Hyundai is finishing the year with a bang, grabbing top honors in consumer satisfaction across the globe.

“These new honors cement Hyundai’s clout as a global automotive leader,” said Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo, president & chied executive, Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI). “They highlight the progress and relentless work of Hyundai Motor Company to be a leader in smart mobility for all. We join the entire Hyundai global community in celebrating this.”

The Hyundai Accent ranked best small car in the JD Power USA 2021 Initial Quality Study. The study, now on its 35th year, is based on the responses of 110,827 new car owners to a 223-point questionnaire on vehicle safety, driving experience, dealership experience, and resale value. The same study saw the Hyundai Tucson finishing second in its segment.

Locally, the Hyundai Accent remains Hyundai’s top-selling passenger sedan for its outstanding fuel efficiency, while the Hyundai Tucson is the best-loved Hyundai SUV for its sensible balance of power, sporty style, and drivability. The multi-awarded Hyundai Kona has been making waves for its head-turning looks and beastly performance on long drives. While the Hyundai Ioniq is one of the first electric vehicles introduced to the Philippine market.
Meanwhile, Top Gear UK hailed Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) Manufacturer of the Year at its annual awards held on November 30, 2021, in Offenbach, Germany. HMC was recognized for its breadth in producing a “diverse cast of characters” across its model lineup.

The Hyundai i20 N was crowned overall Car of the Year 2021, topping 25 contender brands and bagged the sub-award of Performance Car of the Year.

“You don’t win the top prize in our annual Awards without proving your all-round brilliance,” said Jack Rix, editor of Top Gear. “Having shone on British racetracks and B-roads, we decided to throw it in at the deep end to prove its greatness, with an adventure across the Australian outback…. A little Hyundai hatchback that did so well, so far out of its comfort zone… it was impossible to do anything but make it our overall Car of the Year.”
