Hyundai Motor Co., South Korea’s largest automaker, was sued by consumers in its home market after the nation’s transport ministry said the company overstated the fuel efficiency of one of its models.
About 1,500 owners of diesel-powered Santa Fe sport-utility vehicles built between May 2012 and June 2014 filed a complaint today with the Seoul Central District Court, the third of its kind, over the mileage exaggeration, said Kim Woong, managing partner at Yeyul, the law firm representing the consumers. A court official confirmed the filing. The official asked not to be named, citing court policy.
