Electrified efficiency.

Hyundai Hybrid vehicles use electric power to help you go farther on a litre of petrol. They are equipped with both a petrol engine and a battery-powered electric motor: a so-called full-parallel Hybrid drive system. Adjustable Regenerative Braking charges the battery while you drive, so you don't have to.

    1. Start/Low Speed.

      When starting or driving at low speed, the electricity stored in the battery powers the electric motor to accelerate our Hyundai Hybrid vehicles.

    2. Acceleration/Uphill.

      During heavy acceleration or driving uphill, the electric motor and petrol engine work in parallel to maximise acceleration and minimise fuel consumption.

    3. Constant Speed.

      At constant speeds, power is provided by either the petrol engine or the electric motor, whichever is the most energy-efficient in that situation.

    4. Deceleration/Downhill.

      The regenerative braking system charges the battery by using the electric motor to slow the car. When decelerating or driving downhill, the energy generated is stored in the battery.

    FAQ.

     
    Hybrid powertrains use electric power to help you go farther on a litre of petrol. They are equipped with both a petrol engine and a battery-powered electric motor: a full-parallel Hybrid drive system. Regenerative braking charges the battery, so you don’t have to.
    Depending on the driving situation, Hyundai hybrids switch seamlessly between the electric motor and conventional engine, sometimes utilising both at the same time: a so-called full-parallel hybrid. The electric motor also helps slow the car via regenerative braking, which charges the lithium-ion polymer battery that powers the electric motor. 
    One of the advantages of a Hybrid is that you never have to charge a battery yourself. The electric motor helps slow the car, a technology called regenerative braking, which charges the lithium-ion polymer battery that powers the electric motor.
