Although the Elio costs only $6,800, the vehicle’s specifications are very impressive. Each vehicle comes equipped with air conditioning, heat, defrost, power windows, door lock, seat belts, tempered glass, three airbags, a windshield wiper and an AM/FM radio at no extra fee. In addition to these features, the vehicle is outfitted with an 8-gallon tank which allows drivers to travel upward of 670 miles without the need for a fill up and a Safety Management System comprised of a reinforced roll-cage, Anti-Lock Braking System and 50 percent larger crush zones than similar vehicles.
Elio Motors has also focused their attention to incorporating the latest technology concepts in their vehicle's design. The Elio’s aerodynamic body and composite panels prevent outside noises from reaching the cockpit, which will provide clear listening quality when drivers utilize future Elio electronic features such as an in-vehicle smartphone docking station.
