Discover Hyundai's Impressive Lineup
of Electrified Vehicles

Both a hybrid electric vehicle and a plug-in hybrid use an electric motor and a gasoline engine to generate movement. Both adapt on their own based on driving conditions, activating the electric motor and/or gas engine as needed, and both use regenerative braking to recover energy during deceleration.

The key difference: the plug-in hybrid has a larger electric motor and greater battery capacity, allowing for a longer range on electric-only power. The plug-in hybrid plugs into an external electric source for charging, while the standard hybrid is fueled only with gasoline and recharges its battery automatically.

A Hybrid vehicle uses both a gasoline engine and an electric motor for propulsion. A Battery Electric Vehicle uses only an electric motor -- no gasoline required. The electric vehicle's high-density battery needs to be periodically charged through an external electrical power source.

No. Hybrid vehicles automatically charge as they move. Through a process called regenerative braking, energy that would otherwise be lost during deceleration is recovered and stored in the battery for later use.

For long commutes, a hybrid offers better efficiency in all driving conditions than a standard gas vehicle. A plug-in hybrid gives you the same benefits plus the ability to travel up to 53 km on pure electric power (TUCSON Plug-in Hybrid) -- well suited to inner-city driving. For longer drives, traditional hybrids like the SONATA Hybrid can travel up to 1,000 km on a single tank.

For shorter city commutes with lots of stop-and-go driving, a fully electric powertrain works best. You'll produce zero emissions and effortlessly get up to speed. Energy from braking is recaptured and used to recharge the battery through regenerative braking -- so stop-and-go driving actually helps extend your range.

Hyundai electric and hybrid vehicles come with a 5-year / 100,000 km comprehensive warranty and an 8-year / 160,000 km warranty on hybrid and electric components -- including the high-voltage battery.

Provincial rebates are available for battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Eligibility criteria vary by province. If your vehicle qualifies, your Hyundai dealer applies the rebate directly at the time of purchase.

Note: traditional hybrids (HEVs) are not classified as zero-emission vehicles and are not eligible for EV rebates in Canada. Conditions apply -- contact our team for the latest details on current incentives.

Maintenance costs vary by model and service type. Generally, EVs require less routine maintenance than gas vehicles -- no oil changes, fewer moving parts, and less brake wear thanks to regenerative braking. Our service team can provide a specific maintenance estimate for any model you're considering.
