Petaling Jaya, 18 December 2008 - Asian Auto Bosch held their “Asian Auto Bosch Fuel Efficiency Awards 2008” recently at the Grand Ballroom, Saujana Hotel Subang, Subang Jaya.  Many car industry leaders were invited to the award giving luncheon including Proton, UMW Toyota, Honda Malaysia, etc.  Oriental Hyundai and Kah Bintang Hyundai was also invited to the fuel efficiency award giving ceremony.
 
The Asian Auto Bosch Fuel Efficiency Awards 2008 is to give Malaysian car customers a clearer and better picture of which car in the Malaysian market currently has one of the best fuel consumption or should I say lowest fuel consumption.
 
The Hyundai Sonata 2.0L competed in the luxury car segment competing against the Japanese luxury sedans (as well as European car makers) and won the 2nd best fuel consumption at 8.4L/100 km only losing out to Mercedes Benz B-Class 170.  (Hyundai Sonata 2.0L – 2nd lowest fuel consumption).
 
The Hyundai Elantra 2.0L competed in the premium family car segment and won the 3rd best fuel consumption at 8.4L/100 km.  (Hyundai Elantra 2.0L – 3rd lowest fuel consumption).
 
And the Hyundai Accent 1.6L competed in the family car segment and won the 2nd best fuel consumption at 7.0L/100 km.  Losing out by 0.4L/100km to the Honda City 1.5L.  Take note that the Hyundai Accent is a 1.6L and not a 1.5L so the fuel consumption for a bigger engine should be higher.
 
The Awards given to the Hyundai Sonata 2.0L, Hyundai Elantra 2.0L and Hyundai Accent 1.6L shows that the Hyundai passenger cars distributed by Oriental-Hyundai Sdn Bhd / Kah Bintang Auto Sdn Bhd has very low fuel consumption even when compared to Japanese cars.
