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.

FAQ.
What is a Plug-in Hybrid vehicle?
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.
How can I charge the battery of a Plug-in Hybrid?
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.
What happens if you don't charge a Plug-In Hybrid car?
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.
What's the difference between a hybrid vs Plug-In Hybrid car?
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.
