The US Environmental Protection Agency has registered the complaints and found that it is about a million copies with a consumption incorrectly indicated, engraved on each window of the Hyundai and Kia cars sold in the US. The deviations consumption figures reached to 0.3 liters per 100 km, the biggest error being in the Soul case, the model that already has been replaced by a new generation.

The National Environmental Agency has identified errors in the calculation to 13 Hyundai and Kia models, between 2011- 2013 and won the case with the two manufacturers.
