South Korean titan Hyundai is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world today, with a huge global market and a vast lineup of vehicles. Over the years, Hyundai has grown in popularity as well as quality, with their current lineup of cars being some of the highest-selling in the market. In fact, not too long ago, the brand was known for simply selling economic boxes on wheels.

However, today, Hyundai has revamped their brand image, and it's now looked at as a futuristic brand that even youngsters aspire to. Even the brand's luxury division, Genesis, has been upping their luxury game, churning out some of the most advanced and good-looking luxury cars today.

At the same time, the Korean car-maker continues making budget-friendly vehicles with remarkable quality, and there are not a lot of reasons to avoid bringing home a Hyundai, whether you're someone with a family or just a driving enthusiast.

Notably, the market trend over the past few years has clearly been favoring big, bulky SUVs. Since that is clearly what customers want, every car-maker worth their salt has begun producing SUVs and improving their existing one. In fact, this trend even led to legendary Italian supercar maker Ferrari succumbing to the demand and coming out with the Purosangue.

Hyundai is no exception. Today, the brand sells plenty of SUVs in their lineup, catering to a varied customer base. From the compact yet impressive Venue, all the way to the 3-row Palisade bathed in luxury, Hyundai's SUV lineup is quite an impressive one today, with very few flaws. With that said, here are 8 reasons why you should definitely consider Hyundai if an SUV purchase is on the cards.

Despite their cool design, youthful vigor and fanciful tech, Hyundai cars are quite affordable today. Take the Venue, for example. The compact SUV runs on a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and churns out 121 horses. Starting at just $19,000, the Venue really is a great SUV and quite friendly on the pocket.

Then comes the 2022 Tucson, which provides great handling, a comfortable ride, and good acceleration with remarkable economy as well. The car doesn't even skimp out on the interiors, and has two adult-sized seat rows with plenty of cargo seats as well. For its price starting at just over $25,000, the Tucson is greatly affordable. In fact, it even received the 2022 Best Compact SUV for the Money award from US News. RELATED: The Hyundai Venue: America's Cheapest SUV

Hyundai seems to have the right formula down when it comes to creating a great family SUV. Before the Palisade, it was the Santa Fe which was the Korean brand's flagship family SUV. In fact, even though the Palisade is now at the top of the hierarchy, the Santa Fe still holds up as a phenomenal family car.

Hyundai's SUVs have enough power to lug kids and adults alike, with the cabins being the stars of the show. With separate climate zones present in their cars, along with great infotainment systems, the SUVs like the Tucson, the Santa Fe, and the Palisade are all good places to be for long family trips. Plus, with the brand going heavy in on the safety tech, you can rest assured that there are plenty of safety features which will keep you and your loved ones safe wherever you go.

If you still want to have the fun of riding around in a big SUV while simultaneously taking care of the environment, Hyundai's SUV lineup offers plenty of hybrid options as well. For those not wishing to weigh their conscience down with gasoline-only engines which devour fuel, there is the Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug-in Hybrid. The Santa Fe too, comes with both Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid trims.

In fact, if the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid or the Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid SUV is on your shortlist, you could even enjoy a federal tax rebate on these vehicles. Depending on where you live, the tax rebates on both these SUVs can go up to $6,500, which could effectively bring the Tucson Plug-in Hybrid under the $30,000 mark, and the Santa Fe Plug-in hybrid around the $34,000 mark.

In the full-electric SUV segment, the Hyundai Kona's name shines bright as a great choice. With its modern interiors, eye-catching design, and reasonable price, the Hyundai Kona EV has proven itself to be a great electric SUV for the average car-buyer. Hyundai proved to the world that they definitely knew what they were doing when it comes to EVs.

The Kona is a proven choice, with a list of standard features that beats out several of its rivals in its segment. Now, looking to the future, the Hyundai Ioniq5 is the brand's new all-electric premium SUV, and if the Kona is any hint, the brand is definitely going to come out with a successful vehicle in the Ioniq 5.

Perhaps the very best choice on the market when it comes to picking a family SUV, Hyundai has a proven winner in the Palisade. A perfect fusion of luxury, comfort, power, and confidence, the three-row Korean SUV sold north of 80,000 units in the last two years, and from what it looks like, those numbers are only going to get better.

Packed to the brim with state-of-the-art safety and luxury features, the Hyundai Palisade has a great cabin to go with its imposing design. Exuding luxury, the car's high-quality materials all-around, as well as the option to make it more capable in off-road scenarios makes it the perfect family SUV both on the road and on the trail.

It wasn't too long ago that Hyundai cars were simply run-of-the-mill commuters that had nothing unique about them to set them apart from the market. Passing by a Hyundai a few years ago wouldn't have made anyone turn around to take note of the car, let alone be admiring it. However, that has all changed, as Hyundai revamped their entire lineup from top to bottom when it comes to the design language.

Going for a youthful, sportier look throughout the lineup, it is the brand's SUVs that have had the most improvement, with great visual design. The new Tucson with its sharp, angular looks is a head-turner, thanks to Hyundai's new grille. Similarly, the Palisade's stance, grille, and overall design all come together to make an SUV that has massive road presence. Furthermore, with the new Ioniq SUV that Hyundai is bringing out, it is clear that the brand is only going to go from strength to strength now, especially when it comes to car design.

Hyundai has definitely seen a sea-change in their brand image over the past few years. The Korean brand is known today for their cars and SUVs being affordable yet great in quality. Part of the reason is how they revamped their entire lineup from the inside out. It wasn't just their cars' designs that the brand has changed, but the entire package. Today, Hyundai SUVs are some of the most feature-rich vehicles on the market out there.

Take the Kona EV, for example. While being an all-electric vehicle, the car manages to pack more features in its standard variant than many of its rivals, which makes the already-great package an even more attractive one. Then come the Tucson, the Santa Fe, and the Palisade, which drive great and feel premium, but most importantly, are packed to the brim with features as well. From infotainment technology, to driver-assistance aids, to overall safety features, Hyundai is not one to skimp out on tech when it comes to their SUVs.

Hyundai has ensured that in a market that is growing ever more cognizant of the effects of burning gas, their SUVs continue to bring in customers.

With great fuel economies on their SUVs, Hyundai makes their vehicles even more alluring. Their new all-electric SUV, the Ioniq5, has a whopping economy of 110 MPGe, while the Tucson Plugin Hybrid and the Santa Fe Plugin Hybrid return 80 MPGe and 76 MPGe respectively. Those are some mighty impressive economy figures for 2022 SUVs, considering that these vehicles are packed with features, luxury, comfort, and engines that will never let you feel sluggish on the road.
