HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID TOPS SEGMENT IN AUTOPACIFIC VEHICLE SATISFACTION AWARDS

COSTA MESA, Calif., May 24, 2012 – The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid topped the Hybrid Car/EV category in the 2012 AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA). AutoPacific’s VSA survey measures how satisfied an owner is with his/her new car or light truck. This study by the Southern California-based automotive research firm summarizes the results of more than 75,000 surveys completed by owners of new cars and light trucks in the United States in the first quarter of 2012. Additionally, Hyundai finished fifth overall in the Popular Brand rankings.

“Owners have made the Sonata a star in AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Awards. In fact, when the all-new Sonata first launched in 2010, owners gave it the highest Vehicle Satisfaction Score we have ever recorded,” notes Daniel Hall, Vice President of AutoPacific. “The Sonata Hybrid appears to be carrying on the tradition.”

The 2012 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are based on scores developed using results from AutoPacific’s national New Vehicle Satisfaction Survey. Respondents to this survey are owners of new 2012 model year cars and trucks purchased from September through December 2011. Respondents rate 48 attributes for importance in the purchase decision and satisfaction after purchase.

“Having our models recognized in AutoPacific’s 2012 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards is a testament to the hard work and dedication that goes into all the vehicles in the Hyundai lineup,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “At Hyundai, we strive to exceed customer expectations in safety, quality, value and performance, and look forward to continuing to develop more award winning vehicles as we bring the 2013 Santa Fe to market this year.”

The Sonata Hybrid features Hyundai’s Hybrid Blue Drive system with a powertrain entirely developed in-house. The Sonata Hybrid can be driven in zero emissions, fully electric drive mode at speeds up to 72 miles per hour or in blended gas-electric mode at any speed. The Hybrid Sonata also features a lithium polymer battery pack, making Hyundai the first automaker in the world to incorporate this remarkably efficient battery technology into production vehicles. All Sonata Hybrids are covered by Hyundai’s Lifetime Hybrid Battery Replacement Guarantee. To view the complete 2012 VSA results, visit: http://www.autopacific.com.

"Once again I had a terrific experience at O Hare Hyundai. I went for an oil change and on vehicle inspection they found I needed a front end suspension part that needed to be replaced, and it was covered under warranty. They service the car timely and deliver it clean after a no charge car wash. I ve always had fantastic service." - Doris

"I had my auto in for the usual oil change.  They took me promptly.  The staff was attentive.  I enjoyed a cup of coffee.  Within a short time, my car was finished.
The car got washed.  I am very pleased with the service I get at O'Hare Hyundai and have recommended it to many of my friends.  I also like the insurance plan you receive when  you get an oil change.  It is a 4 month coverage on tire repair/replacement, etc." - Sandra

"Michael was helpful in finding the vehicle I was searching for and walked me through the purchase process - this was my second vehicle purchase and was not very familiar with the process. Mike and O'hare Hyundai made it quite painless."

"Everyone was great to work with. My overall experience was low pressure, and worked with a very friendly and professional staff. Gina quickly responded to my internet inquiry, and provided me with a quote the next business day. From there, I worked with Mike, who made the entire buying experience pleasant. Mike introduced me to the friendly service staff, and after the deal was closed, showed me everything I needed to know about my new car. Mike also took care of my trade in, and made that process go smoothly. Financing was easy, and Dan was very knowledgeable about the process and answered all my questions."

Your Monday Maintenance Tip: Driving in High Wind Conditions

Driving in high winds can be dangerous and even more hazardous because of the other weather conditions that normally accompany them. Extreme caution should be used when driving a car in any type of severe weather.

  • Be aware of the other vehicles around you in high winds. This is especially true with RVs, campers, trucks, buses, or trailers being towed.
  • Slow down the speed of your car to minimize the wind’s affect on your vehicle.
  • Avoid parking near trees, downed power lines and buildings.
  • The main factors that keep you on the road are the weight of your vehicle, so if you are driving a little city-car along the motorways in the high winds,you should be more careful.
  • Plan ahead. As you have to drive more slowly in high winds you should expect your journey to take longer than usual and therefore leave extra time. You definitely don’t want to be speeding to make up the time!
  • Make steering corrections when driving from a protected to unprotected area. This is because the wind may move your car with a sudden force after being in the protected area.
  • Lower your speed when driving next to larger vehicles such as trucks and buses. These vehicles can swing out and hit your car if the wind picks up suddenly.
  • Listen to the radio for changes in weather conditions that could become more dangerous.
  • Wind is often accompanied by heavy rain or winter precipitation. Stay alert for slippery areas.
