How Hyundai grades

Across the 11 Hyundai models graded here — 7 SUVs, 3 sedans and one truck — the median overall GPA is 2.56 (C+), 0.12 above the 2.44 median across every graded model. 3 of the 11 run a hybrid, plug-in or fully electric powertrain.

Subject by subject against the rest of the fleet, ownership cost is where Hyundai does best — a median of 3.34 against 0.85 elsewhere — and driving experience is where it gives most away, at 2.29 against 2.70.

The highest-graded is the 2026 Hyundai Palisade at 3.03; the lowest is the 2026 Hyundai Venue at 1.22. Every grade is normalized inside its own segment, so these are cars measured against their direct rivals rather than against each other.
