Hyundai Genesis Named Canadian Car Of The Year
The 2009 Hyundai Genesis was today named Canadian Car of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto.
This is the first time a Korean manufacturer has won the Canadian award.
To win Canadian Car of the Year honours, the Hyundai Genesis was first named Best New Luxury Vehicle Under CAD$50,000 by AJAC, defeating several other well-known luxury brands to win its category and become eligible for the overall Car of the Year award. In rigorous testing, the Genesis surpassed competitors such as the Audi A3, Acura TL and Infiniti G37X when areas such as engine refinement, ride comfort, exterior styling, visibility, roominess and comfort were evaluated.
Hyundai’s Genesis has received many accolades since its arrival in the marketplace.
Among its accomplishments, the Genesis has also been recognized as North American Car of the Year, and its all-new 4.6 litre Tau V8 engine was named one of "Ward’s 10 Best Engines" for 2009 by Ward’s Auto World, marking the first time a Hyundai engine has appeared on the prestigious "Ward’s 10 Best Engines" list.
