Hyundai Sonata Named 2011 Rocky Mountain Car of the Year

April 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Edmond Hyundai is excited to tell you that our award-winning 2011 Hyundai Sonata has won yet-another award. The Rocky Mountain Automotive Press (RMAP) named our Sonata the Rocky Mountain Car of the year. This title was given to the Sonata during a ceremony at the Denver Auto Show in March.

Although there were several vehicles up for the title the Sonata took home the title as RMAP members described the Sonata as, “the most impressive all-around 2011 automobile.”

Over 75  new model vehicles from every major domestic and import automaker were given test-drive evaluation in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, and the RMAP members found the Sonata to be the best in areas including: performance, fuel economy, comfort, safety and value.

“We are thrilled that Sonata has received the Rocky Mountain Car of the Year award,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Sonata continues to attract consumers with its exciting design, class-leading fuel economy, and outstanding residual value, making it a tough competitor in the mid-size sedan market.”

About the all-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata:

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata features some of the most advanced technological options, such as a navigation system with voice activation and interactive touch screen through XM NavTraffic® and XM Data Services, integrated Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a Homelink transceiver. It has many standard safety features, including Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, and Anti-Lock breaking systems.

Sonata was the first midsize car to receive a five-star crash test rating under National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s new, more stringent 2011 system and an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick honor, placing it in a safety position unsurpassed in the industry.  Sonata is also available in Turbo and Hybrid versions, with Hybrid achieving class-leading 40 mpg highway fuel economy.

Other models awarded during the ceremony included the Cadillac CTS Coupe for 2011 New Vehicle of the Year, Jeep Grand Cherokee for 2011 Rocky Mountain SUV of the Year, Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD for 2011 Rocky Mountain Pickup Truck of the Year, and Ford Fiesta for the 2011 Rocky Mountain High-Mileage Vehicle of the Year.
