Hyundai is recognised for outstanding value for money
Hyundai Motor Company Australia is widely recognised as offering its customers outstanding value for money not only by those customers but also by the nation’s leading motoring organisations.
While last year the RACV, RACQ, RAA, RAC and RACT Vehicle Operating Costs Survey acknowledged two Hyundai vehicles, this time around it was three, an outstanding result.
The least expensive new car to run in Australia is the Hyundai Getz, which is currently the top-selling vehicle in the Light Car sector. It costs just $114.65 per week, down from $122.83 last year. (The figures include an allowance for interest paid on the money borrowed to finance the car.)
The very popular Hyundai i30 SX petrol, a strong seller in the Small Car category, outperforms its peers at a cost of just $145.95 per week.
Hyundai's Tucson City topped the Compact SUV category at $179.08 per week. 'Winning these awards reinforces that Hyundai offers Australian consumers a complete package - namely outstanding value when purchasing a Hyundai product and exceptional value when owning and running a Hyundai car,' said Nick Aravanis, Hyundai's Director of Aftersales. 'We are extremely proud that Getz has not only won its category, but also the survey for the last three years running.'
Calculations for the Vehicle Operating Costs Survey are based on a five-year ownership period and average operating costs for private motorists including an average driving distance of 15,000km. The data was collected in the period leading up to early May 2009.*
Results of the 2009 surveys are available at the RACV, RACQ, RAA, RAC and RACT websites.
