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.

“I went in for maintenance on my Hyundai Tiburon and had been very curios on the new 2012 Veloster, so after mentioning that to the service department they got me out and introduced me to Mason Spain and he then helped me and eventually got me into a brand new 2012 Veloster. Mason was outstanding & not pushy, made the car buying sales experience very comfortable. As did, the entire Norman Automax team! I even referred my best friend to them, he then in turn had his parents go out and look at Hyundai’s and on May 14 they even bought a Sonata from Mason & Automax! Great job, I had to share the outstanding experience I had, and I HIGHLY recommend the Veloster, its so much FUN & I get lots of compliments & questions on it!” -Tglidewelljr

“We all hate buying cars but Automax Norman was/is great. Due to recent Oklahoma weather I was left in search of a new car. Tom Merolla was my car salesman. He was fabulous. It is hard to find a dealer that you would be willing to go back to. I would return to Automax Norman no question.” -Pleasantly Surprised Customer

COSTA MESA, Calif.,- Hyundai Motor America presented a $25,000 check to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) on Saturday, May 12, 2012 during the opening ceremony of its annual “Walk Like MADD” 5K walk in Huntington Beach, Calif. The walk raised awareness for MADD’s mission to stop drinking and driving, support victims and prevent underage drinking. In its ongoing commitment to driver safety, Hyundai was the presenting sponsor of the event for the second consecutive year.

Walk Like MADD, MADD’s signature walk, is a fun, community-driven 5K walk that raises funds and saves lives. This year’s event drew more than 1,200 participants and included a Hyundai Veloster display, a 1,000 cranes origami project to bring hope to the victims and survivors of drunk driving crashes, a live performance by Redneck Rodeo, and law enforcement support from the California Highway Patrol and the police departments of Santa Ana, Orange, Huntington Beach and Irvine.

“We are honored to have Hyundai Motor America stand beside us as we work to make our roadways and communities safe throughout Orange County,” said Mary Beth Griffin, affiliate executive director of MADD Orange County. “The funds raised through Walk Like MADD will go to support our mission and we are very grateful to Hyundai for their support in making the event a success.”

Hyundai has partnered with MADD since 2005 when it sponsored a program that educated high school students on the dangers of drinking and driving. Hyundai has since expanded that partnership and is now the presenting partner for “Walk Like MADD.” The walking event in Orange County is one of MADD’s largest 5K walks.

“Drunk driving is a serious issue and Hyundai is committed to raising awareness about driver safety to help make our communities safer,” said Zafar Brooks, director of corporate social responsibility, Hyundai Motor America. “Hyundai strives to be a positive corporate citizen and I am honored to continue our relationship with Mothers Against Drunk Driving in support of their important mission.”

Hyundai’s participation at the “Walk Like MADD” walk event is part of its larger corporate social responsibility program that runs under the mantra of “doing good things together.” Hyundai is committed to being a responsible member of the community and giving back to its neighbors while focusing on youth health and education nationwide.
