Hyundai’s commitment to improving residual value paid big dividends
today when ALG, a subsidiary of TrueCar, Inc., released the winners of
their 14th annual Residual Value Awards. For the second year in a row, the Santa Fe Sport took top place in the midsize utility vehicle segment and the Accent placed best in the subcompact category.
“Hyundai
has made great strides in residual values in recent years,” said Eric
Lyman, vice president of Editorial, ALG. “The Accent and Santa Fe Sport
are great examples of how the brand’s strong emphasis on feature content
and value for the money helps avoid the use of purchase incentives,
bolstering resale values and keeping owners happy when it comes time to
sell their vehicles.”
ALG’s Residual Value Awards honor the
vehicles in each segment that are predicted to retain the highest
residual value percentage of their original MSRP after a conventional
three-year ownership period. This year’s winners were chosen after
consideration of segment competition, historical vehicle performance and
industry trends.
“Hyundai is committed to becoming an industry
leader in the areas of reliability, safety, design and cost of
ownership, the primary components of value,” said Mike O’Brien, vice
president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America.
“Receiving these awards from ALG acknowledges this promise to customer
satisfaction, and speaks to Hyundai’s incredible value for money.”
These
two ALG Residual Value awards join five others that Hyundai has
received over the past three years. Santa Fe Sport, Azera and Elantra
all received Residual Value honors last year. Elantra was also
recognized by ALG for the 2011 and 2012 model years.
Now in its
third-generation, the Santa Fe Sport is one of Hyundai’s most
award-winning models. Built for today’s family, the vehicle showcases
Hyundai’s cutting-edge capabilities through its bold design, impressive
fuel economy, class-leading safety features and standard amenities. The
Accent is Hyundai’s award-winning subcompact car, which continues to
defy convention by offering extraordinary value and class-above features
to subcompact car shoppers.
