FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.,May 19,2009– The 2009 Hyundai Entourage minivan was recognized as a Best Family Car for 2009 by Parents magazine and Edmunds.com in their annual list of family vehicles. The Best Family Cars of 2009 will appear in the June 2009 issue of Parents magazine and is on newsstands nationwide today.
“The Hyundai Entourage emerged as one of the top three minivans in our test,” said Dana Points, editorinchief of Parents. “Our survey takes into special consideration the priorities of families, and the Entourage has many features to accommodate their real world needs.”
The Parents/Edmunds.com Best Family Cars for 2009 are based on six months of analyzing and testdriving dozens of vehicles. The list includes 15 top models – three each in Sedan, Budget, Crossover, SUV and Minivan categories. Each car was judged on safety, performance, interior, exterior and familyfriendly features. In addition to professional reviews, editors took into account feedback from parents who own and drive the vehicles everyday.
“Hyundai offers standard, familyfriendly equipment in the Entourage making it an ideal minivan for parents,” said Brandon Ramirez, product planning manager, Hyundai Motor America. “Additionally, safety is the most important aspect of a vehicle for families and the Entourage’s six standard airbags, including side air curtains for all three rows of seats, electronic stability control, and active front head restraints make it one of the safest minivans on the road.”
The Hyundai Entourage combines top safety ratings and new technologies to redefine value. The Entourage uses a powerful 3.8 liter V6 engine and a fivespeed automatic transmission – all backed by Hyundai’s 10year, 100,000mile warranty. It includes standard safety features like electronic stability control (ESC), six air bags and active frontseat head restraints, which have earned the Entourage a top fivestar crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) and a TOP SAFETY PICK rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) – the best rating ever for a minivan.
Inside, Entourage is one of the most comfortable and convenient minivans on the market, thanks to a number of highly desired standard features including multiadjustable captain’s chairs for the front and second rows, 60/40 split foldintofloor third row seats, front wiper deicer, cruise control, front conversation mirror to view children in the rear seats, rear sliding doors with power windows, front and rear air conditioning, roofmounted rearseat vents for both the second and thirdrow passengers, and a foldaway tray table with four cupholders mounted between the front seats.
