Hyundai Genesis Named One of the Best New Cars of 2009

NORTH RYDE, Australia - January 27, 2009: Hyundai Motor Company’s new luxury flagship Genesis has been named a “Best New Car of 2009” in About.com Cars' third annual Best New Car List. This marks the first time that a Hyundai vehicle has been recognised in the About.com Cars annual list.

About.com Cars highlighted Genesis’ notable luxury features, smooth and quiet ride, spacious interior and value. “This car would make the Best New Car List no matter who built it – but I just love the fact that it’s a Hyundai.” said Aaron Gold, Guide to Cars for About.com.

The About.com Cars Best New Car recognition continues to showcase the quality, performance, safety and value available with Genesis. The 2009 Genesis was recently awarded ‘2009 North American Car of the Year’ and was also named a ‘Top 5 Luxury Car for 2009’ by NADAguides.com. In addition, Genesis earned five-star crash test ratings for both front and side by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The Genesis is sold in North America with technology and features comparable to the world’s leading premium sports sedans at a value Mercedes and BMW can’t match.
