This September marks the 9th year Hyundai has been involved with sponsoring the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk to help raise money and awareness for cancer, World Hyundai reports.

Hyundai is dedicated to the fight against cancer and over the past 9 years have managed to donate more than $1.4 million to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.  Hyundai was recently awarded the “Best Sponsorship Activation” award for their abundant support of the Boston Marathon over the past years, according to Chicago Hyundai dealer World Hyundai.

The marathon is held in September and gives participants the chance to join together with the community to raise money and awareness for the fight against cancer.  The Boston Marathon has been an event for the past 22 years and has been able to donate a collective $73 million to cancer research, reports the Chicago Hyundai experts at World Hyundai.

“The Walk is a wonderful thing for the Boston community, and indeed, for pediatric and adult cancer care and research, as it serves as an inspiration to all on the possibilities of eliminating this disease.  We are especially proud of the steadfast commitment of our New England area dealers to Hope on Wheels from its very inception,” said John Krafcik, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America.

Hyundai employees are avid participants in the marathon with over 100 employees having completed the race.  Sponsorship of the Boston marathon is in conjunction to Hyundai’s other causes such as Hyundai Hope on Wheels and making a donation with every new Hyundai sold. Krafick added that, “we are committed to helping find a cure for cancer, and are proud of our long standing partnership with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.”

Hyundai Contributes to Chicago Community With Fuel-Efficient Cars

The Hyundai Elantra was just awarded the “Most Cost-Effective” and “Most Fuel-Efficient” car by Truecar.com.  The Elantra starts at $14,830 and gets 40 mpg on the highway making the car affordable for Chicago Hyundai families.

“When purchasing a fuel-efficient vehicle, consumers should consider two factors – price and annual cost of fuel,” said Jesse Toprak, vice president of Industry Trends and Insights at TrueCar.com. “If you’re looking for the most cost-effective and fuel-efficient car, the Hyundai Elantra is the clear winner.”

Hyundai strives to make vehicles that are affordable without harming the environment and keeping the cost to maintain reasonably low.

“The all-new Elantra, with its 29 mpg city and 40 mpg highway standard fuel economy rating, is a perfect vehicle for consumers looking for an affordable solution to rising gas prices,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Elantra is at the core of Hyundai’s fuel economy strategy. In February, 20 percent of all Hyundai vehicles sold achieved 40 mpg on the highway thanks in large part to Elantra’s success.”

World Hyundai serving Chicago Hyundai shoppers couldn’t agree more with a recent NY Times article that suggests the Hyundai brand is on its way to rivaling such luxury automakers like BMW and Mercedes.  The Hyundai brand has taken hold in the United States and they have the sales growth to show for it.  In 2009, Hyundai was 1 of only 3 automakers whose sales increased in 2009.

Hyundai Equus Coming this Fall to Chicago Hyundai Dealers

Many Chicago Hyundai shoppers choose Hyundai cars over same class competitors because of Hyundai’s unwavering reliability, commitment to excellence, value quality, and price.  According to Scott Falcone of World Hyundai, the Hyundai brand offers the total package in a price that fits into most lifestyles and budgets.

In the NY Times article, a Chicago-area electrical contractor, is thrilled with his families two Hyundai vehicles and is already eyeing the luxury Equus that is expected to arrive in Chicago Hyundai dealers this month. “This will go head-to-head with the BMWs and Mercedes,” Mr. Harmon said. “If you test-drive all of them with your eyes closed, you’re going to pick the Hyundai.”

Chicago Hyundai Dealers Post Record Sales

The fact that Hyundai has been posting record sales during one of the auto industry’s most difficult periods speaks volumes for the brand.   The Hyundai vehicles are not only affordable and reliable, they are attractive, a key factor for Chicago Hyundai shoppers and one that other automakers have left out of the equation for their price competitive vehicles.

Today’s Chicago Hyundai shoppers aren’t just budget conscious families; they’re luxury care enthusiasts, doctors, lawyers, families, and more.  Hyundai’s 2010 models including the Sonata, Genesis Coupe, Tucson and Santa Fe have helped the brand attract a wider range of buyers ranging from young teens to large families.

The NY Times writes, “…Hyundai and Kia are becoming a serious threat to the Japanese dominance of most passenger car segments,” and World Hyundai in Chicago couldn’t agree more.

Mr. Harmon, the Chicago-area electrical contractor, says, “I don’t care if I pull up next to a Porsche in my Santa Fe, because he spent $110,000 for his, and I spent $30,000 for mine, and I like mine more than his.”
