The
all new Hyundai Sonata earned the top mark in the midsize sedan category in
AutoPacific’s 19th annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards for its outstanding
quality. In addition, Hyundai ranked within the top three mainstream brands in
owner satisfaction.
“Today,
there are many midsize sedans for shoppers to choose from, but the Sonata
stands out in the crowded segment for satisfying owners from interior comfort
and styling to fuel economy and performance,” said Brandon Ramirez, senior
group manager, product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “The Sonata achieves
the highest customer experience with its quality combined with value,
technology, design and safety.”
The
Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are based on survey responses from more than 66,000
owners’ new model-year cars and light trucks. The annual survey measures owner
satisfaction on 50 separate attributes. These awards identify the most
satisfying vehicles on the market and are an industry benchmark that measures
how satisfied owners are with their new vehicle.
“Hyundai
is continually improving owner satisfaction in key areas like reliability and
quality, yet it is also hitting the mark with safety, braking, handling,
styling and seat comfort, not to mention a very satisfying warranty program,”
said George Peterson, president, AutoPacific.
The
seventh-generation Sonata offers a more refined look through a new Fluidic
Sculpture design language, stiffer body structure, enhanced ride quality,
reduced noise, vibration and harshness and more convenience features. No longer
reserved for luxury cars, advanced safety technologies such as Forward
Collision Warning, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and a Lane
Departure Warning System are all available in this midsize sedan.
Furthermore,
the Sonata’s smart trunk gives owners a convenient hands-free way to open the
trunk while keeping both feet firmly planted on the ground, so putting items
away is easier and more convenient. The owner simply needs to approach the
Sonata’s trunk with the key fob in a purse or pocket and wait three seconds. The
trunk will automatically open, making it easy to place items inside when hands
are full. Sonata truly democratizes the premium design and convenient
technology of the Genesis sedan for the mid-size class.
