Hyundai Models That Make the Grade
Here are some of the standout Hyundai vehicles that are well-suited for students, commuters, and families preparing for a busy season.
Hyundai Elantra
The Elantra is ideal for students and professionals who need a compact car with efficiency, comfort, and value. Its aerodynamic styling, surprisingly spacious cabin, and excellent fuel economy—up to 5.7L/100 km highway—make it a top choice for daily commuting or campus life.
Inside, the Elantra comes equipped with modern tech, including a touchscreen display, smartphone connectivity, and available wireless charging. It’s a smart, affordable option that doesn’t sacrifice style or convenience.
Hyundai Kona
The Kona brings SUV flexibility to a smaller, more city-friendly footprint. Great for new drivers and busy young professionals, it offers easy maneuverability, a confident driving position, and a cargo-friendly layout that adapts to everyday needs.
Available with all-wheel drive and multiple powertrain choices, the Kona is built for life on the go. Inside, drivers enjoy a digital display, smart infotainment integration, and the advanced safety features you expect from Hyundai.
Hyundai Tucson
The Tucson is a standout for growing families and drivers with full daily schedules. With a refined, upscale interior and generous cargo space, it handles school pickups, weekend activities, and workday commutes with ease.
Available HTRAC™ All-Wheel Drive provides year-round confidence, while intuitive features—like a hands-free smart liftgate, heated seats, and an available 10.25-inch touchscreen—make every drive smoother. It’s a well-rounded SUV that’s ready for a full calendar.
Hyundai Santa Fe
The Hyundai Santa Fe offers two-row midsize SUV capability with a focus on family comfort and everyday flexibility. It provides ample legroom, premium materials, and a smooth, composed ride—perfect for families balancing multiple school schedules, extracurriculars, and road trips.
Drivers benefit from available HTRAC™ AWD, a variety of engine choices (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid options), and advanced safety systems like Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance and Blind-Spot View Monitor. The Santa Fe gives families room to grow without jumping to a full-size SUV.
Hyundai Palisade
The Hyundai Palisade is the ultimate back-to-school hauler for larger families or anyone needing maximum space and sophistication. With seating for up to eight passengers, the Palisade offers incredible flexibility, from carpooling to weekend getaways.
Inside, it features a high-end cabin with available Nappa leather, a dual-pane sunroof, and a wide touchscreen interface that supports multiple users.
