South Korean concern Hyundai presented a new generation hybrid system, which in the future will be used for the entire model range of all brands included in the auto giant.





The power plant includes a gasoline engine, transmission and two electric motors. The first is responsible for torque transfer and engine recuperation, the second helps when starting off and works as a generator.

The technology allows using any engine from the Hyundai line. Today, the engine range includes units with an output of 100 to 300 hp. At the moment, the manufacturer has adapted a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for it; a version with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine will appear in the near future.

According to the company's engineers, this scheme is the most energy-efficient. In addition, the installation reduces the level of noise and vibration, significantly increasing the comfort of travel.

At the first stage, only regular hybrids are announced, but in the future, the technology will be improved and modifications with the ability to connect to an outlet and larger batteries are expected to appear. The company is also working on an all-wheel drive e-AWD transmission with a separate electric motor on the rear axle.

The first model to receive the new hybrid system was the Hyundai Palisade. The car is driven by an installation with a capacity of 334 horsepower and 460 Nm of torque. Among the main advantages are productivity (it is 19% more powerful) and fuel efficiency (it consumes 45% less fuel compared to a conventional internal combustion engine).

In addition, the model has acquired a hardcore version of the XRT Pro for tough off-roading. Such cars will receive a 3.5-liter V6, a new body kit and a number of technical improvements.
