Loyal College Football Fan Wins Brand-New 2013 Hyundai Sante Fe Sport

During the 2012 college football season, Hyundai successfully engaged thousands of passionate fans through its multi-faceted college football marketing program. At 153 college football games last season, fans visiting Hyundai’s experiential “FanZones” had the opportunity to enter into a sweepstakes for a 2013 Santa Fe Sport. The one lucky fan, picked from more than 100,000 Facebook and on-site entries, was an Illinois fan, David Peterson from Lynn Center, Ill. Peterson was awarded the new Santa Fe Sport at Green Family Hyundai in Moline, Ill.

“As a big-time Illinois football fan, Santa Fe is the perfect car for weekend tailgates with its spacious layout and plush interior design,” said Peterson. “Santa Fe has great ride and handling and as someone who’s tall, is easy to get in and out of. I highly recommend taking Santa Fe for a test drive, you’re sure to like it.”

Every fan at Hyundai’s game-site displays was given a key chain with a radio frequency identification chip (RFID) that entered them in a Facebook contest for an all-new Santa Fe Sport. Fans visiting multiple Hyundai FanZone locations throughout the season were given additional sweepstakes entries each trip.

Hyundai’s college football marketing program partnered with 25 renowned powerhouse programs, connecting the loyalty of Hyundai owners with the passion and traditions of college football. From ‘The Swamp’ to ‘The Big House’ and 23 schools in-between, fans from all across the country experienced the loyalty and passion that Hyundai breathes into its products, creating a synergy between college football tradition and Hyundai’s pursuit of excellence.

“David Peterson is a perfect example of the die-hard sports and auto enthusiast this program was designed to reach,” said Steve Shannon, vice president, Marketing, Hyundai Motor America. “Our college football program last year was remarkably successful. Research from the fans who participated in our game-site FanZones shows an increase in brand opinion and awareness, along with extremely high consideration numbers. This program truly enabled us to connect with college football fans in a meaningful way.”

At select events, Hyundai also displayed its ‘Ultimate Tailgater Vehicle’ – a 2013 Santa Fe Sport modified to accommodate any and all pre- and post-game celebrations. The customized Santa Fe Sport was prominently featured in Hyundai’s college football creative and at on-site displays throughout the fall.

2013 Hyundai Sante Fe named one of Ward's 10 Best Interiors

The all-new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport’s upscale and highly-functional interior was acknowledged by the editors of WardsAuto, which named it to this year’s Ward’s 10 Best Interiors list. This recognition follows the 2012 Accent and 2012 Azera being named to the list last year.

“The latest version of the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is the essence of a midsize family CUV: well-crafted, tastefully appointed and affordable, despite a decidedly upscale look and feel,” said Tom Murphy, executive editor, WardsAuto. “Hyundai is consistently delivering excellent interiors that reinforce the brand’s ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ design language.”

WardsAuto editors have been studying the vehicles since February, selecting the 10 winners from a field of 46 vehicles with new or significantly refreshed interiors. The selection process mimics that of the Ward’s 10 Best Engines competition, in which editors rate vehicles based on their daily commutes in and around metro Detroit. Unlike 10 Best Engines, the interior competition has no price cap.
“The all-new Santa Fe Sport offers buyers a comfortable, functional and modern-looking interior,” said Christopher Chapman, chief designer, Hyundai Design North America. “Designed with families in mind, the interior features quality materials, intuitive controls and a spacious layout for the diverse needs of today’s active families.”

“The instrument panel is defined by its sculptural center vents from which the flowing form develops,” said Christopher Zarlenga, design manager of Santa Fe’s interior. “Color is also an important differentiator for the interior, emphasizing the wing shape outward from the center stack through the doors.”

During the selection process editors pay close attention to fit-and-finish, checking to see if seams are straight and match up cleanly on armrests and instrument panels. Editors climb in and out of back seats and third rows in larger CUVs and SUVs to check overall comfort levels, headroom and legroom. Another increasingly important category is driver information. Bluetooth® phone links are commonplace, so editors connect their smartphones and experiment with voice-activation systems.
Santa Fe Sport features a flowing interior look, designed for passenger functionality and comfort.

From the heated rear seats and available eight-way power driver seat, to a standard 40:20:40 folding-rear seat back, the vehicle boasts flexibility and a comfortable cabin for all passengers. Also standard on all Santa Fe models with cloth seating is a YES Essentials® seat fabric treatment that provides soil-resistant, anti-odor and anti-static properties for added longevity and livability. Special care and attention went into other interior details, such as an optional panoramic sunroof, which allows more natural light into the cabin, and premium window switch trim. Available on 2.4-liter models and standard on Turbo models is a push-button starter with proximity key and an electrochromatic gauge cluster color LCD screen. A heated steering wheel and sliding second row seats are optional first-class touches on Santa Fe Sport.

The 2013 interior winners will be honored during the WardsAuto Interiors Conference on May 22 at The Henry hotel in Dearborn, Mich. An extensive package profiling the winners is available on WardsAuto.com and in the May issue of WardsAuto World magazine.

Hyundai unveils the future of personal mobility, because walking doesn’t cut it

Despite modern advancements in sneaker technology, walking remains a slow way to go. Running, however, achieves acceptable velocity, but even with a smoothie made by Lance Armstrong, we tire quickly. The Segway never truly caught on for those not on government payrolls and, let’s face it, skateboards went out of fashion shortly after the first "Back to the Future."

Hyundai decided it’s time to change all this, and at the Seoul Motor Show, its engineers unveiled a moveable egg concept that promises speeds faster than a Segway, and a strange helmet that makes you look far cooler than any skateboarder could ever dream.


The egg is entitled the E4U – standing for Egg, Evolution, Electricity and Eco-friendliness. The result of an annual invention contest among Hyundai engineers in South Korea, the odd-egg was designed as a potential future of personal mobility: It can travel up to speeds just shy of 20 mph, weighs 176 lbs. (sounds mobile to me), and boasts a 24V battery attached to a 500W electric motor.

The steering appears to be controlled somewhat akin to the Segway, with an abundance of tilting, pivoting, and other unnatural behaviors required to induce motion.

According to tech site Nikkei Tech-On, who witnessed a demonstration in Seoul, the E4U stands on semispherical balls. The driver (rider?) must tilt the egg to move, but it appears to be in a rather counterintuitive way: you move forward by putting weight on your left foot, backwards by transferring the weight to your right foot, and left and right by tilting backwards and forwards respectively. Tech-On mentioned the driver stated, “Without some practice, it does not move in the desired direction.”

Hyundai make a point of emphasizing the streamlined stance of the E4U, because, you know, aerodynamics play a large role at speeds as high as 18 mph. Perhaps the best feature is the helmet, however. It appears to be your regular bicycle helmet with a clear plastic screen draped over the driver’s face; presumably to prevent bug splatter while maximizing operator shame.

While I appreciate the sentiment in trying to make personal mobility easier, I can’t imagine nipping to the shops aboard an E4U; my legs may be inferior to the propulsion generated by the world’s largest egg, but the humility of wearing that helmet would be too much to bear. What was wrong with the bicycle, again?

It's Maintenance Tip Monday at Fairfax Hyundai!

Clean brake dust off regularly!

Brake dust contains all sorts of nasty stuff. If you leave it too long, the combination of road grime, moisture and heat from your brakes will bake it on to your wheels. Brake dust normally clings to wheels with static electricity so a damp sponge and clean cold water is the best way to get it off.

"[Rene] was amazing - very laid back, pleasant and extremely knowledgeable." - H.D.

h.d. Mar 30, 2013

 

About a year ago, we posted a negative review about an experience we had here. The manager got in touch, e-mails were exchanged back and forth, and we subsequently bought a car from them. I think the coolest thing about this whole experience in the end was the fact that we'd written a negative review initially (after thinking about it a few weeks - we didn't want to be knee-jerk) and were treated perfectly well when we went back. Kristen worked hard to get my partner good out-the-door prices before we returned and connected us with sales rep, Rene. He was amazing - very laid back, pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. I'm pleased to be able to remove my negative review and replace it with thanks. While it's frustrating that it took a negative review to get the help anyone would deserve walking into a commercial establishment, they made this right and I can therefore recommend them.
