Geneva Show 2009 Highlights: Magna Steyr Mila Concept



Austrian parts supplier and automobile manufacturer Magna Steyr doesn't plan to sell its Mila EV as shown but intends to use the it as a sales piece for its technology expertise.
Magna, which produces the BMW X3 and European-market Chrysler 300C, designed the Mila with flexibility in mind. As a result, the chassis allows for multiple powertrains and drive configurations. In Geneva trim, a 67-hp electric motor powers the four-door hatchback to a range of just below 100 miles. Its lithium-ion battery recharges in just 2.5 hours.
