Santa Fe Honored with “Best New Crossover” Award

PENSACOLA, Fla. - April 29, 2013 - PRLog -- The 2013 Santa Fe has been named the “Best New Crossover” at the 2013 Atlanta International Auto Show. The Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association, or GAAMA chose to honor to the 2013 Santa Fe because of its “handsome new design, luxurious interior, impressive technologies, accessible pricing and the flexibility for 5 and 7 passenger configurations." It's these reasons that the 2013 Santa Fe is a popular model at Allen Turner Hyundai, one of the top Hyundai dealerships around Pensacola (http://www.allenturnerauto.com/).

Mike O'Brien, vice president of Product and Corporate Planning for Hyundai Motor America, responded enthusiastically to the award. “It’s an honor to receive the award for Best New Crossover for the 2013 Santa Fe,” he said. “GAAMA is full of exceptional automotive media and this accolade proves that the all-new Santa Fe has what it takes to succeed in a very competitive market.”

A panel of judges made up of automotive journalists all around the southern United States closely inspected vehicles in all classes on the floor of the Atlanta Auto Show. Judges are particularly looking for vehicles that combine value, innovation, features and performance.

The Santa Fe lives up to this expectation by offering drivers some of the best standard equipment available, including:

    •      A base, 2.4L 190hp engine

    •      Bluetooth connectivity for hands free calls and music streaming

    •      Sirius XM radio

    •      40/20/40 folding 2nd row bench

Besides its fantastic list of standard features, the new, long wheel base, 7 passenger option is new for the 2013 model year and offers larger families the chance to enjoy the styling and features of the Santa Fe.

The 2013 Santa Fe has also been honored as a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=415). Strong performance in safety tests and a good demonstration of its ability to protect passengers in the event of a crash help to strengthen the Santa Fe's standing as great family vehicle.
