See which bold design changes placed these brands at the top of the list.
With each new generation of a vehicle comes an opportunity to reimagine the look, feel or overall driving experience. This year, ALG has recognized two brands for their distinctive design choices with the 2020 “Redesign of the Year” Award. This award identifies brands in both mainstream and premium categories with the strongest redesigns based on the overall degree of change and execution. Congratulations to the winners!
2020 Redesign of the Year Award – Mainstream
Hyundai Sonata
The all-new 2020 Hyundai Sonata is ALG’s mainstream redesign of the year award winner. Exemplifying a whole new design direction for what a midsize sedan can be, the new Sonata sports an aggressive coupe-like stance that evokes a luxury sedan with Hyundai’s new “Sensuous Sportiness” design language. The 2020MY Sonata is lower, wider, and longer than the previous generation and provides a slew of premium technology upgrades, including Hyundai digital key to unlock and start the engine from a smartphone, remote smart park and wireless cell phone charging. The upscale accompaniments also extend to the interior with an available 12.3” digital instrument cluster and 10.25” infotainment display, alongside a button-based gear selector and premium materials throughout the cabin. The all-new Sonata elevates the standard midsize sedan onto another level.
2020 Redesign of the Year Award – Premium
Chevrolet Corvette
Chevrolet showcases the true meaning of a sportscar by introducing the redesigned 2020 Corvette with a mid-engine. The 2020 Corvette’s new exotic design allows for a more aggressive wedge shape that was previously reserved for the upper echelon of other sports car manufacturers, while maintaining Corvette’s unique styling characteristics. Furthermore, its interior receives a completely driver-focused experience dressed in the finest leather. The bold steps taken by Chevrolet to redesign the Corvette for its eighth generation garners them the 2020 ALG Redesign of the Year.
