The Hyundai Accent and the Hyundai Tucson have been named the winners of AutoPacific’s annual Vehicle Satisfaction Research studies, respectively earning first place awards in the Best In Class Economy Car and Best In Class Compact Crossover Sport Utility Vehicle categories. These awards are based on owner input concerning 32 attributes that are important to them and how satisfied they are with each of those attributes.
Each year AutoPacific analyzes the results of its New Vehicle Satisfaction Survey and identifies the top performing vehicles by concentrating on reliability, quality and owner satisfaction data. To date, AutoPacific has conducted over 300 vehicle product clinics and 4,000 focus groups throughout the U.S. and internationally, including numerous additional proprietary studies with domestic, European and Asian clients covering the automotive industry.
“Customer satisfaction is central to everything we do, and this recognition from Hyundai owners through third-party industry leader AutoPacific affirms our commitment,” said John Simmons, senior group manager, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America.
For the 2020 model year, Accent features a new Smartstream G1.6 Dual Port Injection (DPI) engine and a Smartstream Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), increasing Accent’s EPA estimated fuel economy considerably from 2019. The popular CUV, Tucson, has refreshed its palette of exterior colors in 2020 and repackaged content for enhanced customer value.
