Hyundai Earns Four Top Spots in AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai has been named 2018's Most Satisfying Popular Brand in AutoPacific's annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSAs). In addition to winning this overall title, Hyundai has three cars—the Sonata, Elantra and Accent—that earned top spots in the mid-size car, compact car and economy car categories, respectively.

The AutoPacific VSAs serve as a benchmark for new-car satisfaction in the automotive industry. The results of the VSAs are determined through a survey in which respondents rate 40 different attributes reflecting what was important to them when choosing a new car, and their satisfaction with the vehicle following their purchase. This year, the VSAs drew survey results from 58,000 new-car owners of 2017 and 2018 automobiles to make their decision.  

"Hyundai has consistently improved their lineup across the board," said George Peterson, president, AutoPacific. "This year's VSAs were competitive, but Hyundai's products resonate top to bottom with their customers. From reliability and quality to exceptional exterior and interior design, Hyundai cars leave consumers satisfied."

The 2018 Sonata is Hyundai's best Sonata yet, with award-winning safety features, innovative technology, and a beautifully redesigned exterior. The Sonata, designed with the rider in mind, seeks to elevate the interior experience, combining comfortable seating with convenience and safety.
