Elio Motors creates a USD 6,800 3-wheeled 84 mpg car
Exterior:
The Elio is a cheap and reliable 84 mpg car. It is powered by a 3 cylinder engine 1.0L engine which produces 70 bhp and can go from 0-60 mph in just 9.6 seconds because of it's lightweight which allows the car to go faster than any 3-wheeled car on the market today which is very impressive for a 1.0L car. The Elio Motors looks unique from the exterior to the interior because the front wheels of the Elio Motors are covered with either a cover which is the paint's colour and plastic and the rear wheel is covered with a plastic panel. What makes the car so well balanced is that there are 2 wheels at the front and 1 wheel at the back which makes the car more stable than 3-wheeled cars which have a wheel in front and 2 wheels at the back. You will get LED headlights which makes the car look very nice for a USD 6,800 car. Who would even expect LED headlights on a USD 6,800 car?
Interior:
Look at the sexy steering wheel in the Elio Motors 3-wheeled car. It really looks really nice as you will get an iPad holder which means that you can hold your iPad on there. You can get a back-up camera if you want it. In my opinion, the back-up camera is a good option because the Elio Motors does not have a rear wheel mirror. In the Elio Motors P4 (Prototype 4), didi not have big mirrors at the side which made visibility very difficult because you would have to look out of the window if you want to reverse. The car is very well equiped because it comes standard with power windows, a digital dashboard and an iPad holder which can hold your iPad and let you control the car's systems. You can get Navigation which is a very nice feature to have as you can navigate the streets if you have lost your way. The Elio Motors can not only be unlocked with iPhone. You can also start the engine with iPhone which is also a very convenient feature as you can start the car and the, you can just drive off!
What makes the car so cheap?:
The car is very cheap because there is less options to choose and the options are whether you want a 5-speed automatic gearbox or a 5-speed manual gearbox and 7 colours to choose from. For example, if you want a sunroff for the Elio Motors, you will just get the sunroof which makes the car cheaper.
What makes the car so economical?:
The car is very economical because it only weights 1200 Ibs which is very light and you will get less air space which makes driving the car more economical.
