2011 Hyundai Elantra would be more efficient than a hybrid vehicle?

The all-new 2011 Hyundai Elantra, in its mission to redefine the compact car segment, is also proving that non-hybrid vehicles can be among the most fuel-efficient cars on the road.

TrueCar, Inc., a leading market innovator, stands alone as an automotive solutions provider focused on changing how cars are sold by providing a significantly better customer experience, while helping qualified dealer partners to gain incremental market share and reduce costs.

TrueCar.com compiled the list of Top 10 most fuel-efficient cars currently being sold based on fuel economy and cost of gas, per 24000km driven annually and compare with others hybrids vehicle.  For example, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra is cheaper than the 2011 Toyota Prius; based on average price paid, yet costs around 530$ more to fill up annually. At that rate, it would take more than a decade to recoup the additional investment.

With a starting price of just 15849$ and standard 5,81km/100km highway fuel economy, the Hyundai Elantra is demonstrating that fuel efficiency can be achieved in a high-volume, non-hybrid vehicle without the need for special fuel economy packages.

Indeed, Jesse Toprak, vice president of Industry Trends and Insights at TrueCar.com explained: “When purchasing a fuel-efficient vehicle, consumers should consider two factors – price and annual cost of fuel,” said Jesse Toprak, vice president of Industry Trends and Insights at TrueCar.com. “If you're looking for the most cost-effective and fuel-efficient car, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra is the clear winner.”
