The car and the two riders are expected to journey along the 12,800 kilometers, and using the technical driving "hypermiling" to obtain the best distance. "The goal for the car to achieve better fuel economy of 22.4 kilometers per liter of fuel is achieved by a Volkswagen Jetta with 2.0 liter diesel engine in 2009," Kia said.
The target is higher than the average of 21 kilometers with a liter of fuel that has been tested by the factory car, but lower than the 28.6 kilometers achieved by eco-drivers championship contest held in South Korea in July.
