Hyundai made a very fast and remarkable start to 2025 in the awards. Hyundai, who won exactly 20 different awards in January, was first selected for the women’s world car for 2025 (WWCOTY). This important award is determined by the votes of automotive journalists from all over the world, and in our country, Aicha Chizer participates in the vote as a member of the jury. Santa Fe, who was elected first with full evaluation by women’s jury members with her spacious seating and loading area, stylish design and excellent driving characteristics also achieved great success in the world -famous British automotive edition of What Car? Awards. Selected as a Seven -Sea Car of the Year, Santa Fe offers a high level of comfort for families on daily and long -term trips.
The prestigious What Car? The awards are held annually by the largest guide to buy cars in the United Kingdom. This year, Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 N and Interst also grabbed the awards, in addition to Santa Fe.
The “N E-Shift” feature, which simulates gearshift in an electric car, helped Ioniq 5 N win the prestigious “Technology Award” award. Ioniq 5 N also took first place as “Best Electric Hot Hatch”. Adding the daily sports features of electric cars with its full 650 horsepower, IONIQ 5 N has achieved significant success in sales in Bulgaria with 20 units so far.
The newest member of the model family of Hyundai, Intert, also received an award as a “Best City Small Electric Car”. Supporting its sweet and emblematic appearance with a 49 kWh battery and 360 km of mileage, Instri will soon be available for sale in Turkey.
The winners of What Car? The awards are selected from cars tested both on the road and on special runs in the last 12 months. After driving hundreds of new cars, the expert jury of What Car? Determines the ideal models for users by acting as a type of detailed purchase guide.
While ambitious models have been gathering awards, Good Design®, which stands out as the most respected design organization in the world, also showers Hyundai with praise. Hyundai Motor Company, which has won awards in the Graphic Design categories, three in the Transport, Lighting, Recycling and packaging categories, continued to take a step forward in recognizing the brand.
Hyundai Motor Group’s Robotics Lab also won five separate Good Design® awards, representing half of the winners in the Robotics category. With this, Robotics Lab’s Safety Robot won all four major world design awards: Red Dot, IF, IDEA and Good Design®.
