Hyundai Canada is going green with the Clean Air Commitment.
Currently, all provinces offer an incentive program designed to encourage people to upgrade to more fuel-efficient cars. In BC, the program is Scrap-It, for the rest of Canada, the program is Retire Your Ride. As of yesterday, Hyundai is now offering a "top up" of as much as $1000 in additional Clean Air Cash towards a new fuel-efficient vehicle.
There's an easy-to-use calculator on this page that can quickly tell you how much money you'll receive from the government trade-in program and how much Clean Air Cash you'll receive from Hyundai Canada. Obviously, the Hyundai Clean Air Cash can only be used towards the purchase of a Hyundai vehicle.
