Awards Keep Coming for Hyundai i30

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – March 20, 2009: The Hyundai i30 has been judged the Supreme Winner in the 2009 New Zealand AA Motoring Excellence Awards. The top of the range i30 CRDi turbo Diesel swept the field of 52 vehicles to be named both the winner of the compact car class as well as the best car overall.

The annual awards identify and reward excellence amongst new vehicles. They also provide New Zealand motorists with an independent assessment to assist with their car purchases.

Each vehicle is judged on design, performance, dynamics, practicality, execution, value for money and safety during the rigorous testing process that takes place over a week-long trial.

In winning the compact car class the i30 beat contenders from Honda, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Subaru and Toyota.

The award comes just as Hyundai Motor Company launches the new i30cw Wagon in both Australia and New Zealand.
