It’s one thing to claim that a vehicle the all-around best performer in its class, but it’s another to have a science group back it up. Yes, the Automotive Science Group (ASG) has named the Hyundai Sonata to have the Best All-Around and Economic Performance in its class. According to hyundainews.com, “the organization recognized the Sonata as a market segment leader that continues to set industry standards. The accolades are the result of ASG’s annual all-around performance assessment, the Automotive Performance Index (API), which is a combined analysis of environment, social and economic performance, including cost of ownership when considering purchase and operating costs across the first 6.5 years (or 87,594 miles) of vehicle ownership.” The Accent, Tucson, and Santa Fe Sport were all also named “Best All-Around Performance” for their class.
