Hyundai announced that it has achieved a double victory at the ‘Autotrader Drivers’ Choice Awards 2025′, with the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 being recognized as the “Best Car for Urban Driving” and the new Hyundai Santa Fe being voted the “Best 7-Seater Vehicle on the market”.
These awards, previously known as the ‘Autotrader New Car Awards’, are unique in that they are decided by the drivers themselves. This year, over 225,000 drivers across the UK participated in an online survey, sharing their experiences with their cars. The results determined the winners in 20 of the 25 categories.
Participants rated their vehicles based on 16 criteria, including performance, reliability, design, running costs, overall satisfaction, and likelihood of recommendation, providing a comprehensive perspective on the ownership experience.
“It is always gratifying to receive awards, but it is even more special when they come from the users themselves. That is why we are very pleased to see the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 being named the Best Car for Urban Driving and the new Hyundai Santa Fe the Best 7-Seater in the ‘Autotrader Drivers’ Choice 2025’ awards. There is no greater validation than the recognition from those who live daily with our models.”, said Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai & Genesis UK.
