Fuel Efficient Hyundai Elantra Wins Cars.com “Best Value: Price to Pump Award”
June 23, 2011 by HyundaiDifference, under Hyundai Awards, Hyundai Elantra.
Hyundai of Tempe’s all-new 2011 Elantra continues to rake in the awards as one of the best fuel-efficient cars on the road, making it the perfect vehicle for consumers looking for an affordable solution to rising gas prices. Adding to its award pile is Car.com’s “Best Value: Price to Pump Award” as part of its Under 20/Over 35 Shootout. In the shootout, Cars.com editors evaluated five compact cars that seat five, get better than 30 miles per gallon and have a price tag below $20,000.
Cars.com Editor in Chief Patrick Olsen wrote:
“With unrelenting gas prices and continued economic uncertainty, our shootout couldn’t be timelier in terms of what car shoppers are looking for. In fact, four of the five models that competed have been among dealers best sellers in April and May.
“Based on our results, every car shopper looking in this segment needs to put the 2011 Hyundai Elantra at the top of their consideration set. Not only does this car get 40 mpg on the highway, the Elantra also has refined styling, solid handling, a comfortable interior and incredible affordability for all the features that buyers will get.”
To determine the winner of the best fuel-efficient car shootout, experts from Cars.com, USA Today and a Chicago-area family put the contenders through a variety of tests over a series of three days. Tests included a day-long drive to determine accurate, real-world mileage, back-to-back driving by all judges on the same course to determine handling and comfort, and a side-by-side comparison of the cars’ features and styling.
The 2011 Elantra sets the bar in the compact sedan category offering a “class-above” midsize car interior volume, modern design, outstanding fuel economy, and loads of comfort and convenience features, all at an attractive starting price. The Hyundai Elantra also continues to lead the industry in standard advanced safety technologies including a new Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system to optimally manage Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and the Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS).
