Your East Brunswick area Hyundai dealer knows the effect that higher gas prices over the summer and the recent economic woes have had on the auto industry. Fewer and fewer SUVs and trucks are being sold, and smaller cars seem to be increasing.
Recently, the Hyundai Manufacturing plant in Alabama changed the ratio of the vehicles it has been making. The plant makes both the midsize crossover SUV, the Hyundai Santa Fe, as well as the midsize sedan, the Sonata. Last month, more than 70% of the vehicles produced at this plant were Sonatas, which is a significant increase.
The Hyundai Santa Fe offers the functionality and the capacity of an SUV with a sportier quality of ride and handling. The Santa Fe features a contemporary look, as well as an upscale interior, and is one of the best vehicles in the midsize crossover SUV range.
The Sonata, on the other hand, is a comfortable midsize sedan. It features plenty of headroom, a rear seat with plenty of space, and interesting styling elements such as the two-tone dashboard and the various trim pieces in metallic shades. The Sonata is also much more economical in terms of cost, and is less expensive than other vehicles in its class.
