With more than the circulation of 120,000 copies a year, Saudi Auto Magazine picks passenger car and recreational vehicle models every year. The K9, launched last year in the Middle Eastern market, won high points in state-of-the-art safety and convenience features.
Meanwhile, the Santa Fe of Hyundai Motor was selected as the "2012 SUV of the Year" award by Automan Magazine, Oman's automotive magazine. The Santa Fe debuted in the Middle East late last year.
A company official said, "The Middle East is one of the world's fastest-growing markets based on the fat wallet. On the back of the selection of the K9 and Santa Fe as the cars of the year, we want to expand our presence in the regional markets where high-end models such as Equus and Genesis have been launched."
