Further Success For Hyundai At What Car? Car Of The Year Awards

Hyundai has had a great start to 2022 with the SANTA FE being named 'Large SUV of the year' in the What Car? Car of the Year Awards. Judges also named the Hyundai i10 as the 'Best Small Car for the City' and the Hyundai TUCSON 'Best Family SUV for Practicality' in the magazine's 'Best Buy' categories, in which the SANTA FE also won 'Best Plug-in Hybrid for Big Families'.

Steve Huntingford, What Car? editor said:

"Hyundai has proven that small changes can make all the difference, with the addition of hybrid and plug-in hybrid power options turning this already good large SUV into a great one. Running costs are reduced and refinement improved. Plus, you still get a well-controlled ride, outstanding value for money and a nicely finished interior with seating for seven."

With its highly efficient petrol engine boating impressively low running costs, the Hyundai i10 benefits from the same technology and intelligent safety features found on Hyundai's larger vehicles, in a more compact city car.

Steve Huntingford, What Car? editor, had nothing but praise for the innovative i10:

"Living in the urban sprawl demands specific attributes from a car. These include light controls to take the effort out of manoeuvring, for example, as well as a peppy engine and a ride that's comfortable enough to soak up potholes with ease. And the Hyundai i10 excels in all these areas. However, don't go thinking that it's only good at low speeds – once the road opens up, it impresses with nicely weighted steering and plenty of grip."

Before earning the title of What Car? 'Best Family SUV for Practicality', the TUCSON also gained other awards to it's name including Car Buyer 'Car of the Year', Auto Express 'Mid-Size SUV of the Year', and Scottish Car of the Year 'Best Family SUV'. The Hyundai TUCSON offers a vast range of drive trains including petrol, mild hybrid, hybrid and plug-in-hybrid variants and has an unmatched family appeal.

Steve Huntingford, What Car? editor, complimented the family capabilities of the TUCSON:

"Growing families can breathe easy with the Hyundai TUCSON, knowing that even in a field of outstanding rivals, none can come close to beating it for sheer family friendliness. There’s simply masses of space inside, whether you’re talking about how much room your passengers will have to stretch out, or how much you can fit into the boot. What's more, its rear seats recline if anyone fancies a snooze, or the backrests can fold down in a versatile 40/20/40 split."

Ashley Andrew, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor UK, commented on Hyundai's recent successes:

"Hyundai’s success in the 2022 What Car? Car of the Year Awards is especially gratifying as it highlights the appeal of our vehicles, from our smallest car, the i10, to our largest SUV, the Hyundai SANTA FE. It really reinforces the strength of our current range which offers customers a wide range of choice to suit their individual needs."

Financial Disclosure

F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach for a new car purchase is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow.

Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to.
