Magfocus 5th Gear December 2, 2016 Share December 2, 2016 Wasted la, this car model kenna "burned" by taxi company liao, now lesser people will buy... Was thinking the same thing. Now that the taxi coys have gotten their hands on it, it reduces the attractiveness to private buyers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Moderator December 2, 2016 Share December 2, 2016 Heard from my SE that it's abt 120 to 130k, no actual price yet.... Tks! If it's priced at $125k, I doubt if many units would be moved bearing in mind Prius is going at $130k+ and also taxi using it, so don't quite understand their rationale but maybe they want to prove its reliability and resilience since it's the first Hyundai Hybrid? I also tiagong from a SE that its going at about $125K. I did go for a joy ride with the SE and that car can go FAST! dun feel like a hybrid at all... Hybrid cars take off very fast cos using electric motor but my understanding is you shouldn't floor it cos then the normal motor would take over if it goes over a certain speed. It's also very quiet. I'm no expert just hearing from some hybrid owners. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert just hearing from some hybrid owners. I was kinda interested in the hybrid car as I saw quite a few running in Korea when I was there for holidays recently. But the price of $125K ... its really close to the Honda 1.5T Civic loh... The main contributing factor that it can go fast is that it uses a DCT instead of the usual CVT.

Mkl22 Supersonic December 2, 2016 Share December 2, 2016 For me this is yet another nail in the coffin for diesel cars in Singapore. A huge fleet of Prius and now Hyundai hybrids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
