Hyundai adds new ix-Metro in the hybrid technology list

Owing the importance of the hybrid technology, Hyundai has decided to add its new ix-Metro in its hybrid technology list. This will be introduced merely as a concept in the Frankfurt Motor Show. This three door car with the attractive front lights and the unique shape give it a cool look.

Six speed dual clutch transmission system which is being used in this car will reduce the power losses during the gear shift. It helps in better fuel economy as well. This technology is seen in other cars as well including Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen etc. The thing that has impressed me about this car is a low emission rate which is 80 g/km. The turbo charger boosts up the acceleration as well as the engine power upto 125 bhp. This car also has continuous variable valve timing in which the valve timing is monitered through microprocessors.
