Enjoy the best of both worlds.

Electric when you want it. Petrol when you need it. Hyundai Plug-in Hybrid vehicles give you the best of both worlds with a full-electric driving range at the push of the EV mode button. And once the electric-only range is depleted, you can plug into a charging station – or just continue on with the petrol engine of the full-parallel hybrid drive system.

  3. Safety.

    Electric battery vehicles have no oil and no transmissions – that means they need less maintenance.

  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 Plug-in 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.

  5. Charging.

    You can charge our Hyundai Plug-in Hybrid vehicles (PHEV) at a public AC charging station, a home wall box or domestic wall socket.

FAQ.

  
Our Plug-in Hybrids feature a combination of a petrol engine paired with an electric motor, which is powered by a lithium polymer battery that gives you an all-electric driving range. Once the electric-only range is depleted, you can plug into a charging station – or just continue on with the petrol engine of the full-parallel hybrid drive system.
This battery can be charged externally by plugging into an AC charging station, home wall box or standard domestic socket. What’s more, Adjustable Regenerative Braking charges the battery while you drive by using the electric motor to generate electricity.
If you don't charge the battery by plugging it into a source of electricity, Adjustable Regenerative Braking still charges the battery while you drive. But even if the battery charge is fully depleted, you can continue driving using the petrol engine of the full-parallel hybrid drive system.
A hybrid has a much smaller lithium polymer battery, which is charged only by Regenerative Braking. A Plug-in Hybrid is equipped with a larger lithium polymer battery, which provides more all-electric driving range – and it can be charged by plugging into a charging station as well as via Regenerative Braking.
