The Hyundai ix-Metro

With the Frankfurt Auto Show fast approaching, images of the latest concept cars are being revealed.  One new car that will be on display will be the Hyundai ix-Metro concept car.

With a futuristic look, featuring angles combined with soft curves, the Hyundai immediately brings to mind the latest concepts from Mazda, the Furai and Taiki. 

With the Hyundai ix-Metro, the Korean carmaker has introduced some interesting technical features.  Like many of its competitors, the Hyundai has downsized under the hood.  The car is powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine, along with a gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain.  However, don’t be fooled by the smaller engine, because it still packs 125 horsepower. The car also features a 6-speed transmission with a double clutch. 

Also considered one of the most eco-friendly cars, the ix-Metro promises just 80g/km of CO2 emissions.

The ix-Metro should be available to the public in the next two years.
