Hyundai Motor will release a hybrid version of its mid-sized sedan LF Sonata next month.
The sedan boasts fuel efficiency of up to 18.2 km per liter, the automaker claimed on Tuesday.
"Fuel efficiencies can be different depending on the dimensions of the tire, ranging between 17.7 km and 18.2 km per liter," a Hyundai spokesman said.
But it is up to 8.3 percent more fuel efficient than the previous hybrid version of the YF Sonata, which has a fuel efficiency of 16.8 km per liter.

"After careful consideration, Ballantine Books has made the difficult decision to cancel the publication, 'Paula Deen's New Testament: 250 Favorite Recipes, All Lightened Up,'" the publisher said in a statement.
Ballantine declined to elaborate on its decision to scrap the book by Deen, considered the queen of Southern cooking.
Orders of the book, which was scheduled for an October release, will not be fulfilled, the imprint of Bertelsmann SE's Random House said, adding that the cookbook of lighter Southern cuisine had not gone to press.
Deen, 66, who had a multimillion-dollar enterprise built on books, restaurants, television shows and housewares, has lost about a dozen business deals after a deposition surfaced last week in which the TV chef admitted to using the "N-word."
The controversy pushed pre-order sales of her forthcoming cookbook to the top of Amazon's best-sellers list and copies of 2011's "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible," which was published by CBS Corp's Simon & Schuster Inc, is No. 2 on the list.
"Paula Deen's New Testament" was going to be the first book in a two-book deal with Ballantine.
Pharmacy chain Walgreens, department store JC Penney and Sears Holdings Corp, which owns department store Sears and discount retailer Kmart, all said on Friday they planned to discontinue Deen's product lines.
Scripps Networks Interactive Inc's cable TV channel the Food Network, which aired Deen's cooking shows, was the first to drop Deen last week.
A number of companies have severed ties with the chef, including Caesars Entertainment Corp, which operated Deen-branded restaurants; retailers Target Corp and Wal-Mart Stores Inc; and Danish drug maker Novo Nordisk A/S, which used Deen as a pitchwoman.

As Robin Thicke continues his quest to nab the song of the summer, the singer has announced his sixth studio album will be released on July 30.
"Blurred Lines" is currently enjoying a run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the album of the same name will serve as a follow-up to 2011's "Love After War." In addition to T.I. and Pharrell, who appear on Thicke's lead single, Kendrick Lamar will duet on a track called "Give It 2 U."
"The album is called 'Blurred Lines,'" Thicke said during a recent appearance on Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club." "I've realized as I've gotten older that we all think we're living either in a black or white world, or on a straight path, but most of us are living right inbetween those straight lines. And everything you thought you knew, the older you get, you realize, I don't know nothing about this. I better pay attention, I better listen and keep learning.' So I think that, that's what I've been realizing these past few years."
"Blurred Lines" is Thicke's first No. 1 single, although 2007's "Lost Without U" also made a splash, having since been certified platinum. "Lines" also recently hit No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The second single, "For The Rest Of My Life," was officially released on June 3.
