Product Quality
Azera
With “The Art of Perfection” as its main communication concept, Azera now takes
its place as Hyundai’s premium sedan with an emphasis on a refined and modern
image, comfortable driving performance and top-level quality to meet the needs of
customers who desire the highest standards of engineering and comfort.
The Azera has been selected as the official car of 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™,
a fitting tribute to a car designed to compete directly against established European
competitors.
Azera combines high quality materials and construction with European style and
innovative technology. Azera has an impressive road presence and sense of refine-
ment which takes the Hyundai brand to its zenith.
Part of our commitment to giving you the safest possible car is our adherence to
NCAP testing procedures and requirements. Every facet of the Azera has been
internally tested at our advanced in-house facilities to ensure that it complies with
or exceeds these high standards. As a result large diameter disc brakes, active
headrest, an airbag system, reversing safety sensors and ESP, a system developed
to electronically coordinate ABS and Traction Control System, come as standard
features of the Azera.
Sonata
Hyundai Motor Company’s Sonata captured one of Popular Mechanics’ inaugural
Automotive Excellence awards, winning the safety category. The award was
announced in the October 2005 issue of Popular Mechanics. With a readership in
excess of nine million, the monthly is one of the largest and most trusted
magazines published in the U.S.A.
This is the latest in a series of accolades bestowed on the Sonata. In February
2006 MotorWeek, America’s most popular automotive videomagazine show,
recognized the Hyundai Sonata as the Best Family Sedan in its 2006 “Drivers
Choice Awards.” The recipients of the 12-category awards were announced during
a press conference at the Chicago Auto Show.
The all-new Sonata sets a new standard for safety equipment with six standard
airbags (dual front, front seat-mounted side-impact and front and rear passenger
side curtain airbags), standard active front head restraints, standard ABS and, for
the first time in the midsize sedan segment, standard Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) with Traction Control.
The midsize Sonata is the best-selling sedan in the Hyundai product line and the
first 2006 model rolled off the production line in March at Hyundai’s all-new
manufacturing plant in Montgomery, Alabama. The all-new Sonata was designed
specifically to meet the needs of the American consumer and is the product of
three years of intensive collaborative development at Hyundai’s global R&D
operations, including those in Michigan and California.
