Hyundai NZ, best distributor in Asia Pacific

Hyundai Motor Company regularly award their top-performing distributors around the word and in 2011 Hyundai Motors New Zealand was named number one in Asia pacific, ahead of stiff competition from the larger markets of China, Japan, Vietnam and Laos. It’s the first time we’ve won this award outright, having shared the glory with the Philippines in 2006.

Hyundai Elantra wins double award

Recently launched in New Zealand, the Hyundai Elantra has already won the AutoPacific compact car Ideal Vehicle Award, as well as the Vehicle Satisfaction Award.

The Ideal Vehicle Award was based on results from 72,000 surveys completed by owners of new cars and light trucks in the United States. It measures the expectations of owners and asks them to rate their vehicle across 15 different categories, ranging from power and acceleration to safety features and storage.

As well as picking up the AutoPacific Awards, the Elantra was also ranked number one out of eight models in the compact sedan category by US magazine Motor Trend.
