The bad news is: Because of the switch of powertrain, the steering, air conditioning, water pump and brake vacuum pump systems have been modified to all run on electrical power now.
The good news: the press released from Hyundai tells that will be initially SOLD (not leased) to Korean governments, corporations and other utility companies. ERGO, we might see a very efficient electric city car in the Metro certainly cheaper than the Prius' Php 2.25 million price tag. I never know anyone who bought this Prius here anyway. The Hyundai i10 basically is priced Php478,000 for hte based 1.1 model to Php578,000 for a 1.2 automatic with Airbags and a lot of power from a 1.2 liter pony.
