Hyundai and Kia showed fuel-efficient cars that will help the Korean brands to lower their average CO2 fleet emissions in Europe.Kia Chief Operating Officer Paul Willis said the carmaker realizes that cutting CO2 emissions is an important issue.
"We have to recognize it and respond to it appropriately. The market is dictating that everyone listens to the issues of CO2," Willis said.
Kia's most fuel-efficient cars will have the label Eco before the model name. In Geneva, Kia unveiled a five-door version of its Cee'd lower-medium hatchback with CO2 emissions of 106 grams per kilometer called the Eco-Cee'd and a three-door Pro-Cee'd with CO2 emissions of 104g/km.
The cars use technology such as stop-start systems and better aerodynamics to improve fuel economy and therefore cut CO2 emissions.
Currently, the most fuel-efficient Cee'd cars are a 1.6-liter diesel with CO2 emissions of 119g/km and a 1.6-liter gasoline Cee'd with CO2 emissions of 152g/km.
