Around the poolcircel be heavily camouflaged Hyundai’s spotted, while the head of development in Detroit to purchase runs with the big green plans of the brand.

In Detroit showed Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid, large sedan with tweeliter gasoline engine that is assisted by an electric motor. In the Netherlands, it was the Sonata followed by the i40, but this Sonata is still a bit bigger than our i40 and this plug-inhybride is going to be very likely on our nose over. According to Ki-Sang Lee, head of development of the Hyundai group (including Kia), however, we can expect more of the Korean brand in the field of sustainable mobility. A smaller plug-inhybride, size Prius, for example, with a full electric range of up to 45 kilometers, according to the ceo compared to Green Car Reports.

That Hyundai not nice words, is immediately apparent. Around the arctic circle are camouflaged prototypes have been spotted of hybrid cars. Although the tightly packed cars are still very few details to give away, noticed that the overall shape of the Prius. Also, the double rear window, consisting of a sloped standing area, we will probably be back at the Hyundai. In the first instance, the car probably first as a regular hybrid on the market, equipped with a 1.6-litre petrol engine, reports The Korean Car Blog. A plug-in version would not take a year to a year and a half later, and is -if true – probably on the late side to still benefit from favorable bijtellingsregels.
