai Elantra, available for Virginia Beach Hyundai shoppers, an obvious choice for longer travels and highway driving, but there are plenty of other reasons why Hyundai shoppers of all lifestyles will appreciate the new Elantra.  Inside, the 2011 Elantra is spacious, providing class-above mid-size car interior volume, touch-screen navigation with rearview camera and iPod®/USB inputs, Bluetooth® hands-free phone system with voice recognition, and heated rear seats (a segment first).

As part of Hyundai’s assurance commitment, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra, available at Checkered Flag Hyundai, is packed with advanced safety features, most notably, Vehicle Stability Management (VSM).  Similar to the one found in the Hyundai Equus, VSM optimally manages ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and the Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS).

VSM works to control two effects.  The first is when a driver accelerates or brakes on a split-mu surface (slippery on one side, dry pavement on the other) and the vehicle wants to pull in one direction.  VSM detects this condition and sends a signal to the MDPS to apply steering assist.  VSM counters the pull and automatically provides 8 Newton meters of counter steering.  VSM reacts the same way during sudden lane changes or fast cornering. ESC is still not standard on the 2011 model year Civic.

Shoppers who would like to learn more about the latest addition to the Hyundai lineup can find out more by calling Checkered Flag Hyundai at 757-273-7906 or by visiting http://hyundai.checkeredflag.com.

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.”

Virginia Beach Hyundai shoppers can call 757-273-7906 to speak with a Checkered Flag Hyundai representative for more information on our new Hyundai cars for sale in Virginia Beach.

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.

Fuel efficiency makes the 2011 Hyundai Elantra an obvious choice for longer travels and highway driving, but there are plenty of other reasons why VA Hyundai shoppers of all lifestyles will appreciate the new Elantra.  Inside, the all-new Elantra is spacious, providing class-above mid-size car interior volume, touch-screen navigation with rearview camera and iPod®/USB inputs, Bluetooh® hands-free phone system with voice recognition, and heated rear seats (a segment first).

All-New Hyundai Elantra Is Available at Virginia Hyundai Dealer

As part of Hyundai’s assurance commitment, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra is packed with advanced safety features, most notably, Vehicle Stability Management (VSM). Similar to the one found in the Hyundai Equus, VSM optimally manages ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and the Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS).

VSM works to control two effects. The first is when a driver accelerates or brakes on a split-mu surface (slippery on one side, dry pavement on the other) and the vehicle wants to pull in one direction. VSM detects this condition and sends a signal to the MDPS to apply steering assist. VSM counters the pull and automatically provides 8 Newton meters of counter steering. VSM reacts the same way during sudden lane changes or fast cornering. ESC is still not standard on the 2011 model year Civic.

In recent years Hyundai has been challenging Nissan for third place in American sales.  Hyundai has finally gotten enough sales to be competitive and it will be interesting to watch if Hyundai can get ahead.

“The latest Kelley Blue Book Market Intelligence findings show how the deck is being reshuffled in the automotive marketplace, with certain brands now holding places in consumer perception that we may not have believed just one or two years ago,” said James Bell, executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com, who specifically noted that “Hyundai is truly on a roll.”

One of the most impressive attributes of the Hyundai line up is the impeccable fuel efficiency.  Hyundai has made a new goal for the line up of vehicles they produce; the combined average across the board of the vehicle line up will be 50mpgs.  Talk about saving at the pump!  Hyundai’s dedication to affordability and value is at an entirely new level.

“We’re committed to setting the pace in this industry on fuel economy, and we’re inspired by the possibilities that our advanced Blue Drive technologies afford,” said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America president and CEO. “Getting to 50 mpg and beyond seems like a huge leap, but by making this commitment and aligning our R&D initiatives now, we know we can get there.”

Vehicles such as the 2011 Hyundai Sonata already get up to 35-highway mpg so vehicles that can attain 50mpgs are in reach.  In addition, Hyundai’s Hybrid has come to the US and has a lithium plymer battery pack to allow for 39 mpg on the highway.  Hyundai is looking to save you money while at the same time being environmentally conscious.

With September being National Childhood Cancer Awareness month your Virginia Beach Hyundai dealership will be contributing to the $6.8 million that is raised for Hyundai Hope on Wheels to help children fight cancer. Hyundai is handing out “hope grants” to various hospitals and non-profit organizations in effort to fund cancer research. Over 800 Hyundai dealerships from across the country are participating in the event that donates $5 to the fund with every car that is sold. This organization has been helping fight cancer since 1998 when it was founded and the 2010 year will bring the grand total to $28 million in donations for cancer research.

The grants are hand delivered to the various hospitals and non-profit organizations in amounts of $100,000 each. In addition to Hope on Wheels touring the country to give out grants, a “Handprint Ceremony” is held at each stop along the way in which the children patients can make a colorful handprint on a white Hyundai Santa Fe to show how they are in the fight against cancer.

The Hyundai Hope on Wheels website goes on to explain, “Why handprints? Because there’s nothing more personal than a handprint – and the goal of the Hope on Wheels Tour is to share the personal triumphs of each of these children with other childhood cancer patients and their families across the country. Whether it’s completing a round of chemo, celebrating a beautiful new head of hair or receiving a clean bill of health, one childhood cancer patient’s milestone can be another’s symbol of hope.”

President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America, John Krafcik, explains the development of the organization, “While we’ve made progress over the last few decades and now have an 85 percent cure rate, cancer still takes more lives than any other childhood disease…We love taking on big challenges at Hyundai, and we can think of no more worthy challenge than finding a cure for all forms of pediatric cancer.”

To find out more about this incredible organization you can go to http://www.hyundaihopeonwheels.org. You can also Find Hope on Wheels on Facebook and follow it on Twitter at @hopeonwheels.

Additional enhancements to the Azera include the customer’s choice of 3.3-liter or 3.8-liter DOHC Lambda V6 engine with improved power and fuel economy, EZ Lane Change Assist, all-new, in-house six-speed automatic transmission and more.

Virginia Beach Hyundai shoppers can see the 2011 Hyundai Azera online.

All of these upgrades help illustrate why more and more Virginia Beach shoppers are discovering how well Azera stacks up against the competition. Overall, the 2011 Azera is a strong competitor to vehicles like the Lexus ES350, Toyota Avalon, Nissan Maxima, Buick LaCrosse and Ford Taurus. Spacious and luxurious, the Azera features more interior volume than expensive luxury sedans such as the Mercedes Benz E-Class, BMW 750i and Lexus LS 460.  Both Azera powertrains still offer more standard horsepower than the BMW 528i demonstrating that Azera is one of the smartest premium large-sedan choices available in the American market today.

Current National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulations require automakers to achieve a CAFE rating of 35.5 mpg by 2016.  Even before those rules were put in place last year, Hyundai had already announced its own plans to reach 35 mpg by 2015, a year ahead of the national goal.

Hyundai’s announcement of the longer-term goal of delivering a minimum 50 mpg CAFE rating by 2025 is consistent with its philosophy of setting updated objectives that align resources, challenge team members and please consumers and the general public.

“We’re committed to setting the pace in this industry on fuel economy, and we’re inspired by the possibilities that our advanced Blue Drive technologies afford,” said John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America president and CEO. “Getting to 50 mpg and beyond seems like a huge leap, but by making this commitment and aligning our R&D initiatives now, we know we can get there.”

2011 Hyundai Sonata

Hyundai has proven that customers will embrace high-quality, stylish products offering good fuel economy. The all-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata is the first mid-size family sedan to exclusively offer only 4-cylinder engines.  Sonata achieves an EPA highway rating of 35 mpg, yet leads its competitors in power output through the use of advanced gasoline direct injection (GDI).

Sonata’s sales were up 48 percent in the first half of 2010, with its transaction prices and residual values now exceeding those of most of its mid-size competitors. The Sonata and its 2.4-liter Theta II GDI engine are built at the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing plant in Alabama.

“This is our simple formula for success in the automobile industry,” said Krafcik. “Rather than fighting fuel economy regulation, we encourage our Hyundai engineers to deliver more fuel efficiency, faster, accelerating the benefits to our customers, society, and the planet.”

Since becoming the fuel economy leader in the 2008 model year, Hyundai Motor America’s market share has grown more than 50 percent. This is a strong indication of public acceptance.

Virginia Beach Hyundai shoppers who would like to learn more about the most fuel-efficient Hyundai vehicles can visit Checkered Flag Hyundai on Virginia Beach Blvd.

The Elantra Touring is a five door hatchback version of the Elantra sedan, and although this car is based off a sedan, it shares the characteristics of SUVs and crossovers that drivers love, such as more space for your passengers and cargo.  Passengers won’t be fighting for the front seat, as back seats offer more legroom than midsize sedans.  The large rear also lends itself to great travel: the rear seats feature a 60/40 split and fold down fully and the molded-plastic rear floor folds up to reveal a padded, segmented storage area.

Unlike crossover vehicles and SUVs, the Touring is an affordable drive.  The base model, though fully equipped with power windows and locks, cruise control and other perks, starts at under $16,000.  Touring models with more features, such as a power moonroof, heated seats and an integrated satellite-ready radio, are still under $20,000 and remain affordable.  The Touring also boasts a better fuel economy than larger vehicles, achieving an average of 29 mpg.  The Touring has a 2.0-liter, 138 hp four-banger, which is the same as the sedan.

Vehicles were judged as “Good” had to pass a frontal offset crash test, side impact test, rear crash protection/head restraint rating and rollover roof strength test. To pass the roof strength testing, vehicles had to withstand a force equal to at least 4 times the vehicle’s weight.  The current federal standard is 1.5 times weight.

As a final consideration, an IIHS “Top Safety Pick,” vehicles must also feature Electronic Stability Control (ESC)—a safety feature that has been standard on Tucson since the fall of 2004. This year, Hyundai has continued to improve the safety package on the Tucson, debuting new standard technologies such as Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and Hillstart Assist Control (HAC).

The Equus rides on a 5-link suspension (front and rear) featuring lightweight aluminum control arms while Hyundai has worked in partnership with ZF-SACHS to develop an air-suspension that is electronically governed to minimize body roll, nose-diving and other undesirable characteristics.

Other notable highlights include the standard Vehicle Stability Management which integrates the Lane Departure Warning System, Pre-Safety System, Third Generation Smart Cruise Control (SCC) and other sub-systems, as well as the addition of a Knee Air Bag for the driver that brings the total airbag count to nine.

Hyundai says the price of the 2011 Equus should start at $50-$60,000 and the vehicle will be extremely well-equipped, meaning the Equus would undercut prices on comparable competitor vehicles.

Equus is Latin for “horse,” and this new Hyundai will run with the best of them.

In its inaugural $25,000 Family Sedan Shootout, Cars.com took eight popular sedans, six automotive journalists, a family four and three days to determine: What’s the best family sedan you can buy for $25,000 or less? Experts from Cars.com, USA Today and “MotorWeek” tested midsize sedans costing less than $25,000 head-to-head to help car buyers sift through options in the competitive family sedan market. The redesigned 2011 Hyundai Sonata took the title, earning points for both value and styling.

Vehicles were tested the way average families would drive them. The cars were put through a mileage challenge and two days of real-life road tests to choose a winner. Each car was scored from 1-10 in 10 categories, with a maximum score of 1,000 points.

“We wanted to put these cars through real-life tests that measure what’s most important to family drivers,” said Patrick Olsen, Cars.com editor-in-chief. “We looked to see how easy it was to install car seats, we filled the trunks with groceries, and as any parent can relate to, we drove all around town.  Having participation from a family of four that is actually in the market to buy a car helped ensure that we kept our focus on the features that are most important in this segment.”

Vehicles tested in the Cars.com $25,000 Family Sedan Shootout include the 2010 Ford Fusion, 2010 Chevrolet Malibu, 2010 Nissan Altima, 2010 Honda Accord, 2010 Mazda6, 2010 Suzuki Kizashi, 2010 Toyota Camry and the 2011 Hyundai Sonata.

2010 $25,000 Family Sedan Shootout Results

8. 2010 Ford Fusion — 669 points: It’s clear that reviewers got a great first vibe from the Fusion, but the more time they spent in the car, the less they came to enjoy it.

7. 2010 Chevrolet Malibu — 697 points: The family and the reviewers found the Malibu attractive but lacking in the power department.

6. 2010 Nissan Altima — 711 points: Nissan’s entry also suffered from a lack of enthusiasm.

5. 2010 Honda Accord — 723 points: The Accord is familiar to buyers in this segment: It has long been the No. 2 seller. It’s that benchmark status that our reviewers and family split over.

4. 2010 Mazda6 — 724 points: The Mazda6 won a lot of praise for its looks, both inside and out, as well as for its ginormous trunk. However, it was dinged for not living up to its Zoom-Zoom vow.

3. 2010 Suzuki Kizashi — 731 points: The newest entrant was also the smallest. Despite its size, the Kizashi won fans for its “zippy” handling and peppy drive. And it was the only vehicle with all-wheel drive.

2. 2010 Toyota Camry — 752 points: Here, the leaders start pulling away from the pack. The Camry has been one of the best-selling vehicles (recall issues aside). Despite its troubles, it still won everyone over.

1. 2011 Hyundai Sonata — 794 points: Hyundai had a leg up by having the redesigned Sonata ready for the Shootout. Its striking design won over most, but it was the whole package that earned it the Family Sedan Shootout title.

“This was a close match, but the value of the Sonata catapulted it ahead of the others,” said Olsen. “The $22,745 price tag including navigation along with its modern, upscale looks really impressed the expert judges and the participating test family. The Sonata is something any shopper in this segment must consider.”

The all-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata joins an elite group of motor vehicles as a “Top Safety Pick” of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This award is only given to those vehicles that do a superior job protecting people in front, side, rear and rollover crashes.    Sonata is built from the ground up with safety in mind, with a hot stamped ultra-high-strength steel body structure, advanced airbag technology and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), delivering on Hyundai’s commitment to both active and passive safety technology leadership.

In 2005, the Sonata was the first popular midsize sedan to standardize ESC– once again every 2011 Sonata has lifesaving ESC as standard equipment. This is important because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that ESC results in 35 percent fewer single-vehicle crashes and 30 percent fewer single-vehicle fatalities in passenger cars.

A smart choice for Virginia families, the 2011 Sonata also features a state-of-the-art Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) including Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD).  Sonata features six airbags—including dual front, front seat-mounted side-impact, and front and rear side curtain airbags—along with active front-seat head restraints.   Add to that best-in-class fuel economy at 35 miles per gallon on the highway and the Sonata becomes the car that will serve all aspects of daily life and look good doing so.
