Have you been thinking, even a little bit, about buying a 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid? You have, haven’t you? It’s reasonable, what with Hyundai’s Hybrid Blue Drive technology and its state of the art lithium polymer battery pack. But you’ve been scared off by the recent Volt debacle and the questions of electric battery durability, right?
Who’s to blame you? There’s just so many more people with normal batteries, and they always need to be changed (usually at the most inopportune of moments, like after shoveling your car out of a mountain of snow, following a blizzard and needing to go buy milk or cigarettes, because milk and cigarettes are perfect complements). Aren’t those fancy new lithium polymer batteries way more expensive, too?
Yes, but Hyundai has eliminated the possibility* of forking out your own cash for a defunct battery. With the Hyundai Lifetime Hybrid Battery Replacement Guarantee, Hyundai will replace the battery and swallow the hook on recycling charges if the lithium polymer battery fails on all U.S. 2012 Sonatas. It’s one of those there sweeteners them in the auto industry throw consumer’s ways when they want us to buy new cars.
Which, if you need to (that is, buy a new car) you can accomplish here with CarWoo.
Now it’s time for the matter of the asterisk from above*, or what we consumers refer to as “what makes the sweeteners less sweet”. The replacement program is non-transferrable from the original owner. If you buy it used…the replacement’s on you, pal.
