Seoul Motor Show

Futuristic designs, innovative features

 and cutting-edge technology.

 

 

 

This year's Seoul Motor Show

shines a spotlight on nearly 300 vehicles

from 27 of the world's leading automakers.

Hyundai Motor's hybrid Grandeur sedan

 and SsangYong Motor's premium SUV

are set to make their world premieres.

 

And the German carmaker Mercedes-Benz

 is showcasing 35 models with the new E-Class

 Cabriolet and E-Class Coupe making their

Asian debuts.

 

 

"In keeping with Korea's green

transportation trend, eco-friendly cars

ranging from plug-in hybrids to electric vehicles

 are expected to dominate the show.

And with the world getting ready for

the fourth industrial revolution,

self-driving cars and those with Internet

of Things technology are also on display."

 

Reflecting the rising demand for eco-friendly

features, Toyota showcased the Prius Prime

its second-generation plug-in hybrid.

 

GM Korea showcased its Chevrolet Bolt EV.

 

It can run 383 kilometres on a single

charge and was completely sold out the day

 it launched two weeks ago.

 

"The big thing about EV vehicles

 is people are always worrying about having

 to charge it every day or every hour.

With 383 kilometres, the average

person driving 40 kilometres a day

to work, just do the math, overall week?

 

 You only have to charge it one time."

Korean IT giant Naver showcased its

 self-driving technology, with machine

learning and deep learning

 algorithms to help a car detect

 the surrounding environment.

 

Hyundai Motors also showed its

 Ioniq self-driving vehicle, which was

 in the spotlight at CES 2017.

 

"Technologies that are part of people's

 daily lives will be out in 2018 and 2019.

 People will be able to control their cars

from their homes, and their homes from

their cars. We're also thinking

 about services that will make use

of the driver's location and routes."

 

The Seoul Motor Show opens to public

on Friday and runs through April 9th

at Kintex exhibition center in Ilsan,

giving visitors a chance to get a first look at

 these new cars.
