Hyundai said the mid-size car Sonata hybrid ranked No. 1 in the hybrid and electric-powered passenger car segment checked by AutoPacific Inc. This car segment was first launched in 2010 with the Mercury Milan hybrid and Lincoln MKZ hybrid being the early winners.
The AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Award is an industry benchmark for measuring how actual owners feel about their cars by checking 48 different categories including safety, product quality, performance and comfort.
Hyundai said the award was given after 75,000 car owners were surveyed with 14 passengers cars and 14 recreational vehicles and pickup trucks being evaluated.
Hyundai has recently extended the battery, motor and the hybrid power control unit warranty on the Sonata hybrid to 10 years. Hyundai‘s Sonata hybrid was first introduced in the U.S. market last year.
