Looking to ride into 2017 in the Best Ride? Well, Hyundai’s got you covered. Bestride.com just released their list of BestRides in 2016 and it’s no surprise that in two of the most competitive industry segments, the Sonata was a favourite for the midsize car category and the Santa Fe impressed in the compact crossover/SUV.
BestRide.com’s four reviewers tested many cars and trucks on both U.S. coasts and these two Hyundai models were among a select group of standouts!
“Plenty of cargo room, a comfortable interior, and an intuitive infotainment system put the Hyundai Sonata at the top of the list for midsized sedans,” said Nicole Wakelin, contributor, BestRide.com. “It’s a great value, with even the base model including a touchscreen for the infotainment system.”
With three efficient powertrains to select from, Sonata offers a strong lineup for 2017. Packing upgrades and maximising value with many comfort and convenience features like a hands-free smart trunk, 8-inch navigation display, electronic parking brake, and Blue Link telematics system. Value, safety and comfort are offered at every price point across the lineup.
The award-winning Hyundai Santa Fe is the only choice for families and is dramatically improved for 2017. The lineup offers front or all-wheel drive with seating options for five, six or seven passengers. Equipt with a powerful but efficient 2.4-liter four-cylinder direct-injected engine with 185 horsepower or the more powerful, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 240 horsepower, the Santa Fe is fun behind the wheel. Offering a full suite of connectivity and diagnostic features, it’s no surprise BestRides picked it out of the pack.
“The 2017 Hyundai Sonata and 2017 Santa Fe Sport are affordable, fun to drive and equipped with advanced safety technologies and infotainment systems,” said Brandon Ramirez, senior group manager, product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Having two Hyundai vehicles named as favorites by BestRide.com shows that we are committed to providing better for our customers across our diverse lineup.”
