Electrified efficiency.

Hyundai self-charging 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 full-parallel self-charging hybrid drive system. Adjustable Regenerative Braking charges the battery while you drive, so you don't have to.

    FAQ.

     

    Self-charging hybrid powertrains 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.
    Depending on the driving situation, Hyundai self-charging hybrids 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. 
    One of the advantages of a Hyundai self-charging hybrid is that you never have to charge a battery yourself. The electric motor is primarily charged by a technology called regenerative braking, which changes the lithium-ion polymer battery when slowing or braking the power of the electric motor.
