The ASG rated all 2016-model-year vehicles available in the North American market through a data-driven automobile assessment. The assessments were based on thousands of algorithmic calculations and data points to determine the award winners. The ASG uses its Automotive Performance Index to make these calculations. The API is a combination of conventional specifications as well as environmental, economic and social performance indicators. Colby Self, managing director of ASG, had this to say about the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport:
"ASG recognizes Hyundai’s continued leadership on corporate social responsibility, producing vehicles that consumers can be proud to own. The top-rated 2016 Santa Fe Sport is one such example that leads in a hypercompetitive market segment by delivering noteworthy all-around performance that strikes an intelligent balance between environmental, social and economic performance considerations."The impressive and efficient 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is powered by either a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. It also comes equipped with all the latest in vehicle technology and hands-free systems. Brandon Ramirez, senior group manager, product planning, Hyundai Motor America, had this to say about earning the award:
"We are proud the Santa Fe Sport is recognized by the Automotive Science Group as a market segment leader by setting new standards. As the crossover segment continues to break record sales, Hyundai is well positioned to meet the expectations of these shoppers by delivering crossovers with exceptional quality, value and technology"
