Hyundai Veracruz Wins MotherProof.com Award as a Top New Vehicle Choice for Families

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., 02/13/2008 Motherproof.com, a site dedicated to providing women and mothers with useful and entertaining new car reviews, recognized the 2008 Hyundai Veracruz as a top new vehicle choice for families at the 2008 Mother Proof Awards.

The annual Mother Proof Awards selects the year’s best new vehicles for families across a broad range of categories. The Veracruz was awarded the “Top 3-Row SUV or Crossover” vehicle in a special presentation by Kristen Varela, Mother Proof’s editor and “chief mother,” during Women’s Day at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show.

“The Hyundai Veracruz has proven itself as a great family vehicle,” said Scott Margason, national manager of product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “It combines everything families are looking for in a Crossover Utility Vehicle – safety, quality, luxury and affordability — in a sophisticated, stylish package.”

The Veracruz was selected by Motherproof.com’s team of mom-reviewers based upon criteria recognized in Mother Proof reviews – ease of entrance and exit for all passengers, LATCH connector usability, ease of seatbelt use for kids in boosters, as well as other relevant family friendly features.
