    Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIVE HYUNDAI MODELS NAMED “MOST LOVED” BY STRATEGIC VISION Jim Trainor Director (714) 594­1629 [email protected] ID: 40453 Hyundai with More “Loved” Vehicles than Any Other Brand FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 14, 2014 – In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the Hyundai Elantra GT, Sonata, Genesis, Equus, and Santa Fe have all been named to Strategic Vision’s list of the “Most Loved Vehicles in America.” With five “loved” cars, Hyundai has more than any other brand. This report, from research­based consultancy Strategic Vision, demonstrates how hard people can fall in love with the cars they drive. These five Hyundai vehicles ranked “Most Loved” in their respective segments as rated by new vehicle buyers: Small Multi­ Function Car (Elantra GT), Mid­Size Car (Sonata), Near­Luxury Car (Genesis), Luxury Car (Equus), and Mid­Size CUV (Santa Fe). Not only did Equus win its category, but it was also the second highest scoring vehicle overall, behind only the Tesla Model S. “Hyundai owners really love their cars,” said Alexander Edwards, president, Strategic Vision. “They had more segment winners in cars than any other brand and Hyundai’s Equus premium sedan finished second overall. ‘Love’ should be on any brand’s internal scorecard and is the pinnacle of achievement. Hyundai’s results demonstrate its commitment to customers and in turn their loyalty.” “Love” scores are calculated using attributes delivered by the vehicle and the dealership experiences – commitment, overall satisfaction, total top emotional responses, proposed repurchase loyalty and actual repurchase loyalty – to provide a Most Loved Index™.

Call us to schedule a test- drive, and we’ll deliver an Equus to your home, your office, or the destination of your choice. Once you’re an Equus owner, you won’t need to come into the service center.

We’ll exchange your car for a Courtesy Replacement Vehicle, then return your Equus when it’s ready. After all, luxury isn’t a thing. It’s an emotion. And when you own an Equus, you’ll feel like you’ve discovered what true luxury is all about. THE ROAD TO ENGINEERING A TRUE LUXURY SEDAN HAS NO SHORTCUTS.

  • Clarence W. Dasher, IV Capstone-Hyundai: the New Lexus? MGMT 458-Professor Fowler
    Clarence W. Dasher, IV Capstone-Hyundai: The New Lexus? MGMT 458-Professor Fowler Hyundai…Luxury? A few years ago, the words “Hyundai” and “luxury” would never have been thought of in the same sentence. However, based on their steady success over the last several years, luxury may not be such a far cry for the South Korean automaker. According to Time Magazine, “Hyundai has been the world's fastest-growing major automaker since 1999”1 (Time Magazine, 2005). Its plethora of affordable vehicles, 10 year/100,000 mile warranty, unmistakable design, reliability, and constant product improvements have all contributed to its position as a top contender in the value brand segment. But, being able to compete on the same level with with the likes of other value manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, and Ford is only one aspect of Hyundai’s quest to be a global force in the automotive market, especially in America. Hyundai has recently set its sights on the luxury segment which would effectively have the company competing with coveted luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and BMW.
