22 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday June 25, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Hyundai Sonata wins award for interior design The 2009 Hyundai Sonata interior features an upscale, flow-through design reminiscent of the Hyundai Veracruz design that helped it win an "Interior of the Year" award in the category of "Best Redesign" at the annual "Auto Interior of the Year Awards" conducted by Ward's AutoWorld magazine. The Sonata cabin is warm and inviting, like comfort food at the end of a hard day and manages to raise Hyundai's brand image as a benchmark for interior design. The 2009 Hyundai Sonata was named an "Interior of the Year" award winner in the category of "Best Redesign" at the annual "Auto Interior of the Year Awards" conducted by Ward's AutoWorld magazine. "This award is particularly gratifying for our team," said Dan Vivian, Hyundai director of Design Engineering. "We started with a world-class car, listened to customer feedback telling us they wanted an improved interior, and went to work to make the 2009 Hyundai Sonata stand up and stand out against every other car in its class." The team at Hyundai's America Technical Center Inc. (HATCI) in Superior Township, Mich led the 2009 Hyundai Sonata redesign. HATCI's role is to design, develop and test Hyundai products sold in North America. The 2009 Sonata was the first Hyundai product program led by the team in North America. The Sonata is built at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, near Montgomery. "Talk about a comeback!" Ward's AutoWorld Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter writes on his Sonata score sheet. "Hyundai has gone from mediocre to best-in-class with Sonata." Ward's editors also noted the new Sonata has everything a buyer wants in this daily-driver sector: a spacious back seat and trunk, good ergonomics, snug seats, premium-looking gauges, a sleek sense of style and quality materials. The Sonata cabin is warm and inviting, like comfort food at the end of a hard day and manages to raise Hyundai's brand image as a benchmark for interior design. Ward's editors served as judges for the competition, evaluating 36 vehicles in March and April. The pool consisted of completely new vehicles or existing models that received significant interior redesigns for 2008. Editors submitted score sheets ranking the materials selected, ergonomics, safety, value, comfort, fit-and-finish and design harmony for each vehicle evaluated. Points also were awarded based on a driver's ability to quickly access vital information, such as navigation routes, diagnostic data and fuel economy.
