This year"s Chicago Auto Show was one of the most exciting of its kind in terms of fuel efficient engine technology. A lot of vehicles we"ve already seen unveiled were on display at the show, and a lot more vehicles looking to break the mold on the industry were debuted. All in all, the show served as a pretty good indicator that the auto industry is finally back on the right track following the failure of the Big Three manufacturers, a heavily recessed economy and a horrible 2009 year for automotive sales. One of my favorite vehicles at this year"s auto show was the Hyundai Azera, a solid sedan that received updated engine options offering better power and higher fuel efficiency. Downers Grove Hyundai drivers should definitely want to learn more about this innovative new vehicle. In addition to the engine update, the new 2011 Azera also got a subtle styling makeover and some other technical improvements. But the updates your Pugi Hyundai dealer is most excited about are the new 3.3-liter Lambda V6 engine that puts out 260 horsepower and 233 pound-feet of torque "" as well as the 3.8-liter V6 that pumps 283 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque. The fuel economy numbers on both engines are pretty impressive, logging 20 and 19 miles per gallon in city driving and 28 and 27 miles per gallon on the highway respectively. Still more impressive are the other new technical components, like the variable valve timing, featured on both the intake and exhaust sides of the vehicle. The variable intake system (VIS) adds more power for better acceleration and passing performance. Hyundai dealers in Downers Grove are extremely happy to see these new, more powerful and more efficient models crossing from conception to reality and expect some increased interest when the 2011 car season picks up. For even better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, the new Azera leverages a standard six-speed automatic transmission that is smaller, lighter and more compact in size than any other transmission of its kind available today. These innovative features should keep drivers visiting their Downers Grove Hyundai store. The styling updates on the brand new Azera help establish a more premium, modern look for the already attractive vehicle. A subtly revised front fascia with a redesigned front grille helps modernize the front of the vehicle"s look a little bit, while rear LED taillights and a slightly redesigned bumper with integrated chrome exhaust tailpipes add to the rear end"s attractiveness. Pugi Hyundai drivers are excited about the prospect of driving this new, attractive, powerful and fuel efficient version of the popular Azera, and pretty soon they will have the chance. As the automotive market continues its progression towards fuel efficiency, expect Hyundai dealers in Downers Grove to contribute in setting the tone for a new era in driving. Truly, the automotive market is at a place that no manufacturer would have predicted ten years ago, and we continue the race for zero emissions as the decade begins.
