“Having three vehicles recognized with Best Cars for the Money awards by U.S. News & World Report is a testament to the thoughtful engineering our vehicles offer,” said Ricky Lao, director, product planning, Hyundai Motor North America. “Our product line-up delivers a compelling blend of innovative design, efficiency and sharp driving dynamics, combined with surprise and delight features.”

“With Best Cars for the Money wins in three unique categories, Hyundai has demonstrated that it delivers great vehicles that are strong values,” said Jim Sharifi, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars. “The Elantra Hybrid, IONIQ 5 and Tucson stand out among the competition as cars that provide a rewarding ownership experience and low ownership costs.”

Covering 12 automotive categories, the U.S. News & World Report awards put a spotlight on new cars and SUVs that combine long-term value with excellent ownership experiences. Scores are based on safety and reliability data, as well as the collective opinion of the automotive press. The awards also factor in real-time transaction prices and five-year total cost of ownership.
