Hyundai BLUE-WILL Concept: The Korean Prius Fighter

Hyundai is joining the hybrid party late and so they hope to make a grand entrance with their gasoline-electric hybrid BLUE-WILL Concept, which sports a Prius-like drivetrain but funkier looks and plug-in capability.

Power for the BLUE-WILL comes from a direct-injection 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine mated to an electric motor. Like the Kia Forte LPI Hybrid, the battery pack in this hybrid concept is lithium ion polymer (li-poly). Concept bits include headlamp bezels made from recycled PET soft drink bottles and dye-sensitized solar cells on the roof.

This concept will debut at the Seoul Auto Show.
