			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The recent auto show in Chicago did not highlight a lot of green cars but one Korean car took the spotlight on a traditionally truck dominated exhibit floors. The Korean carmaker Kia unveiled their concept car called Ray which is a plug-in hybrid.</p>
<p>The Ray embodies the direction Kia wants to take towards fluid design lines and efficiency which is the current name of the game in the automotive industry.</p>

<p>The concept car Ray represents the future line of Kia under its sub-brand that will be called EcoDynamics. The EcoDynamics badge will represent sporty designs, use of low emission systems, and excellent fuel efficiency.</p>
<p>The Kia Ray will be using a 153 hp 1.4L engine coupled with a 78 kW electric motor.</p>
<p>The Kia Ray makes use of recycled and lightweight components with a full glass roofing which uses solar cells to power the car’s accessories. The body of the car also use cool-glazing substances to keep the energy demand for cooling the interior low.</p>

<p><span id="more-102"></span>The aerodynamic design of the car makes use of some tricks to reduce the drag of this amazing new <a href="http://kia-cars.org/">Kia Car</a>. The car has a very low roofline, underbody panel to take car of the flow of air under the vehicle, and a high deck on the rear to further reduce drag. It has an excellent drag coefficient of 0.25.</p>
<p>The car’s headlight also slides back into a housing to give way to extra air intakes to help with the cooling of the engine. <a href="http://kia-cars.org/green-vehicles.php">The green car</a> also makes use of motion detectors in place of side mirrors.</p>
