Hyundai models have been crowned as winners in the prestigious 2023 Auto Express New Car Awards. The models which impressed the judges are the All-New Hyundai KONA, Hyundai i10, and Hyundai TUCSON.
Auto Express is one of the top automotive magazines in the UK, providing news and reviews. The judges were experienced road testers, and they were led by the Editor-in-Chief of Auto Express, Steve Fowler. The award ceremony was held at London’s Barbican Conservatory.
"Hyundai continues to do spectacularly well at the Auto Express New Car Awards with another Car of the Year – this time the KONA – plus supporting victories for the TUCSON and the updated i10."
"We’ve been blown away by the KONA, which is now a much more mature and spacious package in a number of electrified flavours. It’s a great looking car that will be easy to live with and cost-effective to own – a brilliant family SUV."
"The same can be said of its bigger brother, the TUCSON, which is still impressing with its quality, comfort and tech. And the little i10 proves that affordable motoring is still out there and doesn’t come at the expense of comfort and kit."
Steve Fowler, Auto Express Editor-in-Chief
