Hyundai's Sonata gets top marks in U.S. consumer survey
SEOUL, July 14 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's leading carmaker Hyundai Motor Co. said Thursday that its Sonata sedan tied for the highest number of customer satisfaction points among mid-size cars in a survey conducted by a U.S. market researcher.
Strategic Vision Inc. ranked the Sonata as the best car in its size segment in the 2011 Total Quality Index (TQI), along with Volkswagen's Zeta, Hyundai said. The two cars each received a total of 876 points, the highest among a field that included competitors such as Honda's Accord, Ford's Fusion and Nissan's Altima.
Strategic Vision has been rating customer satisfaction of car buyers since 1995 with the TQI checking all aspects of a buyer's experience such as perception of quality, reliability, fuel economy and good residual value in the used car market.
Hyundai said the researcher surveyed 37,000 people who bought the Sonata from October through December of 2010.
The latest generation of the popular sedan reached the U.S. market in mid 2009 and received good reviews for its bold design, quality and excellent value-for-money characteristics.
The latest laurels come after the Sonata was named one of the top 10 family cars in 2011 by the Kelley Blue Book in February, and received the customer satisfaction award from AutoPacific in May.
Hyundai, meanwhile, sold 22,754 Sonata units in the U.S. in May, marking the first time that its sales have surpassed rivals like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.
