Four Reasons to Buy a Hyundai Over a Kia

When car buyers start shopping for their next vehicle, we’re often asked, “Is Hyundai better than Kia?” At Maple Hill Automotive, we believe that Hyundai stands apart from its competition, including Kia, for its wide array of cars and SUVs, safety, forward-thinking technology, style, and value.

We know our customers have many options, so here are four reasons why we recommend buying a Hyundai over a Kia.

 

With demand for electric vehicles more robust than ever, Maple Hill Automotive is proud to offer the largest selection of EVs in West Michigan. With a wide selection of the latest hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric models from Volvo, Hyundai, Genesis, Subaru, Audi, and Volkswagen, Maple Hill Automotive is the top “green” dealer in the Kalamazoo area.

Car buyers want to reduce their environmental footprint and save on gas costs, so EVs are an appealing option. Auto manufacturers are racing to expand their lineups with electrified sedans, SUVs, and crossovers.

Volvo is shaking up the car industry with its latest electric vehicle. The all-new 2023 EX90 combines Volvo’s classic safety and comfort with electric technology that’s sure to impress all drivers. The full-size SUV offers spacious seating for seven and leading mileage and battery life. 

 

 

For sports car enthusiasts, Subaru has three new performance models sure to impress any driver. Subaru’s all-new 2022 BRZ, 2021 WRX and 2021 WRZ STI vehicles boast powerful engines, innovative designs, the latest in safety and technology, and satisfy that need for speed.

After years of waiting, Hyundai’s pickup truck is getting ready to hit the road. The Korean carmaker’s first-ever pickup truck, the Santa Cruz, is expected to be available for sale in late 2021 or early 2022.

The sleek, luxurious look Hyundai debuted in the Palisade is now in the 2021 Santa Fe. Many are saying it's a Palisade minus the third row and $4,000. 

Allow us to brag a little bit: Hyundai’s all-new, redesigned 2021 Elantra sedan was named the 2021 North American Car of the Year. This is the second time that the Elantra has earned this prestigious award (the first time was in 2012), and the Elantra is just the third vehicle ever to win the award twice.

The IIHS safety picks are in and, unsurprisingly, the 2020 Hyundai Palisade is the top safety pick for midsize/ four-door SUV! The new family-sized SUV has made great strides in keeping everyone safe, from state of the art crash avoidance to a great body design that saves lives during inevitable crashes, it's one of the safest cars on the road.

Volvo’s New S60 Sedan is Made in America

 

For its first American-built car, Volvo is rolling out a new sedan loaded with the latest features. Volvo’s 2019 S60 is a sleek, turbo-charged four-door sedan manufactured entirely at the company’s new Charleston, S.C. plant.

 

The S60 is Volvo’s answer to other smaller, luxury sedans from Audi, BMW and Mercedes, and offers all the latest technology, safety and entertainment upgrades to compete in that class. Available in four models, the S60 is available with powerful and efficient engines -- and even a plug-in hybrid model.
