Hyundai Motor announced on the 2nd that it is officially launching a new service for its certified used cars, providing more transparent and accurate information on vehicle conditions from past to present based on its unique connected car and maintenance data as an automaker. This can be seen as a strategy to differentiate the reliability of certified used cars by leveraging manufacturer capabilities in areas inaccessible to other used car platforms.

The new service was planned to resolve the chronic issue of information asymmetry in the used car market and create an environment where consumers can purchase vehicles with complete peace of mind. Customers can assess the history of their target vehicle from multiple angles based on actual driving data from the connected car service "Bluelink," maintenance records from the official service network, and precise diagnostic data for electric vehicle batteries.

First, Hyundai Motor will newly open access to a "Safe Driving Score" analyzing driving habits over the past 90 days, subject to the previous owner's consent for information use, as well as "Blue Peace of Mind Inspection and Consumable Replacement History" from official service networks such as Blue Hands and Hi-Tech Centers. The Safe Driving Score is calculated by objectively analyzing factors such as rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, and the number of late-night drives, serving as a key indicator for gauging how the previous owner handled and maintained the vehicle.

Along with this, the report function diagnosing the current interior, exterior, and mechanical condition of the vehicle has been significantly enhanced. Utilizing proprietary digital diagnostic equipment, the company meticulously inspects up to 287 items, one of the highest levels in the industry. In particular, for electric vehicle (EV) models, it provides detailed information on cell voltage and temperature deviations, as well as cumulative charging and discharging records, in addition to existing guidance on high-voltage battery state of health (SOH). Hyundai Motor plans to continue building differentiated trust by leveraging its strength as the manufacturer that knows vehicles best.
