[Caddilac]

Quick Fact:

-2.4 Theta 2 Direct Injection Engine

-209hp with combined power from electric motor

-Using lithium polymer battery instead of the nickel metal hydride used on Camry and Fusion.

-Using 6-spd automatic instead of CVT on other rivals.

-Best highway fuel economy, as the vehicle can be driven in full electric mode up to 100kmh, compared to all Toyota Hybrid which can only run up to 64.

Very nice.The design very unique an hyundai is getting better at its own design. especially,the front is very original and radical. Hyundai and Kia produces the most radical cars nowadays.Gone are the days when Hyundai and Kia were criticised for lack of creativity and uniqueness. Their boldness,radical shift in design and ever improving performance make Toyota and Honda pee out of fear. By just looking at Kia optima 2011 makes me feel happy. its design language is simply unrivalled.Korea automoakers are really awesome nowadays. These are the reasons why I admire korea carmakers.

1. Tremendous leap in design and performance in a short period of time despite many odds facing against them

2. Savvy marketing(but not Komoco of singapore)

3. Boldness

4. Resilience and perseverance

 

It is a shame that straits times of singapore keeps reporting about electric cars from japan. Electric cars industry of korea is largely ignored. From what I observe, korea electric car industry is certainly not behind that of japan. With hyundai sonata hybrid, korea car makers are proving that they can face head to head with japan car makers.

Is komoco is bringing this model in? Definitely a worth competitor to the upcoming camry hybrid
