Hyundai is the first and only automotive brand to provide all these features to new car purchasers with no “trial period” or recurring subscription fees. Bluelink+ is a best-in-class complimentary connected car program. With this program Hyundai is providing its customers more than $350 in estimated annual savings.
“Bluelink+ is part of our commitment to being a technology leader,” said Manish Mehrotra, vice president, digital business planning and connected operations, Hyundai Motor North America. “Other automakers follow a traditional subscription model and have monthly fees for most of these safety and convenience features. Hyundai is once again leading the industry by standardizing technologies that enhance the customer experience.”
All Bluelink+ services are offered complimentary with the purchase of a new Hyundai vehicle, the first year of ownership for certified pre-owned, and the first three months for used car owners. Key safety and maintenance features, previously included in the Connected Care Package, are now part of Bluelink+ Basic, which will be available for subsequent owners to connect with no associated fees. That means essential key safety and maintenance features, such as, Auto Collision Assistance, SOS Assistance, Remote Diagnostics, Maintenance Reminders, and over-the-air ECU Updates, are available with no trial period, and for the life of the supporting technology and 4G LTE network.
