Save at the Pump with Hyundai

If you're ready to reduce your carbon footprint or find ways to save more money this year, fuel consumption is one of the best places to start. Hyundai has engineered the models in its lineup to offer outstanding fuel-saving features. From hybrid powertrains to aerodynamic designs, Hyundai keeps the environment—and your wallet—in mind. 

Variable Valve Timing

Hyundai’s variable valve timing technology is used in many engine options to increase performance as well as fuel economy and efficiency. It works by altering the timing of the valves by shifting the phase angle of the camshaft. If that sounds like a bunch of jargon you don’t really care about, just know that VVT equals better efficiency. This technology is used throughout the Hyundai lineup on most models.

Turbo Powertrains

Much like variable valve timing can improve efficiency, so can turbochargers. The application of turbochargers may have started with the desire for faster vehicles, but it has an extra benefit. By using a turbocharger, Hyundai can use a smaller engine with less horsepower without creating a vehicle that feels sluggish. Small turbos provide the power you need to merge onto highways or pass another car but don’t drink fuel when you’re just driving normally. A great example is the Veloster N equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. With 275 horsepower, you might expect this car to be expensive at the pump but the hot hatch still achieves 28 mpg on the highway.*

Hybrid & Electric Performance

Hybrid models are an outstanding way to employ the technology of electric models with more ease of use and flexibility. Popular models like the Tucson, Santa Fe, Elantra, and Sonata are offered as hybrids, giving drivers plenty of flexibility when it comes to choosing a more efficient gasoline-powered car. For those ready to fully commit to electric, the Kona Electric and IONIQ Electric are amazing options with great range and generous features. It doesn't get much more fuel-efficient than that!
