Schedule Test Drive

Get Up Close & Personal with Your New Hyundai

At some point in every vehicle search, no review, photo gallery, or walkaround video will answer the question. You need to drive it.

If you have been bouncing between three browser tabs trying to decide between a Tucson and Santa Fe, bring that debate with you. We can help you compare what's available with a test drive. At DeMontrond Hyundai, we invite you to schedule a test drive today!

There Are Some Things the Spec Sheet Cannot Answer

A Tucson might have enough cargo capacity on paper, but will your stroller fit without turning it sideways? Can your teenager sit comfortably behind your normal driving position in an Elantra? How much effort does it take to reach the third row of a Palisade? Simply put, some elements and facets can only be reconciled through hands-on experience. Come find out in person with a test drive at DeMontrond Hyundai.

Experience Hyundai’s State-of-the-Art Technology

Touchscreens have gotten big. So have the lists of technology packed into new vehicles. However, not all technology is created equal. Fortunately, Hyundai vehicles feature the latest and most advanced technology. You can also get a first-hand look at Hyundai tech during your test drive.

Spend a few minutes actually using the system in the Hyundai you select. Connect your phone if possible. Find the climate controls. Pull up the navigation system if the vehicle has one. Try the backup camera. Then ask about the driver-assistance equipment on that exact trim.

This is particularly useful when comparing two versions of the same Hyundai. A feature that looked minor in the trim comparison may become something you use immediately once you're behind the wheel.

Compare More Than One Hyundai During Your Visit

Do you need Tucson or Santa Fe? Put them side by side to learn which vehicle is more practical and best meets your needs. During your test drive, you can better understand each vehicle's nuances and how they affect your driving experience.

For example, the Santa Fe's third row immediately changes the conversation for households that need additional seating. The Tucson has a smaller footprint, which you may appreciate the first time you maneuver it through a crowded parking lot.

The same concept applies to trims. If two Elantras are on your list, comparing the cabins and features in person makes it easier to see what the additional money spent on higher trims will actually buy.

You Can Test Drive Used Vehicles

If you're considering a used vehicle, it deserves an even closer look. During your used vehicle test drive, make sure:

• Check the seating surfaces.
• Look through the cargo area.
• Test the controls.

During the drive, listen to how the vehicle sounds and pay attention to the brakes, steering, and ride.

You'll likely discover that your budget stretches differently in the used inventory. Instead of buying a lower-trim new model, a pre-owned model with additional equipment could land in a similar price range. See what is actually available before ruling anything out.

If you plan to trade in your vehicle, your test-drive appointment is a great time to have your current vehicle evaluated. Your trade-in value can change the financing conversation considerably. A vehicle with positive equity offers money you can apply toward the purchase, reducing the amount you need to finance.

DeMontrond Hyundai has an online trade tool if you want to get started before leaving home.
