FAQ.
What is a Hybrid car?
Hybrid cars (HEV) or self-charging hybrid cars are equipped with both a petrol engine and a battery-powered electric motor: a full-parallel Hybrid drive system. Regenerative braking can charge the battery so there is no need to plug the car in to charge.
How does a hybrid car work?
Depending on the driving situation, Hyundai self-charging hybrid vehicles switch seamlessly between the electric motor and conventional engine, sometimes utilising both at the same time: a 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.
Do you have to charge a hybrid vehicle?
One of the advantages of hybrid car is that you never have to charge a battery yourself which is why we refer to our Hyundai hybrid range as as self-charging hybrid cars. The electric motor is primarily charged by a technology called regenerative braking, which charges the lithium-ion polymer battery when slowing or braking the power of the electric motor.
Should I buy a hybrid car?
A self-charging hybrid car might be the right choice for you if you want to reduce fuel consumption and emissions without changing how you drive. Hybrid cars are a good choice if you drive a lot in city traffic and don't have good charging options.
Are hybrid cars automatic?
Almost all hybrid cars are automatic with a few exceptions. All Hyundai hybrid cars are automatic giving you a smooth and enjoyable drive.
What is the difference between a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid car?
A hybrid has a much smaller lithium polymer battery, which can be charged by Regenerative Braking or the petrol engine. 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 primarily via Regenerative Braking.
