The 40 mpg Hyundai Elantra 2012 (Model Year) named to KBB’ 10 best green cars list.Hyundai has spent the last few years forging a reputation as being the biggest up and comer in the automotive world, so they must have been delighted when their 2012 Hyundai Elantra was named as one of the 10 Best Green Cars of 2012 on the Kelley Blue Book website at kbb.com.The timing of the announcement was perfect, coming as it did when gas prices were soaring and Earth Day was right around the corner. Fuel-efficiency was the number one consideration that the KBB editors took into account when making their decision.The editors at kbb.com were quick to point out that the elusive 40 mpg mark was one that many non-hybrid cars simply couldn’t attain.They went on to say that Hyundai Elantra 2012 was easily able to hit that mark, regardless of trim level, with the majority of that success being down to the fuel-efficient 1,8L 4-cylinder engine.They also praised the overall look and price point of the 2012 Elantra, which also helped push it into the top 10. That lets the competition know that fuel-efficiency alone isn’t enough to catch their eye, and a top 10 car has to be more than just a gas sipper.That 40 mpg mark is something that is extremely important to Hyundai, as they have set affordability and fuel-efficiency as the benchmarks they look to set with every vehicle in their line-up.Read More: http://www.hyundai-blog.com/40-mpg-hyundai-elantra-named-one-of-the-best-green-carsHyundai Dealers Illinois
