The 2012 Kia Rio to offer start-stop technology.
(prHWY.com) October 25, 2011 - Peoria, IL -- Until recently, start-stop technology has been associated with hybrid vehicles looking to conserve as much energy as possible. Gasoline powered vehicles are now starting to utilize the technology, and Kia is one of the first brands to begin this trend, starting with the 2012 Kia Rio. Peoria auto repair dealer, Mike Miller Kia, is thrilled that Kia has begun using the start-stop technology, and is looking forward to seeing the 2012 Kia Rio in action.
Start-stop technology allows the vehicle's engine to rest when the vehicle is idle for more than a few seconds. This results in engines being silenced at stop lights, or when drivers are parked with the vehicle still running. The only additional requirement for the start-stop technology is a more powerful battery, which is easy to incorporate on most gasoline powered vehicles. According to Edmonds.com, start-stop technology is an easy way to achieve a 3 percent to 5 percent increase in fuel efficiency increase. As many auto makers scramble to meet tougher fuel economy regulations in 2016, it is said that many auto makers will begin incorporating start-stop technology within the next few years.
Peoria auto repair dealer, Mike Miller Kia, is pleased that Kia is at the forefront of the start-stop technology incorporation, and hopes it catches on with other brands. Mike Miller Kia is a top dealer to find new and used Kia cars, as well as a reliable place to get a Peoria oil change.
