What makes PerformanceCars a great success is the collection of dedicated auto manufacturers we work with. From our centres for vehicle service in St. Catharines, to our new and used car leasing and financing dealerships that serve the entire Niagara Region including: St. Catharines, Welland, Thorold, Grimsby and Niagara Falls, our lots feature the most popular automotive brands available in North America. We don’t sell cheap cars; we sell affordable cars that are built with precise attention to detail.
How do we back this up?
Our Performance Hyundai dealership carries three vehicles that brought home first place in three separate categories at the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada’s (AJAC) “Test Fest” this year. The Hyundai Accent was chosen as Canada’s “Best New Small Car (Under $21K)”, the Elantra took the prize for “Best New Small Car (Over $21K)”, and the all-new Veloster was selected for “Best New Sports/Performance Car (Under $50K)”.
PerformanceCars is the number one destination for new cars in Niagara because we know our cars inside and out. Here’s a short list to ...
... show you why Hyundai did so well with the AJAC this year.
Hyundai Accent – Best New Small Car (Under $21K)
Starting at $13,199 the Hyundai Accent has outstanding fuel efficiency with 6.7L/100km (city) and 4.9L/100km (highway). You can upgrade the Accent to its fully-loaded trim level, the GLS, for only $4,800 more. The price-tag may lead you to believe that Accent models are “cheap cars” but we assure you they’re not. The Accent GLS has power locks and windows, A/C, cruise control, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, a power sliding sunroof, fog lights and Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System.
Hyundai Elantra – Best New Small Car (Over $21K)
The premium Elantra Limited with Navigation can be yours for only $24,699 and has an equally respectful fuel economy rating of 6.9L/100km (city) and 4.9L/100km (highway). With fully-automatic climate control, heated front and rear leather seats, proximity entry with push-button start, automatic light control and a 7” touch-screen navigation system with a rearview camera, the Elantra is the full package.
Hyundai Veloster – Best New Sports/Performance Car (Under $50K)
One of the most popular new cars in St. Catharines, the Veloster is having an incredible first year. With 138hp and 123lb-ft of torque, the Veloster retains a surprising fuel economy rating of 7.0L/100km (city) and 4.9L/100km (highway) when paired with Hyundai’s first-ever EcoShift Dual-Clutch Transmission. Starting at $18,999, this affordable sports car is equipped with a 7” LCD touchscreen multimedia system with an AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 player, 6 speakers and a rearview camera. Other standard features in the hatchback-coupe include power locks and windows, A/C, heated front seats, proximity entry with push-button start, 4 wheel disc brakes behind 17” alloy wheels, fog lights and a one-of-a-kind, independent, front-hinged third door installed on the passenger side.
At Performance Hyundai, we’re excited to see how these vehicles do at the Canadian International Autoshow in Toronto when the coveted “2012 Canadian Car of the Year” is announced.
