Kia Rio Hybrid Future Hybrid Cars

Kia Rio Hybrid Future Hybrid Cars 

DESCRIPTION

Hyundai has only recently announced that it will be adding hybrid vehicles to its lineup. Originally, the Kia Rio hybrid was set to launch in late 2006; however, due to currency issues, Hyundai has pushed back the development of their hybrid cars until 2009 - at the earliest.

Not much else has been released about Hyundai's hybrid technology.

Hyundai hybrids will be built on proprietary hybrid technology, unlike the Ford Escape or Nissan Altima hybrids, which are built with licensed Toyota hybrid technology.

What is known is that Kia and Hyundai plan to combine a 90-horsepower 1.4 liter 4 cylinder gas engine. Additionally, hopefully is sell a number Rio hybrids to the South Korean government as part of a test fleet.

At this point, don't hold your breath if you are waiting for the Kia hybrid.
