Good news for Charlotte Hyundai drivers from Matthew Hyundai dealer, Keffer Hyundai. AAA recently named the Hyundai Santa Fe as a top vehicle for active families with dogs.

With more than 80 percent of dog owners taking their dogs along in their vehicles on errands, leisure rides and day trips, many drivers are taking the safety of their pets into consideration when shopping for a car.

“More than 45 million households in the U.S. Have a dog, and many are taking Fido along for the ride on a regular basis,” said John Nielsen, AAA National Director of Auto Repair and Buying Services. “There are several vehicles with features that can help keep pets safe, comfortable and easy to clean-up after while also addressing other driver desires such as sportiness, adventure or luxury.”

AAA Auto Buying’s team of experts test drove and reviewed hundreds of vehicles to narrow down their top vehicle picks for dog owners. The Hyundai Santa Fe was chosen as a top SUV for active families.
