Established in 1967, the Hyundai Motor Company unveiled its first car, the Cortina, in its native South Korea a year later. Although another 19 years passed before Hyundai arrived in the U.S., its long overdue arrival didn't go unnoticed. After Hyundai set a new sales record for a first-year import by putting 168,882 Excels on the streets, Fortune magazine named the economy car one of 10 Best Products of 1986. The following year saw the introduction of the Hyundai Sonata, which came to symbolize the growing force in the automotive industry and is still in production today
Once known more for affordability than quality, the Hyundai Motor Company’s new fleet of first-class vehicles earned it a spot among the major players in the industry. The accolades should come as no surprise, considering nearly every model that rolls off the Hyundai assembly line these days proves to be an award winner. Hyundai’s current lineup features six sedans, four SUVs and minivans, and two coupes, all of which have been praised for their state-of-the-art safety features, easy handling, unsurpassed gas mileage, stalwart construction and affordable prices
