LOS ANGELES, CA – November 27, 2018 \u2013 (HISPANICIZE WIRE) – The 9th<\/sup> annual Hispanic Motor Press Awards recognizes the ten best new vehicles of 2019 for the Hispanic consumer. The awards are organized by the Hispanic Motor Press Foundation, a non-profit 501 (c)3 educational organization that helps educate Hispanics on finding the best value vehicles in the market through grassroots efforts and events.<\/p>\n

According to data from Polk, Hispanics are projected to spend $18 billion on new vehicles in 2019. Hispanic auto buyers will account for 25 percent of the growth in new-vehicle sales. The impact of Latinos continues to increase exponentially in the market, influencing auto companies to consider and incorporate the needs and wants of the largest minority group in the country.<\/p>\n

\u00abCalifornia is known for setting the trends in the automotive industry and with the largest Hispanic population in the U.S, it is the place to find out what we like,\u00bb said Ricardo Rodriguez-Long, President of the Hispanic Motor Press Foundation.<\/p>\n

The jury panel for the 2019 awards is comprised of Hispanic automotive journalists, bloggers, and industry influencers selected by the organization\u2019s advisory board. Twenty individuals and one jury director form the panel, evaluate the vehicles from their perspective keeping the Hispanic audience\u2019s preferences foremost in their minds. An educated consumer is a satisfied consumer and the awards provide Hispanic consumers with outstanding choices based on the judging panels own experiences with the vehicles.<\/p>\n

Every year there are over 250 new vehicle models to choose from. Selecting the ten best is a big responsibility for the jurors and they volunteer their time to test and compare the final selections. Auto manufacturers voluntarily submit their entries and the panel evaluates the vehicles on their features including pricing, safety, styling, comfort, technology, environmental impact, and overall value. The final ten vehicles are the best in their class and provide proven options as the best overall selection for the needs and desires of Hispanic families.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud and honored that the Hispanic Motor Press Awards are widely recognized by the automobile industry with multiple brands using the awards on their advertising and marketing campaigns,\u201d adds Rodriguez-Long. \u201cOur independence from specific media outlets and voluntary submissions by auto manufactures give our jury panel the ability to choose vehicles without any compromise or pressure, leveling the field for all participants\u201d.<\/p>\n

The ten vehicle winners represent the most significant new automobiles in the market and the best value in their class as it relates to the Hispanic family. The 2019 winners are:<\/p>\n
