Hyundai Motor Company's representative mid-size SUV 'Santa Fe Hybrid' was recognized for its competitiveness in a hybrid SUV comparative evaluation conducted by 'Auto Zeitung', a leading German automobile magazine.
Auto Zeitung is one of the three major automobile magazines in Germany, the home of automobiles, and is highly trusted by consumers in Germany as well as Europe, and is an important criterion for purchasing a vehicle.
This comparative evaluation was conducted on four hybrid models, including Santa Fe, in five evaluation categories: body, driving convenience, powertrain, dynamic driving performance, and eco-friendly economy.
Santa Fe Hybrid was recognized for its excellent product quality in three of the five evaluation categories: body, driving convenience, and dynamic driving performance.
The fact that Santa Fe Hybrid ranked first in a comparative evaluation with three representative Japanese hybrid models is a meaningful case that proves Hyundai Motor Company's excellent competitiveness in the growing European hybrid market.
The Auto Zeitung editor-in-chief praised the Santa Fe for its spacious interior, extensive safety features, top-notch ride quality, and outstanding braking performance, which particularly outperformed other models evaluated.
