Hyundai vehicles have been honored with an unprecedented trio of accolades from U.S. News & World Report, solidifying the brand’s position as a leader in the electric and hybrid vehicle market. The IONIQ 5 has been recognized as the Best Electric SUV, the IONIQ 6 has earned the title of Best Electric Car, and the Tucson Hybrid has taken home the Best Hybrid SUV award, surpassing all competitors in their respective categories.
U.S. News & World Report’s rigorous evaluation process involved a comprehensive assessment of 96 hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery-electric models. The winners were determined based on a meticulous analysis of quality, value, and performance, factoring in EPA efficiency data, pricing, and expert consensus from respected automotive media outlets. Furthermore, U.S. News & World Report considered reliability findings from J.D. Power and safety research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to ensure a holistic evaluation.
Hyundai’s dominance in this year’s awards is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. The IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 EVs have garnered widespread acclaim for their stylish designs, competitive range, and impressive charging capabilities, making them ideal choices for first-time EV buyers. The Tucson Hybrid, on the other hand, combines the best of a compact SUV with exceptional fuel economy, offering excellent potential for long-term value and sustainability.
“Winning three Best Hybrid and Electric Car Awards from U.S. News & World Report is a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing our customers with exceptional vehicles that meet their evolving needs,” said Olabisi Boyle, director, product planning, Hyundai Motor North America. “Our 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and Tucson Hybrid have all been recognized for their outstanding performance, quality, and value, motivating us to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation in the automotive industry.”
