I drive the 2005 Kia Cerato and it is great value for money so bring on the LPG model Hybrid Cerato to Australia and I will be ready to trade up without a second thought..10 out of 10 for KIA/HYUNDAI for their great Engineering Inovations

Put this system i a Mazda 3 ( A car people want ) and it would sell like hot cakes!

Put it into an Elantra and meh! Its an Elantra! you want to drive a shoebox on wheels that’s fuel efficient? I dont!

Thanks guys.

Of which the i30 is the hatch version.

Only LPG is ok [as per my Falcon], but old habits die hard i still like dual-fuel [Thanks Holden!]

New law to car manufacturers, keep the SAME name all over the world.Avante is ok for us, yes?

And perhaps keep the old name on a new model, eh Nissan, hows the Tiida going! lol

What’s a Avante, is it a Sonata here?

Is it dual-fuel [LPG/ULP] or just LPG only?

Love this enginepack in a i30, where do i sign up?

Lazybones, I agree that petrol will be available for a lot longer than that timeframe, however, ther is a strong argument to support that Australia just wont be able to source offshore petrol “at any price”, because high demand for large volumes (China etc) will put Australia off the suppliers list.

There is one-word, GENIUS!!

Question is whats its cost in Korea v a std. edition of same, ie what sort of premium are they going to charge?, if they can sell it for say the same amount extra as a diesel, then its game-over for diesel.

Will they export it to Aus, i think i would be VERY happy with it, will this powertrain be fitted to others in the range, ie the i30?

Sheel use to have easy to squeez nozzle at servos [blue coloured] but they removed them any reason why? The std nozzle is very hard to squeeze sometimes, i dont think a oldie or female would be able to do it?

I think the fact it doesn’t look like it’s trying to be some futuristic-super-car is part of its’ appeal. Keeping it simple is probably a good thing, it’s a nice looking car!
Be interesting to see how much Hyundai undercuts Toyota with this.
