Hyundai Sonata Scores Highest Marks Ever in Strategic Vision Total Value Index Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HYUNDAI SONATA SCORES HIGHEST MARKS EVER IN STRATEGIC VISION TOTAL VALUE INDEX Kevin Oates Ketchum, Partner, SVP, Practice Director (310) 437­2520 [email protected] Identificación: 816 Hyundai Genesis and Tucson Take Top Honors in Near­Luxury and Small SUV Categories FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., 01/25/2011 Hyundai’s 2011 Sonata “stunned” veteran analysts from Strategic Vision, tallying the highest Total Value score in the 14­year history of the study, topping all competitors ­­ past and present ­­ including those in luxury segments. The powerful results begged for an all­new award to be created, thus Sonata took home the first­ever “Special Total Value Award” recognizing its truly superior value. Hyundai’s luxurious Genesis sedan and new Tucson crossover earned top honors in the near­luxury and small SUV categories respectively, bolstering Hyundai’s trophy case even further in the 2010 Strategic Vision Total Value Index (TVI). The Total Value Index is the industry’s most comprehensive value study including survey responses from more than 100,000 buyers who purchased new vehicles from September 2009 to June 2010. Total Value then incorporates the importance of the variables that make up the ownership experience, and assess all of those variables against cost of the vehicle. “When the data came back on the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, it was so impressive it prompted us to re­examine the data several times to be certain,” said Strategic Vision President Alexander Edwards. “The findings were solid with particular superiority with owners ranking Value for Money, Technical Innovation, Standard Equipment, Fuel Economy and great Warranty all wrapped in a vehicle with eye­catching styling.” The 2011 Sonata received several industry accolades, including Hyundai’s first­ever recognition on Car and Driver’s “10Best” list and Automobile Magazine’s “All Star” honor. Hyundai Sonata represents a modern approach to the traditional midsize sedan segment by using only advanced four­cylinder engines, emotional design and luxury features offered with Hyundai’s strong value proposition. The Sonata launched with a new Theta II 2.4­liter gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine and in­house six­speed automatic transmission. The vehicle offers class­leading fuel economy of 22 mpg city/35 mpg highway and 198 horsepower standard. Both hybrid and turbo powertrains round out the Sonata lineup, offering a trio of high value options for consumers. “Consumer response to the all­new 2011 Sonata shows the strong appeal of Hyundai’s recipe of bold design, great quality, a segment­best 35 miles per gallon, and outstanding residual values,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Corporate and Strategic Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “This first­ever ‘Special Total Value Award,’ recognizing the highest score on this survey that Strategic Vision has ever recorded, honors the hard work of our California design team, our global engineering team and the 2,700 team members at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama for their innovation and dedication to high quality that enabled Sonata to break the mold in an otherwise bland mid­size sedan category.” The new­for­2010 Tucson strikes a stark contrast from its predecessor and improves in every functional area, from its roomier cabin with extra cargo space to its leap in fuel economy and technology. Tucson features the company’s “Fluidic Sculpture” design language and is the first Hyundai CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) to be designed and engineered in Europe at Hyundai’s Frankfurt­ based design and technical centers. Hyundai’s Genesis sedan set a new benchmark in the premium car category at launch by winning the prestigious North American Car of the Year award in 2009. With a starting price of just $33,000, Genesis includes performance and luxury features typically found on vehicles costing thousands of dollars more. Genesis takes home the Total Value award in the near luxury segment for the second consecutive year, proving that even three years into its model cycle, Hyundai’s first premium sedan still offers tremendous value to buyers. HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA Hyundai Motor America, headquartered in Fountain Valley, Calif., is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co. of Korea. Hyundai vehicles are distributed throughout the United States by Hyundai Motor America and are sold and serviced through more than 800 dealerships nationwide. All Hyundai vehicles sold in the U.S. are covered by the Hyundai Assurance program, which includes the 5­ year/60,000­mile fully transferable new vehicle warranty, Hyundai’s 10­year/100,000­mile powertrain warranty and 5­years of complimentary Roadside Assistance. ### Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HYUNDAI SONATA SCORES HIGHEST MARKS EVER IN STRATEGIC VISION TOTAL VALUE INDEX Kevin Oates Ketchum, Partner, SVP, Practice Director (310) 437­2520 [email protected] Identificación: 816 Hyundai Genesis and Tucson Take Top Honors in Near­Luxury and Small SUV Categories FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., 01/25/2011 Hyundai’s 2011 Sonata “stunned” veteran analysts from Strategic Vision, tallying the highest Total Value score in the 14­year history of the study, topping all competitors ­­ past and present ­­ including those in luxury segments.

  • 2012 Hyundai ACCENT Information Provided By
    Information Provided by: 2012 HYUNDAI ACCENT Information Provided by: 2012 ACCENT NEW THINKING From the very beginning, our engineers were determined to conceive something more than a redesigned car. They wanted to change the very idea of what a subcompact could be. Can we engineer a car that rolls onto the scene with best-in- class horsepower, while also delivering class-leading standard fuel economy? Can we conceive a fluid, aerodynamic profile with an interior cabin spacious enough to offer the most front and rear shoulder room in its class? Can we wave goodbye to the compromises inherent in traditional subcompacts? The all-new 2012 Hyundai Accent has all the answers. With three trim levels to choose from, there’s plenty to consider. The artful simplicity of the GLS 4-Door. The versatility of a well- equipped GS 5-Door. And the sport-inspired pleasures of the SE 5-Door. Each new model is molded with dynamic styling that is sure to raise eyebrows as well as expectations. What happens when you give an imaginative team of engineers the freedom to go beyond making changes to a car…and do something so different, it changes people’s thinking? Inquire within.

June 22, 2021 – Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) celebrated the launch of the all-new 2022 Santa Cruz Sport Adventure Vehicle on Tuesday, June 22, 2021. The Santa Cruz joins the Sonata and Elantra sedans and Santa Fe and Tucson SUVs on the Montgomery assembly line. This addition marks the first time HMMA has produced five vehicles at once. The highly-anticipated Santa Cruz Sport Adventure Vehicle shatters both SUV and truck segments, creating an entirely new vehicle category. The Santa Cruz features a secure, open bed area which includes a lockable tonneau cover and hidden bed storage for diverse gear-carrying flexibility. “Santa Cruz, with its bold styling, breaks open an all new segment territory, both for Hyundai and the industry as a whole.

  • Important Safety Recall
    NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V-226 IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dear Hyundai Sonata owner: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Hyundai has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year 2013 through 2014 Sonata vehicles produced beginning on March 21, 2012 through May 29, 2014. Our records indicate that you own or lease the vehicle identified by the VIN on this notice. What is the problem? An investigation by Hyundai has determined that metal debris may have been generated from factory machining operations as part of the manufacturing of the engine. This debris may restrict oil flow to the bearings and increasing the potential of premature bearing wear. A worn connecting rod bearing will produce a metallic, cyclic knocking noise from the engine which increases in frequency as the engine RPM increases. If the vehicle continues to be driven with a worn connecting rod bearing, the bearing can fail, and the vehicle could stall while in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. What will Hyundai do? Your Hyundai dealer will inspect your vehicle for indications of a worn connecting rod bearing and if necessary, repair your vehicle. This procedure will be performed at NO CHARGE to you. The actual time required to perform the inspection procedure will take approximately 1 hour, however your vehicle may be needed longer; therefore, we recommend scheduling a service appointment to minimize inconvenience. A minimum of one day will be required if it is necessary to perform a repair procedure on your vehicle.
