Fuel Efficient Autos

Your Hyundai dealer near Somerville is proud to sell some of the best value cars in the world. In addition to reliability and affordability, Hyundai is well known for its dedication to fuel economy.

Recently, Hyundai Motor America made an announcement that it intends to reach a fleet average gas mileage of 35 mpg five years before the new fuel efficiency regulations set in. By 2015, Hyundai intends to reach its goal. The announcement was made at the Los Angeles Auto Show, where Hyundai also unveiled the Hyundai Sonata hybrid sedan, its first hybrid vehicle.

Hyundai expects to overtake Honda and Toyota in terms of fuel economy by 2015. Their campaign to increase fuel efficiency will be known as “Hyundai Blue Drive,” and will involve lithium battery-powered hybrids, gas engines that are turbocharged and that have direct injection, as well as plug in hybrid cars and fuel cell vehicles. In addition, Hyundai intends to keep its low-cost strategies for increasing fuel efficiency, such as aerodynamics, low resistance tires and engine calibrations. Beginning in 2009, Hyundai will offer “Blue” versions of the Accent and Elantra.

Hyundai is approaching its fuel efficient vehicles from the value perspective. It is Hyundai’s intention to be able to provide high economy vehicles at an affordable price.

Hyundai is approaching the financial crisis in the United States is a unique way. The South Korean auto maker has announced that car buyers who lose their jobs or that declare bankruptcy within one year of buying a Hyundai cars will be allowed to return the vehicle without penalty or without a negative impact on the buyer’s credit rating.

This announcement is designed not only to help struggling consumers, but to help the auto maker as well. It should help to increase sales of Hyundai cars at a time when car sales are down everywhere.

The program, known as the Hyundai Assurance program, will provide insurance for the buyer for the first year after the car is purchased. The program will pay the difference between the value of the vehicle and the buy-back price of the vehicle, up to a total of $7,500.

It remains to be seen how much the program will help struggling auto makers, but the company has high hopes. While some other localized dealers are offering similar programs, Hyundai currently is the only automaker offering this kind of a program at every one of its dealerships.

Some auto dealers have been creating a lot of hype about their inexpensive models, but some Hyundai cars still hold the crown for least expensive.

The 2009 Hyundai Accent has been dubbed the “country’s most dependable sub-compact car,” but it is also one of the most affordable as well. The new model has a base price of about $9,970, which is currently the least expensive new car on the market.

“Accent is the perfect vehicle for a customer looking for the ideal mix of price, dependability and fuel economy,” said Mark Dipko, a manager at Hyundai. “And as a brand known the world over for its value, we feel it is important to retain our crown as the most affordable new car available.”

The new version will have modifications that reduce rolling resistance and engine friction along with other changes for better fuel economy.

These are just a few of the exciting things happening with Hyundai. Visit your Springfield dealer of Hyundai cars today to see some of these exciting features.

At the Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2008 Hyundai concept cars drew a lot of attention. In particular, the Hyundai HED-5 i-Mode was one of the more popular attractions for the fifth largest automaker in the world.

The reviewers at Kicking Tires described the concept car as “futuristic-looking,” but the insides of these Hyundai cars are much more interesting than the outsides. One of the most interesting aspects of this new car is that it can comfortably hold six adults even though it has a more compact size.

The automaker also displayed some other technologies that engineers are working on. The turbocharged engines are going to improve fuel efficiency by as much as 20 percent! The new engines are going to go in various Hyundai cars, but the automaker hasn’t released any more information about which models just yet. The engines will also have about 286 horsepower with four-cylinder engines for drivers who want to feel the power without worrying about fuel efficiency.

The 2008 Hyundai concept car already has the “go ahead” for production, but there aren’t any specific plans as to when it is going to launch or hit dealer showrooms.

The Hyundai Motor Company announced plans last week that its fleet of Hyundai cars will average about 35 miles per gallon by the year 2015.

That might not sound like big news, but it is fairly significant because the new fuel economy regulations are giving automakers until the year 2020 to make this happen. That means Hyundai cars will likely be way ahead of its competition by about five years! “We’re taking fuel efficiency higher and faster than any other carmaker. We’re going to pass Toyota and Honda by 2015,” said the vice president of product development at Hyundai. Those are fairly lofty goals for the fifth largest automaker in the world, but its track record shows that Hyundai isn’t afraid to take risks, set high goals and accomplish them.

The new plans were announced at the world-famous Los Angeles Auto Show where many other manufacturers are showcasing their latest concept cars and features. One of the Hyundai cars showcased at this year’s show was the company’s first hybrid Sonata that will be available on dealer lots in 2010.

The new fuel-efficient campaign for Hyundai cars is called the “Hyundai Blue Drive.” Keep an eye out for these words in the next couple years and you’ll know where you can find the cars and technology of the future.

At a time when domestic automakers are looking for a financial bailout from the federal government, the 2008 Hyundai October sales figures are the company’s best figures ever.

The 2008 Hyundai sales are due to some of the automaker’s smaller cars that are better on fuel economy. The i10, i30 and several others are attractive to buyers interested in nice cars with a better fuel economy, explaining the surge in sales in October for Hyundai cars.

In terms of numbers, global sales of Hyundai cars were up about 12 percent from the same time period in 2007. Overseas sales were also up in October 2008 from last year even though Hyundai diverted some shipments due to fewer available supplies.

But smaller cars aren’t the only thing that helped increase 2008 Hyundai sales. Markets like the Middle East and Russia were more interested in cars that ranged from small vehicles to the Tucson compact SUV. While these models are good on gas, they are not as good as the smaller cars like the i10 and i30.

The most impressive numbers probably occurred in the India and China markets, however, where sales of the i10 increased by about 66 percent!

Regardless of how you look at it, it’s time to start winterizing your Hyundai cars for protection through the colder months. Hyundai cars will take care of you as long as you take care of them. Here are some basic things you can do to protect your Hyundai cars from now until spring arrives.

Get a flush and fill. This type of service is for your radiator and cooling system. A flush and fill empties your current coolant and replaces it with new coolant. This will ensure it lasts through the winter months with fresh antifreeze.

Replace the wiper blades. If you haven’t changed the wiper blades lately, do it before winter hits. You don’t want to find out your blades are bad when the snow and rain is hitting your windshield as you’re driving.

Check the spare tire and tools. Make sure your spare tire is full and you have the proper tools to change a tire. Or you can do what I do and just join an auto service. Who wants to change a tire outside in the winter if they don’t have to?

Have some supplies available. It probably won’t happen, but you could get into an accident on a deserted road in the winter and you might be missing for a few hours or even days. Keep some blankets and food in your car as well as emergency supplies if you want to survive in such an event.

Use these tips in combination with some common sense and your Hyundai cars will stick with you all winter!

The folks at Connecticut’s Courant publication have reviewed many cars over the years. They have also done many Hyundai reviews.
