The 2009 Hyundai Sonata was recognised by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) on its annual 'Greener Choices 2009' list for the fourth consecutive year.
The Sonata will be featured in the ACEEE's Green Book Online, an annual consumers' guide to environmentally-friendly cars and trucks.
"To be recognised for the fourth year in a row as a leader in fuel efficiency only reinforces Hyundai commitment to the environment and sustainability," said Michael Deitz, manager, product development, Hyundai Motor America.
"The refreshed, fuel-efficient Sonata brings consumers industry leading safety features and an award-winning interior at a price they can afford."
The list is restricted to widely available gasoline-powered cars and light trucks with automatic transmissions, thus highlighting the widespread availability of environmentally friendly vehicle choices in many segments of the market.
The latest Sonata debuts Hyundai's second-generation Theta four-cylinder engine. The Theta II 2.4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder engine delivers more horsepower and quicker acceleration, while also improving fuel economy.
In fact, the Sonata I4 is now more fuel-efficient than both Camry and Accord four-cylinder engines, delivering an impressive 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway fuel economy rating. The Sonata combines refined design, proven dependability, spirited performance and an extensive list of standard features to increase its appeal to a broader range of customers.
