“Hyundai’s CPO program gives customers an added level of comfort, satisfaction and peace of mind in their vehicle purchase,” said Steve Flood, director, Sales Planning and Retail Operations, Hyundai Motor America. “By selecting a Hyundai CPO vehicle, consumers receive $2,066* of added value over a comparable non-certified used Hyundai. Veloster and Santa Fe are both excellent vehicles offering stylish design and functionality for different lifestyles, and as these awards show, great value.”

The Vincentric Best CPO Value in America awards are vehicle-specific honors that determine the best value certified pre-owned model in each segment. Using a statistical analysis, the company identified the Vincentric Best CPO Value in America winners by measuring which vehicles had lower-than-expected ownership costs given their market segment and price.

Vincentric measures cost of ownership using eight different cost factors: depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. Each CPO vehicle was evaluated in all 50 states plus D.C. assuming each has been driven 15,000 miles per year, with the expectation that they will be driven an additional 15,000 miles per year over the coming five years.

Hyundai’s CPO program benefits include:

10-year/100,000-mile CPO Powertrain Limited Warranty from the original in-service date and zero (0) miles
150-point inspection
10-year/Unlimited Mileage Roadside assistance from the original in-service date
Rental car reimbursement (up to $35/day for up to 10 days per occurrence)
Towing coverage to the nearest Hyundai dealership
Travel breakdown reimbursement (for breakdowns more than 150 miles from home, up to $100 per day, $500 per occurrence)
90-days of no-charge SiriusXM® satellite radio (for vehicles equipped with SiriusXM®)
Complimentary CARFAX® Vehicle History Reports™

*$2,066 represents the national value of benefits included in the purchase of a Hyundai CPO vehicle as compared to a non-certified used Hyundai. Since $2,066 represents an average for all Hyundai CPO vehicles sold nationally, individual value received may vary.
