Americans are concerned about saving money in today’s tough economic times. Many are feeling the pinch as gas prices go up, making it less and less affordable to use their cars. Hyundai has been an industry leader in technology designed to increase the fuel efficiency of its vehicles, and loyal Hyundai customers know they can count on their company to deliver the latest developments in technology with their new lineup.

Hyundai has decided to include fuel-saving direct injection in almost every car they offer, though this has long been considered a luxury feature. Since the company is dedicated to providing a great value for drivers, it only makes sense that this value-added option should become standard on across price ranges. Lower emissions are an extra benefit, which means Hyundai is also keeping its commitment to the environment. Overall, the offerings in the Hyundai line are very real competition to the hybrids, whose platform is based on fuel-efficiency. The difference is hybrids come at a much higher price.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA) join forces every year to honor the car company that demonstrates best use of technological advancements. The award is known as the Yankee Cup Technology Award. This year, the panel chose to honor Hyundai for its work on direct injection, which is expected to be a game-changer in reaching fuel-efficiency goals.

Those who have been involved in accidents when they couldn’t brake will tell you it is one of the scariest things in the world. This usually happens when a mechanical failure jams the throttle, so that brakes are inoperable and the car careens forward, out of control. Brake override technology is available to ensure that if the brakes and the gas are both pressed, the brakes will take precedence so the car can be stopped. Hyundai has made this standard on more than 50% of models in the past few years. Now the company has announced that fully 100% of new cars will have brake override included.

Only a few car manufacturers have decided to offer brake override as a standard feature, because there is no regulation requiring it. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is considering a proposal to make this technology standard in every new vehicle. The issue gained a lot of attention after Toyota’s unprecedented 2009 and 2010 recalls, which came about when drivers could not stop the cars even if the brakes were fully functional, because the throttle was stuck open.

Hyundai is known for its leadership in providing best-in-class safety features, and this is another example of setting the standard for the industry. Aside from Hyundai, only BMW and Chrysler offered brake override before 2011, when Toyota started to include it in every new car. Hyundai’s safety record has made it a top choice in a number of popular lists, particularly because the price is so affordable. Hyundai is a great value, offering features found in far more expensive cars as standard equipment. The addition of standard brake override is expected to cement the company’s reputation is a value-added automobile manufacturer.  Experience a Hyundai for yourself at a Carlsbad Hyundai dealership today.
