TEXT-S&P assigns Hyundai Auto Receivables 2013-A notes preliminary rating

OVERVIEW
-- Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2013-A's issuance is an ABS
securitization backed by prime auto loan receivables.
-- We assigned our preliminary ratings to the class A, B, and C notes.
-- The preliminary ratings reflect our view of the transaction's credit
enhancement, the timely interest and principal payments made under the
stressed cash flow modeling scenarios, and the collateral characteristics of
the securitized pool of prime automobile loans, among other factors.

NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's) Jan. 22, 2013--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
today assigned its preliminary ratings to Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust
2013-A's $1,313,580,000 asset-backed notes series 2013-A (see list).

The note issuance is an asset-backed securitization backed by prime auto loan
receivables.

The preliminary ratings are based on information as of Jan. 22, 2013.
Subsequent information may result in the assignment of final ratings that
differ from the preliminary ratings.

The preliminary ratings reflect our view of:
-- The availability of approximately 12.2% credit support at the
preliminary 'AAA (sf)' rating level, 10.6% at the 'AA+ (sf)' level, and 7.4%
at the 'A+ (sf)' level (based on stressed cash flow scenarios), including
excess spread, which provides more than 5.0x, 4.5x, and 3.33x coverage of our
1.40%-1.60% expected loss range for the notes.
-- The ratings on the notes remaining within one category of the 'AAA
(sf)', 'AA+ (sf)', and 'A+ (sf)' ratings under a moderate stress scenario of
2.0x our expected net loss level. This is consistent with our credit stability
criteria (for more information, see "Methodology: Credit Stability Criteria,"
published May 3, 2010).
-- The credit enhancement in the form of subordination,
overcollateralization, a reserve account, a yield supplement
overcollateralization amount, and excess spread.
-- The timely interest and principal payments made under the stressed
cash flow modeling scenarios that we believe are consistent with the assigned
preliminary ratings.
-- The collateral characteristics of the securitized pool of prime
automobile loans.
-- Hyundai Capital America's (formerly known as Hyundai Motor Finance
Co.) extensive securitization performance history since 2001.
-- The transaction's payment and legal structures.
