Ward's is probably best known for their annual list of best engines. Yet, a few years back they began publishing an additional list: "10 Best Interiors." To be considered for a spot on the list, vehicles must sport all-new or drastically improved interiors.

For twenty-twelve, 40 total autos met Ward's criterion for consideration. When it came down to the decision of which interiors made the top 10, a variety of factors were considered?

In a bold move, Hyundai has shuffled around some model names in its lineup. The Hyundai Santa Fe that we know and love will adopt the name Hyundai Santa Fe Sport this summer, while the 2012 Hyundai Veracruz will take the original Hyundai Santa Fe moniker. If the whole thing seems a bit confusing, it's because it is slightly. But the decision was made with consumers' best interest in mind.

The forthcoming 2013 Hyundai…

Hyundai knows that no matter how successful a sedan is, it still won't please everyone. That's why the brand is crafting its North American Car of the Year- the Hyundai Elantra- into several new model types for 2013. A 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe will arrive this spring and a five-door GT (Touring) hatchback will arrive by summer 2012. Both of these models were showcased at the Chicago Auto Show in early February.

When Hyundai first premiered its premium full-size Azera model in 2006, the auto company knew that its main purpose was to act as a placeholder until the company could construct a premium full-size model that could truly tackle the competitors in this market segment. Six years later, that model has arrived: the 2012 Hyundai Azera. The Azera originally premiered last November at the L.A. Auto Show, and now it's rolling off production lines…

Hyundai is not planning to ever add a minivan or a truck to their lineup. The answer is a definitive no. Rather, the Korean automaker is planning to flush out their lineup in 2013 and beyond with more crossover vehicles.

It makes perfect sense when you really think about it. Hyundai hasn't won countless awards over the past couple of years by building larger, less efficient vehicles. Rather, they've won the hearts of…

When we first check out the 2012 Hyundai Tucson on The Walking Dead, a hit show on the AMC channel, it was a little unbelievable. A post-apocalyptic, zombie-filled wasteland is the last place you'd expect to see a such a high quality vehicle, but there it was. Since then, Hyundai has gone on to be an official sponsor of the show, and the Tucson has made many more appearances throughout.

The Hyundai Crossover's…

The new 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is now available at Tameron Hyundai, serving Birmingham, AL. We are thrilled to announce that Hyundai is vowing the hybrid's lithium-ion battery will last the life of the car itself. They are even going so far as to cover it with a lifetime warranty. The previous warranty on the Sonata Hybrid battery was a limited 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.

What else should you know about the 2012 Hyundai…

We have no trouble telling you why the 2012 Hyundai Elantra is among the best values on the road today, and with good reason. The compact offering from the Korean automaker is known for its impressive fuel economy (40 mpg highway rating), attention-grabbing design, and "Mid-size interior room in a compact class footprint"¹

Don't simply take our word for it... take the Elantra for a test drive on our lot, located at 1595…

For proof that Hyundai is excelling like no other automaker today, look no further than the Korean automaker's November sales report. The makers of the award-winning Sonata sedan and Tucson Crossover sold a record 49,610 vehicles, which marks a 22-percent total sales increase and 24-percent retail sales increase for the month when compared to the previous year.

So far this year, Hyundai has sold 594,926 vehicles, which is over 100,000 more…
