HYUNDAI SANTA FE RECOGNIZED FOR USED CAR VALUE AND DRIVER EXPERIENCE BY CARGURUS

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., May 24, 2017 – The 2013 to 2016 model years of Hyundai’s Santa Fe have been named best used car for the Full-size Crossover/SUV in CarGurus’ first annual Best Used Car Awards. The award recognizes the best recent-year used models across seven categories and takes into account things like long-term value retention and driver satisfaction.



The Santa Fe was recognized by CarGurus as a jack of all trades, scoring well among experts reviewing the vehicle and topping competition including the Ford Expedition and Dodge Durango in expected value retention. Features including Apple CarPlay and a streamlined interface were also recognized, with CarGurus noting that the vehicle delivers comfort, technology and space for used car buyers.

“The value retention and driver-experience features of the Santa Fe really stood out to us as we considered it” said Amy Mueller, vice president of communications, CarGurus. “Our rankings are about providing used-car buyers with assurance that the vehicle they choose is worth the investment, and we definitely found that to be the case with the recent Santa Fe models.”

“Buyers looking for a used car are always going to consider the value of the vehicle first, but it’s the performance and experience of the vehicle that makes them truly see this value” said Brandon Ramirez, senior group manager, product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “The Santa Fe is a perfect example of how Hyundai takes this into account so that our customers don’t just see our cars as transportation, but a viable investment in today’s car market.”

CarGurus determines the award winners based late model cars originally available for sale in the United States. Vehicle generations which include the 2013 model year are considered in their entirety when evaluating nominees. Nominees are evaluated on criteria including CarGurus users’ reviews, professional test drive reviews, and projected 12-year depreciation. The model with the highest overall score was determined to be the winner for each category.

VELOSTER ONE OF THE ‘COOLEST CARS UNDER $18K’ ACCORDING TO KELLEY BLUE BOOK

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., May 23, 2017 – In another recognition of its delivering both value and fun for drivers in the compact category, Hyundai’s 2017 Veloster has been honored by Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com with inclusion in its annual ‘10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000’ list. As one of Kelley Blue Book’s longest running lists, the recognition highlights dynamic vehicles that remain affordable to a wide array of consumers.



“When we look at these rankings, we factor in not only price but what we describe as a ‘cool factor’ represented by a vehicle being both fun to drive and fun to own,” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com. “The Veloster definitely fits the bill here, with a visual styling and ownership value that gives first-time owners and other budget-conscious buyers a fun experience without having to break the bank.”

With bold design features on both interior and exterior, an available 6-speed EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission and a five-star NHTSA safety rating, the Veloster provides value and owner experience like nothing else in its class.

“Vehicles at this price point are often associated with less styling or performance, but the Veloster delivers a unique and youthful design with fun-to-drive characteristics,” said Brandon Ramirez, senior group manager, product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Part of our commitment to provide ‘better’ for our customers means eliminating compromises, and this recognition is an indication that the Veloster provides exactly that.”
