Hyundai Kona Awarded Editors' Choice Honor By Car And Driver

Kona Named a Top Pick in the Crossover Category

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., May 22, 2018 – Hyundai has again underscored its comprehensive quality signature across a diverse car and crossover lineup with another Car and Driver's Editors' Choice award, this time for the Hyundai Kona CUV. Hyundai Ioniq and Accent have also received Car and Driver Editors' Choice Awards this year.

Kona rides on an all-new CUV platform and is Hyundai's first B-segment crossover for the U.S. market, appealing to consumers with active lifestyles of all kinds. Kona's 'urban smart armor' exterior styling features voluminous, aggressive body styling complemented by a low and wide stance for great looks and confident handling in a variety of urban and adventure-oriented driving environments. It joins Hyundai's successful line-up of Hyundai crossovers for the U.S. market.

'Our new Kona crossover is a stylish and functional compact CUV, tailored to the needs of customers who pursue active lifestyles of all kinds,' said Mike O'Brien, vice president of Product, Corporate and Digital Planning, Hyundai Motor America. 'We're confident it will set new standards for its segment, with appealing design, cutting-edge connectivity and class-leading available safety features. As we continue to push the limit for driver experience and value, this recognition is a good reminder that we are changing what matters for our customers,' said Mike O'Brien, vice president, Product, Corporate and Digital Planning, Hyundai Motor America. 'Car and Driver is one of the most trusted names in automotive journalism and we're honored to have the Kona included in their Editor's Choice picks.'

Car and Driver's Editors' Choice awards are selected by combing through the hundreds of vehicles they test and review each year to highlight the standouts in each class. In-depth criteria, including the results of their Buyer's Guide in-depth testing, track performance, and value, help to narrow their choices to segment leaders, helping buyers decide which models are worth their consideration.
