In issuing these awards Good Housekeeping worked with Car and Driver, the leading authority on all things automotive in order to screen a preliminary list of 160 vehicles down to 40 models. Then Good Housekeeping’s engineers assessed the vehicles’ criteria on performance, efficiency, infotainment systems, usability, storage, family friendliness, intuitive design, and more! Jane Francisco, Editor-in-Chief, Good Housekeeping, had this to say about the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Limited:
"The Sonata Hybrid not only offers buyers great value at the pump, it’s also packed with technology and convenience features like blind spot detection, lane-departure and forward collision warnings. The Sonata had the best gas mileage, delivering an incredibly quiet and relaxing ride in our tests."
For the 2016 model year, the Hyundai Sonata Limited was
remodeled from the ground up. It now features a 2.0-liter “Nu” GDI
four-cylinder engine that comes paired to a six-speed automatic transmission
and more powerful 38kW electric motor. Mike O’Brien, vice president, product
and corporate planning, HMA, had this to say about the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Limited:
"Most hybrids in the mid-size segment lack a sense of connection between the car and driver. The Sonata Hybrid was designed and engineered to offer fuel efficiency, without sacrificing the joys of driving. Receiving this award from both top men’s and women’s publications shows the car’s unmatched ability to exceed the needs of customers from different lifestyles."
