History of Hyundai

The Hyundai Group was founded, originally, as a construction company several decades before they began to manufacture Ford models overseas.  In 1967, this family owned business expanded to include Hyundai Motor Company and embarked on an eight year experience experiment by manufacturing Ford cars under contract.  Hyundai unveiled its first model, called the Pony, to the Korean market in 1974.  This vehicle was officially made available for sale early in 1976.  In 1978, Hyundai introduces the first 6-cylinder “western” vehicle, the Granada. 

With a wide variety of interests and divisions, The Hyundai Group is one of the largest and most powerful family-owned businesses in the world.  In 1973, The Hyundai Group held 25 companies, including 10 car design companies in Japan and Italy, four firms in both Japan and the United States for stamping industrial equipment, and 5 forging and casting plants in the United Kingdom and Germany.  They produced engines at two plants in Japan and the U.K., and held 5 interests in the United States and Great Britain that produced integrated and components.  

While the company expanded the car manufacturing branch of their operations, they continued to operate in several other fields, including commercial construction, shipbuilding, offshore engineering, and other interests.  In 1977, The Hyundai Group acquired Gukil Securities and founded Hyundai Securities in their own right.  By 1980, the Hyundai Group had developed more models and established a manufacturing plant in Canada.  

Currently, Hyundai is a powerhouse in the automotive industry, creating a line of vehicles that are both economical and safe.  According to Wall Street 24/7, Hyundai holds the title of the most successful car manufacturer in the U.S., somehow managing to sell new cars to people living in an economy that is less than perfect. Still, the automotive arm of the huge company is only a small fraction of the overall operation.

Hyundai  Accent

The Hyundai Accent was first introduced in 1996 as the Hyundai Excel, and in some foreign markets has been renamed the Verna, however most markets still use the name, Accent.  It is a subcompact design and the current model retails for a suggested price starting at $14, 195.  The car gets a whopping 40 mpg.  The exterior of the current model offers fluid lines and chiseled curves seen on some more expensive vehicles.  It is available in a traditional 4-door model, as well as a 5-door model that incorporates a convenient hatchback. 

The newest Accent has been re engineered with a 1.6L Gamma GDI 4-cylinder engine that delivers 138 horsepower—a significant increase over previous models. Equipped with SHIFTRONIC®, the accent can convert from a 6-speed automatic to a 6-speed manual transmission. Even so, an internal eco-control system will keep fuel efficiency at a level higher than others in its class.
