Hyundai's trophy shelf got a little heavier last week, as the automaker picked up three winds in the 2022 Newsweek Autos Awards. Two of the automaker's models placed tops in their respective categories, with the sporty and versatile Hyundai Kona being named "Best Small SUV," and the groundbreaking Santa Cruz Sport Adventure Vehicle earning the nod for "Best Small Pickup." Hyundai's win as the overall "Best Brand for Your Buck" is a testament to the company's commitment to crafting versatile, stylish, and well-equipped vehicles that are both compelling and accessible.
"Receiving Newsweek Autos' Best Brand for Your Buck, Best Small SUV for Kona, and Best Small Pickup for Santa Cruz awards confirms Hyundai's unceasing effort to produce vehicles perfectly tailored to U.S. buyer needs," stated Hyundai Motor North America's director of product planning Ricky Lao. "With powerful and efficient powertrains, generous advanced technologies, innovative design and comprehensive safety, Hyundai is satisfying its owners more than ever."
The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a uniquely flexible vehicle blending the best attributes of a pickup utility and crossover comfort and convenience. It offers a powerful available 2.5-liter turbo-four engine that can tow up to 5,000 pounds, as well as a versatile cargo bed and multi-position tailgate that provide myriad customization options.
The Hyundai Kona offers a superb small crossover experience. Its conveniently compact size and nimble handling make it an ideal city runabout for navigating busy streets and crowded parking lots. But despite its diminutive exterior dimensions, the Kona is impressively accommodating, with comfortable seating, configurable cargo space, and a wealth of appealing amenities. It's also available in sporty N Line, high-performance N, and battery-powered Kona Electric variants.
