Another little car with big dreams has made its world debut.

If you haven’t tired of hearing about the electrifying strategies of Chevrolet and Nissan, Korean automaker Hyundai has entered the arena with a full-speed battery electric vehicle known as the BlueOn.  Ironically, the teeny four-door was unveiled at South Korea’s “Blue House” (similar to the U.S. White House), where it was announced that a fleet of 30 cars will participate in a two-year pilot program and promotional tour, kicking off at the G20 summit.

Powered by a lithium-polymer battery, the BlueOn serves up a range of approximately 87 miles on a single charge, which is noteworthy but far from best-in-class.  The battery’s juice can be replenished via a 220-volt or 380-volt outlet and off you can go… until you reach a top speed of 80 mph, that is. A 4.2-inch LCD display with voice guidance will notify you of charge status, and also point out where the nearest charging station is located, if needed.  With about $34 million invested in the BlueOn program, Hyundai is eager to get some cars on the road.  The company plans to produce roughly 2,500 BlueOns by the end of 2012.

Since we’re in the U.S., it will likely be a while before we’re privy to the BlueOn.  But that doesn’t mean the automaker is leaving us high and dry.  I’m not sure if you checked out the Sonata sedan recently, but it’s looking pretty as can be… and a hybrid powertrain option is just around the corner.
