Hyundai receives even more accolades

So the jurors of the North American Car and Truck of the Year awards, which this week named the Hyundai Genesis the 2009 Car of the Year, do not stand alone.

Another independent set of automotive experts, these from the venerable Consumer Reports magazine, singled out the Hyundai Genesis as a special vehicle. It beat four finalist competitors to become Consumer Reports' top-rated vehicle in the competitive “Upscale Sedan” category.

The Genesis got the checkered flag as “Excellent” in overall road test scores, and now outranks 12 vehicles from Lexus, Acura, Lincoln and others, including, notably, the Lexus ES 350.

The consumer magazine reports that the Genesis’ performance in testing — which is comprehensive, let me assure you — is one more notch in the belt in the belt for Hyundai, rapidly gaining a reputation for building high-quality vehicles in an ever-expanding diversification in its lineup. Already, Consumer Reports had named two Hyundais, the Elantra and Santa Fe, as “Top Pick” vehicles in the small sedan and midsize SUV categories respectively.

“The Hyundai Genesis rivals high-end luxury sedans but costs considerably less,” said David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports’ Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Connecticut. “Its luxurious and spacious interior and quietness far transcend its relatively modest price” — modest being low to high 30s in a field that range from $33,660 to $40,880 and included the Acura TL, Nissan Maxima, Pontiac G8, snf Lincoln MKS.

Time To Prepare For Warm Weather:

  • Review your maintenance Schedule.
  • Check your cooling system.
  • Replace that old thermostat.

The Momentum just keeps building! This week, HYUNDAI BRAND LOYALTY REPLACED TOYOTA FOR THE NUMBER ONE SPOT, according to Kelly Blue Book’s www.kbb.com.

Brand loyalty for Hyundai recently surpassed that of Honda and replaced Toyota, allowing Hyundai to take the No. 1 spot among car shoppers. Up from third place in Q4 2009, Hyundai saw the greatest increase in loyalty in February 2010, with Hyundai owners looking at new models within the brand increasing by 10.4 percentage points to 56.3 percent.

“A large part of Hyundai’s momentum is a result of introducing passionate new products like the 2011 Sonata and 2010 Tucson,” said James Bell, executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com.

In addition to topping brand loyalty, the all-new 2011 Sonata was named to kbb.com’s Top 10 Most-Researched New Vehicles list for the first time. In February, the Sonata was the fifth most-researched new car on kbb.com alongside ‘Top 10 Most-Researched’ mainstays such as Accord, Civic, Camry and CR-V.

This Kelley Blue Book Market Intelligence data analysis examined site traffic to used-car trade-in pages and new-car pricing report pages on Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com, and compared loyalty data from Q4 2009 to February 1 – 28, 2010. This is just more great news that keeps our momentum going.


Comments From A Customer:

"I love it , it rides so smooth. It's so comfortable and my husband loves driving it, too!  It has a lot more room than the Mercedes we traded in on it."
