Hyundai will bring a plug-in hybrid to market in 2012
that will be based closely off the pictured Blue Will
concept.
According
to reports, the Blue Will will use a 1.6 liter
direct injection engine coupled with a 100 kw motor
and Hyundai's lithium polymer batteries. Early testing
suggests the plug-in hybrid will achieve 38 miles of
pure EV power, 106 mpg when in plug-in hybrid mode,
and 55 mpg in just hybrid mode.
While no pricing has been released, of course, Hyundai
believes the car will be cost-effective as most
development has been done in house.
In related news, Hyundai announced its upcoming Hyundai
Sonata hybrid was coming in October of 2010.
