Hyundai awarded top accolades in CANSTAR Blue survey
When it comes to customer satisfaction and value for money, Australians have again chosen Hyundai over other automotive brands in an independent survey conducted by the country’s leading market research professionals, Colmar Brunton, on behalf of CANSTAR Blue.
CANSTAR Blue commissioned Colmar Brunton to survey 7,500 Australian consumers to measure their satisfaction across a range of products and services. The results are collated from car purchasers within the survey group who have made a new car purchase from a dealership within the last three years.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Hyundai was voted by the customers as offering the best value for money in the automotive category. Survey results also found Hyundai sedan owners to be the most satisfied overall of all sedan customers, ahead of leading Japanese brands and above the local favourites. This is testament to Hyundai’s mid-size sedan, the i45, which combines advanced powertrain technology with practical and luxurious features to provide an exceptional ownership experience.
“This is a strong endorsement of Hyundai’s commitment to quality and value for Australian buyers,” said Oliver Mann, Hyundai Motor Company Australia’s Director Marketing. “We are delighted our cars and our dealers have been recognised by consumers in this highly respected survey.”
“We launched CANSTAR Blue to give Australians a free online resource to help them with their key purchasing decisions by making it simple for them to learn from the experiences of other consumers. It is essentially a guide to product excellence as voted by customers.” said Canstar Blue manager Rebecca Logan.
