Created by Kinetic Motorsports, the Hybrid Concept combines a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine fueled by liquefied petroleum gas (propane) and lithium polymer battery with accentuated design characteristics, including body panel enhancements and a lowered stance.

The Kia Forte Hybrid Concept is accentuated by cast aluminum alloy wheels and low-rolling resistance tires for improved fuel economy and reduced road noise. On the inside, interior panel treatments feature custom enhancements, while a 1200 watt Infinity audio system will entertain passengers.

  1. It is great that KIA is now having a LPG hybrid car. This is energy saving car and also user friendly auto. I wish that if we use LPG than oil, LPG is cheaper than oil to save us also money.

  2. We wish for two things. One, that every major auto manufacturer offered a LPG/CNG model and two, many more filling stations!
