These days, even if you have the money to splurge on high-end cars, there is still a good reason to go with “green” models. Not only are they eco-friendly, but they also serve as future proofing against the perpetual rise and fall of gas prices. It is no wonder then that many see the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Eco as a great choice, and this year’s revamped version an even better decision.
Minor Style Updates, But Greatly Improved Fuel Economy
The 2015 Sonata Eco gained accolades for beating the more powerful Sonata Sport 2.0T when it came to acceleration speeds, thanks to a lighter and more aerodynamic body. While the 2016 update to the Eco does not deviate much from this approach, it comes with minor stylistic changes and significantly improved fuel efficiency.
Visually, the 2016 Eco looks more aggressive due to the sleek, new front bumper patterned after the Sport model’s three-bar grille and its 17-inch alloy wheel design. The suspension components were also changed from the original steel to aluminum, which helps in improving handling due to the reduced unsprung weight.
On the engine side, the improved 1.6L turbocharged gamma 4-cylinder makes the 2016 Sonata Eco the most efficient of the non-hybrid Sonatas, boasting of a 28 mpg EPA fuel economy rating in urban settings and as little as 32 mpg on the highway.
Go Fast and Go Green at the Same Time
If you’re in the look out for a mid-sized sedan and want to do your bit for the environment, you can visit your local Hyundai dealership serving Rio Rancho and look for a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Eco. Pretty soon, you should be enjoying the Eco line’s perfect mix of fuel efficiency and great performance.
