New grad, new ride: Take $400 off your next Hyundai.
Hyundai offers a specialized program for students and recent graduates in Canada and the U.S. that provides a $400 bonus toward the purchase or lease of a brand-new vehicle. This incentive is designed to help qualified individuals transition into their next phase of life with a reliable car, including popular models like the Elantra, Kona, or Tucson.
To qualify, participants must be currently enrolled in or have graduated from an accredited college, university, or nursing school within the last two years (or be within six months of graduation). The bonus is applied directly as a down payment reduction for purchases or toward the amount due at signing for leases, and it must be financed through Hyundai Motor Finance (HMF).
Visit a participating Hyundai dealership or their website to fill out a student discount inquiry form to connect with a financial representative.
Provide a copy of your official diploma or a letter from the registrar’s office confirming your graduation date or current enrollment status.
Submit proof of current employment, such as a recent pay stub or a firm offer letter from a future employer with a start date within 90 days. Select your new Hyundai vehicle and complete the credit application through Hyundai Motor Finance to apply the $400 credit to your contract.
"Wait a day before buying avoid impulse spending."
If you currently own a Hyundai or a competing brand's vehicle, you may be eligible for specific "owner loyalty" or "conquest" cash incentives.
Hyundai provides up to $1,000 in reimbursement for the installation of adaptive equipment (like hand controls or ramps) in a new vehicle.
Hyundai CPO vehicles often come with lower interest rates and extended powertrain warranties that save money on long-term maintenance.
