The results were impressive, with the mid-size sedan receiving excellent reviews and much praise from the group, exceeding the expectations of AutoPacific. In addition to that, the i45 managed to set new benchmarks for customer satisfaction in its class.
“With a final score of 775 from a possible 1000, the i45’s unique styling was rated as close to perfect and was a key influence in its overall superior performance and owner approval rating. The score of 775 has never before been achieved in any product category in the history of the AutoPacific survey, prompting the organization to create the award in recognition of this outstanding achievement,” stated the press release.
The i45 made its debut on the Korean and U.S. markets, where the car is badged “Sonata”. Hyundai decided to rename the model for the European and Australian markets, baptizing it “i45”.
“Hyundai’s all-new i45 represents a modern approach to the traditional mid-size sedan segment by using only advanced four-cylinder engines, emotional design and luxury features combined with Hyundai’s strong value proposition. A polished performance is delivered by the new 2.4-liter Theta II direct injection petrol engine, designed to achieve impressive fuel efficiency, lower emissions and minimum operating costs resulting in an across-the-board performance increase,” stated the press release.
