There has been a growing number of luxury and hybrid cars that offer so-called "start-stop" technology, which shuts off a car's engine every time it idles for more than just a few seconds. However, while the feature was once available only in a few models, Kia<\/a> is taking steps to make it much more prevalent, USA Today reports.<\/p>\n

The 2012 Kio Rio subcompact will become available to the general public sometime next month, and at a modest price tag of just under $15,000 it will be the most affordable car to offer the start-stop technology. Currently, Porsche and BMW<\/a> are the only manufacturers that offer the feature.<\/p>\n

Not only does the start-stop feature reduce the considerable noise caused by the idling engine, it also can save drivers a significant amount of money on gas over the long haul.<\/p>\n

"It's going to be very popular," Edmunds.com senior editor John O'Dell told the publication. "It's a fairly inexpensive way to get a 3 percent to 5 percent fuel-economy increase."<\/p>\n

Drivers who are interested in getting a new fuel-efficient car may want to look into New Jersey Auto Auction<\/a>, which has plenty of makes and models at affordable prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
