Eco, Sport and Limited models offer a 1.6L turbocharged, direct-injected four-cylinder with an estimated 175 hp and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. EPA fuel economy for this powertrain on Eco FWD models is 26 mpg city/32 mpg highway/28 mpg combined. Sport and Limited FWD turbo engine models are rated at 25 mpg city/30 mpg highway/27 mpg combined.
The AWD system includes a driver-selectable AWD lock that allows a differentiated torque split between front and rear wheels, for off-road and extremely slippery road conditions. The system also includes active cornering control, which automatically transfers torque to the wheels with the most traction.
Safety features include AEB with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning system, blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, lane change assist, backup warning sensors, and standard rearview camera.
New technology options include a standard five-inch color LCD display with rearview camera and touchscreen function, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Apple Siri Eyes Free integration. Hyundai Blue Link connectivity offers technology such as remote start with climate control, remote stop, destination search powered by Google, remote door lock/unlock, car finder, and stolen vehicle recovery.
The front-wheel drive SE model retails for $22,700, the Eco for $24,150, the Sport for $25,900, and the Limited for $29,775. All-wheel drive adds an additional $1,400 to all models’ prices.
AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
