St. Peters, MO -- (SBWIRE) --11/23/2011 -- St. Charles Hyundai is pleased to carry the 2012 Hyundai Elantra, the 2012 ALG Residual Value Award winner, at their St. Louis Hyundai dealership. With its sporty profile and upscale interior, combined with Hyundai’s image of quality, the 2012 Elantra has the perfect combination of features for this award.

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra stands out from the competition of the compact segment with its innovative style, content, and standard fuel economy. With more interior volume and loads of comfort and convenience features, the 2012 Elantra is still available at an attractive starting price.

The ALG Residual Value Award for the 2012 Elantra recognizes Hyundai’s outstanding achievements in producing new vehicles that are predicted to retain the highest percentage of their original price after a conventional three-year period.

“Strong residual value is an important element in Hyundai’s overall value equation, reducing the overall cost of ownership and allowing us to offer customers the Hyundai Assurance Trade-In Value Guarantee,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America. Hyundai’s Trade-In Value Guarantee eliminates concern about depreciation by giving Hyundai owners a guaranteed value for their vehicle in months 24 through 48 of ownership.

ALG is the leading provider of data and consulting services to the automotive industry; they publish the “Automotive Lease Guide” – the standard for the Residual Value projections. Annual award winners are determined through careful study of the competition, historical vehicle performance, and industry trends. The key factors include vehicle quality, production levels relative to demand, and pricing and marketing strategies that affect ALG’s residual value forecasts.
