FOUNTAIN
VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 3, 2014 – Hyundai’s
flagship Equus sedan
received its third Motorist Choice Award in a row as the Popular Luxury Lifestyle
Vehicle from automotive industry research firms AutoPacific and IntelliChoice.
The Equus earned high marks
among more than 92,000 new vehicle buyers for overall satisfaction and low
ownership costs over time.
“The
Motorist Choice Awards are meaningful because they are based on the feedback of
new car owners,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president of corporate and product
planning, Hyundai Motor
America. “This accolade is a further testament to Hyundai’s commitment in
creating, developing and delivering products like the Equus that creates a new top
tier in terms of customer experience and luxury car ownership.”
The
Motorist Choice Award combines complementary analyses from AutoPacific's new
vehicle satisfaction survey with IntelliChoice.com's proprietary cost of
ownership data. The firms then use this consumer data to determine winners in
the Popular and Premium brand groupings. The methodology provides a superior
means of evaluating “Best in Class” vehicles that align consumer shopping
patterns with probability for both satisfaction and value.
The Equus successfully competes
with the best sedans in the world. The award-winning vehicle features the
powerful direct injection 5.0-liter Tau V8 engine. The engine produces 429
horsepower and is mated to an in-house eight-speed transmission, providing Equus drivers
not only more power and refinement, but also superb owner satisfaction and
experience.
