There is a new future generation crossover car being designed by Hyundai. The eleventh signature concept car coming from Hyundai is Nuvis which was designed at the company’s California Design Center. This concept car will be powered by 2.0L theta turbocharged GDI four cylinder engine which may power all Hyundai models in future. Nuvis is expected to give a mileage of 40 miles per gallon which is nearly 17.01kmpl in the city.
"Hyundai aims to be the most fuel-efficient automaker on the planet," said John Krafcik, vice president, Product Development and Strategic Planning, Hyundai Motor America. "We’re aligning our global R&D resources in Michigan, California, Nam Yang, and Frankfurt to develop the Blue Drive technologies we need to achieve our goal – a 35 mpg U.S. fleet average by 2015."
The new Hyundai Nuvis belongs to the Hyundai Blue Drive Family of eco-friendly cars. It is the first US hybrid system that uses technology powered by breakthrough lithium polymer batteries and leapfrogs existing nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion technology.
New ‘Blue’ editions of Accent and Elantra will be released shortly in this year. It will also begin building a gas-electric fully hybrid model of next generation Sonata for the US market next year. It intends to lead the American auto market in fuel economy by achieving a fleet average of 35 miles per gallon by 2015.
