Chrysler' Future Hybrid Cars

Chrysler's Future Hybrid Cars were a big hit at the Last Detroit Auto Show this year. In the next few years we will see many changes in the Auto industry, most drastically will be the move towards the totally Electric Cars and Diesel Hybrid Cars. Detroit has seen the writing on the wall and has started a major move in that direction. This years Detroit Auto show had several new additions to the Hybrid Cars of The Future. The 2008 Hybrid Cars have made an impact but these concept Hybrid Cars from Chrysler blows them away. When you look at these American Hybrid Cars of the Future you can see that the Green Car movement is alive and well in Detroit.
Chrysler's three electric concept cars were some of the most popular displays at the show. The ecoVoyger was the most elegant of the three, the Jeep Renegade designed for the more rugged green buyer, and the Dodge Zeo appealed the driving enthusiasts in the crowd. Each one had its own driving niche to fill. The Social Impact of Hybrid Cars is plain to see by the amount of interest in Hybrid Cars lately that the general public has shown.
The ecoVoyager has glass roof with a center spine and boat like tail with short body overhangs. It has four seats that are contoured the body and a recessed area in the headliner that directs music to each seat without the need of privet headsets. Why Hybrid Cars Get Great Mileage is because of their duel power system and this Luxury Hybrid Car is no exception. The ecoVoyager has a 268 horsepower electric motor and a driving range that can be extended to 300 miles when combined with a Hydrogen Fuel Cell extender. This Hybrid Car will be high in the List of Hybrid Cars Coming soon. The ease of entry is achieved by front doors that open top 90 degrees and rear doors that are hinged in the rear and swing to the back. I hope to see more of these Hybrid Cars on the road not just on stage.
The Jeep Renegade has a 1.5 liter three cylinder Diesel Engine that charges the battery pack for an extended range of 400 miles that should make any off road lover smile. The Renegade has two electric motors one on each axle that are 200 hundred kilowatt putting out 268 hp. The drive train comes complete with a low range gear and locking differentials. Rubber clad headlights and tail lights add to it's rugged off road look. When you see this vehicle you know its not your ordinary Diesel Hybrid Car. The Renegade will not be on the list of Luxury Hybrid Cars but it fits the niche it was designed for quite well. The features on the Renegade will be a bench mark for Off Road Hybrid Cars to aspire to.
Inside the interior we have a one piece co-molded instrument panel covered with a urethane skin and the steering wheel is made of light weight silicone and aluminum.
Chrysler has built this car to go almost anywhere and have the same long range capabilities as any normal gas powered vehicle. This Chrysler marvel has all the Benefits of Hybrid Cars and Off Road Capabilities combined.
The Chrysler ZEO (short for zero emissions) is just that thanks to a single 200 kilowatt 268 hp electric motor that is powered by a 64 kilowatt battery pack, that makes this car an All Electric Car. The car has a range of 250 miles and a purposed 0 to 60 in under 6 seconds. As you can see in the picture it has four scissor doors with the rear doors pivoting to the back and away from the rear seats for easy entry.
A narrow console sweeps down from the windshield to the rear giving a twin cockpit effect. The dashboard is a wide sloping fabric covered curved piece that travels past the front door into the back panels with wonderful uniformity. The windshield, steering wheel, and instruments give a single design impression to the passengers. With the low slung sporty look that this car has Seemed to appeal to many of the visitors at the Detroit Auto Show. This could be one of the best non Hybrid Cars of The Future for fun commuting around town. The Tax Rebate on both Hybrid Cars and Electric Cars Gives added incentive for everyone to take a second look at these cars in the future.
