NEW YORK-- The World Car Finals may have to change its name. After the dominance shown by one company during the car of the year awards, it may be better suited to rename it the Hyundai Awards. Held at the annual New York International Auto Show, the World Car Finals has turned into the Oscars or Grammys for the automobile industry. And the big winner this year was without a doubt Hyundai. Out of the six award categories that were featured, Hyundai walked away with three honors. That includes the prestigious World Car of the Year with its 2022 All-Electric IONIQ 5. 2022 World Car Of The Year Goes To The Hyundai IONIQ 5 "Our vision is to enable Progress for Humanity, and this endorsement of our approach will serve to embolden our commitment to make this vision a reality,” said Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company. “IONIQ 5 represents a pivotal achievement for us as we pioneer a new generation of smart mobility solutions with our innovative E-GMP platform technologies, exceptional performance and disruptive approach to design and space. IONIQ 5 has made a strong impression on increasingly eco-conscious consumers around the world, and its success supports the acceleration of electrification of the automotive industry. The pace of change at Hyundai will continue unabated through the rest of 2022 as we will soon be adding to our award-winning IONIQ range." The IONIQ5 beat out the Ford Mustang Mach E and the KIA EV6 to take home the top award. It was recognized by a jury of 102 automotive journalists from 33 countries around the world. The innovative battery electric vehicle (BEV), was a major reason for the car’s success. More Awards For The IONIQ 5 At World Car Finals The IONIQ 5 also grabbed the World Car Design of the Year and the first-ever World Electric Car of the Year. “It is a great honor for us. It means a lot to the entire Hyundai motor family. I’d like to say thank you to everyone on behalf of us at Hyundai,” Chang said. “For Hyundai, this is just one step in a long journey to provide more solutions for more people, in more places. We look forward to bringing more to market. Including more brands to the future. I’m confident our team will continue to deliver more designs and deliver sustained solutions and services.” It should not have been a surprise that Hyundai would have such a banner day. Earlier in the program, Luc Donckerwolke, Hyundai Motor Group's Executive Vice President for Design and Chief Creative Officer was named the 2022 World Car Person of the Year by The World Car Awards jury panel representing 102 journalists from 33 countries. Donckerwolke was chosen by the jury since he has held design responsibility for a number of highly innovative new models, including the Hyundai IONIQ5, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6, which were launched over the past year. All three automobiles were a finalist in at least one of the World Car categories this year. “Imagine giving your kids a prize because he plays with his toys,” Donckerwolke said. “Well, this is how I feel. I’m just a tree hiding in the forest, meaning my great design team. There are good designers everywhere. What makes a difference is management that trusts and empowers the design. This is why I am so grateful to work with a group that trusts us.” Hyundai Unveiled The 2023 Palisade While it was a day to celebrate 2022, Hyundai officials were also looking ahead to the future when they unveiled the 2023 Palisade SUV. The new Palisade still has a 3.8-liter V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Customers will notice right away the taller and wider grille that blends meaninglessly with the upper daytime running lights on the newly designed Palisade. Designers also added a new trim level, which they are calling the XRT. It has black roof rails and dark alloy wheels to give it a serious look. As do the 20-inch wheels It also includes black faun leather, a sunroof, and a wider center screen (12-inches across, with 720p resolution). And for those who just like to show off, drivers of the 2003 Hyundai Palisade can move the automobile frontward and backward just using the key fob—while standing outside. Because of its size, this technology allows it to get in and out of cramped spaces a little easier. “The design of the 2023 Palisade conveys dignified refinement with clear differentiation worthy of a flagship SUV,” a Hyundai spokesman stated. “A wider cascading grille form outlines rugged parametric shield elements for a premium appearance. The new forward lighting signature features vertically connected LED composite lights that frame the grille creating a sharp-edged, technical appeal. New, multi-spoke alloy wheels fill the wheel openings for a solid, premium appearance.” The 2023 Palisade is expected to go on sale this summer. A price tag has not been announced as of yet.

In the 2022 “Top Safety Picks+”, awarded by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Hyundai SUV crossovers received numerous accolades, being ranked among the top 22 safest crossover SUVs. The Appeal of a Crossover SUV While domestic full-size pickup trucks sell in greater numbers per model, crossover SUVs have been gaining enormous traction in the United States. Recently, crossover SUVs have become an extremely popular form of transportation among all walks of life: singles, families, and empty nesters. Perhaps it is the extra room offered for passengers, the taller ride height, or even the easy handling of these vehicles; whatever the reason, crossover SUVs have found their way into the heart of America. Growing families account for a large portion of the crossover SUV’s popularity in America– especially seven-passenger models. Families require something roomy, easy to drive, and safe. It’s extremely important to choose an SUV that keeps its passenger protected in a collision with minimal chance of serious injuries, and comes equipped with high-tech safety gear that can prevent collisions from occurring in the first place. That is why Hyundai set out to make the safest crossover SUV on the market, to protect families. According to the IIHS, this year's crossover SUV market is among the best in regards to safety. 2022 produced 34 small, midsize, and luxury crossovers earning the IIHS’ Top Safety Pick+, and another 20 crossovers earning the Top Safety Pick (without the plus) award. About the Awards The IIHS is an “independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes through research and evaluation and through education of consumers, policymakers and safety professionals.” In 2006, the nonprofit began ranking vehicles by safety with the Top Safety Pick awards, and in 2013 inaugurated the Top Safety Pick+ awards, holding vehicles at an even higher standard. To achieve the ranking of Top Safety Pick, a given model must receive good scores in all of IIHS’ crashworthiness tests, including front and side-impact tests, and both driver and passenger-side small overlap frontal crash tests that replicate hitting a tree or light pole. Each model then can earn a “superior” or “advanced” designation for its standard or optional forward emergency automatic braking system. Superior-rated systems have the ability to automatically apply the brakes if necessary to avoid a crash or reduce speeds by at least 5mph in two tests conducted at 12 and 25 mph. A model with “advanced” rating must be able to avoid a collision in one of the two tests. To achieve the illusive “Plus” status, a vehicle must further offer good or acceptable-rated headlights as standard equipment (non-plus models have to, at the very least, offer them as optional equipment somewhere within the model line.) Being able to light up the road ahead is too often overlooked, but is still a critical element of vehicle safety, as about half of traffic deaths occur in the dark, and a quarter of them on unlit roads. Many of the models rated poorly in this designation don’t provide enough illumination to enable a driver going 55 mph on a straight road to stop in time after seeing an obstacle in the vehicle’s path. Keep in mind that frontal crash-test results can only be accurately compared among same-size vehicles, due to the laws of physics. So, a top-rated compact car does not necessarily provide the same level of occupant protection as a larger sedan or SUV in a given collision. Side-impact tests, conversely, can be readily compared across the vehicle size and weight classifications due to the manner in which they are conducted. Hyundai Awarded Top Safety Pick+ Status Now, with an understanding of what the awards are, and the criteria for these awards, let's take a look at what Hyundai crossover SUVs have risen to Top Safety Pick+ status and have been crowned the safest crossover SUV!

The 2022 Best Cars for the Money awards were presented by US News & World Report, a global authority in rankings and consumer advice. The awards, which allocated and spanned 11 classifications, include honors for cars, SUVs, and minivans that offer the finest balance of long-term value and a great ownership experience. When it comes to a new car to buy, especially towards new vehicle owners and selecting the perfect one, it really does “require more than just the price tag”, said Jim Sharifi, Managing Editor of U.S. News Best Cars. "The cheapest automobile on the lot can impact a lot on the cost of high ownership, or it may be unfit for the buyer's requirements and expectations. The best cars for the Money designation denotes a very high degree of value and advantages at the dealership as well as over the vehicle's lifespans. These vehicles also provide adequate awareness in order to attract ownership conveniences by letting customers try out perks, comfort, and performance that they appreciate associating with the type of cars these customers want to purchase.. Winning The Big Award Hyundai has been the only brand to win five Best Cars for the Money accolades this year, more than any other car brand. Honda received three awards, while Kia, Nissan, and Toyota obtained only one. This is the sixth time that the Honda Odyssey has won, further establishing its name. But the Hyundai Kona, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Hyundai Tucson, all earned this honorable award for the second time. In addition, the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, and Hyundai Tucson Hybrid each received this award for the very first time. Below are the awards for the Best Cars For The Money that Hyundai received in 2022: Best 2-Row SUV for the Money: 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Best Compact SUV for the Money: 2022 Hyundai Tucson Best Hybrid and Electric Car for the Money" 2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Best Hybrid and Electric SUV for the Money: 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Best Subcompact SUV for the Money: 2022 Hyundai Kona The Best Cars For The Money award by U.S. News & World Report Since 2007, the U.S. News & World Report's automotive channel has reported an increase in new car sales in the United States.

Autobrand Hyundai won six awards during the 2021 Auto Express New Car Awards, further proving they produce some of the best vehicles on the market. The Hyundai models that won these awards include the Hyundai Ioniq 5, i20N, and Tucson. Find these award winning Hyundai vehicles for sale at Edmond Hyundai in Oklahoma. Hyundai UK - Hyundai rocked the competition in multiple categories in 2021 at the Auto Express New Car Awards. In total, Hyundai walked away with six awards to add to their already impressive collection of accolades. The industry experts at Auto Express New Car Awards understand what it takes to be considered a top brand in this ever evolving environment. It takes being at the forefront of technological innovations, like moving the bar higher for electric cars. Accomplishing this is what a company like Tesla Motor Corporations was able to do, but at a high cost. Whereas, Hyundai is able to bring this technology to everyone, not just the fortunate few, in the form of the very affordable Ioniq 5. Ioniq 5 The all-new Hyundai Ioniq 5 is bringing revolutionary advancement to the automotive industry. So much so that the experts at Auto Express New Car Awards had to trumpet its name in the ‘Mid-Size Company Car,’ ‘Premium Electric Car’ and ‘Design’ categories. Speaking of design, the sleek contour of the Ioniq 5 rings of elegance and sophistication as its smooth curves hug the road. Anyone one who is not queued up to view this car and its advances in drive technology need to take the time to just experience it for what it truly is, perfection. While the aesthetics of the Ioniq 5 makes it a work of art, its true identity lies with what’s under the hood. The Ioniq 5 is a reimagined take on how to effectively produce a zero-emissions SUV while maintaining performance and speed. The single motor rear-wheel drive vehicle will throw you to the back of your seat all while being absolutely silent. The Ioniq 5 goes beyond just being efficient, it transcends all other electric vehicle brands by pushing the limits. From under the hood to what’s inside, the features that drivers engage with every time they get behind the wheel of the Ioniq 5 create the perfect driving atmosphere. The features of the Hyundai SmartSense, like Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go or Lane Follow Assist, provide a sense of calming peace that is unrivaled amongst competition. All while the ergonomics of the interior puts you in the perfect driving position that encourages alertness. Being behind the wheel of the Ioniq 5 feels just . . . enlightening! Gaze upon its mastery with childhood wonderment and experience a true masterpiece. i20N The 2021 i20N has been appropriately triumphant in the ‘Hot Hatchback’ category from Auto Express New Car Awards. Experience the thrill of driving a light weight, low car that any adrenaline junkie loves. The engineering behind this automotive marvel pushes the boundaries of what a 4-door vehicle is “supposed to do.” Its recognition as such can be defined as being awarded the ‘Hot Hatchback’ award. Put the pedal to the metal and hold onto your seats because the i20N will zoom climb those MPHs faster than you think! While the small stature of the i20N may make you believe that the car is just good for efficiency. Well, the i20N is putting power and efficiency on the same playing field! The i20N’s Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) gives you maximum control of the vehicle with the push of a button. Finally, the affordable car that will make you wish you were 16 again! Tucson A classic that never fails to amaze, won the ‘Mid-Size SUV’ accolade from the experts at Auto Express New Car Awards. Of course, I am talking about the 2021 Tucson. Steve Fowler of the Auto Express said, “ The Hyundai Tucson is the perfect SUV for our times'' and remarked that the “attractive, spacious and easy-to-use interior, high quality fixtures and fittings, and all the kit today’s drivers want and need” is what ultimately won the award committee over. The Tucson takes the SUV to a whole new level by maximizing space without compromising the vehicle's purpose. The sharpness and high-quality of the vehicle just shows that it was built for the modern adventure. Apple CarPlay or Android Auto on the center stack will ensure you are never bored when you have your music streaming or audio book playing. The all new Tucson truly is the modern man’s best friend.

The 2021 Hyundai Sonata is a standout luxury sedan that has a slew of features and options that fit almost every preference. The 2021 Sonata trims include theSE, SEL, Blue Hybrid, SEL Plus, SEL Hybrid, N-Line, Limited, and the Limited Hybrid. Find the 2021 Sonata for sale at Edmond Hyundai with a starting price of around $30,000. Hyundai has stated multiple times their goal when producing vehicles is to maximize the value for the money you are getting when buying one of their vehicles, and the 2021 Sonata this year is no different. For years, the Sonata has offered family & travel goers a perfect solution for those needing safety, technology, and modern design wrapped up into one package. With sharp and prominent curvatures that wrap from the tail bumper all the way to the front fender & headlights, the Sonata features a ton of interesting, quirky features that make it truly standout for what's offered in Hyundai's package. A new tire setup and newly-introduced trim line have been shared with the public, offering consumers one of the best all-around sedans in the market. Engine Performance & Street Statistics During our testing, we find the 2021 Sonata lacks just a tad in the handling department, needing a little work on offering a smoother, more refined riding experience. However, the Sonata is still easily one of the fastest family sedans we have tested this year, with the N-Line expected to reach 0-60mph times in less than 6 seconds thanks to the new 290-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder & dual-clutch transmission being offered. As far as we know, there are 8 models being introduced with the 2021 Sonata, ranking from low to high tier versions they go: SE, SEL, Blue Hybrid, SEL Plus, SEL Hybrid, N-Line, Limited, and finally, the Limited Hybrid. We believe the SEL Plus is the best route due to the affordable price range of $29,305 and a slew of features/parts that make it a solid choice, such as the 180-hp turbo-four cylinder engine, 19-inch rims, and enhanced all-season tires. The conventional automatic transmission even in the standard model offers a smooth eight-speed transitioning experience that also does a great job of fuel-saving. Interior Features & Design One great thing we love about the inside cabin and features that are included is it feels like you definitely get more than what you pay for. The materials and overall design theme provides a spacious yet complexly feature-packed interior while the cabin itself feels upscale & ergonomic. It only offers a mere 16 cubic feet of cargo space but we were able to fit up to 7-8 carrier bags, which should be more than enough for short trips and such. The standard models feature an 8.0 inch multimedia display with more expensive models like the SEL & Limited models carrying a premium 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Leatherette and microsuede upholstery, back-seat air vents and USB ports are installed throughout the SEL Plus model. If you opt to go for the "Tech Package," a 12-speaker Bose stereo, 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, panoramic sunroof, and a semi-autonomous drive mode are all included for an even better, premium driving experience. Fuel Consumption & Economy The powertrains throughout Hyundai's 2021 Sedan are more than efficient enough to keep you from regularly visiting the gas station. In fact, the hybrid models such as the Blue Hybrid, are capable of reaching gas mileage of 50mpg in the city and 54mpg on the highway. The base 2.5-liter engine has estimates of up to 28/38 mpg city/highway while the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine sacrifices around 1 mpg in both categories. Our Final Thought Hyundai isn't messing around when they say "value for your money." The minimum price of the Sonata at $24,995 (SE model) is a solid affordable price point that rivals many competitors such as the Toyota Camry & Honda Accord. On the other hand, the higher end models such as the N-Line & Limited Hybrid reach up to $36,000 for a large list of advanced safety features, solid engine performance, and a clean, feature-packed interior. Regardless of what model you choose, the Sonata is a great choice for those who want a feature-packed ride delivering an upscale experience at a price that won't break the bank.

Out of nearly 400 options, 7 Hyundai vehicles were featured on the list in the categories of subcompact SUV, Mid-size SUV, Electric SUV, Subcompact Car, Compact Car, Sport Compact Car, and Family Sedan.

"The Kona Electric offers the standard model's cool looks and sprightly personality in a compelling all-electric version for those who'd rather never visit a gas station" - Car and Driver Subcompact Car Hyundai Accent Starting at a base price of $16,000, the Accent is one of the most affordable options for a new car that still features style and luxury. 2021 models have an array of new color options, and it's features include power windows, and a six-way adjustable driver's seat. "With the Hyundai Accent, there's no need to sacrifice your own dignity to be frugal" - Car and Driver Compact Car Hyundai Elantra Having received a bold new look in 2021, the Hyundai Elantra comes equipped with an upscale cabin and advanced technology features. These features include a 10.3-inch digital gauge display, adaptive cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and heated front seats. "Wild styling aside,the latest Hyundai sedan wows with its features, performance, and values." - Car and Driver Sport Compact Car Hyundai Veloster N Previously the Veloster N came with a six-speed manual transmission as the only available option. In 2021, an eight-speed dual clutch automatic transmission has been added as an option. New features also include more aggressively bolstered sport seats that are lighter than the ones they replace, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and upgraded touchscreen infotainment software "The Hyundai's quirky three-door Veloster Hatchback takes nicely to the N high-performance treatment, resulting in a sport compact that's both fun to drive and affordable" - Car and Driver Family Sedan Hyundai Sonata If sophistication and luxury at an affordable price is what you're looking for, then this is the car for you.

There are a lot of special things about the Hyundai car brand. But maybe one of the most special things is how Hyundai cares for the environment through continuous industrial and global efforts. This year Hyundai was awarded the International Truck of the Year Truck Innovation Award for its Hydrogen Mobility Solution. This award was in response to Hyundai's pan-European initiative to apply clean mobility for commercial vehicles In April 2019 Hyundai Motor Company created a joint venture with H2 Energy to expand Europe's hydrogen mobility ecosystem by using fuel cell trucks. The company planned to deliver 1,600 fuel cell electric heavy-duty trucks to Switzerland by 2025 as part of the country's clean mobility initiative. At Edmond Hyundai, we are proud to support a brand that does its part to improve the environment by applying clean mobility for commercial vehicles. We want our consumers to know when they purchase a Hyundai car, they are not simply buying a car. They are participating in something bigger than themselves.

This year Hyundai ranked third in the 2019 J.D. Power quality scorecard, scoring 71 problems per 100 vehicles, which is a slight improvement from its 2018 score. This ranking is a remarkable accomplishment for Hyundai considering more brands dropped this year instead of improving in ranking  in the heavily monitored Initial Quality Study released June 19, 2019, at the Automotive Press Association. The 2019 Initial Quality Study is determined by the results of a 233 question survey across eight vehicle categories and is completed by 76,256 buyers and lessees of new 2019 models. Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power, said there are several underlying reasons for Hyundai's high ranking, including its user-friendly technology that is easy for consumers to operate and understand. According to Sargent, Korean brands like Hyundai are adept at "understanding exactly what consumers want in their vehicles and delivering just that."

Hyundai has, once again, put out a vehicle that is raking in awards and acclaim. Our dealership is proud to have the Hyundai Sonata, double award winner. The Automotive Science Group (ASG) has officially bestowed the 2017 Hyundai Sonata with two of its top honors: "Best All-Around Performance" and "Best Economic Performance" in the full-sized sedan category.
