The Korean brand has enjoyed the Hyundai ionic concept as the most novel and most important, accompanied by two developments over the American brand: the new Hyundai i30 Wagon and the i20 redesign.
Starting with the ionic, is a sporty compact electric with the help of an additional 1.0 petrol engine of three cylinders and a very special inside, with the full dashboard and leather wrapped seats swivel to facilitate access to rear seats. Of all the concepts we’ve seen along these days, ionic seems the most feasible in the short term.

To “protect” the trade balance, Interior Commerce Secretary Guillermo Moreno, and the Minister of Industry, Debora Giorgio, customs barriers placed (non-automatic licensing) to import to different sectors of the economy. The officials quickly pointed their fingers at the automotive sector, which until last year maintained a trade deficit of $ S 5,800 million, according to official data.
The Government called on automakers and dealers and told them that they would govern the plan “One on One” to foreign trade. That is, should make every dollar exported import another to try to reduce the deficit of the sector. For imports to enter the country should present a plan for what to buy and sell justifying and from other countries so that their products are not bravados for months in customs waiting for an entry permit.
The stage was divided into “local” and “import”. The auto companies with local production plant (such as Ford, Fiat, General Motors and PSA Peugeot Citroen) rebalance your purchases with more involvement of local parts, capital contributions and proposals to develop new models.
But so far eight firms that are net importers of finished vehicles should “appeal to wit” and start selling other types of products such as soy, corn, wine and even peanuts to get their vehicles into the country.
