VA Hybrid Shoppers Can Check Out New Sonata Hybrid

VA hybrid shoppers are invited to Alexandria Hyundai to experience the new 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, one of the top five ranked greenest cars of 2011. The award goes to the car that proves to the least harmful to the environment while getting the most MPGs.

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, available for VA hybrid shoppers at Alexandria Hyundai, has proven itself with a fuel economy of 37 city and 39 highway miles per gallon. The Sonata also can reach 62 miles per hour when in all-electric mode, one of the highest speed hybrids can reach in this mode. A special feature also lets the driver know how eco-friendly or efficient they are driving by showing images of the sky. Starting from grey the more efficient you drive the bluer the sky gets.

The Hyundai-developed Hybrid Blue Drive architecture is a full parallel hybrid drive system, which can operate on an electric motor, gasoline internal combustion engine, and a combination of the two depending on driving conditions and driver demands. Hyundai’s proprietary full parallel architecture differs from the power split technology used by most competitors, allowing significant efficiency advantages at higher speeds. Hyundai Hybrid Blue Drive is the first and only system using lithium polymer battery technology – leapfrogging competitive in-market nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion applications.

Hyundai Hybrid Blue Drive is a new addition to a full suite of eco-focused products and technologies that Hyundai offers in its goal to be the auto industry’s global eco-leader. According to the EPA, Hyundai has led the U.S. industry in fuel economy for 2008 and 2009, and is currently the only automaker with average fleet fuel economy of more than 30 miles per gallon.

The Sonata Hybrid is also fluidly designed, combining sophisticated styling with advanced hybrid technology. Hyundai designers have taken Sonata’s fluidic sculpture design language a bit further with Sonata Hybrid, making it even more aerodynamic. The goal was a modern, eco-friendly design, with “at-a-glance” differentiation from the non-hybrid Sonata models.
