When did the Hyundai 5-year warranty start?

I was thinking about buying a Hyundai, but I always like to learn more about the products I purchase. I’ve read that the warranty from Hyundai was amazing and one of the few in the industry. When did Hyundai introduce its 5-year warranty?

The
Hyundai
5-year/60,000-mile new car or basic warranty began in 1999, making it one of the first companies to offer such a generous bumper-to-bumper warranty.
The reason that Hyundai introduced such a warranty is fairly straightforward. Before 1999, Hyundai had an unsavory reputation for poorly made, unreliable, and undependable cars. As a result, sales started to sputter and Hyundai had to reinvent its image in the United States. Hyundai was able to provide this warranty with new staff, designers, and other boosts to its business, and it remains America’s best warranty to date.
While you may want to get the best warranty in the industry, you should also strive to get the best car insurance at the most affordable rate. That’s when the
