Hyundai is planning on having a hybrid plug-in available in the United States by 2012 and be called the Hyundai Blue-Will. The Blue-Will will provide direct competition to the Chevy Volt and the Toyota Prius plug-ins due to arrive on the market soon.
Yang Woong-chul, president of Hyundai-Kia Motors said the Blue-Will can travel about 38 miles on electricity only. Hyundai claims a fuel economy rating of 106 mpg in plug-in mode and up to 55 mpg in hybrid-electric mode. The concept car features a panoramic glass roof with solar cells for recharging.
We want to be the world leader in fuel economy and alternative fuels,” he said.
