The 2011 Hyundai Sonata has been a huge sales hit for the Korean car company, outpacing the Chevrolet Malibu and Nissan Altima in recent months. The news could get better for Hyundai later this year, as the new sedan gets a greener version that could hit a class-best fuel economy target.
Hyundai's American CEO John Krafcik said this morning that the Sonata Hybrid could earn a 40-mpg highway fuel economy rating by the time the sedan gets its final EPA certification.
"We're working on final calibration...and the fuel economy estimates could come in a little better than before," Krafcik said. "We said the Sonata Hybrid will have the highest fuel economy of any mid-size hybrid. We predicted 39 mpg, we may hit 40 mpg."
