Memorial Day Deal for Military Members
Hyundai says it’s proud to offer the increased discount. “Hyundai has long been dedicated to helping servicemen and women get into a new vehicle and 13 percent of Hyundai purchases come from military personnel thanks to our consistently strong program,” said Derrick Hatami, vice president of national sales for Hyundai Motor America. “During Memorial Day weekend this year, we are doubling the discount on our CUVs and SUVs for military personnel and that’s in addition to our Better Than Ever Sales event.” That means any active or retired military personnel and their spouse can receive $1,000 toward the purchase of a new Hyundai Tuscon, Santa Fe Sport or Santa Fe. Hyundai’s existing military incentive program of $500 off, meanwhile, will continue to apply to all other Hyundai models. Hyundai is also celebrating Memorial Day by presenting the National Salute to America’s Heroes event in Miami Beach, Florida. “We’re proud to sponsor the National Salute to America’s Heroes and honor everything the military does for our country,” said Dean Evans, CMO of Hyundai Motor America. “Building off the better experience we provided this past Super Bowl, we are looking forward to paying tribute to our military at one of the biggest Memorial Day events in the country.” The main component of the two-day event is the world class Air & Sea Show. It showcases our country’s state of the art military technology. All five branches of the military as well as police, firefighters and first responders will be represented. The event is free and open to the public. It also marks the beginning of an annually produced exhibition of gratitude known as Salute 365. The 365-day initiative is designed to pay tribute, honor and encourage military and first responder heroes through a special network that connects Americans and corporate sponsors to them.Other SUV Deals
