Excerpt: The Ford Focus is a compact car introduced to North America in 1999 for model year 2000, now in its second generation. The North American models were initially co-developed with the international Focus which debuted at the 1998 Paris Motor Show and were eventually manufactured and sold worldwide, including South America, Africa, Australia, and Asia. First generation North American Focus models paralleled the international Focus using the C170 platform for sedan, hatchback (3 and 5-door), and wagon configurations – with an intermediate facelift for the 2005 model year. Where second generation North American Focus models continue with the C170 platform beginning with model year 2008 in sedan and coupe configurations the international Focus introduced in 2005 employs the newer C1 platform for sedan, hatchback (3 and 5-door), and wagon configurations. Focus production in North America had been shared between Wayne Stamping

Hyundai Dealers In Indianapolis Will Feature More Fuel-Efficient Santa Fe

Filed under Fuel Economy

By now, you might be tired of hearing about it, but I’ll tell you for a fact, you have to be glad it is happening. Of course, I’m talking about the automotive industry’s push towards better fuel economy to reduce its environmental footprint, help destroy America’s dependency on oil from foreign countries and lower the total cost of ownership as it depends on gas. These are all huge benefits, so it’s nearly impossible to say you don’t care. By now, you’ve probably also heard about Toyota’s role as a leader in cutting-edge technology. But it’s a New Year and time for new manufacturers to make a play in the fuel efficiency space.

The reform movement in engine technology is a long time in coming. I’ve been keeping abreast of the latest developments because I’m a pretty big advocate for green living. Businesses and individuals have a responsibility to our environment, and through that social responsibility comes a lot of added perks associated with efficiency. Prior to really dedicating myself to the eco-movement, I was a huge fan of large vehicles. That’s why the dawn of the crossover was such a great compromise for me; I could leverage the power, strength and style of SUVs everywhere and still end up with a car that doesn’t hog the road and plays to a lot more strengths in efficiency.

Hyundai dealers in Indianapolis are about to get a huge push in the form of the upgraded 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, a vehicle that has been available at Indianapolis Hyundai cars dealers for awhile now but was “officially” unveiled at the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit this month. While the new model features a mildly updated platform in comparison to last year’s, some of the upgrades are pretty fun, while other serve a heavy purpose. New features include XM NavTraffic for real time traffic updates, standard touch-screen navigation on all models, optional rear view cameras and an “Eco-Indicator” light to make sure you’re driving as efficiently as possible.

But that’s not all of the great benefits and upgrades your Hyundai dealers in Indianapolis are featuring as part of the 2010 Santa Fe. New powertrains offer big improvements in fuel efficiency. The base model comes standard with a 2.4-liter DOHC Theta II inline four cylinder engine that puts out 175 horsepower, while an optional 3.5-liter Lambda II engine pumps 276 horsepower. The mileage figures have been upped 20 miles per gallon in city driving and between 26 and 28 miles per gallon on the highway. You’ll find great crossover efficiency when you visit your Indianapolis Hyundai cars dealership this year.

Your Indianapolis used car dealer has a lot going for it, but if you’re looking for true fuel efficiency you’ll want to buy new. Mild exterior design changes help make the new Santa Fe much more aesthetically pleasing in addition to its technology changes. In a couple of years, the 2010 Santa Fe should be a hot item at your Indianapolis used car dealer.
