Four Hyundais Named ‘Best Values in America’

[Hyundai NEWS]

Hyundai remains one of the fastest-growing car brands in America, and here’s a key reason: Four members of its lineup are among the Best Values in America. That’s according to Vincentric, one of the country’s top sources for automotive data and analysis, which based its choices on an analysis of eight different cost factors, including depreciation, fuel, insurance, opportunity cost, financing, maintenance, taxes and state fees, and repairs.
Showing particularly low ownership costs and high value in the marketplace were:
Hyundai Tucson—The leader for the second consecutive year in the “Crossover, Compact, Entry-level” segment, the Tucson was lauded for its looks, but as Vincentric points out, “the Hyundai Tucson isn’t just easy on the eyes—it’s also easy on your wallet, with the lowest operating costs in this category.”
Hyundai Accent—Garnering praise for its strong redesign, the new Accent earned the No. 1 spot in the “Subcompact” class thanks to “its well-rounded scores, including better than average results with fuel, insurance, and operating costs.”
Hyundai Elantra—The Elantra’s victory in the “Compact Sedan” category was helped by “its best-in-class fuel and operating costs, along with a cost-of-ownership that was 6 percent lower than expected”—and ended a string of six straight wins for the Honda Civic.
Hyundai Genesis Coupe—The highest-rated “Mid-size, Coupe” was the Genesis, showcasing best-in-class marks for depreciation, insurance and repair costs; and remember, the 2013 Genesis Coupe will be in dealerships soon, wearing a refreshed exterior design and an available 348-hp V6 engine.
“The Accent, Elantra, Genesis Coupe and Tucson are all prime examples of models that not only meet but exceed customer expectations when it comes to value,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Hyundai’s high fuel economy vehicles combined with its strong Assurance program reduces the overall cost of ownership and allows the company to offer quality vehicles with very strong residual values.”
