On Thursday, July 19th, Hyundai of Greensburg was at Children's Hospital of UPMC along with other dealerships in the region to present the hospital with $75,000 as part of Hyundai's Hope on Wheels program. An additional $10,000 was donated to the hospital for the Teen Center.

Hope On Wheels is the united effort of Hyundai Motor America and its more than 800 dealers across the U.S. to raise awareness about childhood cancer and to celebrate the lives of the children battling the disease.
Every time a new Hyundai vehicle is sold in the U.S., Hyundai customers join Hyundai and its dealers in funding important life-saving research through the organization's signature Hyundai Scholar Grant and Hyundai Hope Grant programs. Since its inception 14 years ago, Hope On Wheels has donated more than $45 million to pediatric cancer research at institutions nationwide, and by year-end 2012 will have committed more than $57 million.

A New Three Row Crossover?

Posted by Hyundai of Greensburg on 7:59 AM

Hyundai may be taking on the challenge of creating a large, three row crossover to meet the needs of families. This would be a slight departure from the norm, but we think it will be an excellent addition to the line.

Now that the Hyundai Veracruz crossover is scheduled for departure as the 2013 Santa Fe takes on other three-row crossovers, the Korean automaker may have set its sights on the large, premium crossover segment, a WardsAuto report says.

Hyundai Motor America CEO Jon Krafcik told WardsAuto to “stay tuned for future details on a potential premium crossover,” and called the segment “an intriguing space.”

Although Hyundai spokesman Miles Johnson tells us that he can’t comment on future product, the automaker has expanded the Santa Fe line for 2013, renaming the two-row the Santa Fe Sport and adding a third-row to the extended-wheelbase Santa Fe, so in the short-term, former Veracruz owners will be covered in the Hyundai lineup.

The three-row 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe shares its transverse, 3.3-liter V-6 engine with the front-drive Azera sedan, but the crossover gets the automaker’s new all-wheel-drive system, which can distribute torque to each individual wheel as needed to control understeer or oversteer. It also features a new Driver Selectable Steering Mode system that provides three levels of steering effort adjustment.
