When considering the factory price of a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, it’s essential to look beyond just the sticker price. Hyundai offers a program called “Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance” (HCM) for new vehicles, potentially adding value to your purchase. Let’s delve into what this program includes and how it benefits owners of the 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid.
Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance: What’s Covered?
For new 2020 to 2025 Hyundai models, including the 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid, Hyundai provides complimentary maintenance for a certain period. Specifically for 2025 models, this includes a total of four basic maintenance services within the first 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. For 2020-2024 models, the coverage also lasts for 3 years or 36,000 miles, focusing on normal factory scheduled maintenance intervals.
This complimentary service package generally covers essential maintenance tasks. For both 2020-2024 and 2025 model years, this includes Hyundai-approved oil and oil filter changes (crucially, this excludes electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles, but applies to the hybrid Santa Fe). Tire rotations are also part of the complimentary maintenance, ensuring even tire wear and extending tire life. Additionally, a Multi-Point Inspection is included, allowing Hyundai technicians to assess the overall health of your vehicle during these service visits.
Important Terms and Exclusions
It’s important to understand the terms and limitations of the Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance program. The services must be performed at authorized Hyundai servicing dealers. The program is for normal maintenance schedules; more frequent maintenance due to severe driving conditions is not covered. Items subject to normal wear and tear, such as air filters, cabin filters, wiper blades, and brake pads are also excluded. Furthermore, services listed as “inspect” in the owner’s manual, unless they are part of the Multi-Point Inspection within the covered services (oil change and tire rotation), are not complimentary.
The HCM program is offered to the original owner and is not transferable, except between spouses. Commercial, used, certified pre-owned, and fleet vehicles are not eligible. However, professional use, like for realtors or outside sales, is permitted. Remember, this program adds value by reducing your out-of-pocket expenses for routine maintenance during the initial years of ownership of your 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid, effectively enhancing the value proposition of the factory price.
Disclaimer: Always consult your Hyundai dealer for the most accurate and up-to-date details regarding the Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance program and its applicability to your 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid, as terms can vary and are subject to change by Hyundai Motor America.
