Hyundai car owners are getting a good resale value, says HSDM

KUALA LUMPUR:  With the growing market share in the global market and the achievement of a series of awards, Hyundai is getting more popular in the pre-owned cars segment. The official distributor of Hyundai cars in Malaysia, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors, has observed the increase in the resale value of Hyundai models and the rise in their demand over the last five years. 

As per the company’s managing director, Low Yuan Lung, the perception of the substantially lower resale value of Hyundai cars is not accurate as the Hyundai car owners are now getting a good resale value that is competitive with Japanese models.

“The difference in the selling price of a 5-year-old Hyundai model in comparison with the likes of a Japanese model is marginal. The same goes for the depreciation value of both makes after 5 years which is about 10 percent per year,” he said

“Hyundai has come a long way to prove itself to be a reliable car brand that is of superior quality. Hyundai models today are not just good looking, but they are also equipped with the latest innovation that is at par with premium continental brands, which is why they are in demand,” he added.

Earlier this year, HSDM launched a dedicated used car programme, Hyundai Promise, which assures the owners that all pre-owned Hyundai cars sold under this come with genuine parts and are major accident-free. The technicians of the company undertake stringent and rigorous inspections before approving the cars for resale.

All approved and certified pre-owned Hyundai cars come with 

• An extended warranty of between two to five years depending on the clocked-in mileage and vehicle’s age 
• A free service maintenance package (available on selected units)
• 24-hour road assistance service
