Hyundai has been on the forefront of hybrid technology and development, believing that you shouldn’t have to compromise style or performance to embrace efficiency and ecology. With the two hybrid incarnations of the beloved Sonata, getting a hybrid doesn’t mean settling for less. Quite the contrary, it means getting more from your automobile. Another perk you get from having a hybrid comes in the form of special privileges (like HOV lane access) and incentives (like government tax rebates for buying a hybrid).
The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
For 2016, Hyundai ups the ante by introducing a new and improved Sonata Hybrid. The 2016 model impresses with imperceptible transitions between its ultra-efficient gas motor and its high-tech electric engine. Power generated while using the gas engine is harnessed and used to recharge the onboard lithium polymer batteries. A regenerative braking system means that even the energy used in braking, which would typically be wasted, is collected and put back into the electrical charging system. It is a study in ultimate efficiency, and it still has all the gorgeous styling and time-tested reliability that has become synonymous with the Sonata name.
The Hyundai Sonata Plug-In
Take hybrid electric driving to the next level with the Sonata Plug-In. This all-new model can be plugged directly into electric power for charging, giving it a greater capacity for electric-only operation. This means even more fuel efficiency, and an even cleaner burning way to drive. And when the electric power is depleted, the Sonata Plug-In switches seamlessly into hybrid mode. It’s an electric car that also runs on gas. The best of both worlds. The Sonata Plug-In takes a step forward, using electric engine technology to its full potential.
Looking Ahead
What is on the horizon for hybrid cars and for Hyundai? The company is clearly committed to staying on the cutting edge of design, technology, and sustainability so it’s safe to say that we’ll continue to see great things from Hyundai Hybrids. Auto shows in recent years have seen some titillating future concepts from Hyundai, like a hybrid crossover SUV.
