Should You Buy a New or Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai?

Both a new model and a Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai vehicle can offer compelling advantages, so choosing between them comes down to your priorities. Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai vehicles combine the value of a pre-owned model with an extensive inspection and manufacturer-backed benefits, while a new Hyundai gives you access to the latest available features and full applicable new-vehicle warranty coverage. Henderson Hyundai Superstore compares the two options to help you decide which fits your needs.

Warranty Coverage

New Hyundai vehicles include a 5-year/60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty for the original owner, along with 5 years of unlimited-mile 24/7 Roadside Assistance. Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vehicles include the remainder of the 5-year/60,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile CPO Powertrain Limited Warranty, with coverage measured from the vehicle’s original in-service date and zero miles. Eligible CPO vehicles also include 10-year/unlimited-mile Roadside Assistance from the original in-service date. Coverage is subject to applicable program terms, limitations, and deductibles.

A Carefully Inspected Vehicle History

Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must meet program eligibility requirements and undergo an extensive inspection before certification. Eligible gasoline-powered models receive a 173-point inspection, while electrified vehicles may use a different inspection process. Buyers also receive a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report that provides valuable information about the vehicle’s reported history. A new Hyundai, meanwhile, gives you the advantage of being the vehicle’s first owner, without a previous ownership history to consider.

Access to the Latest Technology

Buying new generally gives you access to Hyundai’s latest available infotainment, connectivity, convenience, and driver-assistive technologies. Depending on the model and trim, newer Hyundai vehicles may offer features such as wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Bluelink+, and Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium, which can allow compatible devices to provide convenient vehicle access. A Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai may offer many of the same technologies depending on its model year and trim, so comparing equipment between individual vehicles can help you decide whether having the newest available features is important to you.

Purchase Price and Value

A Certified Pre-Owned Hyundai can appeal to shoppers who want manufacturer-backed benefits while shopping at a lower price point than a comparable brand-new model. A new Hyundai may cost more, but buyers receive the latest model-year updates and full applicable new-vehicle warranty coverage from the beginning. Comparing the price, mileage, equipment, warranty coverage, and financing options of individual vehicles can help you determine which offers the better value for your budget.
