Hyundai Motor took seventh place in a reliability survey by the U.S. magazine Consumer Reports, up six notches from the previous year. New models from Hyundai are edging closer to its competitors in reliability. Hyundai continues to make most reliable vehicles with only 11 problems per 100 vehicles against US cars which have 16 problems and European cars that have 19 problems.
The survey is based on 1.3 million consumers’ one-year evaluations of cars that were released in the U.S. between 1997 and 2006, and ranks models by how many problems they had. “31%
more reliability than industry average after getting top spot in JD Powers
is a major milestone. Many Japanese competitors are far behind Hyundai. Some
of them even have a negative mean percent score.” said a senior Hyundai official.
“This ranking demonstrates what tremendous improvements Hyundai has made in
reliability Hyundai performed better than German brands which got 19th, 27th & 36th rank. Even the US & European
brands have a poor score when compared to Hyundai. In the Consumer Reports survey, Hyundai’s Santa Fe sports utility vehicle named the most impressive car, while the Hyundai AZERA was named the most reliable new model. This is extremely promising for Hyundai customers here in Oman as they can find more reliable cars. Reliability is always a main concern for new car buyers. So the move-up in reliability ranking will give a boost to Hyundai sales, which are already up significantly this year, and help the automaker achieve its growth targets. There's no secret to Hyundai's performance. The success can be attributed to planning, preparation and great training. Hyundai had a brand new plant, a brand new product, a brand new workforce, and a stellar performance to write home about. Customers in Oman now don’t have to look further to find reliable models. The recent Annual Car Reliablility Survey conducted by Consumer Reports Magazine names Azera as a very reliable new model car. This survey has looked at models from 1997 to 2006. Azera also fetched a most staisfying 81% repeat intentions to buy the same car from a consumers. Azera a fine luxury sedan from Hyundai has its own story to tell. It is positioned as high quality premium car from the Hyundai stable. Azera bosts of features like one has never seen before in a Hyundai. Little touches of genius are added for greater driving pleasure the Azera is sure to move customers up in life. The Azera is defined by its modern looks, powerful character combined with great unique interior and varied equipment features The new car features more mainstream styling than any other car in its class: an all-new 235-bhp 3.3L V-6 with 5-speed automatic transmission; and a load of standard equipment, much of which is usually found only on expensive luxury vehicles. Hyundai expects buyers to turn to the Azera not only as luxury-car alternative, but also as a way to get more room and standard equipment. The Azera is brimming with high-content features, fashionable LED taillights in back, Xenon headlamps in the front, dual-zone climate control, 17 inch alloy wheels, ABS, eight airbags, power-adjustable front seats to name a few. The Azera is styled to fit in with its mainstream competitors, and its suspension is tuned for a soft, quiet ride. In its first year of production, the Azera has earned recognition for high quality, impressive safety features and, now, consumer reliability. Hyundai continues to impress owners with its dynamic styling, performance and safety, adding depth and diversity to its product portfolio. Buyers in this segment want many of the attributes found in high-end luxury cars, including a high level of comfort and convenience, but do not feel the need to pay extra for a premium brand name. More Azeras on roads is proof enough that Hyundai is well on its way to make a mark for itself in the luxury segment. The Azera trophy case has grown significantly with a number of honors and awards.
