Santa Fe Sport Is Editor Choice for FAMA

[Hyundai NEWS]

FAMA Magazine—one of the country’s leading Spanish-language publications—celebrated the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] edition of its annual auto awards program recently at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit—and the result was another celebration for the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Already named Autobytel’s Crossover of the Year for 2013, Hyundai’s all-new five-seat entry has now claimed an Editor Choice Award from FAMA, with the magazine’s editor Al Vazquez saying that: “FAMA Magazineputs all new vehicles through rigorous road tests to determine their driving capabilities, functionality and convenience inside the cabin, and features and services women look for when buying a new vehicle.
“I had the opportunity to test drive the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport through the challenging terrain and high altitude of Utah and not once did this vehicle let me down.”
Of course, the Santa Fe Sport offers the same high levels of capability and reliability even in everyday driving, backed by features like its Driver Selectable Steering Mode, standard BlueLink telematics system, an available Dynamax all-wheel-drive system, and EPA marks of up to 21 mpg city/29 mpg highway/24 mpg combined.
“It’s an honor to receive the Editor Choice Award by FAMA Magazine, one of the leading Hispanic voices in the automotive industry and in particular, Latina women,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “According to a recent study by Polk, women now make nearly 80 percent of automotive purchase decisions and this award is a clear indication we are delivering on the attributes they seek such as the Santa Fe’s stellar versatility and functionality, class-leading safety, impressive fuel economy and the best warranty in the industry.”
