Common Questions About Buying from Herrnstein Hyundai

Before visiting our showroom, many buyers have questions about vehicle warranties, ownership benefits, and model configurations. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from shoppers.

Q: What is included in the Hyundai factory warranty when I buy a new vehicle?

New vehicles come backed by the comprehensive Hyundai Owner Assurance program, which includes a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited bumper-to-bumper warranty. Additionally, buyers receive 7-year/unlimited-mile anti-perforation corrosion coverage, which is highly beneficial for protecting your vehicle’s undercarriage against winter road salt. You can review the complete terms of this coverage by reading our detailed warranty guide.

Q: How does the roadside assistance program work if I experience an emergency?

Every new purchase includes 5 years of 24-hour emergency roadside support with no mileage limits. This manufacturer-backed program covers towing to the nearest authorized service center, lockout assistance, flat tire changes, battery boosts, and fuel delivery. For immediate assistance, you can contact Hyundai Roadside Assistance: 800-243-7766, or coordinate support directly through our roadside assistance information page.

Q: Can I manage my vehicle’s features and safety settings remotely?

Yes, modern models feature advanced connectivity suites that allow you to lock, unlock, and start your vehicle from your smartphone. You can explore how to set up these remote features through our guide to Hyundai Bluelink technology. To ensure your vehicle’s safety systems and software are completely up to date, you can also use our online tool to perform a quick safety recall check using your vehicle’s VIN.

Q: What are the primary differences between the Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid?

The standard Hyundai Santa Fe features a powerful 2.5L turbocharged engine that is excellent for towing and highway acceleration. If fuel efficiency is your top priority for daily driving, the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid utilizes a turbocharged hybrid powertrain that significantly reduces fuel consumption during stop-and-go driving without sacrificing interior cargo space or passenger comfort.

Q: Which SUV models in the lineup offer all-wheel drive for winter driving?

All-wheel drive is available across our entire SUV lineup, providing excellent traction on snow, mud, and wet pavement. You can find this capable drivetrain on our compact crossover, the Hyundai Kona, as well as the highly versatile Hyundai Tucson.
