South Korean automaker Hyundai doesn't monkey around. This company wants to assure its drivers and the entire world that it's serious about creating some of the most reliable vehicles on the market. Recently, the automaker initiated a rather unorthodox form of product testing when it took the new Hyundai i30 hatchback to Knowsley Safari Park, located in Prescot, 200 miles northwest of London, UK, where forty baboons of all shapes and sizes were…

Have you ever heard of unintended acceleration? Though it only affects a small amount of drivers each year, the issue has received a large amount of media attention recently due to a surge in recalls by a certain Japanese automaker. Truth be told, the issue can be very serious if it does occur, so it's best to reduce the risk of it occurring altogether through the use of a brake override system. That's…

A lot of time is spent talking about the exterior design of cars. Walser Hyundai located at 8100 Lakeland Avenue North in Brooklyn Park, MN 55445, however, would argue that it's what's below the surface that really counts. And given their long-standing, best-of engine list and still-novel, best-of interior list, it seems industry-acclaimed auto critic, Ward's would agree.

The list we'd like to focus on today is none other than the…

In a bold move, Hyundai has shuffled around some model names in its lineup. The Hyundai Santa Fe that we know and love will adopt the name Hyundai Santa Fe Sport this summer, while the 2012 Hyundai Veracruz will take the original Hyundai Santa Fe moniker. If the whole thing seems a bit confusing, it's because it is slightly. But the decision was made with consumers' best interest in mind.

How can we know…

The new Hyundai Elantra, currently available at Walser Hyundai located at 8100 Lakeland Avenue North in Brooklyn Park, MN 55445, just scored a perfect, 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). What makes this particularly notable in the safety realm, you ask?

Well, it's not just that it was subject to the is the fact that the vehicle passed the frontal rollover, barrier, and side-pole tests. It's the fact…

Are you a sedan, coupe, or 5-door hatchback kind of car buyer? Sometimes your preference for a particular car type can steer you away from several other impressive vehicles. That's why Hyundai has taken the initiative to appease all of these different types of drivers with one model: the new 2013 version of the Hyundai Elantra. The 2013 Elantra will come in all three of these variations. After all, as Mike O'Brien, Vice…

Wondering if Hyundai is planning to ever add a minivan or a truck to their lineup? The answer is a definitive no. Rather, the South Korean automaker is planning to flush out their lineup in 2013 and beyond with more crossovers (CUVs).

If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Hyundai hasn't been able to transform their brand image and win countless awards over the past couple of years by building large, gas-guzzling…

It seems these days like the 2012 Hyundai Veloster simply cannot stop winning awards. In fact, we here at Walser Hyundai have lost count of the incredible number of accolades that have been bestowed upon the South Korean automaker's all-new, three-door coupe.

And, we're thrilled to announce Hyundai is vowing the hybrid's lithium-ion battery will last the life of the car itself. They're so sure of the Sonata Hybrid battery's performance; they're even going so far as to cover it with a lifetime warranty. Previously the Sonata Hybrid battery was covered with a limited 10-year/100,000-mile…

It probably doesn't come as any surprise that the 2012 Hyundai Veloster has one more accolade to add to the list, as it has already been named as the "Best Economy Car" by Bloomberg, and its 1.6-liter Gamma engine won a spot on the "Wards 10 Best Engines" list. However, the 3-door coupe from Hyundai was recently bestowed with a "GOOD DESIGN" award.
