2010 Kia Ray Plug-in Hybrid Concept

KMA released the Kia Ray Plug-in Hybrid Concept at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show. The most efficient Kia vehicles with significant fuel consumption and emission reductions developed under the EcoDynamics sub-brand. This is the answer of what people want in the future from a green perspective, eco-minded features for today’s environmentally conscious consumers.

The Kia Ray is the fifth vehicle from the Irvine Calif.-based Kia Design Center America (KDCA) to be revealed in the last year. The latest design from KDCA follows award-winning Kia vehicles Soul, Forte, Forte Koup and the all-new 2011 Sorento CUV. Inventively showcases a futuristic four-seat compact sedan and designed with lightweight and recycled materials, as well as hexagonal roof-top solar cells embedded in the glass roof panel that power extra lighting or climate control systems to demonstrates a prospective plug-in hybrid vehicle configuration from Kia.

The Kia Ray Plug-in Hybrid concept is designed to be powered by an all-aluminum 153-horsepower Gasoline Direct Injected (GDI) 1.4-liter engine mated to a permanently-engaged fixed ratio Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), used in combination with a 78kw electric motor. Depending on driving conditions, power is sent to the wheels from the gasoline engine, the electric motor, or both together. The Kia Ray concept is front-wheel drive with a four-wheel independent suspension. Let's view Photo Car below:
