St. Charles Hyundai in St. Louis carries all four Hyundai models that were named as the Best Value in America winners.

St. Peters, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/27/2012 -- St. Charles Hyundai is pleased to announce that they proudly carry all four of Vincentric's Best Value in America award winners at the dealership for St. Louis Drivers. The Hyundai Tucson, Accent, Elantra, and Genesis Coupe all won the award for the best value amongst other models in their respective categories.

The Hyundai Tucson won the award for the second year in a row for the Crossover Compact Entry-Level segment. The Hyundai Accent topped the Subcompact category, the Elantra in the Compact Sedan group, and the Genesis Coupe in the Mid-Size Coupe class. The awards reflect Hyundai's continue dedication to developing the best technology in fuel efficiency and driving mechanics while making the vehicles affordable.

Vincentric is a leader in the automotive industry for data compilation and analysis. The vehicles were chosen based on which vehicles had ownership costs that were less than expected. Vincentric derived the cost of ownership value by factoring in depreciation, fuel, insurance, opportunity cost, financing, maintenance, taxes and state fees, and repairs. The awards are a true reflection of vehicles that give back to the driver by having a quality vehicle, that holds resale value, and is affordable.

"Hyundai's four Vincentric Best Value in America winners reflect the gains Hyundai has shown over the past several years in terms of sales, styling, and overall market acceptance," said David Wurster, president, Vincentric. "This creates strong residual values, which in turn reduces depreciation cost, thereby lowering total cost of ownership for Hyundai vehicles."
