The summer months are here in Elgin and that means road trip! You’ve budgeted everything out so you know exactly how much money you’re spending on meals, lodging, and incidentals. How much did you budget for gas? If you’re driving the Hyundai Accent, that number is probably very low because with the fuel economy you get, your wallet will wonder if it’s being neglected.
Designed For Efficiency
The Hyundai Accent is available in a sedan and hatchback body style–both built with fluidity and efficiency in mind. The contoured styling of the sedan slices through the air with an exceptional 0.28 coefficient of drag. The hatchback has the unique, aerodynamically-designed rear spoiler on the back yet still manages to have 21.2 cubic feet of cargo space. There’s enough space for all of the gear you’ll buy with your extra gas money.
The 16-inch alloy wheels come standard with low rolling resistance silica tires. Conventional tires have a larger “footprint”, where the rubber meets the road. Low rolling resistant tires have a composition of rubber and silica which decreases the tire’s footprint without having to change any other properties of the tire. It takes far less energy to get you moving thus increasing fuel efficiency.
Fuel Economy
The Hyundai Accent boasts a standard 137 hp engine out powering its closest competitors. However, fuel efficiency is not sacrificed for power. The Accent gets an EPA estimated 37 mpg on the highway and 27 in the city with the standard manual transmission. An automatic transmission still sports an impressive 36 mpg HWY and 26 in the city. So go ahead and take a few extra days off and head to Gurnee for roller coasters, water parks, and amazing malls.
Active ECO System
The Hyundai Accent is more than just a pretty fuel gauge. It also has an impressive technology package. Models with automatic transmissions come with the Active ECO System. When you activate ECO, it modifies engine and transmission control to perform at the optimal level to receive maximum fuel efficiency. Stay focused on the road with hands-free Bluetooth calling and steering wheel-mounted cruise control. Drive to your own road trip playlist with SiriusXM or plug in your smartphone via the USB or auxiliary port.
