Hyundai has picked up two major honours in the 2024 Business Car Awards, a celebration of excellence in the fleet sector judged by a panel of independent experts.
The Hyundai KONA/Hyundai KONA Electric emerged victorious ahead of big-selling models from some of the country’s most established mainstream manufacturers to take the award for Best Compact SUV.
And in the Driver’s Choice category, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N’s phenomenal run of success shows no sign of slowing, winning in a category of significantly more expensive offerings from dedicated luxury car and sports car manufacturers.
The Business Car magazine and website are recognised across the United Kingdom as leading resources for news on the fleet car market, and members of the editorial team were on hand to present the awards at a ceremony at the Hilton Bankside Hotel in London.
The second-generation Hyundai KONA follows on from the first by offering petrol, hybrid and electric powertrains. Highlights include the spacious and well-built interior, distinctive styling and on the Hyundai KONA Electric, a first-rate range of up to 319 miles. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N never feels slow, but it’s dynamically where it really impresses. The steering is wonderfully precise, and the handling amazes, disguising its two-tonne weight. Then there’s a likeable, natural feel to the N-tuned brakes. It even feels composed and comfortable at low speeds – and all at a 2% Benefit-in-Kind rate.
Since arriving in showrooms in 2023, the Hyundai KONA and Hyundai KONA Electric have proven to be a major hit with media and customers alike thanks to their winning blend of futuristic design, excellent cabin comfort and advanced tech.
In May, the IONIQ 5 N was also lauded as the world’s best electric performance car by CAR following a definitive seven-car test. The IONIQ 5 N is accessible through many of our fleet sales channels and programmes. It is proving a highly popular choice through Salary Sacrifice schemes which provide a simple and highly affordable platform for customers to access our high performance car through monthly salary deductions.
Hyundai has a very compelling product range, and it is immensely pleasing that the experts at Business Car have identified what a tremendous choice the KONA, KONA Electric and IONIQ 5 N make for the very specific demands of the fleet market. In particular, Hyundai has shown great leadership in electrification, and our cars are ideal for those businesses that want to reduce their carbon footprint but want vehicles that demand no compromise to the driving experience.
